 We are all wired differently.

Instead of focusing on the “coding” or more specifically the “what” to be creative in, focus on:

1. Being creative (the process itself)
2. Adding (creating) value

Another way to solve for this would be to deploy Jim Collin’s Hedgehog Concept

Are you familiar with that?

(If not it’s basically a ven diagram)

A. What can I be the best in my world at? (in your own words, People and I’d add, thus Relationships)

B. What are you deeply passionate about?

C. What drives your economic engine?

Answer those and you’ll probably find it isn’t coding! So don’t force a square object into a round hole.

Align yourself with the above and you will see the value creation flow.
