Just thinking about a creative endeavor doesn’t make it happen, at some point it’s time to actually start doing it!
The way the world is - especially now in the aftermath of a disruptive pandemic that impacted our lives tremendously - so may folks have re-evaluated their lives. Changing or leaving jobs. Re-inventing careers. Perhaps working for a boss or corporation is not tolerable anymore. All those creative ventures you fantasized about doing ‘someday’ - well for many, THAT day is here!
And now you might be faced with this: it’s easy to tell yourself or your friends that you want to change careers, or do something creative like write a children’s book, or a screenplay, or record your CD, embark on a new endeavor, or start a non-profit to save the whales - or the world.
But a career desire or daydream is a long way from being able to say, “I just finished writing the last page of my script - here it is!
It’s not uncommon to stay stuck in that fog, spin all your wheels, procrastinate, doubt yourself, and be willing to wait for that perfect time in the future to actually get your dreams and desires in motion. That red stop light holding you back won’t turn to green on its own.
Together we can get everything moving forward - starting from right now.
It takes a lot of focus, hard work & endurance to accomplish something great. Almost every successful person will tell stories about getting frustrated or discouraged along the way there. I’m here to help you maintain that focus and follow a time-lined plan. The frustrations and discouragements will still sometimes surface, but you will learn to put them in a place where they don’t derail you, and be able to deal with them in a positive way.
Don’t expect some new-agey approach. We are going to roll up our combined sleeves and do something real. I grew up in The Bronx with an edge, and then lived for years in the chilled ‘peace & love‘ land of Woodstock, NY - so I know the yin & the yang of it all pretty well.
I will push you when you need that shove, talk sense to you when you are scattered and confused, and praise and encourage you when you are doing all the right things!
Or when you just simply need some praise and encouragement, as all creative people often do.
So just get in touch with me - don’t make doing it such a big deal. I’m here - we’ll talk, and see if that collaborative chemistry is there. It most likely will be. Then we can plan together how best to proceed.
Our initial conversation will discuss your goals, desires & dreams - in relation to where you are right now. Details, logistics & emotions - they often all blend together. We’ll separate them from each other so that we can address each component individually.
Together we will create an expedited road to a defined destination. It will include a series of reachable goals. Along the way, we can add in more ambitious elements in a logical & natural way. We will work off of a reasonable and agile time-lined trajectory.
We’ll start with the initial foundational elements, so that there is something to build on. Then when every new layer is added on top of something solid, you will feel secure, empowered, able to sustain progress, and continue to experience real movement forward.
