@@RenCustoms Well if film is your interest, write plays or look for beginners who write plays, round up actors and make your own short movies and put them on KZbin or your website. Put your own songs on KZbin and gain a following. One good action leads to another. You never know who u will attract to get u to next journey but start! That's how u build your own table.

Throughout history, this has always been the case. It’s not that successful people are completely untalented, although that can sometimes be the case, but exceptionally talented people are usually far ahead of their time. People usually don’t even understand their work, let alone view it as commercial. People like things that are comforting and familiar. They don’t want to have to think, lest they feel unintelligent. Talented people want to probe deeply in their art, but the average person isn’t interested in that.

Do it yourself if it comes to it. This man is correct. If you get rejected, it doesn’t mean you aren’t talented. It’s likely due to politics. So, don’t get discouraged.

Finally someone talks about how talent isn't enough. A lot of creators nobly invest in perfecting their craft, only to be greeted by a cold world that won't even give a look or a listen. Or maybe just won't pay a cent. It's not that passionate artists are wrong. Of course talent IS important, but the expectation that it will automatically equate to success is a belief disconnected from reality. However, there is hope. Because we attract what we focus on, we can ALSO invest in maintaining a success-oriented mindset while we perfect our crafts.

Sorry about "inspirational" speakers are just used car salesman. They proved zero useful information (vague generalities or truisms are not useful informaiton) toward helping anyone achieve meaningful goals. This is why being an "inspirational" speaker requires zero formal training, knowledge-base, or even the most basic performance metrics to demonstrate their effectiveness.

Then they choose who can make it and who can't, which kills the industry, because the big players choose people that cater to their ego and crush the people with know how. The reason for this is the person with know how, will quickly realize that they don't need the big player.

The reason most talented are not the most successful is because like everything it is considered an industry. It's about turning a profit and most of the time that is what is the most efficient while simultaneously making the most money, so talent and artistry take a backseat. If you're talented you need to learn how to play the game and learn the rules. It's a shame but that's how it is

This is one of the most profound videos I’ve ever watched! I love art and always have, from music to dancing and poetry (you name it); but, this is so true! The most talented people get overlooked in favor of those who are willing to compromise morals to gain popularity. It truly is better just to build your own empire (or you can be the kind of artist that seeks a small audience and hope that overtime your audience increases). You might even have those seasons where you just need to do art for yourself for awhile until you’re ready to go back out their or your creative intuition guides you to share your work with the public. For me personally, I’m just tired of fakeness/egocentricity/cowardly people who feel intimidated by your talent as if your light somehow dims theirs (smh); and one might say “well every quality you mentioned defines the majority” and my response would be “well, if the shoe fits it ain’t my fault you’re wearin it!” Safe to say, I’m an artist that thrives on purpose (if not for this generation, then the one after me…I always say)! Whether you touch one or many, you’ve made your mark! 🙏🙏🙏

I've worked with young singers who became major stars, they were different. They showed up to the Studio, didn't argue, if I felt their guitar needed intonation, the young guitarist/singer let me adjust the guitar. The Artists that are late, don't know the songs, give you attitude usually lose their backing, end up older, but not necessarily wiser. Get along, be ready, smile, that's the advice for today. Practice, be ready! 🎶

You know a lot of people don't give rap moguls the credit they deserve. You have to remember they survived things nobody should have to go through, beat an industry designed to rob them, and held on to all of their money and grew. One would be wise to listen to them.

Most of what this gentleman says, I can get on board with 100%, but I do take exception to the statement that "When you have something that you love you don't [get] tired." [7:31] Creative drives are NOT inexhaustible resources, and burnout is to be expected if one isn't finding nourishment in what they're doing. The enthusiasm and energy of youth can go a long way toward overriding fatigue, but you can't survive solely on loving what you do. There must be a return on the investment in yourself and your passion.

You stressed having MORALS...You definitely have a message to bring to the world. I've subscribed and shared . ✌🏽my brother.

I don't remember exactly who but I think it was Jim Morrison who said "you've had your whole life to create your first album but you're under pressure to make the following ones". I'm not an artist so I don't know if there's something to it but when I grew up in the 70s and 80s, artists seemed to have more freedom to do their thing. One example is Pink Floyd. 2 years between Dark side of the moon and Wish you were here. Touring of course but... 😊

Great video! I’ve experienced the same politics in making my films. I had one of my cast members who also starred in a top ten film on Netflix tell me that I ‘knew nothing about marketing or leverage’. The truth is I know about about marketing and his motives and I intentionally made the decision not to put him on my film’s poster.
