That's what I'm terrified of. Was my previous success purely just based on luck and I don't have what it takes to have business born from my creativity?
What if you were a down & out blues musician and all you had left was your creativity?
It doesn't make very much difference what you do, it's going to take 5 to 10 years just to get back on your feet enough to even consider the opportunities ordinary people have the whole time they are less unfortunate.
So it's a toss-up, you can use your creativity very heavily and allow it to direct your rise, OTOH you could drop everything and gravitate toward something different that might be more promising once the difficult-survival period has beeen overcome.
It can look a lot different when you consider the points of view taking action for survival purposes versus to achieve prosperity.
If you're going to survive on your creativity, you may need to double down on both the survival activites and the creativity.
If not, you may need to become stabilized or even prosperous in some other way before you can indulge very much creativity in the long run.
There can be quite a valley between those two extremes.
