Last night I watched a two hour biography of the band Queen on the Bio Channel. I was a teenager when Queen released "A Night At the Opera" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" I became a big fan, and their songs remain on my favorites list on my ipod.
The documentary included recent interviews with the three surviving members of the band and lots of archival footage. For some years even after they began releasing albums Queen made very little money. Their management told the drummer to stop breaking sticks in concert because they couldn't afford to buy new ones. But they kept working,creating new music and eventually became fabulously wealthy stars.
Once they became famous, they lived a rock star life. But despite the temptations of stardom, they kept working: writing new music, recording, touring, and pushing themselves to get better.
The takeaway for you is this: Stars work hard. Creating hit songs and movies, bestsellers, and viral videos may be fun work, but it's still work. It requires an enormous investment of time and creative energy. Are you happy with the response to your content? If not, how hard are you working?
