The artist's dilemma, you have to earn enough money to live but that eats up the time required to improve your art, so neither get better. It's almost necessary to be well below the poverty line if you expect to have any success in artistic pursuits. That's why I think if your goal is to be some sort of artist, put off having kids.

Don't give up. Marketing is a real pain and distribution, What ever your story themes involved i can guarantee that there will be people who would love your ideas. It's about writing them in the first place , that in itself is an incredibly unlikely event for most people. The persistent, determination to finish them off. Next step is to take the product and refine it for marketability purposes, this is to proof read it and get rid of grammatical errors and see if what you have wrote needs to be reduced if it is to verbose or if it all makes sense from the perspective of the rules governing the society/ laws of physics/ magical realms/ morality or what ever your main themes are. I myself love horror sci fi but no matter what you write there will be people somewhere who are looking for exactly what you are offering. A hard part is finding them or them finding you. Some people love verbose speech/ others prefer more concise phrasing ect. Always remember Stephen King and the nail he put in the wall which ended up getting filled by rejection letters and then he continued anyway. Small chance to make incredible success, yes. Though persistence, determination can go just as far or even further then creativity and talent alone. Think of all the professional sports people who are extremely talented but don't have that extra nous of turning upto to practice everyday, this is when people who don't necessarily have as much talent can catch up or overtake. Not that you aren't talented, but you may need more than that alone and in you actually having finished off some work, that is a sign you could possess determination as well. Keep on keeping on. Also don't let success be the be all and end all of creativity, the process in and of itself, the experience of being engaged in an act of creation is a pretty special thing also. Goodluck.

Listen up. For the people who disagree with Jordan about the definition of creativity , Jordan applies his opinion about people who are aspiring to make their creative endeavours a major part of their life. Not if its just a hobby , thats fine. He says its a high risk deal because creativity is measured (in the consumptional field) for its diversity and usefulness. It is NOT measured by them in the personal field. Therefore do whatever creative thing you like , but BEWARE he says , if you want to take it next level , it must be practical , usefull , and original , and thats is not an easy task and have nothing to do with how you value your art.

So true. Get a job, start a business and when your financially free then invest in your creativity.

I agree with his analysis of creativity as someone who won all school art contests growing up. I stepped back from it for a while because I work and go to school and when I did that it felt like my soul was drying up. I started to draw everyday again and it has completely transformed me, but there is a problem: you open the flood gates and water will pour out. My mind is coming up with so many ideas that I could never possibly do them all unless it was my job, but it is nearly impossible to make money as an artist and difficult to make it as a creator. Your ideas must be useful or hit home an emotional response in the viewer for them to want it and even if you do that, making money is still difficult.

This is straight talk. I wish I had this talk when I was in art school. It would have been really helpful.

I’ve had a piece of art sold. When I was 9, I spent about 3 weeks making a comic of Sonic the Hedgehog. I was really proud of it and wanted to sell it - so I wrote “50p” on the front, took it down the local newsagents and asked if he could include it with the others for sale. He had a chuckle but agreed. I was so anxious and excited I barely slept - and when I went in the next morning he told me it had been sold, and gave me 50p. It was a very proud moment and I was sure I had a future in the arts. Then I learned he had just given it back to my mum. So that was my career peak :D

