But what I've learned is no one is ever an overnight sensation and if I'm feeling down about my work (and sales) I need to work harder. <br /><br />May not be the best advice I give myself, but at least it's under my control, and most things in this crazy business aren't. :) <br /><br />I'm boycotting The Voice even though I love Pharrell.
