In his commencement speech at Northeastern University, Elliot Grainge emphasized the importance of resilience in the face of rejection. Drawing from his personal experiences, he urged graduates not to be discouraged by the word 'no.' Having previously faced significant setbacks while starting businesses in college, Grainge founded 10K Projects after repeatedly being told his ideas were impossible. His determination paid off, leading to the signing of successful artists. He underscored that every rejection can pave the way for eventual successes when one continues to believe in themselves and their vision.
Looking back, if just one of those individuals had said yes, or even taken my calls, I feel like I could have edited my entire career path.
I heard these things so many times, eventually I thought: screw it. I'll try and raise some money, and try to sign one or two of these artists, and launch my own label.
