Jeff's Jots...
Have you tried a resolution around New Year? What usually happens?
1) You make a plan and then not follow through a few days or weeks later
2) You make a plan and stick to it but it doesn’t happen the way you want
3) You realize it is a waste of time and don’t even bother
Problems with this way of thinking…
1) Not factoring the things you have no control over
2) Unrealistic expectations and goal setting
3) Forgetting that it is a business and your creative self (should be both)
Know what you control ignore the superfluous roar
1) What you can control
A) Taking Classes
B) Learning a new monologue
C) Commitment to industry folks
D) New pictures, resume, social media, website
E) Physical, mental, emotional health
F) Security plan (job, family, financial)
2) What you have control over
A) Your next audition
B) ALL external events in your world
C) What tomorrow will bring
Plan smart, be honest in your self assessment, find joy in simple things, keep your sense of humor, help another actor. In other words…be grateful, be creative, practice success. Happy New Year!
