Okay, it's like yes, time. Now this is my favorite part, I think it's really fun. If you don't, that's okay, we're all different. I want you to get to step two in your workbook. And at the top of the page, put on some of your ideas from the foundational work, we did the research and self awareness for lifestyle and values and interests. I want these thoughts to just kind of be in the back of your head as you're coming up with ideas.

And they're going to kind of influence your thoughts and ideas as you're going through the brainstorm. Now for this brainstorm to really work well. I need you to go nuts go wild with your thinking. divergent thinking means thinking outside of the box. I don't want you to hold yourself back or edit yourself. Here's why.

Let's say one of your thoughts is I want to build a house on Mars. You would just put that out there. You don't have to worry About how crazy it is, or who's going to read it or anything, you want to build a house on Mars, then just put it down. Now, when we get to the refinements stage, you might find that what you like about that building a house on Mars spot is that you want to build something, a home for people in an environment where things are struggling and maybe underdeveloped. And you really want to explore that sort of area. So it started with a house on Mars.

And that's triggered some thinking that you may not think of, if he didn't start with that house on our spot. So please, go crazy and write down anything that comes to mind. I'm going to read you some questions that are going to help you think about some things in a different way, hopefully. And even though you've just said, Yeah, okay, I get it. Go crazy. don't edit myself.

You're probably still going to do it a little bit. So I've come up with a few things. To help you out with this brainstorm, the first game is to time yourself. I want you to try and get as many answers to these questions out in a certain amount of time. So say one minute per question. There's 12 questions.

So you've got 12 minutes to get as many answers as you possibly can. game number one, see if that works for you. In game number two, I want you to not worry about the timing instead, go for quantity. How many answers can you put down per question? There's a spot there for nine per question. See if you can get at least 100.

That's almost nine per question. And with a couple in there for if you can't think of something but you can google answers you can ask friends, you can get somebody to help you. Don't worry about timing just get as many as possible. So game number two is about quantity. Now, here's game number three. Sometimes when you write something down, it feels like a commitment.

So let's bypass that commandment altogether. And instead of writing it down, grab most smartphones, have a recording device, any recording device, and just say that loud, whatever your answer is, say it out loud. And it's sometimes easier to not edit yourself when you're talking rather than when you're writing. So there's a few ideas on how you can help make this brainstorm a little bit easier. And I am going to read through the questions for you. In that time, I'll also flash up some pictures that might lead you somewhere.

You can interpret it any way that you want. But if that doesn't work for you, and you would rather just do one of the games that I mentioned, and then skip to the next video, that is fine as well. Okay, let's start with the questions. What would you do if money weren't a factor? Number two, what social causes Would you like to support through work Three What did you like to do and contribute when you were a teenager? For what subjects Do you talk about?

Read watch or listen to? Five? What companies or people would you like to work with? Six. If you had your own business, what would it be? Seven.

What general areas do you enjoy health finance, sales, creative education, that sort of thing? Eight if you stayed in your current job, how could you expand it? Nine Do you have any hobbies that could turn into work? 10 What do your friends think you should do? 11 What emerging possibilities didn't exist when you started your career. And 12 what low stress jobs interest you, dog walker cafe clerk you instructor etc.

Okay, be sure to take the time that you need in this brainstorm session. Bring in whatever resources you need as well. And when you're ready, then I will see you in the next video.
