Bit of both for me really the best thing I have learned is lateral thinking when I was working with an old boy, he taught me to always visualise the end result before you start.

I come from a long and continuing line of crafty

people so it might be as fish says in the blood.

i strongly believe if you get bid strong money for something you should sell it, no matter what it is..
when you turn it down take notice something bad happens to it sooner or later
