According to Entrepreneur Network partner Brian Tracy, creative thinking requires that you continually dig deep into yourself to generate more, newer, better, faster, cheaper and different ideas that you can use to improve the important parts of your life. In order to do this, you'll need to tap into seven common qualities of creative thinkers, starting with an intense curiosity.
Creative thinkers start by asking "Why?" the way children do all the time. Then they ask "Why not?"
Next, creative thinkers practice zero-based thinking. They continually ask, "If I were not doing what I am doing, knowing what I now know, would I start?"
When you begin to ask these questions and practice one or more of these qualities, you prove to yourself that you are truly a genius, and you simultaneously disprove the negative hypothesis.
