Some of the best advice I ever got was from a real successful sax player who'd played with lots of names. He said, "No two career paths are the same." Stuff that works for one person isn't going to work for everyone, and a lot of gimmicks only work once. The Sheeran/Seinfeld advice is good stuff.

Taylor Swift telling you to follow your dreams is like a lottery winner saying liquidise your assets. Buy Powerball tickets. It works."
