What if your creative ideas are the opposite of what you think

We call this The Flip, a technique that pushes us to abandon our current path and deliberately pursue the opposite view.

Oct 2025

The most valuable ideas often stand directly against the norm. We call this The Flip, a technique that pushes us to abandon our current path and deliberately pursue the opposite view.

The magic happens when we ask, “What if we did the exact reverse?” We’re talking about abandoning logic, challenging assumptions, and using the counterpoint as our most powerful tool.

That’s when a predictable solution flips into an original, undeniable idea.

It’s a technique that fully relies on creative confidence.

You take your best idea, find its opposite, and then explore. Consider that your point of view – even when it’s illogical – is the most important tool you have.

Go the other way. See what you find.
