Defining Success as a Creator
Success as a creator can vary significantly from one individual to another, as it largely depends on personal goals and motivations. For some, simply having the time and space to create is already a substantial indicator of success. Others may measure success by the ability to reach and resonate with an audience, regardless of its size. Ultimately, each creator must set their own parameters for success, recognizing that what works for one may not hold the same value for another.
