finding the motivation to get started, let alone complete the work, can be daunting. Korkki combines real life stories, science, and insights from her own experience to illuminate the factors that drive people to complete big creative projects--and the obstacles that threaten to derail success. In the course of creating her own big thing--this book--Korkki explores the individual and collaborative projects of others: from memoirs, art installations, and musical works to theater productions, small businesses, and charities. She identifies the main aspects of a big thing, including meaningful goals; focus and effort; the difficulties posed by the demands of everyday life; and the high risk of failure and disappointment. Korkki also breaks down components of the creative process and the characteristics that define it, and offers her thoughts on avoiding procrastination, on staying motivated, scheduling a routine, and overcoming self-doubt and the restrictions of a day job. 2016.The big idea: how to make your entrepreneurial dreams come true, from the a-ha moment to your first million

Par Jacob Homel, Frédéric Bastien. 2014
