"Don't worry about sales. Make your money by touring."
If I were a musician, I'd be the studio based type. (Mike Oldfield, et al.) Re-taking and re-mixing until the recording is just right.
For someone like that hypothetical me, going on tour would be to expect people to pay to watch a substandard live performance or to watch me mime to a recording. I'd find both rather dishonest.
Its a good job I'm a software engineer. My customers expect me to test my work before delivery.
