Dream like an 8 year old

Can I be honest for one sec?  Sometimes I struggle to see the possibilities.  Sometimes I am quick to say no to things, when I should say "let's explore this".

That is why kids just rock.  Everything is possible.  Creativity is not an issue.  Do you need a flying car that will get you somewhere in 2 seconds, never fear a 5 year old will build it for you.

 

It is amazing how the older we get the more stubborn and less open we become.  No wonder some many brands just plain old suck.  No wonder so many products are not easy to use, intuitive or even exciting.

Perhaps the best solution is to turn your product over to a panel of 8 year olds.  You might actually be surprised at what you get and learn something in the process....

I think I would press the "Food" and "Petshop" buttons a lot... ;-)

I hear ya. I would have issues with the "order" button. That is too easy.

What a wonderful post. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Someone said that we begin life as an exclamation mark and end it as a question mark.

Better to respond to challenges and new ideas with a "Yes!" rather than an "ya, but".

Keep creating...a daring adventure,
Mike

Thanks for the comment Mike and for stopping by. Without challenges life would be too boring to stand.

Best wishes to you and your family during the holiday season.
