What Is A Creative Entrepreneur?

It seems like overnight everybody and they mama suddenly became business owners and entrepreneurs.That’s cool, but… the problem is when we define creative entrepreneurs…It’s being thrown around too loosely. And while every business owner may be an entrepreneur, not every entrepreneur is a creative entrepreneur...

Creatives are those with certain talents, gifts and abilities, in the realm of the arts who are constantly utilizing those gifts. Now combine that with the determination and strategy it takes to develop a business. That is creative entrepreneurship. That’s it…

Look at it this way, some photographers just like to take photos, while others take photos, turn them into digital prints and start selling them as a full-time business…

Or the chef who goes from cooking in the back of a restaurant to developing his own line of cookware, cookbooks, and sauces to eventually having a successful gourmet food truck franchise….

While providing a solution to a problem, or just starting a business is a form of entrepreneurship, what does it have to do with being creative?

Nothing. The difference is obvious…

Creative entrepreneurship is finding a way to live off real creativity.
