As soon as the story (on social media, interviews, podcasts…and in your own head) turns into ‘We’re getting more and more famous’ you’re in the wheel.
You will always have to be getting more famous. More fame (not merely fame itself) is what you’ve decided it’s all about.
If there isn’t at least one more person at the next gig, one more view, one more like, then there isn’t really anything worth talking about.
And for a lot of artists, if you really listen close, this is the only story they tell. Because they jumped in the wheel a long time ago without realizing it.
It’s time to change the story, or at least add to it.
I hope you’re getting super famous. But I hope that’s not all you’re doing.
