But, hard work and perseverance without creativity is called grinding. This will pay off sometimes, but I agree that adding creativity in the manner John suggests will improve results dramatically. Whenever you find that grinding has just become a grind, go for a hike or a run and clear your mind. Then get back to work, but instead of grinding some more spend your time thinking of creative ways to get results. This will likely make all the difference.

I've always said that it's about showing people/companies the benefits in everything you do or propose. Once they see how they will gain from whatever it is you have to offer, their levels of interest increase. John, you’re so right.

Not many people with loads of talent and no drive do. I do aggree with your point though in general i just think often hard work seems to get some people along way supprisingly sometimes. I suppose what i'm saying is a differnt angle and probable doens't really cross with what your saying. yea i see what the point is but i see so may people who are creative and hardworking with out talent that make it.

I would say though that instead of "Talent, married with creativity, however, is how you get out of the cheap seats." "Talent, married with hardwork/perseverance, however, is how you get out of the cheap seats." I don’t disagree with you that talent isn’t enough most of the time.
