Open Sourcing Your Creativity


Creativity is something that’s not easily contained. In fact, it’s contagious. When creative people start putting their heads together, some amazing things happen. It’s a rare occasion when an incredible idea is solely created by one person.


99% of the time the problem isn’t someone stealing your idea, it’s you not actually doing it. So what better way to put an idea into motion than having more people help?

Instead of using traditional methods like emailing ideas back and forth, try using one of the many online collaboration apps

The important thing to remember is that the sharing of ideas is quick, is a low-barrier of entry for other collaborators, and is easy to share.

Realize you can’t do everything on your own

Allow for the free exchange of ideas

Trust other people