Dr. Peterson’s advice sounds like it comes out so easily, but it is so sound and so pregnant with wisdom it is so easy to lose how deep it is. In high school I fell in love with photography and cinematography-but the last thing I wanted to become was a broke artist with a degree in the fine arts. So I studied civil engineering, which was definitely more pragmatic than passionate. I always did love math and science as well, but my passion was in the arts. But I continued to “do it on the side” as dr. Peterson said. I began tutoring privately as a college student and it was a wonderful side gig, it was very fulfilling work and good money, and it allowed me to fund my passion for the arts, as lights, lenses and cameras aren’t cheap. I now run a successful math tutoring business and have been going strong for almost 10 years. But I would have never been able to get this far and enjoy my art had it not been for buckling down and getting my engineering degree giving me the knowledge and credibility to serve my students. And truthfully, there’s a lot of creativity in engineering, I like to call it “the art of science” So yes-do it on the side, and be smart and make money elsewhere in a more sustainable and predictable field. And hey, if your art takes off in the process, then jump on that train. But even as a professional artist-you almost invariably end up doing work to pay the bills rather than being passionately involved in every project. I’ve done many weddings, events, corporate, engagement and music video shoots over the years, and the vast majority of the work you get paid to do, you’re not the creative boss, the client is and you don’t get to flex your creative guns, sometimes not even a little. My most fulfilling projects BY FAR have been my passion projects with friends and models I’ve came across over the years or landscape/travel shoots when I go on a trip. And guess what? None of that pays you. Hence, he’s so right-it’s not an easy life as an artist, sure there are pros but there are many cons. The people who consistently make all the money in entertainment? Producers, agents, directors, they’re the conscientious ones...artists are dime a dozen. It’s the sad truth.

As a creative person myself, I say he has the whole thing nailed. I've learned to enjoy being creative purely as a hobby and for the pleasure it brings both to myself and others. Creativity manifests itself in many ways, but I think it's something you are either born with or aren't. It can be harnessed, refined, and molded,but it can't really be taught from scratch. Sure, there's fractals and Golden Ratio and spatial composition etc, but they all mean nothing without an underlying raw talent.

I think one of the things that attracts gamblers is the feeling they get when they win, against all odds. It's like a shallow stand-in for achieving material success in life, almost an admission that the work put towards material gain is a waste as compared to achieving same with a gamble where , for a relatively small sum, a lowly individual is granted one moment for the universe itself, in all its chaotic cruelty, to grant said individual a blessing to raise them out of common misery. Except money don't buy happiness. In the end, unless applied properly, the reward turns out to be nothing more than Turkish Delight. Thank God there's a Creator who understands these things, and who cared enough to come on down here and explain it to us directly.

I love the knowledge he shares - ty for sharing this

I'd be terrified by the prospect of being his student. But I won't resist the opportunity. His students and now the rest of us are blessed by his contributions.

Yes as soon as I was able to fix my health problem and got a full-time job I found it extremely difficult to work on this channel. Everything happens in little pieces now and I'm just about to get something new up after having promised to do so several times in the past few months. And it hurts. Screws with my mental health. Part of me wants to quit the full-time job and accept partial poverty just so I have the time and energy to be creative Here Again full time.

I think the novel thing about his brutal honesty is that instead of potentially causing you to become swamped in negativity, it's like he's confirming to you he understands that it's difficult, but also wants you to keep being who you are.

13:55 helped me to understand people. Thank you, Jordan.

So to conclude: not only am I not creative, meaning my possibilities as an artist are shit anyways (which I kinda already knew) but I'm propably also dumber than I thought I am

I'm one of the guys out there, who are potentially creative, I'm really interested in every damn thing and it's very hard to find what to do in life, I'm trying to focus on one thing and starting a business, hopefully I won't fail, I'll try to be squared as possible! And I want to say I absolutely love this guy... I'm from North Africa Algeria. Greetings to all of you hopefully you guys will find ur path and succeed !

Making the world creative seems like a worthy life goal According to this lecture, it could be a goal with exponential success, as people work together to achieve

I’ve thought a lot about what makes the difference between creative and non creative people on the “lower level of Operation” of the brain. I find that the fundamental difference is that creative people keep multiple threads of thought. Non creatives only keep one and try to symplify it by subconsciously neglecting possible connections to other thought objects. Creatives nourish every eventual path to other thought objects and try to investigate it. that’s why creatives are often depressed, because every such path of thought means a burned bit of serotonin and dopamine. creatives simply burn more than is available in normal food. That’s where dietary supplements such as l-tryptophan come very handy.

