Rick Rubinโs House on the Mountain test:
Create according to your own taste, not for applause, critics, algorithms, or market demand.
โImagine going to live on a mountaintop by yourself, forever. You build a home that no one will ever visit. Still, you invest the time and effort to shape the space in which youโll spend your days. The wood, the plates, the pillowsโall magnificent. Curated to your taste.โ
โThis is the essence of great art. We create our art so we may inhabit it ourselves.โ
โI'm willing to go to extremes to make the thing that I want to inhabit and it's not for anyone else. it's just for me.โ
