The following is an excerpt from my most popular blog post, The 5 Traits You Must Develop To Become A Profitable Creativepreneur.

1. Imaginative

To be imaginative is to be inventive.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Albert Einstein – German mathematician, physicist & Nobel laureate

You are imaginative if you like thinking outside of the box, playing with possibilities, and remixing existing ideas and concepts from unrelated fields into something new and unique.

Develop your imagination by:

• Explore new creative mediums
• Learn new skills
• Listen to new music
• Read books
• Write
• Play

Challenge one:

Use your imagination to envision three creative business ideas that would allow you to profit from all of your various interests, skills, and talents.

Good ideas don't have to be complicated
The greatest ideas are the simplest
Decide what to leave out
Keep it simple

The above text is an excerpt from one of my original posts entitled, Simple Truths.

I want to introduce you to my newest virtual mentor, Daniel M. Pallotta, an American entrepreneur, author, and humanitarian activist.

His iconic TED 2013 Talk has been viewed more than 3.6 million times and is the 15th most-commented TED Talk of all time.*

Dan Pallotta is the embodiment of authenticity, integrity, courage, and higher calling. He is a role model for anyone who wants to embark on the adventure of personal and societal transformation.

Dan invented the multi-day charitable event industry with the AIDSRides and Breast Cancer 3-Days, which inspired nearly a quarter of a million people to raise more than half a billion dollars in nine years.**

I hope to follow in Dan's footsteps to raise at least $10,000,000 for Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund, through my soon-to-be-released artistic charity project, Colors Against Hate.
