Dan Koe said it well with this post:

So how do we get a perspective that's worth sharing, and feels unique?

You need to cultivate it and think about it and create it.

You need a lens to put information through. Your unique lens.

And that comes from knowing who you are, what you like, what you want, where you're going, what you're good at, what you're interested in, and bringing that all together and knowing how to express that.

The best ways to cultivate and find unique and interesting perspectives are:

• To be open to new ideas all the time and actively seeking them

• To be allowing your intuition and awareness to be in a place of flow and non resistance so ideas come to you

• To be experimenting and having fun within the domain that you are playing in.

I want to help you connect the dots in your own thinking so you can connect the dots in your audiences..

You do this by noticing your own thinking. Your own realisations and "aha" moments.

What elements and ideas made things "click" for you in your world.

These are the key perspectives that you need to hone in on so others can have the same realisations.

When you keep yourself at the cutting edge of your own thoughts and ideas and keep pursuing things with curiosity you can share the things that come to you with your audience and they will want to follow you just to keep up with where your thoughts and awareness are going..

They want to know what new perspectives you keep arriving at.

This is how the top creators in a niche are able to become so interesting to follow, because they are inviting you into the realm of where they are exploring and pushing their own boundaries to find new territory.

Why not do the same?

It's where the most fun is had anyway!

3 Keys To New Perspectives

Let's look at each of the main 3 ways I mentioned to have realisations and form unique perspectives:

1. To be open to new ideas all the time and actively seeking them

• Read, listen, watch and learn from others in areas you are interested in or passionate about

• Grab the information that stands out to you or inspires you or you feel relates to what you're doing. Note it down. Store it for later. 

• Connect and filter it through the lens of who you are, your values, your goals, the transformation and goal your brand is moving people towards (you yourself will be moving towards it as well or already be there)

2. To be allowing your intuition and awareness to be in a place of flow and non resistance so ideas come to you

• Know the goal you are moving towards so your mind is tuned to find and receiving ideas around it (if you don't know what that is go here)

• Get better at listening to your intuition. That means following little hunches and sparks of curiosity. Be more open that anything could lead to realisations because you've set in motion that you want to receive these kinds of sparks.

• When ideas appear, write them down or act on them straight away.

• Pretend you're like an antenna and know that new waves of ideas are coming your way you just need to get in tune with them

3. To be experimenting and having fun within the domain that you are playing in.

• This means to take inspiration from others and start bringing that into what you're doing. Then start giving things your own flavour.

• Play with ideas and information and re-word it how you would say it or how you think about it. Do free writes and journals on it. Draw pictures. Be open to just having fun and finding what makes you laugh or smile or just things that feel cool to you.

• Use ideas from others as building blocks towards your main goal or problems of your brand and blend it into the mix.

• Use colours, images, words and styles from a mix of others people and combine the elements you like to start finding your own way of doing things that makes you feel good about it

• This is how new ideas form and you start to find your style. Then you feel more creative and open up more flow to come.

• Even though this is more about fostering creativity. It's still how new perspectives form because you are in that creative and experimenting energy which allows you to see things differently.

How do we get better at it? Practice it.

Then evolve it in your own way. Have fun with it. Tweak it. Fuck around with it. That's what processes and perspectives are. They're YOURS!

You need to get better at doing things YOUR way! That's when unique value truly emerges. But it takes some time and experimenting and throwing shit at the wall sometimes. So have fun with it and get creative and make mistakes and learn and take action!

This also begs the questions of do you know who you are, your values, your goals, the transformation and goal your brand is moving people towards?

You need to figure these out so you can see more clearly why you would want to connect the dots within certain new ideas that spark an interest in you.
