When I drive by any construction site around town it’s pretty clear they know what they’re doing and they know what comes next.
The brick layers don’t show up when the diggers are breaking ground. The painters don’t show up before the dry wallers. And perhaps most importantly, no one shows up and just does what they feel like that day…the roofers don’t get to decide the roofline, the plumbers don’t get to try putting a shower in every room because it would be exciting.
Everyone shows up at the appropriate time, follows the plans and the house gets built. And the best thing is that when big problems arise, the general contractor has done this a hundred times before and knows how to adjust the plan to still achieve the result.
As it pertains to so many artists wanting to make a career out of it…
There’s probably some building going on but they don’t know what it is. Because artists don’t know what they want to build. If they do, they’ve never built it before, don’t know how to build it and don’t slow down long enough to align with people who can help them achieve it.
Ideally, an artist would know what they want to build and partner with people who also want to build the same thing and have done something similar before.
The reality is, it’s really tough to find those partners and advocates and accomplices and can take a while…so start with the first part…What specifically do you want to build?
