🎶 Words from musician Ed Sheeran in a recent interview…
You learn nothing from success. Nothing.
You learn everything from the failures…
Success happens from failing hundreds of times.
It doesn’t just happen overnight, you have to be rubbish and you have to have people laugh at you and you have to have people go, “Oh, go on, get a real job, this isn’t really going to work.”
And you just have to have belief that eventually it is going to get better.
Although Ed himself started very young, releasing his first album at the age of 14, he didn’t exactly have it easy.
From The Journal of Music…
Ed Sheeran played 312 gigs in 2009 in addition to constantly releasing new material on his YouTube channel. These gigs and his widespread social media following caught the attention of Jamie Foxx, Elton John and Example.
He was only 18 years old at that time. Very few people – let alone 18-year-olds – have that kind of work ethic.
And all those reps = lots of opportunity to fail, learn, and improve 💪
Ed was eventually signed by Asylum Records in 2011. He released the album + soon after, which has since been certified seven-times platinum in the UK.
