The tiny cost of failure...is dwarfed by the huge cost of not trying.

Our job as marketers and leaders, is to create vibrant pockets, not to hunt for mass.

A big part of doing your work is defending your time and your attention so you can do your work.

The enemy of fear is creativity.

The reason it seems that price is all your customers care about is that you haven't given them anything else to care about.

Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.

If you love writing or making music or blogging or any sort of performing art, then do it. Do it with everything you've got. Just don't plan on using it as a shortcut to making a living.
