The “Overnight Success” Myth
2013 July 19
“The overnight success myth is simply that, a myth,” Seth Godin reminds us.
I’ll add that this myth is dangerous to a musician or artist. It can keep us from doing the necessary work.
Myths: Justin Bieber reached success by simply posting Youtube videos, being on a singing TV show will make her successful, graduating from the right art school will be the ticket to success, being an opening act for a successful artist will be the moment you “make it.”
There is no single moment where an artist “makes it.” There are tons of baby steps that help us get to tangible destinations.
Don’t let the myth of giant leaps stop you from taking baby steps.
