Utilizing Internal Creativity

The last few days in the jamblr household have been stressful. We have all placed important roles on each other and strict deadlines are approaching quickly. Being in a start-up with low, to no, funding usually means that their are outside distractions, whether it be work, school, other projects, what have you.

The great thing about creating a site like this, is that is gives us the chance to grow as individuals. It also gives us an opportunity to use our creativity to make a creative product. The openness and newness of jamblr is something that everyone involved has had to deal with on their own. Some parties are new to internet technologies. Others are learning the business side on the fly. Funding is a different story all together.

As each day ends working on this monster, I think I continue to learn, not only about the site’s structure and capabilities, but about the people involved with the site. That is what drives me to be vocal at all the meetings, what keeps me passing out flyers, working on focus groups and gaging interests. It is also what keeps creative minds working. If I was the only one talking, I can never learn. But when my idea turns the ants in Justin or Logan’s head, then my idea evolves and the site gets better, the business plan gets sharper, the technology gets faster.

This type of creative collaboration is why I jambl. It is also why I hope you find the site to be interesting in the event that you are still alive when it goes live (that was a joke kids). Here’s to jambling, the new thinking of creative minds!
