For many artists, fame rates high as an end goal. However, you can't be in the mindset we mentioned, the multiple goals mindset, and have fame as your only goal. If fame is your only goal, you set yourself up for disappointment both if you don't achieve your goal and if you do. If you don't achieve your goal, you'll feel like a failure. If you do achieve your goal, then what? For this reason, try to understand why fame is a goal.

Do you want people to admire you?

Why do you want people to admire you?

Do you want money?

What if you made money, but weren't famous?

Those that enter the spotlight receive both intense admiration and intense criticism. How would you deal with the lack of privacy?

What if your fame is short-lived?

Is it the fame or the actual endeavor that's most attractive?

Would you continue to create if you'd received severe criticism, were no longer famous, or were a bit player?

To really succeed at your goals, you need to understand yourself and understand the risks involved in your endeavor. Take the time before you begin a Career Plan to think about what you're doing and why you're doing it. A little work along the way will keep your feet on the ground and give you a strong foundation from which to work as you journey toward your goals.
