How to Release Your Dormant Creative Genius
Leslie’s Beginnings
- Growing up, she was raised by her parents to be thrifty.
- She took on odd jobs during childhood to earn more money.
- Her parents taught her the value of self-reliance, which she uses continuously throughout her career.
- Watching her parents struggle taught her the value of the daily grind.
- She never lost her work ethic, even as she shifted from design and marketing to mentorships and teaching.
- She was a newspaper girl during her college years.
- With portfolios in advertising and graphic design, she took on various freelancing advertising jobs.
Embracing New Technology
- When the first Mac computer came out, she bought a unit and became experienced at this technology forefront.
- By embracing new technologies, she was able to remain competitive within her line of work.
Long-Term Planning
- Creative work needs self-direction, discipline, and proper time management.
- It’s easy to forget long-term planning when working on massive projects, but you need to keep finding projects so that your income stream doesn’t end with your current project.
Continuous Learning
- Her experience with technology was a constant learning curve, so she always had to learn how to adapt to new tools.
- While she had very competitive technical skills, she soon found out that she also needs to work on her sales skills.
Useful Habits to Release Your Dormant Creative Genius
- You need strong time management skills to handle complex projects with multiple clients.
- You also need to understand what your clients need and to take their perspective on the problem.
The Importance of Advertising
- Many businesses fail to devote enough attention to advertising efforts.
- Even the best ideas won’t translate to profit if people are unaware of what you have to offer.
- Leslie’s experience with helping a talented jeweller’s business take off proves that great products and services must be coupled with effective advertising.
How Different Companies Run Campaigns
- She notices that small companies tend to move fast, focusing on the speed of executing a plan.
- On the other hand, large corporations acted slower, and she had to put more effort into communicating with the different departments of the corporation.
- However, large companies had the capital and willpower to run more massive and more extensive campaigns.
Pursuing Big Clients
- The most effective method to learn is to immerse yourself in the challenging stuff right away.
- Leslie once took an enormous job with an art director who later became an editor for a prominent magazine.
- Working with big clients can be intimidating, but it will help you improve your game.
Pushing Through Setbacks
- When her father died, she discovered the therapeutic value of painting.
- Her journey of healing took her through nine months of painting and writing a novella.
- She learned about intention, creativity, and healing, and she now uses her newfound knowledge to help struggling creatives.
- It’s normal for creative output to falter while you’re struggling, as long as you never give up.
The Future of the Creative Industry
- The world tends to focus too much on the external indicators of success, which puts people under pressure.
- Creative entrepreneurs are a blessing to the industry and will help the country move forward.
- Hence, we need to work on ourselves internally so that we can use our talents to help the world.

Too good to miss! I was listening to the episode with Daryl Urbanski & Jermaine Griggs in my office yesterday.
