Willie Nelson and The Power of Creative Content
A few days ago, I began reading a book called Keep Going by Austin Kleon.
On the very first page, Kleon shares a quote from Willie Nelson. The quote keeps rattling around in my brain:Ā
“I think I need to keep being creative, not to prove anything but because
it makes me happy just to do it… I think trying to be creative, keeping
busy, has a lot to do with keeping you alive.”
Wow! I love that.
The best business stories deliver important, relevant ideas in an entertaining, CREATIVE way.
I talk a lot about the power of creative content — how it captivates prospects and inspires them to act.
But it’s not just about prospects.
It’s about YOU, the content creator.Ā
When we dish out the same oldĀ blah-blah-blahĀ content, it feels like work.
It’s drudgery.
It’s hard.
It’s dull…
…for us to create and for prospects to consume.
But when we’re creative, it’s fun.
It’s fulfilling.
It gets us going.
It reminds us what makes us human.
It keeps us alive.
What do you think? (Reply and let me know.)
