Any situation with an external measure of success is not going to take anyone forward internally because the temptation (conscious or unconscious) to succeed at any cost (cheat) is too great to either ignore or resist.

Generalisation? Can you be a bit more specific Steven? Successful artists - managing to make their work (rather than stack shelves) because people are buying it are now failures?

No, they're not failures. I'm just saying that their success at selling their work is no indication of an internal journey. It is also no indication of the quality of the work.
