Creativity = Money ?

Has making a few videos here and there ever made you millions of dollars? The obvious answer is no. Well… usually. For 23 year old Jamal Edwards, YouTube videos have made him a fortune, literally. The question here is… does creativity always lead to returns?
Some people would think that if you have a brilliant idea, it will lead to success.

However, this is not always the case. For Jamal, entrepreneurship is a key quality, which plays a huge part in the development, and final execution of an idea. After all, ideas can stem from any part of our daily lives, but what makes them worthwhile in a business sense, is when they are planned and carried out with a clear strategic direction. Nonetheless, you have to find your talent and then pursue it like no other. And that means working hard all around – constant ideas, passion, and open-mindedness. All of these are the pillars of becoming a successful entrepreneur. In fact, Jamal incorporates all of those qualities into his work.

The key message here is – when you have a great idea, pair it up with hard work, fantastic execution, and entrepreneurship skills. That is when success is achieved.
