We live in a culture that rewards creativity and innovation for the purpose of consumption and profit.

The economics of capitalism tells us we are creating value only when there is an economic gain tied to that creation.  And in part, this what encourages folks to turn something they love doing, something they love CREATING into a side hustle or a business.  This is when folks are told do something you love and you will never work a day in your life.  

 

Well this is the type of creativity we are NOT talking about on today's episode.  

We are not talking about monetizing your creations.

We are not talking about creativity for the purpose of consumption. 

 

Today on the podcast I am talking about creativity that is just FOR YOU. Creation done simply for the joy of it. It may require going back to a time when you didn't have responsibilities, and seeing what you use to do that felt good.  This is the time to get introspective.

 

Join us on today’s podcast to learn why it’s so important we make this commitment to ourselves.
