"One reason jobs move overseas is because we train our kids to be consumers- instead of producers.  If a kid has 10 gifts to give, why not buy five and make the other five... and be a producer as well as a consumer?"- Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad

In a post that I wrote last year I told a story about my MBA students and creativity.  In the post I talked about how I forced them to become creative and how often they exceeded my expectations.

From those experiences I tried to teach my students that they could be creative if they chose to label themselves as creative.  

This quote added to my belief.  He calls it producers instead of creators.  I believe that for most parts we are talking about the same things.  But I do believe that they can often mean opposite things.  You can produce a copy and thus you would be a copier and not a creator.  You could create mentally BUT not produce anything physical.

The magic is when creativity and producing are combined.  It is analysis meets creativity and results in products- a Creative Producer.

Today's question is:

"Are you a Creative Producer?"
