A creative is someone who typically creates content as part of their gig &#8211; art, videos, stories, writing, performances, etc.  Non-creatives typically don&#8217;t.  That&#8217;s it.  We won&#8217;t get into the whole &#8220;dual-brained&#8221; thing I pontificate on all the time and muck things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The creative special power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a finance person*, you probably won&#8217;t spend hours just making pivot tables for the heck of it and go &#8220;ooh, cool.&#8221;  Creative people, however, sometimes do things start to finish because they want to see how it turns out.  They want to see how it looks.  Sometimes they make a thing because it&#8217;s in their brain and they want to see it in real life<em> because they want to<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To others this could seem like a huge waste of time, or a flight of fancy.  Maybe it is, but for the creative it&#8217;s a way to experiment with sculptures, textures, story ideas, plot elements, video effects&#8230;  It&#8217;s a substantial investment of&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time Energy and Resources\u2122<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To have this freedom of investing all three of the elements is the super secret power of a creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Listen for more&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*No disrespect meant to finance people.
