We have starving artists everywhere. It’s a struggle. They can’t keep up. They don’t stand a chance.
Both big artists and small artists are struggling because they insist on eating the cupcakes instead of the four course meal.
It doesn’t matter the level of success you’ve achieved, if you keep only paying attention to, and seeking out cupcakes you will never sustain.
Cupcakes are sugar pops, adrenaline pops. The phone call you’re opening a big tour. Your song is finally on the radio. Taylor Swift tweeted at you. The standing ovation.
Cupcakes are tasty, but the buzz always fades. It wasn’t designed to sustain. It’s a cupcake. It’s delicious, and you should absolutely enjoy it…but it’s a cupcake.
When artists start centering their diets around cupcakes, the end result is an empty belly, an empty core.
You don’t have to be a starving artist. No matter what level you’re on.
Start incorporating and even enjoying the full meal now. Even the vegetables.
