Notes

• As a creator you tend to work very hard to make it big, get a big audience and become successful. But once you've had a **hit** piece, what next? Do you expect the same reach for all the pieces now?
• We associate ourselves with the work we do and take the feedback that we get personally.
• But back in those days, people thought of creativity different.
• This was a clip from Your elusive creative genius which is a TED talk by Elizabith Gilbert. I recommend you watch the full talk. She also wrote this book called Big Magic which is a great read, or listen if you prefer audio books.
• I want to leave you with question on which you can wander upon. How can you be ready for the creative genius so it can come to you?
