True, you still need to get better.
But the importance of getting better may pale to the importance of needing other people to learn how good you are. At least for a season.
An easy example is one I’ve seen a million times here in Nashville.
Dude is a great guitar player. And he just keeps getting better. He’s at an elite level. But no one knows about him…so when producers, musicians, artists are trying to think of a great guitar player they can have come play…this guy does not get called. They don’t have his number, they don’t know his name, they’ve never heard of him…he was too busy getting better at guitar.
So for a season…you might not need to get better, but rather you need to get known for how good you are.
You don’t need more skills, you need more people to trust you and come to you.
Don’t keep getting better and better alone. Indeed you will become the best…but the world around you won’t get the gift of experiencing it.
