People do not come out to support you.
People come to be entertained by you.
Your good friends and family might come out a time or two to support…but most peoples support fuse is pretty short.
Everyone will come out if they are entertained by you, and you being supported and feeling supported is simply a byproduct. But it starts with the entertainment, not the support.
We support the Red Cross, Blood Water Mission, the local food bank or homeless shelter.
We do not go to support Katy Perry, Skrillex or The Killers. We go to be entertained and they are entertaining.
If you’re asking people to come support, thats ok…it’s just short sighted and puts the responsibility on them, not you.
If you ask people to come be entertained, you take on the responsibility and if it goes well, could become very very successful.
You don’t sustain a career on support. This is called the entertainment business. You sustain it on entertainment.
