SELF-INQUIRY PAGES: How to Unleash Your Creative Mojo
One of the reasons why aspiring entrepreneurs, writers, artists, musicians and other cultural creatives struggle is because they routinely run into obstacles (inner and outer) that derail them. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Sometimes all that's needed for a creative person to get unstuck is a few minutes of reflection, ideation, and a change of mindset.
That's what Idea Champions' online, self-inquiry pages are all about.
Created by Idea Champions' co-Founder, Mitch Ditkoff, self-inquiry pages are a kind of chiropractic adjustment for your creative mojo.
What follows are the names of the 84 self-inquiry pages I have developed so far, some of which are used in my online Year of Living Creatively course (the date of the next one is yet undetermined).
