The Myth

Thinking big, don't let anyone stop you, you can do it. Things you hear from self-proclaimed motivation speakers. Yes, it's good that you have positive thoughts. But it's not the whole story.

Many of the stories that are going on are very often done by the Pr departments. The story that the artist was discovered on the street and taking on a fantastic journey is true. But many crucial details are taken off just to make the story faster and more understandable.

In reality, we are simplifying kind of complex things. The problem is that for the reader it looks like it just happens. The hard work from the team is mainly gone or disguised as luck.

In many cases, I also see that the artist have no clue what really was going on. So when they get the question they just it happened. A lot was done by the team.
