If you’re like many artists I know, you launch headfirst into your project.
​
You complete the work.

And struggle endeavor to get it out.
​
How do I get people to pay attention to my artistry?
​
Prussian General Carl Von Clausewitz wrote about 3 levels of war:
​
1. Strategic – Which war should we wage?
​
2. Operational – How do we achieve the commander’s objectives?
​
3. Tactical – How do we win this battle?
​

Artists often jump to the tactical level (writing lyrics, recording music).
​
But you have to ask yourself a more strategic question:
​
“What idea should I pursue in the first place?”
​
The idea you choose largely influences the trajectory of your project.
​
👉🏽 This is a framework that I use to come up with standout ideas​

I hope it helps.
