So, just what IS meant my “think outside the box?” Here are a couple of examples:
As a kid, I lived with my grandparents (parents died when I was very young). One day, the folks were out shopping for the full day. I came home and there wasn’t any food in the house. I was starving. So, I started looking around. I found some bread, some peanut butter, a slice or two of bologna and a piece of cheese. Now, I like all individually so wondered what such a combo would taste like. It was GOOD! It wasn’t like mixing ice cream, mashed potatoes and gravy. I stayed in a “general catagory.”
How many of you have a spouse that can only cook from the instructions on the can/box? Outta the box thinking COULD turn a bland meal into a scrumptious meal.
The same thought processes hold even more power when applied to marketing (and having an income) on the Internet. And, as much as I hate to say it, you need to fail several times to learn how to develop a constant, sustaining income.
When you understand that all your prior education was meant to keep you as a conformist, a “Good little robot,” if you will, getting your head outside the prestructured box will open the world to you. And, the sooner, the better!
