KEY TAKEAWAYS
Contracts between artists and brands are not easy to obtain, but if they do connect it can take your work to a global audience.
When people try to tell you that success doesn't belong to you, it can fire you up and make you want to prove them wrong. Always use negativity as rocket fuel to push you further.
When you're a freelancer, one of the hardest skills to master is separating your emotions from the job you're doing. It takes mental and emotional resilience to remain positive during quieter periods.
In order to attain longevity, you need to master the art of thinking ahead and staying organised. Ask questions, remain alert and give it everything you have.
