If everyone knew about me and my work right away, it might be because I marketed myself just right and not that I’ve done anything truly remarkable.
Be it me or a piece of software or your new startup, if it’s immediately popular, immediately caught on by the masses, immediately has every spotlight shined on it, none are reliable indicators of remarkable work, of art.
For most innovations, the fact it has taken awhile to catch on means they are important because they have won over the skeptics, they have made it through hell and back.
Often times people sacrifice their business or themselves for the short-lived, well-marketed limelight rather than being in the game for the long haul; rather than creating evergreen, everlasting content; rather than doing the remarkable work of swaying the most skeptical influencers over time.
There is such a thing as a “get rich quick” strategy, but now a “be remarkable in seconds” one.
Stay Positive & Instant Attention Takes Away The Fun, The Pride, The Point Of Being An Artist
