Every creative journey begins with a spark—an idea, an image, or a question that won’t let go. Turning that spark into something real takes more than talent; it takes an entrepreneurial mindset built on curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to experiment. In Think Like a Creative Entrepreneur, you’ll learn how imagination becomes action by exploring how design thinking and creative problem-solving fuel new opportunities.
