FEBRUARY 14, 2010

Recently, someone argued with me stating that just because they are into a creative field, they don’t need process. My take is that even in creative areas, a process is important. Artists, writers and other creative people are still professionals who have to repeat their success. Everybody else, he said, must follow process.
