Creativity is the process of generating fresh, original ideas and solutions. It involves rethinking and blending existing concepts in innovative ways to create something unique and valuable.

Entrepreneurship is the act of identifying a need or pain point and creating solutions to address it, ultimately building and growing a business or venture. It involves assembling resources to bring these creative ideas to market.

While both creativity and entrepreneurship focus on creating value, the key difference lies in their application. Entrepreneurship is about bringing those ideas to life and delivering them to the market.

• Business as College Football: Your business is like a college football team, and the offensive coordinator drive a big part of your success. A strong offensive coordinator leads to wins, while a mediocre one keeps you stuck in safe, slow strategies. Perhaps you enjoy running out the clock and having your punter as your star. If my son was a punter, I would send him to Iowa.

• Fractional CMO Opportunity: Bringing in a Chief Revenue Officer is like hiring a top offensive coordinator—why not explore it? Is fear holding you back from taking risks and scoring big? Nowadays you can hire one by the hour or for a short stint to bring a proven offensive scheme that has a history of 10 x growth.

• Current Approach: If your strategy is "three yards and a cloud of dust," relying on defense alone, you're missing out on the potential to truly grow. Fear is practical and logical and even safe just not inspirational. One coach was known to preach you either get better or you get worse, you cannot stay the same.

• Small Investment, Big Payoff: Spend just 30 minutes interviewing a fractional CRO. It's a low-risk way to potentially unlock your marketing power and light up your offense.

• Strategic Focus: Prioritize strategy, then execute. A customer-obsessed approach, combined with educational promotion, will build trust and lead to impactful results.

• Attention as Currency: In today's world, attention is key. Like a well-designed offensive scheme, the right marketing strategy gets your playmakers in the spotlight and drives success.
