good morning believe nation today we’re
going to talk about five ways to get you
being creative the first inside want to
offer to you with great respect is
whether you are a bookkeeper or a banker
whether you’re a taxi driver or a
hamburger flipper whether you’re a
student or a filmmaker you are a
creative when we think of the word
creative we think of people who are in
ad agencies or often we think of artists
but whatever you do every day is your
craft whatever you do every day you have
the opportunity and I suggest to you the
responsibility to produce your art and
what you release out into the world will
determine what the world sends back to
you so you are creative my life changed
when I was a litigation lawyer and I was
working on this project for this lost
society that I was working for in my
free time and I was putting together
this project and we were going to bring
together all these different lawyers for
the other lawyers in the city and my co
partner on this project said you know
Robin you’re extremely creative and that
sort of woke something up inside of me
and I it turned me on to the fact that I
have creativity inside of me and it was
just this this light bulb or aha moment
and so I suggest the same to you which
is regardless of what you do or where
you live in the world you have
creativity inside of you and one of my
favorite questions is what would a
little child that you once were think of
the adult that you’ve become when you
were a little kid your eyes sparkled
when you were a little kid you loved
producing art into the world what has
happened to that if anything so I want
you to start thinking like da Vinci I
want you to wake up your inner Picasso I
want you to find that van Gogh inside of
you and regardless of what you do I want
you to connect to your creative
wellspring that longs to you know show
up fully of me in the world
we are so busy that we don’t notice that
we’re not productive busy does not mean
that you you are producing if we are
just spinning our wheels and and the
great thinking and progress that we’ve
made in this country steam engines
telephones automobiles all types of
things of spacecrafts we’re done by
people who had moments to think we’re
moving so fast and at breakneck speed
and if we get a free moment we’re on
Twitter and Facebook and everything it’s
the death of creativity and I would
challenge people to go back to
meditation and and if your spirits will
go back to prayer if you’re not just go
back to just laying still for a moment
to clear your head to hit the reset
button because we are starting every day
with the burdens from yesterday
assaulting us in today let’s put a comma
between all of it RS you know as an
actor I think said it that once a week
he doesn’t talk if you don’t talk all
day it just peace yeah yeah just shut it
all down and you’d be surprised what you
can hear when you setup second tactic
for you is the 6010 method it’s been
come people have used this method I’ve
been teaching and it just created
game-changing results for them science
has proven that the best way to achieve
elite performance as a creative person
is to work in an intense burst for 60
minutes so literally you you almost get
sweaty because you are so focused you
are expending all of your creativity all
of your talents all of the jewels of
your internal gifts for 60 strong
minutes just like a like a like a runner
running for 60 minutes full-out then
what do you do ten minutes for recovery
what makes an elite athlete is not
really what you do on the gate on the
playing field it’s how you recover so
6010 method do that twice a day let’s
say a 60 you pull out your phone and you
look at your time sixty minutes of
intense creativity ten minutes of
recovery do another 60 minute Bert’s
burst and another ten minutes of
every that’s what roughly two and a half
hours you probably will get more done
better work done in those two and a half
hours than most people get done in
probably 14 days I want to talk about
creativity my contention is that
creativity now is as important in
education as literacy and we should
treat it with the same status thank you
that was it thank you so 15 minutes left
well I was born no I had a great story
recently I love telling it of a little
girl who was in a drawing lesson she was
six inches to the back drawing and the
teacher said this little girl hardly
ever paid attention and in this drawing
lesson she did and the teacher was
fascinated she went over to and she said
what are you drawing and the girl said
I’m drawing a picture of God and the
teacher said but nobody knows what God
looks like and the girl said they will
in a minute
when when my son was four in England
actually he was four everywhere to be
honest the men her for being strict
about it where everyone who was for that
yeah but he was in the nativity play
remember the story no his biggest big
story Mel Gibson did the sequel you may
have seen another nativity to mid-term
James got the part of Joseph which we
were thrilled about we consider this to
be one of the lead parts we had the
place crammed full of agents and
t-shirts you know James Robinson is
Joseph we had he didn’t have to speak
but the other bit where the three kings
come in now they come in bearing gifts
and they bring gold frankincense and
myrrh this really happened we were
sitting there and they I think just went
out of sequence because we talked to
little boy afterwards and said you know
you okay with that they said yeah why
was that wrong they just switched like
it was it anyway the three boys came in
little foils with tea towels on the
Henson they put these boxes down the
first boy said I bring you gold and the
second boy said I bring you mare and the
third boy said Frank sent this
what these things have in common is is
that kids will take a chance if they
don’t know they’ll have a go I’m all
right they’re not frightened of being
wrong now I don’t mean to say that being
wrong is the same thing as being
creative what we do know is if you’re
not prepared to be wrong you’ll never
come up with anything original if you’re
not prepared to be wrong and by the time
they get to be adults most kids have
lost that capacity they have become
frightened of being wrong and we run our
companies that’s by the way we
stigmatize mistakes and we’re now
running national education systems where
mistakes are the worst thing you can
make and the result is that we are
educating people out of their creative
capacities Picasso once said this he
said that all children are born artists
the problem is to remain an artist as we
grow up I believe this passionately that
we don’t grow into creativity we grow
out of it
I think about when I first moved down to
Florida I worked at a Fitness Gym in
when it’s a big box gyms it’s now LA
Fitness it used to be called lifestyle
family fitness and man that was a
budding entrepreneur you know I was one
of those trainers they’re like I’m gonna
do whatever I have to do to get more
clients that’s why I had the most
clients and that’s why I decided to
leave in mr. Milan gym while I was there
one of the things that kind of made me
feel I’m saying unappreciated but kind
of like put me down a little bit like
faith stay in your spot soldier stay in
your lane little man was when I create I
started creating my own pamphlets and my
own fliers at the gym of course they’re
