Creativity correlates with openness to experience. Openness to experience means you're more likely to play with a new experience or idea in an open way - and perhaps generate new ideas from it - than to dismiss it out of hand because you find it boring and/or anxiety provoking.
You don't need a work ethic to be creative. IME creative people have to be creative. It's not a choice.
You need a work ethic to turn creativity into value - which is a different problem, where you have to balance creative output with critical evaluation and conscious persistent development of relevant skills. (In addition to all the usual biz dev stuff.)