I am 26 years old, I feel like I am living at only a fraction of what I could be. Most of my adult life has been spent procrastinating and barely getting by. I've turned down/blew so many chances to make something of myself. I know that I can do anything I set my mind to, I know I am capable of anything, but Instead I do nothing. I would give anything to have a few hours a week with this man, I could guarentee success after that.

This is comforting

Thank you for your brutal truthfulness!

I was born with artistic abilities. I was drawing & painting at age two. I can’t do anything without being creative. I’ve learned that even if I can’t use my artistic abilities in my job, I can still be creative. Working in corporate finance, I’ve always found creative ways to simplify my jobs. I create ways to make the repetitive functions more efficient like using spreadsheets in different ways for different things. The more efficient I became, the more work I was given. Creativity makes me more solution oriented. I believe creativity also made me more analytical. I like to understand how or why things work. I believe that because I’m creative, I like to read periodicals as opposed to novels or fiction because I like learning new things. I was once tested on my aptitudes & I thought I would score the highest on creativity. To my shock, it fell to the 3rd highest score. Analytical was 1st, need for change was 2nd & creativity was 3rd! True, I’m very analytical. I get bored easily, so the need for change made sense. However, even though I scored 3rd on creativity, I still believe creativity drives the other two. It drives everything I do. I’m creative in cooking, in gardening and just about everything I attempt. I see things differently than other people who aren’t creative. I question things more. I see shapes, colors, forms, patterns more than most people. I’m more observant and watched others behaviors for cause & effect & learned from their mistakes to prevent myself from the harm they created for themselves. I believe creativity drives learning and curiosity. I’m glad I discovered Professor Peterson! His perspective is always mind blowing & highly creative!

His voice here is so much stronger and more confident then today (October 2019)

Man this guy hit the nail on the head of the reality of trying to be a creative person and presenting ideas or products to the world with no money. I'm very creative and wish a company would hire me to think of product ideas. It would be a dream job and I believe I would be an asset to the company.

His very logical interpretation of developing ways to serve society by harnessing your creativity is delivered in a very daunting perspective; nearly impossible. Having started some businesses and running them successfully, I think it is better to be a bit delusional with a good amount of mania; be aware of the risks and challenges but allow your passion to be the driver.

I understand that most won't see this since I just listened to the podcast.... its been years since this posted. None the less, both my parents were professional artists. They painted in oil and both made a great living at it. It took years, decades for both to have an amount of fame and consistent sales. He is correct, finding galleries that had the budget to advertise enough, plus be well known and a good amount of traffic was paramount. I am very proud of them and I too paint, and write.

Maybe I'm less creative then I thought

@@Xeema4869 Sadness is an opportunity to change things. Anyway, It was meant in the context of monetization of creativity. Creativity questionnaire. It makes it look as if dancing and inventing was equal. It is not. an inventor is far, far more valuable than a dancer. You are shaking your butt or putting words together. It is not very usefull. And that is the reason why it is so hard to monetize a book or a song. But invent an invention that saves time, energy or space, you will be rich in no time. Invent technology that is able to create a barrel of oil for 10 dollars. That is creativity. Think about creativity as a problem-solving. You are a writer. What exact problem are you solving? And your answer might be: I want to entertain people. Gives the idea why is it so hard to be the next star. The amount of entertainment is far greater than the amount of available time. You have to be good. And if you are a new guy you have to be even better. But then again, if you are a writer, you have to write. You write no matter what. But you do not have to write the next YA vampire saga. You might make living by translating documents. Be creative with your creativity. You are a unique person with unique abilities. Use them to make the world a better place. That my definition of usefulness.

Red bricks can be used to draw on cement surfaces.

