Best-Selling Author Susan Sly explores what it means to think outside the box and whether or not that is the right answer for business confidence and success.

Scottsdale, Az. — March 2, 2015 — Best-selling author, speaker, and entrepreneur Susan Sly recently published a new article, “Learn to Think Outside the Box? Why Not Throw Away the Box to Be More Confident and Successful?” In the article, Susan explains what others most often mean when they say to ‘think outside the box’ and how expecting this type of approach to problem solving in business can actually hinder confidence and effectiveness.

Susan elaborates, “Just the words – ‘inside the box’ – can evoke panicky thoughts for many. Yet, for some, considering ‘outside the box’ is a scary and frightening. It can imply going ‘out there’ where it’s unknown and where you’re kind of on your own. Neither option – inside the box or outside the box – evokes empowering subconscious imagery.”

She then goes on to describe an alternate scenario whereby the reader will “…throw the box away.”

As Susan says, “Living an authentic life and running an authentic business is doing what is true for you and yourself or your business because it’s what is best and for no other reason. It’s about taking chances when you believe there is a good reason and it’s about playing it safe because it’s the right thing to do at the time. It’s not born out of fear or recklessness.  …It’s never too late to take the box and just throw it away! Then, just watch and see what happens—how amazing and exciting your personal and professional life without the box can be!”
