Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.

Choose your customers. Fire the ones that hurt your ability to deliver the right story to the others.

It's unlikely that you'll create something scarce without doing something risky to get there.

If you're considering word of mouth, stability and lifetime value, it's almost always true that the easier it is to get someone's attention, the less it's worth.

Take a chance on your own abilities clearly, neither exaggerating them nor under-assessing them.
