Fractal Thinking is a term I use to describe a way of looking at the world. You see, the world lays itself out fractally, so it makes sense to align our thinking to be fractal.
When we do so, we go with the flow.
This way of viewing the world is unnatural for most of us. In our modern day, we have a more linear view of reality. For me, when the fractal concept clicked, I never looked at the world the same again.
But is Fractal Thinking useful? Can it help us? Absolutely.
Fractal Thinking can help you solve thorny problems and reveal opportunities you previously missed. This should come as no surprise as our biggest breakthroughs typically follow shining a light on our blind spots, and that's what Fractal Thinking does.
While anyone can benefit from Fractal Thinking, it's especially beneficial to businesses. The concept can be of tremendous help to business owners, entrepreneurs, and creators. These are people who need creative solutions to complex challenges, and that's where Fractal Thinking can assist mightily.
