I watched Big Eyes,
a movie about a real life
husband and wife team.
The wife created art.
The husband took credit for it,
selling it as his own work.
Yes, taking credit
for another person’s work is wrong
but I doubt she would have become famous
on her own.
Not merely because she was a woman
but because she couldn’t sell.
She didn’t have strong selling skills
and she didn’t seem interested
in acquiring them.
Because she couldn’t sell,
she would have always
been at the mercy
of someone who could sell.
You can have the greatest product
in the world.
If you can’t sell that product
to other people,
that product won’t become known.
Learn how to sell.
Practice every day at it.
