Tip of the Day #12!
Being focused to get to the goal.
Okay, I hear a lot of what I call "Spray and Pray." It's when someone is not sure of what they want, or are afraid to commit 110% to what they want, so they put effort out on multiple fronts and don't really get done what they set out to get done because their efforts are spread to thin.
Take the time to pick a focus and a goal. I'm not saying you can't take a side road and go off on an adventure in your career. What I am saying is if you want to either be performing on Broadway, have a show on Broadway, Design a show on Broadway, or Produce on Broadway....pick a lane to start in as your goal. Other opportunities will show up!
Think about this, if you want to perform on Broadway, then where do you fit the Broadway Landscape? Meaning, what roles are out there that it would easy for you to slide into?
If you're a writer, looking to write on Broadway....are you looking to create a commercial show or is there a Broadway non-profit you'd prefer to work with? If so when choosing what stories to pursue writing and rewriting, this should be something you think about.
If you're a producer, are you looking to produce shows that you think are commercial and will have good ROI, or that are artistic and may not have good ROI? Do your investors care if they loose their money? Are they doing this for the ROI or the experience? Which investors do you rather have? (Keep in mind you as a co-producer or associate producer only make money if the show Recoups -- Did that just change how you're thinking about this right now?)
A goal helps bring everything into focus....definitely go off on career adventures....in the meantime, start with a clear defined goal, and you'll have North Star to set your compass upon today.
I'd love to hear your answers in the chat, and more questions.
