how important is creativity in being a business owner

>>1986494
Creativity is a myth. Most artists work along very restrictive formal guidelines, the notion of spontaneous inspiration revealing genius-novelty is a idea that emerged in the 19th century and has desecrated the arts ever since.
The easiest way to be an artist and therefore creative is to always be researching and practicing your medium.

So, how does this apply to business? It means being constantly informed, questioning current logic. What I'm saying is you can seek novel and original solutions to problems by still using the analytical parts of your mind.
Oh and learning an instrument, a second language, or having a mentally stimulating hobby that introduces you to alien concepts allows a lot of conceptual cross-pollination. Suddenly you start to see how a process used in the toothpaste manufacture can be used in tomato paste manufacture, or road car aerodynamics and the hull of a ferry.

No creativity is required to OWN a business.

If you plan on starting and running a business you need a fair bit. I'd rate it a 38 on the McDonaldson Scale of Creativity Importance in Your Prospective Career, or the MDSCIYPC for short.

How much creativity would you say you have, using the Unified Creativity Metric and Aptitude Test? (what's your UCMAT score?)

>its the english language as it pertains to financial proprietary law
So you're right and the IRS, US Census Bureau, and Gallup Polls are all wrong?

im not sure if you are stupid , or just lonely.


ok, so you're probably both. not a good look for you.

please dont say any more dumb stuff to me.

just go read , or go for a walk .

>>1986642
I think you might be drunk tonight.

like I said:
53% of americans own stocks
64% of americans own houses
13% of americans own businesses.

owning stocks or houses doesn't make you a business owner according to the US government and pretty much everyone else in America.

Most people realize that owning a stock means buying a percentage of ownership in the company, but many new investors have misconceptions about the benefits and responsibilities of being a shareholder. Many of these misconceptions stem from a lack of understanding of the amount of ownership that each stock represents. For large companies such as IBM (NYSE:IBM) and General Electric (NYSE:GE), one share is merely a drop in the pond. Even if you owned $1 million worth of shares, you'll still be a small potato with very little equity in the actual company. So what does this mean? Let's take a look.

>Most people realize that owning a stock means buying a percentage of ownership in the company
Yet the US Census Bureau, IRS, SBA, and Gallup Polls don't consider stock owners to be business owners.

You're shitting yourself in public again.

Isn't it strange how every time I find someone saying stupid and wrong things it's always you?

maybe you should keep your stupid mouth shut and I won't have to prove you wrong every day.

you'll have to quote me the part that says anyone that buys a stock is a business owner.

I didn't see that in any of them.
