Creativity is a high-stakes game with a low probability of success. Even highly talented individuals often struggle to monetize their innovations. The process of bringing a creative idea to market involves significant hurdles: from formative stages like funding and marketing to selling and sustaining a business.
For instance, the typical royalty for a published author can be as low as 5%, with the majority of earnings absorbed by publishers and distributors. Similarly, artists and musicians frequently face barriers to commercial success, despite their talent. The path to turning a creative idea into a profitable venture is fraught with challenges, and the risk of failure is substantial.