When a news article decides to use your meme as the thumbnail and main point of the discussion so you instantly jump to a 7 on the Jordan Peterson Creativity scale :^)

Even if it’s a struggle, I won’t quit. I can’t see a life , lived I any other way for me. I love story telling. Taking complex themes and characters and blending them into a symphony. I am an artist that started my business this year. Even if finding the support I need will always be a struggle, I must live this life.

He means people have to at least find it entertaining, not necessarily efficient and effective at accomplishing something. If you come up with something that no one else can think of, but doesnt even have any significant impact on anyone else other than you, it doesnt entertain anyone or help them in their lives, you could define that as creative, but he doesnt, and he explains at the end of the video that the reason he thinks its stupid to define that as creative is because it takes away from the meaning of the word. We create adjectives to describe traits that only a percentage of the total amount of subjects fall into, and anyone can come up with something so novel that it isnt useful to anyone else in any way. If we defined that as creativity, well then everyone is creative, and then what the hell is the point of even coming up with the word? If everyone is creative, then no one is creative. For someone to be creative, it means others have to not be creative, and whereas anyone can come up with absurd ideas that only they understand, only a limited amount of people can come up with ideas that both are useful in at least some way, and are ideas that not many people would think of Making them the creative ones

It didn’t consider all the other scenarios of creative achievement such as in maths, engineering, coding, English and sports. I myself have sold a painting but that’s only because I decided to do art for GCSE and I worked my arse off on every painting. What about all those other ppl who don’t do art in school but have insane talents in it? They could have gotten a score on that quiz but didn’t because they didn’t realize they had that talent. However they might have it in the other abilities I mentioned above

​@@putinsgaytwin4272 that's the whole point of creative achievement questionnaire, how far did you try to push your creative idea and not just sit on it and do nothing about it. It doesn't mean you're not creative, it just means you never pursued it. It's like you said you are a creative person who paints, and at the same time, you chose to pursue that creativity further to actually selling your idea and having someone else liking it so much they chose to pay for it. Creative achievements in maths, coding or engineering, I'm not too sure about that, maybe you can explain this a bit more. English (poetry and story) sure that's another, but I'd say more in the science-fiction side, and sports perhaps but in what way haha?

Collins Lesulie yeah that’s fair about the if you’re lazy you don’t have a high creative achievement. But maths coding and engineering require creativity. For example, when you code, you have to develop a layout of the code. Its like a type of strategy of how you’re going to create whatever it is you’re creating. It’s not something you learn, it’s how you use the small Array of language and techniques to create something magnificent. In maths, this is not always applicable, however in many advanced maths courses you have to think outside the box and use techniques from many different areas to solve one problem. It’s not just recognising which formula to use, it’s knowing how to use many different formulae to answer one question. Anyways, Albert Einstein would have been ranked low creatively on this test but in my personal opinion he was super creative to come up with the theories and the maths to prove them.

@@putinsgaytwin4272 Okay yeah I understand now in the coding aspects, tho in maths i always get the feeling it's always gonna be factual and exact which doesn't leave much room for creativity, I'd say it's more problem solving than anything, however those who create new equations or theories almost every day, I can agree to them being creative, so like Albert E. I do agree that the questionnaire doesn't cover all topics of creativity but it does cover the big main topics in the creative realm.

I'm very creative and would guess have a potential to make money. What JP says here is very true. Most people I studied with or spoke to at art schools etc failed to make a career of their creativity. Include me in that BUT, I've been writing a book (with limited focus or graft) and as of today, I'm going to finally begin (again) the process. His words are invaluable, even when it's NOT what you want to hear. Hope your recovering well Doc ✌🏼👍🏼

I love his speeches

This guy’s important. .

One could disagree with his view that creativity implies functionality. Oscar Wilde said that "all art is quite useless", and art could be an exploration on the transcendental without the need of a practical, down-to-earth problem solving element.

learned so much

I like how Peterson talks about problems of creative work etc here, and then he has written a book. Which was success. 12 rules for life. Peterson must have had a hell of good plan when planning everything that has happened to him.
