Taylor Swift is worth somewhere between $700 and $800 million; in terms of entrepreneurial success, that’s rare air.
But then there’s this: as ESPN’s Wright Thompson once told me, Swift might be the most incredible person in American life.
“She experienced global, nuclear success at a young age. And she’s continued to be incredibly successful.
Yet she never had that “teen star” meltdown. Her success is amazing… but even more incredible is that she’s mature, well-rounded, and happy. That accomplishment is truly staggering.”
Taylor Swift on Happiness:
I have this really high priority on happiness, and finding something to be happy about.
My ultimate goal is to end up being happy, most of the time.
Taylor Swift on Kindness:
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
You can choose to include rather than exclude. You can choose to build people up rather than tear them down. You can give before you receive, knowing you may never receive. You can shift the spotlight to other people. You can listen more than you talk.
Taylor Swift on the Power of Solitude:
I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, to just decompress.
Why? One theory is aspirational: the smarter you are, possibly the more focused you will be on longer-term goals — which means spending too much time socializing can be distracting instead of helpful. (In short, if you’re always hanging out with people, you aren’t getting stuff done.)
Taylor Swift on Giving Advice:
I never give advice unless someone asks me for it.
One thing I’ve learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.
Taylor Swift on Goals:
As soon as I accomplish one goal, I replace it with another one.
I try not to get too far ahead of myself. I just say to myself, ‘All right, I’d like to headline a tour,’ and then when I get there, I’ll see what my next goal is.
What made Taylor Swift successful?
Her songwriting and ability of ella to span the genres.
