You know why bands and artists fail? It’s because they try to fight a battle against all odds rather than attempting to respond in a different way.
Entrepreneurs: pick your battles.

Exactly! And, I feel that dance artists in particular struggle with their own openness to respond in a “different way” (which seems contradictory, perhaps, as artists…) But, it’s a limited purview and stubbornness to, for example, hear their audience’s feedback and build that bridge of understanding. And, I believe that artists could be more successful in their creative endeavors if they were willing to practice a few ‘business’ methodologies (and stop preaching solely to their own) e.g. more effective and strategic branding, growth planning, and even some business development, sales and networking techniques… at least when it comes to building audiences. Anyways, love where you’re headed with this article. Thanks!
