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.

Hey there, hero!

Listen or watch this episode for an actual ONE step plan to avoid oversimplifying the clickbait options you find online on your way to success:

Don't be sucked into the apparent secret sauce of a overly simple plan to ultimate success.

I try not to make the "overpromise/underdeliver" mistake when I share things with you, but I can't control what you see in your social feeds.

It's rarely as simple as the ads make it sound...whatever it is you're trying to do.

What are your thoughts on course correction and honing and refining and what actually constitutes a "step"? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

We're all on a pursuit. A pursuit of the performance arts career we want: acting, VO, writing and more.

And we often look to those who have "made it" for guidance.

How did they get success? Great question.

But I think a better question would be about how they handled rejection. That skill can be really useful, as rejection is inevitable and is far more common than success.

So let's give a listen to how Stephen King, Maya Angelou, Jack Canfield, Harper Lee and a few other superstar writers felt about, and handled, rejection.

How to you react when you don't hear back after an audition or submission? Did anything you heard in the episode help? Let me know in the comments below.
