There are two fundamental problems that professional creatives must overcome if they’re to find success in this world:
- Obscurity
- Mastery
If nobody knows about you, they’ll never consume, appreciate, or love the work that you’re dedicated to sharing. And if you’ve not pursued mastery to a deep enough extent, then you’ll fall to the wayside of other more natural (or more practiced) individuals.
But the good news is that both of these things can be accomplished.
It just takes time.
