Episode Summary

In this episode of BrandBucket Academy, host Firas talks with Margot Bushnaq, founder and CEO of BrandBucket, about how to come up with a business idea—even if you think you’re not creative. They explore what creativity really means in entrepreneurship, how to overcome mental blocks, and why great ideas often start small. From identifying opportunities in your daily life to building ideas that reflect who you are, this episode is about finding clarity, confidence, and momentum in your creative process.

Key Takeaways:

1. Creativity is not about inventing something new—it’s about seeing what already exists from a fresh perspective.
2. Don’t aim for the final product; start with solving one real problem. Growth happens organically.
3. Inspiration comes from observation. Pay attention to frustrations, inefficiencies, and small patterns in daily life.
4. Let go of perfectionism—an idea doesn’t have to be complete to be valuable.
5. The best business ideas evolve as you do; allow your vision to expand naturally.
