Let me explain.
In this day in age there isn’t a lot of things that haven’t been thought of.
Usually the new innovative things are through the evolution of technology and what it can enable.
In 2015 Uber, the world’s largest taxi company owns no vehicles, Facebook the world’s most popular media owner creates no content, Alibaba, the most valuable retailer has no inventory and Airbnb the world’s largest accommodation provider owns no real estate.
But let’s take a step back. What if the new was actually the old?
What if we take what is inside the box and put all options on the table.
This isn’t about trying to add new things to the box but more so, taking a look and applying these things inside the box in a whole new way.
It’s all about perspective.
The problem really is locking down exactly what is in the box and then having the patience to really have a look at what the box contains from the many possible perspectives.
How we then apply it with what we have, will always come in shapes and sizes. Like combinations, one person could apply what’s in the box this way, compared to another doing it that way.
So if we view this with our own abilities, skills, passions and talents. Ask yourself:
What do you have in your box? What are you good at? What can do you do that others can’t?
But more so what can you do differently that others are doing normally?
How can you take all your skills, apply it to the norm and make the difference?
I think this is what will make you to really be ‘outside the box’. It is just a matter of identifying what you can do and applying it.
I challenge you to answer these questions above, to have a read of the below recommended books.
