Ignore Everybody
This book offers brilliant straight-to-the-point wisdom on creativity. It’s divided into 38 simple ideas – here are some of my favourites:
1. Ignore everybody.
2. The idea doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be yours.
3. Put the hours in.
4. If your business plan depends on you suddenly being “discovered” by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.
5. You are responsible for your own experience.
6. Everyone is born creative.
7. Keep your day job.
10. The more talented someone is, the less they need props.
11. Don’t try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether.
19. Sing in your own voice.
22. Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.
23. Worrying about “Commercial vs. Artistic” is a complete waste of time.
26. Write from the heart.
27. The best way to get approval is not to need it.
31. Remain frugal.
