When you’re offered precisely what you were hoping for…
say, "yes."
If you're a musician, that means that when the internet says you can play what you want, record the way you want to, release it when you like, at the length you prefer, to the fans you'd like to share it with…
If you're an actor, that means that when the internet says you can perform what you'd like, film it with the team you've chosen and distribute it far and wide…
If you're a writer, that means that when the internet says you can write what you want, when you want to, at any length and subject matter and intensity you prefer, and then send it to five or ten or a million friends and followers…
You get the idea. Now, for the first time, you can choose yourself. You can be responsible for what you do and how you do it. You have to do the hard work of finding and pleasing an audience.
But you do have to say, "yes."
