    Can creativity be learned?

    @Raoul Duke Thanks for the videos! @AndrewNC I see what you're saying. Hmmm, I guess I've had a few ideas. The problem is that I'm a detail oriented, routine, inside the box thinker. I'm now convinced it can be learned, it's just a matter of sharpening my skills within a few weeks so I don't...

I think of the quote "Ask people what they want and they'll say a better horse. Instead give them a car." Something like that. :P I also think of the "first...

    Can creativity be learned?

    I'm familiar with the fact that innovation can simply be taking ideas from other industries/competitors. However, the really creative people that are coming up with brand new solutions seem to have the most successful businesses. This is ideally how I'd like to be, but I'm not naturally...

    I think I actually do remember reading that, although I meant more along the lines of time. He still started from the beginning with Zappos and a baby, if I'm correct. Maybe he just used that money to hire a babysitter. ;)

    An alternative solution to Elance?

    Definitely has potential. You should check out www.ziptask.com which is new. That might give you ideas on quality and stuff. Edit: I think it's just for outsourcing to other countries by the way, but still.

    Interesting how Steve Jobs says, "You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new." Darn, what are we supposed to do then?

    Is it really THAT hard? Can I do it?

    EXECUTION 
    I hope I don't stir up a controversy here but I came in here thinking the same thing. I was like, "how can anyone live on only ramen for years and still function??" Now that I'm actually 3 months into a startup, I still think it IS possible to overwork yourself. "There's always more work that...

    Ok, is anyone else wondering why these people are on a business website in the first place? Shouldn't they be on Facebook playing Farmville or something? (sorry if any of you play Farmville. ;P)
