Talking Points

- Have a daily practice
- Avoid perfectionism
- Set a schedule
- Practice being creative
- Work on something that’s bigger than yourself
- Have a big idea or specialty to focus on
- Feedback from other people can help you generate ideas
- It’s OK to ignore certain kinds of feedback
- Have accountability outside of yourself
- If you get a streak going, you won’t want to break it
- Having a coach can help
