How to Simplify Your Idea Without Losing Its Essence

Have you ever had a lightning bolt of inspiration, only to second-guess yourself when it's time to execute? 

I'm sure you can relate to staring at a blank page, realizing your brilliant idea feels muddled and unclear. In today's episode of Sparked, we explore why it's so hard to distill multidimensional concepts into singular big ideas. 

In today’s episode we’re digging into:

• Why do we resist narrowing down our visions? Is it an unrealistic attachment to complexity or fear that simplicity will dilute impact?  
• Do we lack the essential skills for effective distillation? If so, how can we cultivate them?
• How can we avoid recoiling from the meticulous work of shaping abstract ideas into concrete expressions? Are there mindset shifts that make the process feel more inviting?
• When is sticking to your original intricate vision important? And when is restraint and selectivity crucial to resonate with your audience? 
• How do we balance creative freedom with serving others when bringing ideas to life?
