Am I really an artist?\" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.\u201d <br />\r\n<br />\r\n\u2015 Steven Pressfield, The War of Art<br />\r\n\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWant to know a little secret?\u00a0 Everyone is scared as shit.\u00a0 Warren Buffet\u2019s scared about blowing an investment.\u00a0 Oprah is scared about fumbling over an interview.
