Need a Breakthrough? Find the Right Balance of Creative and Strategic Thinking

Giving rein to our creative individuality will set us apart and help us stand out in the vast sea of content. But we also want to be purposeful and strategic about how we’re spending our time. Stefanie Flaxman started us off by talking about how damaging rigidity can be to creative work (like writing, marketing, or running a business). She turns “my way or the highway” to: “My way, or we could take the scenic route. Let’s open ourselves up to the best option.” Check out her post to help you find more creative flexibility — while staying true to your vision and important goals. On Tuesday, Sean Jackson, CFO and one of our founding partners at Copyblogger Media, dropped by to talk about some of the lessons he’s learned from running his first Kickstarter campaign. From budgeting to time management to thoughts on getting all of that video produced, Sean shares his most valuable insights and tips. And on Wednesday, I wrote about making the decision to bring in a strong professional writer — even if you already feel good about your own writing ability. Strong writing can be a significant investment, and this post will help you know you’re making that investment for the right reasons. These are great tools for strategic and creative thinkers to plan and develop projects.
