If You Wait Until You Are Ready,

If You Can't Sell To 1 In 1000, Why Market To A Million?

What Makes Someone An Artist? I Don't Think Is Has Anything To Do With A Paintbrush. There Are Painters Who Follow The Numbers, Or Paint Billboards, Or Work In A Small Village In China, Painting Reproductions. These Folks, While Swell People, Aren't Artists. On The Other Hand, Charlie Chaplin Was An Artist, Beyond A Doubt. So Is Jonathan Ive, Who Designed The Ipod. You Can Be An Artist Who Works With Oil Paints Or Marble, Sure. But There Are Artists Who Work With Numbers, Business Models, And Customer Conversations. Art Is About Intent And Communication, Not Substances.

You Get To Keep Making Art As Long As You Are Willing To Make The Choices That Let You Make Your Art.

Initiative Is The Privilege Of Picking Yourself.

Be With The Ones You Love (and The Ones That Love You.) Ignore Everyone Else.
