'Get so good they can't ignore you'
Nicole Palmer
“Get so good they can’t ignore you”……….Steve Martin
We have all probably had ‘that day’ when someone recognized our work and approached us about how to leverage it for the greater good. John Heekin is a good Cincinnati/Leland friend and he owns both Bel Lago Winery and French Valley Winery in Leelanau County, Michigan. Of the 29 wineries on the Leelanau peninsula, French Valley has to be in the top three, if not at the pinnacle by itself.
John reached out to me to ask if I would consider putting my artwork at French Valley for display and sale. Of course I jumped at the opportunity.
Many businesses take time to build, but you will notice that Steve Martin’s quote does not mention size, it mentions being good at something, so as to be memorable. He did that one joke at a time. I’m trying to do that one painting at a time. John Heekin recognized that. Thanks John!
