5) Channel your inner child.

5) Channel your inner child.

Children are considered "naturally creative" -- only because they know no limits to their creativity. Channel this mentality, especially when it comes to taking a completely different direction with your work.

Most importantly, have fun with your work. A child sees everything as an adventure and makes the most of every moment.
