Quite often you can split humans into two camps, the logical thinker, and the creative thinker. These two sets of people go about their lives and decisions in very different ways. You will usually see the logical thinker enjoying a well-rounded life. With all their financial affairs in order and a stable, if not a little safe, future ahead. Whereas the creative thinker is someone who always seems to be on a rollercoaster, either riding high or low. It is more usual to see a creative thinker at the head of a large business, although they will have learned a lot of logic on the way.

Logical thinkers and creative thinkers are often in turmoil with one another, if you are in a relationship where your partner cannot understand your create reasoning, you could find yourself in between lots of arguments. If you are creative, you may believe that you are an optimist and your logical partner is more a pessimist. However, this isn’t true. Usually, creative people are late, very optimistic and refuse to give up even when failure looks sure. A logical person finds these traits OTT and believes that their optimism is simple denial.
When both these sets of thinker come together, though, that is when the magic happens.
One of you will be pushing forward, showing the other that failure can lead to successes and should not always be avoided, the other will be taking on the safety net tasks and highlighting any possible issues, monitoring your assets and ensuring your cashflow is working. When logic and creativity combine there are very few things that can stand in their way.

If you are a single person and lie in one of these camps, then you need to start learning about the other side of things. Being creative is something that comes naturally to others. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn the skill. You simply have to look outside the box a little bit and take yourself out of your comfort zone. Learning to be more logical is also not impossible. It is as simple as asking yourself the question, does the risk outweigh the reward. To think more logically you need to step back inside the box, momentarily!
To have a stable financial future and to build an incredible legacy for your children, you need to get creative and reasoned. Push the boundaries a little, fuelled by your research. Take a systematic risk on investment. If you are creative then why not build yourself a safety egg, make some money out of an investment and put it in your personal savings account.
When we find the balance between logic and creativity that is when all the magic starts to happen, it is where millionaires are made; it is how companies become global, take Apple for a good example, it is how names go down in history. So, look into your world and ask yourself, do you need to push a few more boundaries, or take a couple of steps back?
