Success is rooted in the confidence and persistence you have in knowing that with enough creative attention, focus, and effort, sooner or later you'll solve your creative challenge.
Three simple ways to gain creative persistence:
1. Create Success Footprints: Identify the characteristics / elements of the successful idea.
2. Redefine your 'impossible' challenge.
3. Publicly commit to the success: add pressure and commitment.
For example: Thomas Edison told the world he would invent a new incandescent light in a week. It took a year, but he had to solve it.
