What did you create in 2012?

I named 2012, “The Year of Creation,” because it became clear to me that if you’ve gotten to age 25 without being “discovered” your best bet was to create something yourself… something that showcases you in exactly the best light.

-Create a one-person show

-Write and produce a short film

-Write a pilot, and shoot a sizzle reel

-Do some open-mic standup comedy

-Join a long-form improve team

-Create a show to host, and post it on youtube

    and the list goes on...

There are concrete ways to reach these goals.  Take a look at these resources…

•Gotham Writers’ Workshop

•The one-person show class at The Peoples Improv Theatre

•Classes at The Upright Citizens Brigade

•StandUp classes at Carolines

And that's just a few.  Hey, with a phone that takes video, and an internet connection - you're live!

So, what's stopping you?

If the process seems too large, and the task too daunting - ask friends for help.  Get an accountability partner.  People are shockingly willing to work for free.

It's fear that stops us from doing these things.  Be your own Marketing Coach.  Wouldn't you push yourself toward creation?

Good luck in 2013, folks.  And keep working hard!!!
