* Successful creative people are successful because they are intrinsically motivated
* "10 Year Rule" -- successful creative people usually take 10 years to produce something of worth (it takes 10 years to familiarize self with any domain, e.g. conventions, language, history)
* People become successful because of motivation and hard work, NOT innate talent
* There are no "personality traits" to identify creativity in individuals
* Successful people are motivated to do what they do because they like what they do-- they become fully engaged with the process (note: perhaps referring to Mihaly Csikszentmihaly's concept of "flow"?)
