Kudos to Bob Baker at Bob Baker’s Artist Empowerment Blog for a powerful list of “14 Things I’ve Learned About Creative Success.” I just found his blog and subscribed so I’ll be sure to continue to pass along anything appropriate in the future. All 14 are terrific, but here are the two that jumped out at me:
- Do not take advice from people who are broke and struggling — unless you want to end up like them.
I heard someone in a huge room say that he could determine how much money anyone in the room made if he could talk to 10 or 15 of our friends. That seemed odd, but he was right. And it’s right for you too.
- Pick one aspect of your art or personality and make that the cornerstone of your public identity.
