In today’s challenging times only the creative and innovative will find it easier to adapt, survive and thrive. However, this demand for creativity does not come without its share of problems. Typically ‘creative types’ regard the world of business, marketing and profit with suspicion. On the otherhand, traditional business people often have misconceptions about what creativity really means and how it can be applied in a very affordable, practical and profitable sense. In the meantime, the clock ticks on and opportunities are clasped by those who know and do better.
This is why Creativity and Sense Consulting is launching a series of training events to help professionals and business people navigate the times. The ‘Creative Business Sense’ series of events are perfect for people in the early years of starting up a business as well as more established entrepreneurs who are ready to distinguish their businesses, engage better with their audience and achieve growth goals. Created specifically for people in the creative and service delivery industries who are fed up of spending a fortune on marketing with little or nothing to show for it, these ‘Creative Business Sense’ series of events will marry the much-needed creative mindset with the essential business skills for our digital age.
These events are also created with affordability and flexibility in mind. ‘Creative Business Sense - Live’ will be available in select locations in the UK, whilst ‘Creative Business Sense – Online’ will be accessible to a global audience – thanks to internet technology and the growing popularity of online business training.
According to Ogo Ogbata, Founder and Director at Creativity and Sense Consulting, “Creativity and business sense must go hand in hand in order for today’s professionals and entrepreneurs to maximise their potential. It is this belief that inspires all the work we do and, in particular, this brand new series of events.”

Top Tips for Inspiring Creativity in Business!
TIP # 31: PERSONALISE YOUR BRAND.
In today’s competitive business terrain, it goes without saying that you need to distinguish your business. Not only will this help you stand out from the competition, it will make you more attractive to potential customers, collaborators and even the media. There are so many different ways to go about distinguishing your business (and we will explore these further on the blog) but the key thing you must realise is that YOU are what drives your business. Your ideas, vision, passion and character leave footprints every step you take and shape the partnerships and collaborations you create. So, if this is happening anyway, then would it not be more productive if you stop hiding behind your business and ‘personalise your brand’? Remember, people like people who are just like them. For starters, are you (and your team) visible enough on your website and social media platforms? Don’t be shy and don’t ‘over-share’. Just reveal, when relevant, more of the unique person that you are.

TIP # 30: GIVE BACK.
In 1999 computer expert, Bill Gates, shocked the world when he gave $1,000,000 to his favourite charity and has since donated over $28 billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Billionaire talk show hostess, Oprah Winfrey, is also famed for her reckless generosity. How ironic that people work so hard to create wealth only to realise, if wise, that we don’t need the baggage.
It’s easy to think “they’re rich, let ‘em give.” But it’s not about the quantity that’s given. We can all make sacrifices to better our world. And honestly, what is the alternative? Naked we came into this world and naked we will go from it. As you create success (big or small), give thought to the many ways that you can give back. You don’t necessarily have to splash the cash. Give your time, your ideas, a smile or some words of encouragement. This will inspire others and recharge your creative batteries. Create change by giving back. You can’t afford not to.

TIP # 29: DEFINE SUCCESS.
Tall and handsome, curly haired, chocolate toned, elegant, intelligent, hardworking, kind… Consciously or subconsciously, most people create a mental picture of their ideal life partner. That’s how they can tell as soon as they meet ‘the one’. Similarly you should define what success means to you. If you never do, how will you know when you attain it? For some people, success may mean a certain amount of income, a particular social status, public recognition or the ability to help the less fortunate. What exactly are you aiming for? What does it look like and how will you know when you get there? You plan to get there, don’t you?

TIP # 28: STAY FOCUSED.
The difference between those who achieve their goals and those who fall to the wayside is the ability to stay focused. Keep your eye on the ball despite the difficulties you encounter. Easier said than done, I know. But you can make this feat achievable by keeping a record of your accomplishments both great and small (referring to such records during the difficult times) as well as reminding yourself why it is so important to achieve your desired goal. What’s your inspiration? Family, money or world peace? Focus on it, whatever it is.
