Channel Title: David H. Lawrence XVII Channel Description: <video> 13210: Your 14,787-Step Plan For Success Description: Hey there, hero! Listen or watch this episode for an actual ONE step plan to avoid oversimplifying the clickbait options you find online on your way to success: Don't be sucked into the apparent secret sauce of a overly simple plan to ultimate success. I try not to make the "overpromise/underdeliver" mistake when I share things with you, but I can't control what you see in your social feeds. It's rarely as simple as the ads make it sound...whatever it is you're trying to do. What are your thoughts on course correction and honing and refining and what actually constitutes a "step"? Let me know in the comments below.

When you get ready to do something new, what wells up inside you emotionally? Is there fear? Being scared? Or is there electricity? Being excited? And how does that affect how you approach it? The two will likely co-exist in a sweet spot: instead of being so scared that I am immobilized, I'm...cautious. And instead of being so excited that I ignore taking reasonable steps and precautions to maximize success...I'm jacked and happy. And it feeds me from both directions. What about you? How does it feel when you face tackling something new? Scary? Exciting? Treacherous? A bit embarrassed? Some combination of those? Does it depend how different it is from what you're doing now?

Description: Hey there, hero! Do you get the number of auditions you want? On-camera, VO, whatever. You good? Or do you constantly pursue more? Is growing your audition stream an endless pursuit? The highest priority? I think everyone is different. And there's a trend in business that informs this. It's variously called "10X-ing," "adding zeroes," and "blowing things up." Whatevs. I don't personally want more auditions than I am getting now - I'm good with my current level. But some people would question why I'm not pushing like crazy to "10X my business." I'm good. I feel like I'm at just the right level. I don't need more. But that's me. What about you? Is the size of your [show] business a metric for your success? Your self-worth and self-image? With "bigger" equal to "better," and that you will never have enough opportunities? How to do you feel about your level of opportunities? What pressure do you feel? What would ultimately make you happy? Let me know in the comments below.

We're all on a pursuit. A pursuit of the performance arts career we want: acting, VO, writing and more. And we often look to those who have "made it" for guidance. How did they get success? Great question. But I think a better question would be about how they handled rejection. That skill can be really useful, as rejection is inevitable and is far more common than success. So let's give a listen to how Stephen King, Maya Angelou, Jack Canfield, Harper Lee and a few other superstar writers felt about, and handled, rejection. How to you react when you don't hear back after an audition or submission? Did anything you heard in the episode help? Let me know in the comments below.

As we look at things we need to get done, we get an idea WHEN we need to get those things done, what we need to prepare... ...and when we aren't ready yet to do anything just yet. And a simple shift in your activity timeline can be really effective. Your assumption as to when to do something might be just perfect. And it also might be an assumption that holds you back from getting things done, just because you've arranged things in an order that initially makes sense to you. You think, "I've got to do this...before I can do that." And that might just be...wrong. Take a moment to consider the possibility that you're more capable than you think and you don't need to wait. And of course, you can always change and rearrange you tasks to suit your situation. Do you give much thought to the order of things? What comes first, next and last? Could things be in better order?

Wait, Wait...What? Description: Hey there, hero! Sometimes, words come together to describe things that you don't expect. In a recent session with a coaching peer, she declared: "Every thing is everything." I tried to process that, and she gave me some assistance. What she meant was that as creatives, every thing we learn as performers in ANY category of work helps to build everything we do as actors and voice talent in ALL categories. In other words, if you get better at something in one area, it's going to help you be better at that thing in all areas. Example: if you learn to control and influence your vocal volume on camera, you'll be better at that vocal work on stage, and in the voice booth. Another: if you learn to give yourself permission to be less forced and more casual with your lines in a commercial (because it serves the story), you'll be able to pull off that same move in an audiobook or a video game. (We build a whole course around this concept in VOHeroes Pro, called Mutual Muscles. It's powerful stuff.) After you watch this episode, would you agree? Have you found this to be true? Has it helped you be a better actor? Let me know in the comments below.

Description: Hey there, hero! We work really hard to create stuff. Really great stuff. And after a while, we tend to forget just how valuable that stuff is. And...in addition...how valuable our superpower, creating great stuff, actually is. This episode is dedicated to reminding you that your output is your product. Your books, your TV shows, your podcast episodes, your films, your audiobook titles...they are all worth remembering in your plans for both holiday promotion and promotion at other times during the year. What products have you created (or helped to create) that are worth reminding your audience about? Feel free to post links to the things you want to promote in the comments below.

I'm well aware of at least one thing: I talk too much. Believe me, it's a challenge I've faced all my life. And I actively want to listen better. Listen actively. Not just wait for others to stop talking so I can start. I look for non-verbal clues to remind myself to listen...rather than talk. And to listen is to be open to hearing what the other person is saying... ...meaning one has to be silent to be able to listen. And of all things, a kid's TV dinner from my childhood sprang to mind. Once you hear the connection, does it all make sense? Can you use this as a reminder? Or do you not need my level of mental crutch? And are you old enough to remember the Libby's commercial??

When things don't pan out for us, we want to know why. And sometimes, we simply tell ourselves stories...when we usually shouldn't. We want to have things make sense, and so if we don't know exactly why something happens, good or bad, we might make things up. Especially when we don't "get the gig." As humans, we want - no, NEED - to know why (so we can fix things, or at the very least, not repeat the defeat). And so, if we don't have actual facts as to why things went south, we might instead make things up. And if we do that enough, that made up stuff starts to sound an awful lot like fact. And it's not. And I give you an alternative for you that short circuits the potential for what you made up in your mind becoming as believable as a fact might be. What do you tell yourself when you don't book it? Is it supportive or constructive? Let me know in the comments below.
