Art vs business

If you think business is hard, try art.

Those first few brush strokes? Look look at them and think “lol what a fail”, as will nay-sayers.

Practice daily for a year? You’ll look at them and think “hey I’m pretty good”, and your nay-sayers will still laugh, because it’s still unlikely to be all that good. And they’ll be right.

Practice daily for many years? It’ll start coming together. You’ll find your style, your voice, your work. And while your nay-sayers won’t be any quieter, you won’t be able to hear them over the sound of how awesome you are.

Now apply that to your business.
