Friends will surely support you. They’ll purchase your work, give you a friendly hard time about it and share it with their friends. It’s important to keep your friends posted on your progress and get them excited about what you’re working on. They’re important to ensuring your work spreads.
But there’s a limit to how many connections the work will spread to with friends.
So the duty of a professional is also to gather followers by leading a tribe with the work they do. People they likely don’t see day-to-day. People who don’t know about their childhood. People who have friends that look to them to recommend new places, books, work, etc.
This requires vulnerability to others. It requires sharing your secrets of how you make your work. It requires regularly showing up to prove you’re in it for the long run and worth following.
There’s no limit to how many connections the work will spread to with followers.
Stay Positive & How’s Your Tribe Coming Along?
