I recently have joined/created a team with a friend of mine from out of state for flow artists that want to leave their mark on this world and spread good vibes. In this team, we were given the chance to be sponsored. Now a sponsorship is a wonderful thing, it gives the opportunity to expand much more at a faster rate, which is what we wanted to do, but it puts a label on the team for the company sponsoring us.
We turned down the sponsors, because we wanted to walk our own path and create our own success, without being labeled by a company. And hopefully we will create our own success, we could always fail completely too. However, the point is, one does not need help from a more powerful person/company to have success. One can achieve success on their own and prove that they are powerful themselves. Anyone can achieve great success on their own, they just have to work hard for it and not give up.
With that, I hope everyone's handling all of this snow okay, it's insane! As Brody said, maybe we should take the dojo and sensei and go to where the Equator and Prime Meridian meet. Hopefully it would be warmer there.
Your team must be doing pretty well to be getting sponsors. It sounds like a mature decision to reject the sponsors because you don't want to be labeled. Good on you. I'd love to see some of your work.
