Becoming a superstar takes about 10,000 hours of hard work.
Take the long way. Do the hard work, consistently and with generosity and transparency. And then you won't waste time doing it over.
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.
I'm not proposing that you let the crowd dictate, or that you work hard to fit in. Far from it. I'm proposing that you know the impact your choices are having and act accordingly.
Before you promise to change the world, it makes sense to do the hard work of changing your neighborhood.
