Reviews
'Best book on creativity -- by far. I have taught entrepreneurship and advised entrepreneurs for 25 years. At the core of what entrepreneurs do and what motivates them is creativity. Everyone says that, and frankly, no one defines it clearly, makes it specific, and helps entrepreneurs become creative. Until now.
This book defines the process of creativity, makes the implementation of it practical and gives specific guidance for anyone looking to find and amplify their creativity and put it to work. Blondin understands that creativity is at the core of who we are and, in a very supportive manner, takes her readers from a state of frustration to a state of creativity.
The book explains the various aspects of creativity but then, with comprehensive and specific guidance, takes them through their own processes of becoming creative. The Creative Struggle is Real includes simple, relevant, and compelling tools that take the reader through this process to find and harness their creativity.'
