Crazy or Icon.
Climbing in your work requires you to be a maverick, which in turns leads you to a genius, which leads you to being an ICON. That should be the goal to be remembered to leave a legacy for your work. Inspire and be inspired.
Maverick- breaks the rules with their work/art.
Genius- harnesses what they do while breaking the rules and at the same time making it acceptable.
Icon- is whats acquired if you do both of those things the right way.
The problem is if a 1000 people know you those are usually the same people thats gone out you because they know you, and all you wanted from them was they support. In order to gain access to the millions you have to un attach your self from the 1000 to reach the millions.
It’s really YOU. You gotta be crazy to worry about what they think about you, but you also gotta be crazy to let go of the 1000.
