You have to love what you’re doing and love doing it for the right reasons. You absolutely should not be doing it because you want to be famous. You absolutely should not be doing it because you think you’re going to be making a lot of money. You have to be prepared for rejection, rejection, rejection, because that is the industry. The industry is you are constantly opening up your soul, making yourself vulnerable, putting your work out there and the vast majority will never hear anything back. So you had better have a hard shell that you can put away and allow yourself to be vulnerable and then put back on when you are waiting to hear. If you don’t have that then this is not a career path that you should follow.
