I really like the highlights you selected and how you evolved on them. Make it sexy and demand excellence are two great things that we must keep doing. At times, I find it as a struggle, to try to express oneself, trying to be innovative/creative but still stay true to what you're trying to do (i.e. you focus on the art not on being different/special).

I also wanna bring to light the 'diversify your brand' and 'ask help when you need it'. We are social beings, and especially if we are artists or brands or whatever, we want to reach out and connect with other people. Therefore, putting ourselves in a box and rejecting help is counter-productive; we should be able to listen and get input from multiple perspectives, and asking for help if there is something we need help with.
