Growth Notes
Every creative experiences this - from Picasso to Allan Scott to MKBHD.
Call it "trusting the process."
Call it the genius of never giving up.
Call it the lagging indicator - coined by @Ryan Holiday.
> @MKBHD currently has 18.3M subscribers. But when he recorded his 100th video for his YouTube channel, his subscriber count only totaled 74 people.
> It took Allan Scott, the producer of The Queen's Gambit, 30 years, 9 rewrites, and countless studio rejections until the miniseries became a global sensation viewed by 62 million people.
> Picasso produced 50,000+ artworks. But a small amount of those went on to became Picasso's paintings.
What is the point here?
PERSEVERE WITH THAT THING YOU'RE MAKING.
It's bigger than just you.
As Jay Z says, “The genius thing that we did was we didn't give up.”

“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.” — Napoleon Hill
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” — Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“You could be a plumber or a lawyer or a businessman or a priest, but that does not affect the essential “I”. It doesn’t affect you. If I change my profession tomorrow, it’s just like changing my clothes. I am untouched. Are you your clothes? Are you your name? Are you your profession? Stop identifying with them. They come and go.” — Awareness by Anthony de Mello (thanks to Baxter Blackwood for sending me this quote)

Question For You
A great alternative to: "What do you do for work?"
Instead, it can be phrased: "How do you spend your time?"
