When you’re working 14-hour days most of the time, you won’t be able to be creative. Not to mention the risk of burnout, poor decision-making, etc. That leads to the question: Is not being creative really a problem for entrepreneurs?

If you’re a business owner, it might seem crazy to devote a month to writing a novel (National Novel Writing Month). I’m not saying I’m perfectly sane, but I enjoy writing. And I’ll use NaNoWriMo to give me a goal, some support, and a deadline.

Doesn’t sound all that different from a business goal, does it?
