A short YouTube transcript discussing how artists define success. Speakers emphasize that many artists equate success with being able to make a steady living from their work, while also valuing experiences and serving others; the speakers encourage patience (the ‘slow game’) and framing success around experiences and service rather than only money.
Recently I put out a video asking artists what.
Success would be to them.
And nearly all of them said, you.
Know, making some sort.
Of steady living from their work. I think if you want to make money from your creativity you should go for it. But at the same time I want.
To remind you.
That there is no.
Shame in the slow game.
It took five years for me as a musician before I started making any.
Money whatsoever.
I can remember when I was touring all over the country and like when I realized I was broke that was the moment that everything sucked. But when I thought about all the incredible experiences that I was getting to.
Have along the.
Way, that was what.
Excited me.
And it kept me going. It fueled the fire to move forward. Consider basing your success on the experiences you have and how well you serve people.
And trust me, you're going to get paid even if it's not all in money.
