Ten Thousand People: the antidote to ‘chasing gigs’
"A wee while ago I came across the great “One Thousand True Fans” blog post. A similar idea to my own, except his magic number was one-tenth the size of mine. It doesn’t matter. It all depends on what you’re selling. The famous English tailor, Thomas Mahon, has his magic number set at one hundred, because that’s basically how many handmade suits he is physically capable of making in a twelve month period.Whatever your own, personal magic number may be, I hope you find it one day; I hope you find THOSE PEOPLE one day."

Every now and then I'll read a blog post or article that really jolts me awake and makes me think. Quite frequently at the moment these little thought provoking explosions will be prompted by something Hugh MacLeod of @gapingvoid fame has written or drawn. He really does seem to be on fire at the moment.
I love his concept of finding your personal 'magic number', an equilibrium point to provide the perfect market for whatever it is you want to do. Simple, powerful and motivational.
