USLM3- The Journey to Success

[mat422]

When I was in college for photography, one of the things the college did was have us "artists" attend soirees with wealthy locals, so they could get to know us and we could "schmooze them". But I don't speak *****-ese and when an apparently wealthy woman asked me why I create, I told her exactly what I just told you. The woman looked horrified and made a quick exit.

Then someone came over and laughed and said, "Well there goes your career as an artist around these parts."

I just laughed. You make something people like enough, they'll buy it without you needing to ***** them. No matter what you charge for it.

Go create, Mat. It's none of your business what other people think of you. That's their business, and if it's negative, their problem. Indulge yourself in the creation itself. The result cannot be bad if you are creating from a genuine need to create.

Wow. I wonder what ran through that woman's head lol. Same thing would have probably happened to me though if I was in that situation.

As always Shannon, I appreciate your advice and experiences you share with me.
