When I read about how entrepreneurs make their self-employment idea a great success, I often ask, "How come I can't come up with an idea this brilliant?" Perhaps the story is less simple in reality but I do question why I haven't got the 'juices' to come up with the 'perfect' self-employment idea yet. I'm a professional designer an yet I'm still unable to come up with a self-employment idea after 5 months.
I've decide to take action to expedite the process of coming up with a self-employment idea - going on a short break. I'm off to Istanbul for 5 days and I've promised myself that I won't spend time thinking about self-employment ideas (like I do everyday) while I'm there and just free my mind to allow ideas to come into it.
Perhaps I've been painting myself into a corner thinking along the same lines trying to find the right self-employment idea. I'm a believer in subconscious idea-generation so I'll put it to the test. I won't even bring my business and self-employment self-help books with me.
I've also given myself a deadline to come up with a self-employment idea and implement it one week after I return. I'll report back on whether the plan has worked. For next few days it'll be Turkish delight, watermelon-flavoured nargiles and ancient baths for me.
