Why do you think you are a creative person? Please elaborate

You heard a lot about entrepreneurship in last night’s class. Now, go find an entrepreneur and interview them.

Find someone who has taken a risk and started their own business from the bottom up for your interview. 

Please read this ENTIRE assignment before contacting your entrepreneur. YOU may not interview a student from any university, so please don’t ask me if you can. I’ll just say no.

For this assignment, you are going to do two things: 

1. Find a professional entrepreneur and, asking the questions below, interview them about the role creativity has taken in their work. Mark this section as “Them.”
2. Think about their answer and then explain how their response might apply to you in your life. Mark this section as, “Me.”

1) I’ve made this simple: YOU MUST ask your entrepreneur the four questions listed below.  Beyond these four questions, you are welcome to ask them others for your own knowledge and curiosity, but the assignment only requires that you submit responses for the four questions below.

Before you interview your professional, you will need to explain to them what you mean by “creativity,” so read or send them this text:

“Creative thinking is “thinking differently” in order to solve difficult problems or challenges. “It’s the the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.” —Dictionary.com

THE FOUR QUESTIONS:

1. Why do you think you are a creative person? Please elaborate.
2. In what ways have you employed creative thinking in your work? Please be specific and give examples. 
3. Please explain your creative process. For example, are there techniques or steps you use to solve problems, to think differently, more creatively?
4. Not all ideas and efforts can be successful, so how do you feel about the role of failure in what you do? Please elaborate and give examples.

Please precede each response with its question. 

2) Below your entrepreneur’s answer I want you to explain how their response applies to you. So under each question you will have two parts:

1. Their answer. Precede their response with [Them]
2. Your personal thoughts about their answer and how it applies to your life (mark this section as [Me]
