Great post. Creativity is really about creating as you, not for you. Creating for you is about being more concerned about the payoff than being true to your vision. Having the courage to express who you truly are makes for outstanding blogs. The same for business, if you really follow what excites and expresses you, you'll create a standout product or service. The key is to keep on creating and expressing as you. Thanks John. Great post. Creativity is really about creating as you, not for you.

Believe it or not, in my case, people remembered who I was because I offered to share a few pieces of homemade chocolate cake. Well, they say branding should appeal to the senses and emotions, right?

I have a client meeting coming up, and I'm going to try it out. As someone said in a movie I saw recently, "A life lived in fear is a life half-lived." Great tip, John.

I think it can be the fear of restricting oneself to a small niche initially that can stop people defining one, which will make them stand out. Applying "what's the worse that can happen if" question when the fear kicks in can often help move things on. Far easier to be individual and yourself than to emulate others at the end of the day. Thanks for all your tips and advice. Great post John and fitting for where I’m currently at!
