Hi there, thanks for listening to the Sister Circle Podcast.

My name is Crystal Evans Hurst and I'm your host.

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the podcast that's designed to

help you live your life well and to make it a life you love. Listen, you get to choose. Hey there, I'm here because every Monday morning I'm going live with my inner circle sharing all the things and I'm happy to share a part of that conversation with you.

One of the questions that I got this morning was how do I manage innovation and you know what I have a lot to say about that and so I thought this is a little bit of an extemporaneous talk because I did not plan on this this morning. I thought I would share what has actually become my process for developing and

managing the innovation that I have.

But I want you to also know that if you're here and you need more you can always check out the

because I'd be happy to have you connect for more of me for more of my friends and

more of the foolery I have have a Molkin notebook. I have walked

around with a Molkin notebook for years. In this Molkin notebook I write down all the things. I try to write everything down. I do use apple notes as well.

I try to capture the things that appear in my head. I have aqua notes in the shower.

It's waterproof paper with a waterproof pencil because my best ideas come to me in the shower.

I am always thinking of things to create,

things to do, things to do, things to build, things to share, it just comes to me.

But it is a problem if every single idea that comes to me or every single new thing I want to try starts in motion the day that I receive the idea.

Why? Because then I would always be starting and never finishing. I would always be learning and never actually teaching.

I would always be trying and never actually creating a process that's successful that I can share with other people.

I would always be starting over because innovation requires that.

Starting from the beginning, it's called a beginner's mindset that you come to something new with the willingness

to learn, with the willingness to ingest the things you didn't know, even if you know a lot,

to say if I were starting here, what could I learn?
