Summary

Don’t make what “everyone” will like or do what “everyone” else is doing. Instead, make/do/follow/lead/create things you love.

In this episode,

As a social being, it’s natural for you to want everyone to like you and your work. Reject that natural feeling.
There’s a 3 step process for finding success as a creative. 1: Create what you love. 2: Relentlessly share the work that you create. 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2.
If your work is priced appropriately, you don’t need 10,000 people to love your work. You can make a living from 10, or 20, or 100 paying customers. Focus on getting people to fall in love with your work, one person at a time.

Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hey, what's up? Welcome to the show again. Guess what today is a micro show. It's not an interview. There's no other people. There's just me. So if you don't like me, turn me off. I hope you like me. And I hope you like the stuff that I share every once in a while. I like to mix it up instead of having a guest in a long form interview.
0:22.4	I dive right into a topic that has been inspiring or has touched me over the course of the last week.
0:27.9	And in this particular week, I'm going to share with you.
0:30.9	It just came up for me again personally.
0:33.6	A conversation I was having with some peers sharing a point of view about a piece of work that I'm working on.
0:39.9	And I was reminded of a blog post that I wrote not too long ago.
0:43.8	And here's the kicker.
0:44.8	That little blog post I went and looked at it again.
0:47.6	And it has been shared 18,300 times.
0:53.3	All right.
0:53.8	And so that doesn't just happen on accident. That means you've
0:57.8	stricken a chord. You've touched something real when 18,000 people are sharing it with their
1:04.8	entire audience. So what I thought I'd do is share with you something. You know, this again,
1:09.8	what we believe is that we have all these challenges and nobody else
1:14.3	does.
1:15.3	And so I wanted to sort of be vulnerable today.
1:17.0	Share with you.
1:18.5	This is something that I got caught in this trap up even again just last week.
1:22.9	So I wanted to bring it to life.
1:25.2	Share what I'm doing about it and and in doing so, relive this
1:29.7	blog post that I wrote not too long ago that I think is going to be worth your listen.
1:35.2	And here it goes.
