We were born that way and it's the one unique thing that separates us from any other species on this planet. Think about the first thing a baby or toddler does while armed with a paintbrush and a blank piece of paper - they create something out of nothing. As we grow older, for whatever reason, most of us lose our creativeness and fall into the trap of believing that we can't be creative. I passionately believe that everything we do in life is an 'object of creativity'.

This book is a brilliant case in point and highlights that even a bookkeeper can be creative - who would have thought...?!

This beautifully written book takes the reader on a unique journey and provides practical insights that will help any business of any size and shape. It blends the importance of being (and staying) creative with good solid business acumen.

For me, I believe having a burning passion for what you do is so vitally important and helps me jump out of bed each morning and do what I do. This brilliant book helped me take a step back from my own business and industry, reflect and sharpen my passion and creativity to be more business focused.

This book is a testament to where passion, creativity and sound business skills can take you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
