Hey there, hero!

Is it possible that in addition to all of the other things you're concerned with when it comes to your performance career, that actually having a bit of success might be more daunting?

More daunting than the possibility of...failure?

Because then, the rules have to change. You have to start living by the rules of success, not failure.

And you have new responsibilities.

How can this possibly make sense? Do you ever take a moment to consider if you're fearful of actually succeeding? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Putting your creations out there for the world to see can feel like an act of bravery, and some people get ready for a bit of criticism.

And they might be looking for a way to deal with that criticism.

I say, be like Joe.

Joseph Brodsky the writer/poet, that is.

After a recent video I released was posted about creating my Narrate Your Own Book course, I got an odd response from a listener about how everything I teach...can be found, for free, on YouTube.

How I reacted (or didn't react) to that was pure Joe. And I thought maybe it would be useful to you, too.

How do you react to criticism of your work from friends, family, casting, unknown audience members, readers, editors etc? Is it painful or easy? Or something in-between? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Far more often than not, the projects I create and undertake tend to "stick." Rarely do I shut something down before it has run its course.

And most go on for a long, long time.

In this episode, I take a look at the decision making and the grief (yep!) around the choice to end a project I love (which I recently did).

Part of that includes how to do things gracefully and generously, both to myself and to anyone involved that might be affected by the de-commissioning.

And part of that decision is dealing with the notion of failure.

And part of that decision is how to take the time that's freed up and re-deploy it.

How easy is it for you to say goodbye to something you've put work into? What do you tell yourself in terms of the sunk cost of time, effort and maybe money? Let me know in the comments below.
