“Is creativity the Secret to
winning Career Promotions?”
· 1. Mike: “I see that look in your eye. You want to educate me like I
don’t get enough in school all day.”
· 2. Me: “Kid I got a lot to do, but making sure you never come back to
live in my house After you graduate college is in the top-ten on my
goals.”
· 3. Mike: “Will it be about politics which I hate or culture which is
Boring? Wait. Will it help me win hot-girls or make me a ton of money?”
· 4. Me: “If you are bored, raise your right hand, and you go your way, and
I’ll…”
· 5. Mike: “I like that thing you said about, “even a broken clock is right
twice-a-day.” Tell me something.”
· 6. Me: “There a lot of secrets to success in relationships, school &
at-work. One Secret talent works in All of them.
You can learn it. And it’s easy, and
quick. Interested?”
· 7. Mike: “Tell me and promise it’s not going to hurt my head.”
· 8. Me: “Creativity”. If you are
not creative, that means
you are a Drone, a Robot, and never
will be a Leader or make serious Money. That’s how powerful being CREATIVE is.”
· 9. Mike: “I just Googled create and creative. It means something produced from your Imagination. It’s a
different kind of “Thought”, and is “Original’.”
· 10. Me: “Create and Creative come from Latin meaning to Make. Cousin
Albert (Einstein) said, “Intuition (being creative) is the most important thing
in your brain.”
· I say Creativity is the same as Insight-Inspiration-Intuition & an
Epiphany, a Revelation. The secret is making it happen.”
· 11. Mike: “Cut to the chase. How?”
· 12. Me: Two steps: use your consciousness (Left- Brain) to do all the
research on what you want to create
& be creative about. Google it.
· Subconsciousness. Use your Right-Brain to remember past experiences,
patterns you recognize, and Emotionalize it. Give your own personality’s Twist.
· What does this new thing you want to write about, draw a picture of, or
INVENT bring to mind? Relax & let Mental-Movies Create (make it happen).”
· 13. Mike: “Not too clear. How to I instantly pop out my creativity in
writing a song, a story, or asking for and getting a date with a hot-girl.”
· 14. Me: “Nobody knows. But we do know it come easily and fast when you
let your Right-Brain lead the way. It is about your Attitude, Mood, Beliefs,
& expectations.
· Best research on creativity is by Professor Martinsen at BI Norwegian
Business School, 4.02.2013. He created a list of list of 7-personality-traits
that creative folks have.
· 15. Mike: “I need something I can remember, not 7. Pop, be creative.”
· 16. Me: “If you understand and have these 2-traits, you will be creative
and win all-the-marbles. One: “Flexibility:
See different aspects of the issues
& ideas, not just the one YOU like.
Don’t be afraid to be wrong.
Trial-and-Error produces the “feedback” to be creative. Be your own editor.
· 17. Mike: “What the other trait?”
· 18. Me: It’s called “Association”. You let your right-brain link
(combine) ideas together that are weird, ridiculous, humorous, and Unnatural.
Can you imagine a Horse sleeping in your bed? Think ‘science-fiction’,
& wing it.”
· Professor Martinsen recommended you experience negative emotions.
Let you Moods fluctuate. Don’t have or use
a lot of self-confidence. Creativity is a FLOW state.”
· 19. Mike: “I like the be weird stuff. What else?”
· 20. Me: “Do you remember the neurotransmitter (brain hormone) Dopamine?
Good. It is called the “Pleasure” (feel-good) hormone. When creativity is
Flowing, you get doses of Dopamine in your brain. You feel good and have fun. You
want to keep doing it.”
· 21. Mike: “Pop, what do you want me to Take-Away about how to make
Creativity work for me?”
· 22. Me: “Mike, step one, if you meditate for five-minutes before you
begin your creative activity, you improve your Mindset, Mood, & Attitude.
Sit down, close your eyes, & relax.
· Step two: Four Diaphragmatic breaths and on exhaling, chant “Hum-m,
Hum-m, Hum-m, & Hum-m on each breath.
· Step three: Intend a SMILE on your face for 18-seconds at a time. It
activates your right-brain.
· Step four: let you imagination,
mental-pictures go where they want. Follow the pictures for CUES & hints
about your area of interest. Pay attention, but let it flow by itself. You are
creative, and it will be there for you.”
See ya,
