Procrastination

Creative survey results
This is based on survey results, in which the participants were divided into three groups and asked to generate a new business idea. Business ideas are later assessed by the independent side of usability and creativity.

Did you know that the Mona Lisa painting was done by Leonardo da Vinci for 16 years?
Fear and Doubt
Although it appears confident, creative people are also filled with doubts and fears. With regard to creativity, there are two types of doubt: self-doubt and doubt about ideas. Self-doubt weakens, makes us stop and give up. Hesitant to the idea of encouraging, motivating to experiment and improve.
Creative people fear failure but more afraid not to try. Creative people know that regrets are not caused by their actions, but arise in the absence of action. For example, a failed business is a bankrupt business or a business that has never been realized.
Many Produce Bad Ideas
The classic composer masterpiece chart
Creative people are not afraid of negative judgments due to bad ideas they create. The creative person is the one who tries the most, and therefore is definitely proportional to the number of failures. This is in line with the masterpiece produced by the composers of chamber music. Bach, Beethoven and Mozart produce hundreds of musical compositions where some of them become masterpieces that are remembered all the time.
Another example is Thomas Alfa Edison. Everyone knows him as a light bulb inventor. Rarely people know about his work (which failed) the talking doll. With a scary face, let alone for children, adults are afraid.
CONCLUSION
The level of success of creative people
Creativity is the opposite of productivity. Creative people do not take it for granted, they take the initiative to look for better choices. Creative people tend to be slow to get started.
The creative idea is a different and better idea than the previous idea. Successful creative ideas do not always belong to the pioneers (First Movers). That is why, although not being the first person, the success rate of the Improvers is higher than the pioneer creators. Then the question is do you have the characteristics of the creative person as mentioned above?
