You want it all exactly how you want it. But you’re not going to get it all exactly how you want it.
Instead…you might get some of what you want.
So what do you really want? And what elements are you willing to adjust, compromise, give up and sacrifice in order to get it?
Making it in this business especially as an artist is so hard. And the difference between what you hoped for vs. reality is enough to steal away most childhood dreams…that is…unless you’re specific and clear about what you want and are willing to adjust for ambition while maintaining relentless work ethic and constant focus.
