Five Ingredients to Creative Success

After years of working with and interviewing people on the creative journey, I have come up with five ingredients to creative success, and if you become master of these, your creative spirit will take flight, it will nurture and free you.

Successful creators are:

1. Passionate about their work
2. Risk takers
3. Technical experts at their craft
4. Comfortable with failure, do not see failure as failure and know how to get the job done
5. Different, weird and like it!

I came up with these 5 ingredients many years ago after interviewing about 30 people from artists, writers, directors, mathematicians to scientists.
Glad you like them.
