Turning Your Creative Ideas Into A Reality

[Czech]

Do you ever have the moments when a really great idea pops into your mind? Almost as if a light switch flicked on and your inner genius awakened. Creativity tends to unlock itself at the oddest of moments. Ideas form in our head that seem to be a magical solution to any desire in our personal or professional lives…


- An invention that could make you rich

- An idea for a best-selling novel
- The #1 solution for world hunger
- Marketing your new product
- Ways to increase your sales funnel
- Jobs to apply to

- The best proposal idea ever


The list goes on and on.


If the title of this article caught your eye, I am going to assume that you’ve read similar articles on the subject of turning your ideas into a reality. Almost all of these articles come to the same conclusion: The reason we fail to turn our ideas into a reality is because we do not take enough ACTION.


You’ve read this 1000 times before. But you’re still not taking action.


Action is just one element of success needed to transform your creative ideas into breath-taking masterpieces. So without further adieu, here is an in-depth undertaking at cracking the code to transmuting ideas into physical realities.


It Begins With Mozart:


Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the greatest musical composers to ever live. 222 years after his death and Mozart’s music continues to live on today. It wasn’t until my 20′s that I truly began to appreciate the intricacy, detail and emotion that is fused into each of Mozart’s pieces of work. He spent countless hours perfecting each of his pieces amongst deadlines.


At the same time, Mozart’s music is very simple. If you listen to his music, the majority of his compositions consist of piano and violin. Yes, there are flutes, horns and drums. But for the most part, piano and violin are the staple of Mozart’s musical diet.


When compared to the Star Wars or Indiana Jones theme, there is a clear differentiation in the grandiose style used. These “epic” songs include dozens of orchestral instruments at once, switch keys, and give attention to different key instruments throughout the piece.


Einstein Was Lazy — How He Turned His Ideas Into A Reality:


Albert Einstein is known as one of the smartest men who ever lived, not the hardest working man who ever lived. Einstein did not dream up of grandiose ideas that would change the world. He had one simple goal: To understand general relativity better than anyone had before.

It was this simple idea that gave detailed birth to the Theory of Relativity. Step by step Einstein perfected his craft and uncovered every detail until he became a master of the subject.

The Genius Behind Apple’s Products:


Apple’s products can be broken down into 2 very simple concepts:


1. Simplicity

2. Attention To Detail


In a business speech, marketing guru Eben Pagan quoted that Simplicity and Attention To Detail are the driving forces of Apple’s success. From the iPhone to the iPad, to Apple’s website, all of their designs are broken down into Simplicity and Attention to Detail. Apple did not begin with an idea to revolutionize the music industry or the mobile computing industry. Apple started with one simple idea with a massive focus on perfecting every detail.


The Pleasure-Pain Principle:


The reason you are not turning your creative ideas into a reality is because your ideas are far too grand for you to comprehend.


Read that sentence again.


And again.


When an idea forms into your head, you flood your mind with questions.


What do I call my new business idea?


How do I advertise?


Should I tell people about it?


Who can help me with this task?


Your idea quickly turns sour as the grandiosity of the task becomes more burden than pleasure. Human begins are motivated by two things: Pain or pleasure. We move away from pain, or we move towards pleasure.


When your creative idea first sparks, you are caught in the excitement of the rewards: Money, Recognition, The Feeling Of Accomplishment. As the grandiosity questions take hold, you turn away from your idea because the pain is too great: Too Much Work, Long Hours, You Don’t Know Where To Start.


Simplicity and attention to detail is the driving force of taking action towards success in any task regardless of its size.

When your next creative idea comes in, try thinking smaller rather than bigger. Ask yourself these two questions:


1. How can I create this idea as simply as possible?


2. How can I take the first step towards this goal as perfectly as possible?


Actor Will Smith sums this up well:

You don’t try to build a wall. You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say, “I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built. You don’t start there.

You say, “I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid.” You do that every single day and soon you have a wall.
