The first step of any creator hoping for lasting success—whether for ten years or ten centuries—is to accept that hope has nothing to do with it.

To be great, one must make great work, and making great work is incredibly hard. It must be our primary focus.

We must set out, from the beginning, with complete and total commitment to the idea that our best chance of success starts during the creative process.

Do go make and share. Do what you can’t.

Beispiel 2 ist eine gute Art, sich zu präsentieren, wiederum als Sprecher.

💡Tipp: Fokussiere den ersten Eindruck.

Präsentiere ich dich als ein Ding, nicht zwei. Das erhöht die Klarheit in den Köpfen der Leute und du wirst als Experte gesehen. Spezialisten werden besser bezahlt als Generalisten.

Hier sind 2 Beispiele 👇

Beispiel 1 ist eine schlechte Art, sich zu präsentieren, z. B. als Sprecher.

Ich habe den Copywritingtext von Jennie Dyers Voiceover-Website analysiert und optimiert

Example 2 is a good way of presenting yourself, e.g., again as a voiceover artist.

💡Tip: Focus your first impression.

Present yourself as one, not two things, to increase clarity in people’s minds and to be seen as the expert. Specialists get paid more than generalists.

Here are 2 examples:

I analyzed and optimized the copywriting of Jennie Dyer’s voice-acting website https://naii.io/copywriting/voice-actress-jennie-dyer-landing-page-analysis-and-optimization.php

The late summer and early autumn sun always gives the impression, “Hey, let my shine for you real bright,” even to a point of theoretically blinding you, “so I can do my best before I disappear,” or rather become something else during autumn/winter time.

I’m only staying with Evernote because of nostalgia - having been on the service since 2008, I believe, so the past memories I’m attaching to Evernote. That’s why it’s so valuable to me. Basically, because of being human and longing to have meaning and a meaningful life.

Why is Evernote so slow adding tags to 50 notes? - it takes up to 2 minutes

I spent 4.5 re-organizing 27,595 notes in Evernote, def not the nicest experience especially when Evernote still (!) doesn’t feature sub-folders… in 2021 *omg

It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly to keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.

You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you.

Keep the channel open.

No artist is pleased.

There is no satisfaction, whatever, at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction of blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

Martha Graham's advice to fellow dancer Agnes de Mille:

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there's only one of you, in all of time, this expression is unique.

If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and it will be lost. The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable it is, or how valuable it is compared with other expressions.
