It’s a recipe for disaster if you simply add a step entitled "be creative" into a linear plan for a creative work project. Likewise, if you just wait for that heavenly spark of insight to come, you may be in for a not-so-great, long-drawn-out surprise. In this video, you’ll learn three best practices on how to create high-gain and low-risk plans that are both open to creative insight and yet also guaranteed to produce useful results. We'll teach you ways to break down major high-risk creative work projects into smaller and tangible tasks which have the highest potential for high gains and low risks.

The good news is you can still go after big wins and have a better chance of getting them. In the video, you’ll learn three methods which will help you convert high-gain/high-risk into high-gain/low-risk activities and results.
