To all of the artists,
To all of the musicians, painters, sculptors, dancers, actors, visual artists, film-makers, photographers, poets, and printmakers of the world.
I want to encourage you keep on truckin’, no matter what.
You are the truest form of entrepreneurship.
You face the same challenges as the internet startups of today, but you aren’t in it for the money.
You’re the creators; who take an idea and see it all the way through execution.
You’re sacrificing stability, security, healthcare and traditional retirement funds for the shot at a bigger, more self-fulfilling payout.
You start from scratch and build empires.
You play shows to empty crowds but always put in your best effort.
You grind hard, 24/7. You hone your craft 365.
You channel your emotions into a legitimate product.
You don’t listen to the people who tell you to “give it up” or “quit dreaming” or ask “do you know what the odds are?”
You write your own story, take your own journey and travel down your own path.
You self-promote the shit out of yourself.
Failure isn’t an outcome, it’s an illusion.
You are the ultimate entrepreneur.