giving me leads right but I was
ambitious and I was like well you guys
are giving me leads but I’m gonna go get
more I’m bringing them business by
creating the pamphlets and the fliers I
just wanted them everywhere cuz I
wouldn’t everyone to get an opportunity
to and I want an opportunity to show my
showcase my training skills and get more
clients and I remember I made a dope-ass
flyer at least I thought it was dope and
I put it up in the gym I put it up all
right
around the gym you know in the
neighborhood and stuff and on my off
hours when I wasn’t training people I’d
hand them out and stuff when I say he
come and try out a free workout with me
and it was quickly washed by the CEO of
the company the manager got work got
word of my ambitions and and shared it
with the corporate structure and they’re
like no this little needs to calm down
so that was one of the things that kind
of like made me feel is that well you
know what I’m not gonna work for anybody
else that’s what that’s really when I
got into entrepreneurship I would have
probably worked for it I could have
definitely worked for you know I never
want to say that I wouldn’t work for
anybody I would work I like sales you
know I would have been great in sales
but I would have worked in an
environment that allowed creativity that
would that would have created or allowed
me to create my own opportunities right
those are the best places to work if
you’re not an entrepreneur and you’re
working somewhere and your ear of the
ambitious type spirit and you don’t want
to work somewhere where you can work up
the ladder or you can exercise your
creativity and create something out of
nothing and contribute to the to the
company but you know in my situation
they just weren’t having it be creative
about how you are role modeling and
leaving a legacy what I mean look each
each of us shows up in a certain way and
we have to think about how we show up
and the legacy that we leave when I
started this this show you know I want
to do something different everybody else
was interviewing a bunch of people but
they weren’t really ever sharing them
their heart their soul what they thought
about life they were looking for wisdom
outside themselves and I think that’s
fine I think those formats are great but
I said I want to leave something
different I didn’t know what it was but
I said well I’ll just try to think of
what would be the best of what I could
share about life and about myself and I
challenged myself to make that part of
this show and I hope you enjoy it but
you know I know a lot of people who go
through their whole lives
they’re always interviewing and talking
to other people but they’ve never got
articulate about sharing what they feel
about life they weren’t creative and
thinking about
the real legacy you’re going to leave is
your words your thoughts your
relationships your unique contributions
so pursue those things boldly pursue
those things with consistency pursue
those things in a way that you’ll be
happy at the end of life you can look
back and say you know what I was
creative I brought the best of me I
express my thoughts my feelings my needs
my desires my vision for life if you’ll
do that you’ll feel a new renewed energy
come into your life you’ll feel what we
call the charge life
thank you guys so much for watching I
made this video because Sioux punching
taka I hope I pronounced that properly
asked me to so there’s a topic that
you’d like me to cover in the next
edition of believe life leave it in the
comments below and I’ll see what I can
do I’m also curious as to how you stay
creative and which of the clips most
resonated with you leave it in the
comments I’ll join the discussion thank
you so much for watching and have an
amazing day continue to believe and I’ll
see you soon
we need to value long thinking normally
we talk about brilliant thinking fast
thinking deep thinking but here we’re
talking about something different long
thinking what does that mean it’s some
thought that takes us far it’s as if you
were reading poetry or listening to
music you don’t judge the single notes
you don’t judge the single words it’s
the unsound bow that gives you a feeling
and takes you far we must do the same
thing we are with our concepts we need
to go far and so we can use association
of ideas combination of ideas extraction
of principles and application of those
principles to areas where they were
never applied before we need to be
open-minded we need to be fluent look
for alternatives and not for the correct
answer because when you think creatively
there’s no single correct answer there
are many possible alternatives and
suppose now that we are lucky we land up
upon a new idea in our travel in the
exploration out of the box what is the
value of that how do we assess the value
of a new idea it’s very difficult if
it’s really new because you’ve never
seen that before
nobody else has seen that before it’s as
if we land it on a new planet totally
undiscovered territory and it’s
difficult to understand the value of
something new first of all because we
don’t feel entitled to be inventors Who
am I to be the generator of that new
idea and probably this has been thought
about before if this is correct
somebody else would have done it before
me these are all natural mechanisms with
which we kill our own ideas we have to
resist that we have to look for the
match between the new idea and our
initial Drive our initial focus or
evaluate the idea purse
for some value and maybe see that that’s
something that solves another problem
which was not yours
serendipity happens all the time we just
need to have the eyes to see that to
notice the difference how many of you
have a little flash of an idea before
you go to bed or when you wake up in the
morning or while you’re driving we have
little flashes of ideas whether it’s a
song or how to fix something or how to
overcome some problem at a job these
little flashes are very important these
are our Eureka moments and when we have
these how many of you jumped out of the
bed in the middle of winter and write
those down or pull your car over not do
it while you’re driving because you’ll
run into me and then I’ll get my tenth
concussion and write these ideas down
these ideas are very important and we
often don’t realize how important they
are to us and it’s not that we don’t
believe in ourself but we don’t believe
in the validity of these little ideas
these little moments this fifth stage
but these are important and these are
important to write down third tactic I
wanna offer to you learned it from Bill
Gates dream weeks what he does is from
time to time he schedules one full week
he gets away from his office gets away
from his city and all he does is read
and he thinks we will get you will get
your biggest ideas not in the office
away from the office not in your usual
environment away from your environment
I invite you once every quarter in other
words once every three weeks schedule a
full week to do nothing but dream to
think to strategize to plan to ask
yourself questions like where do I need
to be five years from now for this to
have been the best five-year pocket of
my life what must I do over the course
of the remainder of my lifetime so I
will have lived a legendary life dream
weeks work
going to talk about five ways to get you
