Mmmm... Preparation, influences, followers and distancing.
Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Be prepared.
“We must become “change ready”—that is, fearless, perpetually ready to reenvision, rethink, and redesign, whatever we do and wherever we are. We must constantly adapt, discover, think ahead, and iterate. We must meet change early and continually adapt to it.” - Beth Comstock
Stand on the shoulders of giants.
“With rare exceptions, we become who we become as artists because we are influenced by other artists, not despite that fact. No idea is completely original, and being influenced by the work of other creative people and movements is part of the process of finding your voice.” - Lisa Congdon
Build a following.
“Those who are able to inspire will create a following of people—supporters, voters, customers, workers—who act for the good of the whole not because they have to, but because they want to.” - Simon Sinek

Think ahead.
“Sometimes, the fear of judgement can hold us back from sharing our work with the world. But there’s a way to lessen that anxiety: prepare your work in advance and schedule it for release at a later time.
By doing this, you create a bit of distance between yourself and the work. When it’s finally out there, you’re not the same person who created it—you’ve grown a little older, a little wiser.
The key is to keep moving forward. Let the process shape you, and trust that when your work is released, you’ll be ready for whatever comes next.”
