My Favourite Business Hack for Creatives
If you are a creative business owner or you work with creative entrepreneurs, then you probably know just how many ideas and dreams are flying around at once. It might feel overwhelming to keep track of it all, but with this simple business hack, you’ll be able to keep the creative juices flowing while organizing all of the ideas into actionable steps and a roadmap for success.
What is the Brain Dump Document Process?
My favourite business hack for getting creatives organized is called the “Brain Dump Document Process.”
This hack is perfect for the creatives that have a million and one ideas and dreams floating around, but no idea where to start.
As a VA and OBM for my clients, it’s my job to let their creative juices flow while creating the systems, processes, and action items that bring them to life.
At the beginning of our partnership, I create a brain dump document for them. This can be a simple Google Doc, an open Asana task, or just a note on their phone.
This brain dump document is a place for them to dump all their spur-of-the-moment ideas, thoughts, and dreams into, without having to follow any kind of format.
I tell my clients to leave this document open, and anytime they have an idea or thought, whether it’s for a program, a product, a client, or just a random note, to write it in the document. They don’t have to worry about any of the organization or action items, because that’s where my team and I come in!
At the end of every week, my team and I go through the brain dump document and translate their ideas into action items and steps, like a roadmap to their dreams and success.
I build out the project plan and get my team on the day-to-day tasks necessary to make their amazing ideas come to life. This can also look like developing a new program or product to be launched further down the line.
Benefits of the Brain Dump Document Process
This brain dump doc process takes all of their creative ideas, thoughts, and dreams and turns them into systems, processes, and actions so that shit gets done and their dreams and goals can be achieved.
It eliminates the overwhelm of the creative entrepreneur trying to organize and plan everything themselves and allows them to stay in flow with their creativity and serving their clients.
