Put In The Box What You're Thinking

It's fine that you don't know me well. As a brief introduction, I am a business and success coach that is hired internationally. You may be a fan of a favorite motivational speaker or a mentor, but let me tell you something that they don't say often, or probably have not told you up to now. Although simple, what you learn might just change the way your future will be shaped.

I know you have heard about this popular saying, "Think Outside of The Box". I conducted a some research regarding this idiomatic expression. According to wikipedia, "Thinking outside the box" is to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel, creative and smart thinking. I believe that everyone knows this expression. It's taught from an early age in school. In a nut shell this expression means "Be Creative". In every way possible, think of ideas which people don't normally think of, right? Thinking outside the box is good, but if it is not be balanced, every creative idea will be worthless.

I remember my younger years when I was just about to start my own business. "Think outside the box" was the first statement I heard from my parents. You know what happened, i spent most of my time thinking, thinking and thinking alone. The funny thing is that after I finished in setting up my very first offline business, the next thing I did is again to think, think and think of new creative ideas. Creative ideas overpopulated me! I got confused and those ideas I thought as opportunities made me think twice since I was thinking so much. Instead of committing most of my time to my existing business, I was busy planning on some other opportunities.

Now, opportunities are good. Thinking of creative ideas is also good. But confusing ones self is not! This is where I came up with the quote "Put In The Box What You Are Thinking". Just after thinking outside the box, don't ever forget to put those ideas in the box! This simply means that once you have thought of an idea, commit to it. Create a plan and orchestrate some procedures you will take to make it successful. Build the best foundations so that it will stay strong and growing for years to come.

What's next? If you are quite sure that you have constructed a solid foundation, you can again "think outside the box". There will be a lot of new opportunities. Don't overlap your interest. Just commit to every opportunities one at a time. :-)
