5 Keys to enjoying greater success... [on stage, at work or in life]
Every client and student that I have ever worked with has wanted one thing: to find greater success in whatever they are doing. In order to begin this journey, I believe that we must first recognize that success is a matter of perspective and is relative to context. Therefore I urge you, dear reader, to define what success means to you. Get really clear! Great! Now that you have an idea of what YOU are working towards then here are my key ingredients to help you get there!
- BE YOU! There is nothing more powerful than when someone recognizes and owns the fact that what makes them valuable is their individuality. Whether you're an actor or business person, you often face situations where you believe that it is better to be someone else rather than honestly react in the moment as your true self. In these moments, I challenge you to take a deep breath, drop the mask, stop pretending to be someone else and allow who you are to radiate through all that you do.
- Have a CLEAR INTENTION! Why are you doing what you choose to do? What do you want to accomplish and why? The moment that you get clear on what you want and why you want it, it is the moment that you become even more committed to your goal.
- Be IN ACTION towards what you want. Focus on being in action towards your goals rather than battling the obstacles in your path. Along the journey to achieving your objective there will be obstacles that you will have to face. More often than not, I find that people become more focused on overcoming the obstacle and so lose sight of their initial goal. Therefore it is always useful to remember to check-in with yourself and ask, is this going to help me get what I want?
- Be BOLD in your choices. Yes, do that thing that you KNOW is going to help you achieve your goal but that you’re too afraid to do. We have all been there! There's a moment when you know a specific action will help you achieve your goals but something is holding you back. That thing is FEAR. Be bigger than that fear. I know... easier said than done. But sometimes you need to take the leap and push through in order to achieve something greater than what you've had before. If you find that you still can't find the strength on your own to fully commit to the action then....
- Seek HELP when you need it. Sometimes we can’t see how to move forward and we need to partner with someone else in order to take the leap. THAT IS OK! We all have a special relationship to fear and sometimes the only way to move forward is with the help of someone else. Now you may think, oh let me ask a friend. However, in most instances, friendly advice is not the thing that's going to help. Some people need a wake-up call, to be challenged and awakened to a new perspective that can only come from outside their personal bubble. If this is true for you, then maybe it's time to look into hiring a coach.
