If there’s one skill every entrepreneur needs in one form or another, it’s creativity.
Think about the most successful entrepreneurs you know and they are the ones who dare to do things differently, who innovate or who simply do things their own way.
I’ve heard far too many people tell me that they don’t have a creative bone in their bodies and/or they used to love creating but some teacher/life/a perceived failure knocked it out of them.
Thing is, we’re all creative in our own ways and some of the most creative creatures on earth are little kids…because they haven’t yet bought into any of the lies life tells us.
So to spark or rekindle your creativity, I’m sharing resources that will have you creating faster than you can say ‘who me?’…
