I see another pattern here. Gates, Musk and Steve Jobs are pioneers.They became CEOs of their own companies. They had a stake in the future of their companies or skin in the game as Nicolas Taleb would say. They had the choice to delegate details to others and focus only on the vision. But that would have been riskier. Paid CEOs recruited from outside do not have the stake in the company as much as its founder.

If b2b, your product has to either help a company make more money or save money.
If b2c or d2c, your product either provides value or status (happiness).

One of the problems of our relationship with capitalism is that we place over-reliance on monetary reward. Management training constantly tells us that monetary reward is not a particularly effective motivator and there are better.

What is preventing you from being where you want to be? — eliminate that, whatever you need to do… it’s an easy decision to make, but hard to execute. Figure that out and you’re on you’re way!
While I do agree with the need to ‘check out’ at times — I think the long term fix is to put yourself in a situation to end up doing what you love… we only have 1 shot and if you do what you love, it plays itself out
“Artist” here should be swapped for creator of (intellectual) property. Generally, this isn’t created by a single person but a team, funded by a business person.
Likewise, the title need to change. A “creative” is a copywriter in an advertising agency, or a novelist, or a photographer. These sell their work to businesses.
