Own your brand
What are you willing to do for your brand? As a creative; what does your brand mean for you? There are so many people in this space that don’t seem to know what they are doing, or the responsibilities they have as role models because yeah, people are watching you and sometimes, they do things because you are doing them. The other day I encountered an entertainer who was so drunk they couldn’t see straight. This was in a public space and eventually because he was getting rowdy; people started moving away from him and only his so-called friends remained who kept on encouraging him to do silly things. This picture was an eyesore for me and the fact that he kept on repeating who he was and trying to draw attention to himself in that state was saddening.
I’m not saying creatives can’t go out once in a while or ‘get excited’ as Gazza recently explained as the reason for his misbehaviour on stage. I think, the moment you realise that you are suddenly overwhelmed by happiness; take a few minutes to yourself and either walk away or sit down and regain your control. I’m saying because now I can never look at that entertainer the same way again and it is all because of something avoidable.
This is how you grow your brand, gain respect and be able to demand certain things - not only because you are a great entertainer but also because you have a good reputation, you always show up and you deliver greatness!
Once you have all of that in the bag, you have the right to ask whoever if they know who you are when they want to disrespect you and walk away, with your head held high so your crown doesn’t fall.
