Think of the most memorable brands. They don’t just sell stuff, they spark something. That’s creativity.

Many entrepreneurs get stuck in “practical” thinking, mistaking creativity for being frivolous.

  • Innovation starts with imagination: The next big idea won’t come from staring at spreadsheets.
  • Problem-solving gets a boost: Creative thinking finds solutions the logical brain misses.
  • Stand out in a crowded market: Boring is forgettable. Unique is unforgettable.
  • Adaptability relies on it: Can’t think outside the box? You’ll get trapped as the market shifts.
  • Attract like-minded talent: Creative people want to work in creatively stimulating environments.
  • It’s FUN: Ditching the ‘hustle grind’ mindset makes work more enjoyable, which fuels better work.
