How Do You Think Outside the Box?

My friend Greg is a dentist. Yet, he attends Gnomedex every year. You might be wondering why he would do that. After all, it’s a conference about technology, social media, and Human Circuitry. Greg says that the answer is simple: Gnomedex has at provided him the grounds for inspiration to act outside of his profession… and to think outside of the box. He’s always loved technology, and recognizes how it intersects with any type of business – including your local dentist!

How do you think outside of your box? Do you even bother? What helps push you past your own “limits” and expectations of yourself? I’m interested in hearing what it is that helps you push yourself to do more.
