I once worked for a dude doing a clown / puppet / mask show.

When the audiences didn’t respond the way he wanted them to, he blamed the audience.

He spent hours crafting and creating this performance for school and families.

When they didn’t respond how he expected, he didn’t spend much time tweaking nor refining his work.

He didn’t look at himself and wonder is this something people really like, need or want?

He was a well known expert in love with his expertise.

Sound familiar to you?

Love the people who love you.

And don’t berate the audience for not responding to your message.
