Book Details
Table of Contents
Ignore everybody
The idea doesn't have to be big, it just has to be yours
Put the hours in
Good ideas have lonely childhoods
If your business plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail
You are responsible for your own experience
Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten
Keep your day job
Companies that squelch creativity can no longer compete with companies that champion creativity
Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb
The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props
Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether
If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you
Never compare your inside with somebody else's outside
Dying young is overrated
The most important thing a creative person can learn professionally is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not
The world is changing
Merit can be bought, passion can't
Avoid the watercooler gang
Sing in your own voice
The choice of media is irrelevant
Selling out is harder than it looks
Nobody cares; do it for yourself
Worrying about "commercial vs. artistic" is a complete waste of time
Don't worry about finding inspiration; it comes eventually
You have to find your own schtick
Write from the heart
The best way to get approval is not to need it
Power is never given, power is taken
Whatever choice you make, the devil gets his due eventually
The hardest part of being creative is getting used to it
Remain frugal
Allow your work to age with you
Being poor sucks
Beware of turning hobbies into jobs
Savor obscurity while it lasts
Start blogging
Meaning scales, people don't
When your dreams become reality, they are no longer your dreams
None of this is rocket science.
