Entrepreneurs have access to creativity that can energize a business. Don’t be deterred by the fact that there isn’t an established path. Most individuals don’t have the inclination or wherewithal to color outside the lines. You do. It’s your innate ability to see things differently and try different approaches that is one of your greatest skills. These are the same skills that allow you to mastermind creative solutions when it does not seem like there are any.

“There are so many times when things seem impossible.” 

When building a company, you don’t have the resources—financial or human—to do things the way you would like to. There will be times when your chance of success with a customer, vendor, investor or employee seem slim. Sometimes you lose opportunities simply because you aren’t established. There are often real reasons why you can’t achieve something. You don’t have the money, resources, experience, capital, partners, team members, investors, facilities, capacity, technology—the list goes on.

One of the core beliefs you need to practice daily should be the faith or confidence that “there is always a way.”

Many great ideas and visions buck the trend. Amazon told us we would never buy a book in a store again. It’s your innate ability to see things differently and try different approaches that is one of your greatest skills. These are the same skills that allow you to mastermind creative solutions when it does not seem like there are any. Don’t let anyone tell you there isn’t a way. Don’t let the established ideas, and traditional solutions make your perspective static and inflexible. You need to bring your creativity to change results. As an entrepreneur, you have the ability to see things differently than others. You may be required to avoid traditional paths. You may even be required to create a new math that turns $2 into $10.
