I Will Outlast You Collage

One of the biggest hurdles with running a creative business is the understanding the time it takes to become a success. So many people want the instant success, even if they say that they don't expect it. That's not how this works. Those that want the fame and fortune, faster than it's coming to them, cannot grasp the amount of work it takes to get to their goal. Most of them will quit. I refuse to let myself get caught in that trap. I have chosen to look at this artistic venture as a long-term game. I am running a marathon, not a 40-yard dash. I want to live a creative life, for the rest of my life. I am less concerned with fame and riches than I am with a long, artistic experience.
