Did We Strike a Nerve?

So…wow.

Bryan and I have simply been blown away by the response to last week’s “Living in Possibility” call!42-24507812 Hundreds of you joined us for a conversation about living life powerfully as artists who CHOOSE to create the success you desire (and deserve) in every area of your lives. We suspected there would be a few motivated artists who might dive into the material, but we just weren’t prepared for the number of calls and emails we’ve received, sharing your questions, experiences and victories–we’ve never seen the group this fired up before! It seems we really struck a nerve!

Or are you all even more dynamic than we realized?!

The immediate question is: With all of this momentum and new insight, what are you going to do next to stay in the zone of your potential? How will you apply this work practically day to day? How will you best capitalize on these discoveries and treat yourself to the good to come–right now? (more…)

The BEST Quote Ever!

“Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little.” – Gore Vidal

My acting teacher shared this quote with me, and it quickly became one of my favorites.  I still laugh at it, and I still wish it weren’t so damn true.  Don’t you wish that at this stage of development we were more enlightened, less envious, more accomplishing, less self-sabotaging?  Or that we could openly acknowledge where we are at, be genuinely and fully happy for the success of others, and trust that the universal abundance that exists was ours to share, that the extraordinary life of our dreams was truly within reach… like, right now?

Yeah, us too.

If there’s a disconnect between what you want–what you authentically know to be possible for you creatively and professionally–and the actual results you achieve day in and day out, then I invite you to join me and Miata on our free webcast, LIVING IN POSSIBILITY. It’s a 90-minute call that could shock you, might inspire you, and will almost certainly raise your consciousness and provoke some amazing new actions.

It’s sometimes amusing to me that here at Abundance Bound we’re in the business of teaching artists about finance, when a great deal of what we do has nothing to do with money. In fact, this seminar could easily be called, IT’S NOT ABOUT MONEY.  It’s about our emotional relationships.  It is how we feel about money, or success, or family and friends, or acting or painting or music–or whatever–that defines our world and our level of satisfaction. I don’t care whether you book one acting job or a thousand acting jobs, or paint the Sistine Chapel II, you can’t outrun your subconscious or your deep emotional paradigms. (more…)

Why Don’t We Reach Our Goals?

Goal Setting

Follow your yellow brick road...

Goal setting seems like an easy task. You sit down and write out what you want for yourself. That’s it. There’s no real magic, no excitement, just placing those ideas you’ve had for a better way to do things onto a sheet of paper. So, if it isn’t such a big deal, why do so many experts agree that the key to achieving your dreams is to begin by writing down your goals? Why do banks demand to see a business plan that details the dreams and aspirations of a company before they will loan money to an entrepreneur? Clearly, goal setting really IS a big deal. It’s a truism that’s endured the test of time:  if you want to take a trip somewhere, you can’t consult the map until you’ve decided on a destination.

So, why then don’t more people write down their goals? I’ve come to the conclusion that goal setting isn’t easy. It’s difficult. Sure, finding a good pen and sheet of paper is easy. Writing out goals is simple. I think It’s the act of choosing that’s difficult. As I’ve tried to help clients create realistic, actionable goals over the years it’s become apparent that many are afraid of the process. I think they’re afraid of committing to a finite set of actions. We know that the second our dreams are detailed on paper that somehow, cosmically we’ve taken a step toward reality, and that’s awfully scary. The other goals that we might have achieved then begin to fade into the background, something that frightens us, too. We all remember playing make-believe as a kid.  If we decided to become a firefighter we could no longer be the President, a police officer or the mail carrier. The difference between make-believe and now is that as adults we’re creating real goals, and when we decide to focus on one we realize that the others must therefore be removed or at least delayed. In short, goal setting makes us understand that we’re mortal. We can’t have it all.
