What are those artists successful at? Making art, or marketing it? The New York art scene is a curious example in this context, because it is notoriously all about who you know rather than what you do, and that's not usually considered a good thing.

Making money in the profession that they enjoy, rather than having to take up one that they enjoy less.
Not everyone views success as making money.
