Creativity Tips: Luck of the Irish and Everyone Else

Creative people get lucky. (Stop it.)

I'll start again. There are times when I can't find the right word for an ad or brochure or poem. I can struggle with it for hours. Then, I'll be driving down the highway, and see the perfect word -- the perfect word -- on a billboard.

It's pure luck. And being open to it.

This week, be receptive to all the luck that surrounds us. Appreciate it. Get lucky.
