Are Creativity and Business Sense Mutually Exclusive?

If you are a creative person who creates music, art, screenplays, movies, photographs and the like, does that mean you have no business sense? And if you are a business person, dos that mean you are not creative?

It seems to me, sometimes, that these two things are in conflict, especially with people in the music business, any facet of the music business. They seem to have no head for business and, sometimes, live in a fantasy world where they think that every note they create is a gift from god and that they should be rich beyond dreams of avarice for it.
