Do Things That Relax You

Some of the greatest innovations in history have been made while strolling along a hiking trail or taking a relaxing bath.  When you relax, your mind is able to make unexpected connections that you might not be able to perceive when you are straining for a breakthrough. This fall and winter find time to do activities that you enjoy and let your mind wander freely. You will probably end up making connections that you never would have made if you’d kept your nose to the grindstone.

Switch Up Your Routine

If you do the same exact thing every day for too long, it can start to feel like a rut and impact your creativity. You may find yourself doing work that feels lazy because you lose the willpower to care. But some adjustments to your routine can help you get your mojo back. Go to a different place for lunch, or try taking a few days off to rejuvenate yourself. You may end up finding fresh inspiration. Working hard is important but if you never take a break and allow your mind to relax there are parts of your brain, such as your subconscious, that will never get to take a whack at finding creative solutions that will help you reach your goals.

Meet Like-minded People

Sometimes all you need to find creative inspiration is having the right conversation with the right person. Trade shows are a great way to meet other entrepreneurs that are passionate and excited about what they are doing. Meeting and talking with these people could help you reach a breakthrough. At the very least, you will be reminded of all the reasons you love doing what you do.

No matter what happens this fall and winter, remember that you don’t have to slow down or stop pushing your business in new directions during the coming months. Even though winter can sometimes be discouraging, it is also a great time to learn and have new experiences that will provide unique perspectives and help you find creative ideas to innovate your business and overcome obstacles.

These three ways to find inspiration during fall and winter will help you keep your creativity flowing through these colder month!

be a bit challenging to get the right picture when you are going to post on social media. As a novice, you might be shy about using your phone for social media pictures, but you absolutely can do it successfully without hiring a professional. I was able to take photos with my client, and they came out great! Here are a few tips we learned that can help you take quality pictures with your phone for social media. 

Use Props

Props can be a way for you to make your brand stand out. What does your brand represent?  Find ways to incorporate the colors of your company’s brand or logo into the picture. You might be able to photograph flowers or other peaceful images that have the same colors as the logo, which can appeal to people on social media. Walking through my client’s garden really helped us find flowers and rocks that had beautiful colors, which stood out on social media.

Take advantage of natural lighting

Light can have more of an effect on your photograph than any other element. If you have the chance, it is always easier to take quality pictures using natural sunlight than it is with the flash on your phone. Consider taking the picture by placing your object between yourself and the sun. Or, if you are taking pictures of a building or something in nature, you could take the photograph while the sun shines off of your object, creating a nice reflection. If the sun is bright and it’s difficult to get the right photo, consider finding a shady spot, which will be out of the direct light but still provide enough natural light to create a great photograph.

Use different layouts

You will want all words and motifs to be clearly seen in your photograph. If the photos come out blurry, that could look sloppy and negatively affect your brand. Make sure everything is crisp and clear. You want your brand to be seen as professional, so just by making sure your images are crisp, clean, and sharp could go a long way towards making your brand stand out from the crowd.

With all the filters and gadgets available to upgrade photos, there is no reason you cannot take social media pictures from your phone! Start where you are by creating great content with your iPhone! Don’t wait for a professional!
