tailieunhanh - Freedom, Money, Time and the Key to Creative Success

A creative person needs three things to be happy: 1. Freedom — to do what you want, when you want and how you want it. Not just in holidays and spare time — but also doing meaningful work, in your own way. 2. Money — to maintain your independence and fund your creative projects. Of course you want a nice place to live, but you’re not so worried about a bigger car than the guy next door. You’d rather spend money on experiences than status symbols. | Intent action Freedom Money Time and the Key to Creative Success @MarkMcGuinness by Mark McGuinness Feel free to share this ebook with anyone who you think would be interested.

The Basic Problem A creative person needs three things to be happy 1. Freedom to do what you want when you want and how you want it. Not just in holidays and spare time but also doing meaningful work in your own way. 2. Money to maintain your independence and fund your creative projects. Of course you want a nice place to live but you re not so worried about a bigger car than the guy next door. You d rather spend money on experiences than status symbols. 3. Time to spend as you please exploring the world and allowing your mind to wander in search of new ideas. Usually you re lucky if you get two out of the three. But if one of them is missing it compromises the other two. Without money you don t have much freedom because you have to spend your time chasing cash. Without time off money doesn t buy you a lot of freedom. And if you re doing something you hate for a living it doesn t matter how big your salary is or how much holiday you get. You still feel trapped.
