Hey there, hero!

Actors, voice talent and writers often face the question of whether they should run their creative practice as an individual, being paid as an employee, or as a company, paid via invoicing on a more formal basis.

And the answer is…

…it depends.

In this episode, I take a look at the options you have in either case, not as a professional business manager, but from both sides of the equation.

What has your experience been when making this decision? As I say in the episode, please don’t offer any advice to anyone (even if you are a professional at money management and/or taxes), but let me know in the comments below what you’ve decided and what led to that decision. If you want to. No pressure.

Hey there, hero!

I ran across a quote by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz that called out a huge difference in how feedback/criticism/adjustments land with kids…as opposed to how that can land with adults.

And it comes down to what he called “...the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem.”

Adults don’t like to be questioned about their choices.

Kids? They usually don’t give a rat. They’re used to being guided by adults, and don’t know what they don’t know.

So…some advice in this episode about how to handle feedback from a coach, and not feel like you’ve been insulted.

And how DO you feel when you get feedback from a trainer/coach/consultant/teacher? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Short and sweet: six words that might make your day a bit more impactful, and give you a bit more moxie and courage to do what we do as professional performers.

(I ask my students at the end of each of our live workouts if they had anything resonate for them during the session - a #1 takeaway - and as I traversed the web yesterday…Ms. Anjelou, in just those six concise words, handed me what was my #1 takeaway of yesterday.)

Thoughts? Let me know in the comments below.
