I often counsel artist to join an artist organization or start up a group that will be supportive of each other. In fact, I created a whole new Web site that gives artists who help each other out a free marketing plan: http://www.artbizconnection.com The support and success will only happen if everyone is on the same page. And you're right about this, too: Get rid of the naysayers in your life. They only drag you down and make you feel bad about yourself. Thanks! Excellent observation, Eric!

Even though the winning team (Team Magna) squabbled all the time, they worked together and succeeded. The other pair did not work productively as a team - one person pretty much developed the entire plan and product and the other one second-guessed, complained, and did nothing productive (and was fired). The "morals of the story" to me are a) surround yourself with people who actually support your goals regardless of emotional "noise" and b) let go of people who are not actually supportive, even if they say nice things and pretend to be supportive.
