Worth in Action – Worth of perception

• BBR Productions Inc : Worth in Action – Worth of perception

Information changes a sail's wind on strong tides. Where is that information coming from? More accurately, what is the perception of that information before, during and after it is utilized? There area few ways knowledge can be attained; 1) Education from one person to another. 2) Learning through observation. 3) Taking third party hearsay and believing it. Each one on its own could lead an individual down the wrong path. Mixing and matching helps solidify fact from fiction.

Perception is a powerful tool, if it is being operated correctly. Take emotion out of this equation. Forgot for a moment that the ideas you have conjured up were figured through your own devices. Look at each side from fresh eyes. A great way to see fact from fiction is take what you perceive as helpful advice and see how it is assisting others around you. Is the perceived advice advance those who gave the advice, you, or others around you following same said advice?

The greatest success will come with what is learned, researched, and changed up to become the best version of itself. If in three years no higher ground has been reached from doing any task over and over again, something must be changed up. Becoming great at a skill is not the same as success in life. Entertainers, career people, or business, must constantly be evolving into new territory. Performing the same clubs, working the same position, still broke after three years; changed things up.

Worth in Action – List out its worth

• BBR Productions Inc : Worth in Action – List out its worth

Every action must have an equal or greater reaction, or it was for not. Time is our only commodity which cannot be replenished. A person should enjoy their life for as long as they can while doing things they love to do. This is why every action must have value behind it. Make the most of each step forward, where and when it can be done. There are options to figuring out how to make a move to do. The ever exciting Pros & Cons list is helpful. But, how about simply a “How to make it all PROS” list?

Two examples of not utilizing an action can be either in a job situation, or an event/show for a performer. In the sense of a job scenario; Wanting to be a full-time teacher only to get a job as a substitute but never taking steps to make more of that situation. Coming in when called, teaching the class then going home. Or performing an event/show; Get on stage, perform, get off say thank you and go home. What are these people getting out of it?

Make more of every action. A teacher, or any job, should utilize “temp” opportunities to network, market, and practice. Being on the inside gives chances to build and cultivate relationships. Get involved with the system/company. Market what you are doing. Finally, practice how that company's system works. Learn the politics, rules, and any information to better advance life. Same goes with a show. How can you Network, market and Practice to gain the most of that situation!?

Outside the box : Compare in & out

• BBR Productions Inc : Outside the box : Compare in & out

Is there a secret to success? Yes, it is in the pudding. More so the ingredients of that pudding. Success is a cupcake. We all love cupcakes; but to get a cupcake we can buy it, wait for someone to make it, or bake it ourselves. Each ending result is the same. You get the cupcake. But, the one baking knows all the ingredients for a delicious cupcake and thus can earn a living with that knowledge. Yet, there will always be people waiting for one to be purchased, or people willing to buy it for ease.

Buying is essentially the easiest. Unfortunately it will cost you more than money in the long run. Short cuts lead to deep cuts. With any diet, knowing how and what is in it, helps better a person's eating habits. Now, waiting for someone to buy those cupcakes could take forever. This is one way to ensure nothing gets completed in a timely manor. Control over time, money and self is through knowing the system. The process is being able to bake cupcakes yourself to get what you want when you want it.

The trick to understanding any ingredients is knowing more than what you are baking. Mastering how to bake cupcakes can make you good. Understanding how to bake other items helps with baking overall. Success in your field of interest is one part of what should be learned. Learn the system, learn the ingredients to your career. And yet, be comfortable looking into other areas of life, different careers, and skills to either master or become familiar. Every area adds to becoming successful.

Outside the box : Two brains are better than one

• BBR Productions Inc : Outside the box : Two brains are better than one

Able and willing bodies make the world go around. In life success comes to those working together. A single person can be defeated by great adversity. However, an army can overcome ridiculous odds. Life is similar in this aspect. A career, company, creative outlet, brand, these are all areas that benefit from working with one another in a unified fashion. Starting from the most simplistic form of survival, a business needs hard working employees working their specific expertise to help the company.

For a company to become more than an idea there needs to be a leader, manager, employees to help run the floor, and of course the audience (guests). That's right, they are apart of the equation of success. They are also apart of the team. They help spread the word, and get the brand out there. This is the same for a career as an entertainer. It takes a whole lot of people to make a movie, run a show, record music, and get all this out to the public. It also takes a public to care about it, just a little!

Besides knowing a team is needed, figure out who is right for your bus. This is a vehicle (of life) which must be driven till your last breath. Who would you want to ride on a bus with? There are the right people and the wrong people living in your life. Choice wisely, and know it is okay to change it up. Because your life is valuable, and you deserve to be around people who have the same ideals, and care about their purpose, as you do. People you can throw ideas around and grow with!

Outside the box : What to do

• BBR Productions Inc : Outside the box : What to do

Research, Research, Research! If there were ever anything you could learn from this blog series is Research. People starting in any field forget the importance of knowing that field. There are people working in fields for years which also do not know all the ins and outs. Successful people know the business they are in. They understand how it works, what needs to be done, and more interestingly enough they realize the power in changing the system.

They can do this because they know it so well. Memorizing a script to the point of instinct. Once that happens, an actor can play with it at will, change it, move with it. A career is the same way. The more that is known about any field of interest builds control. Jumping into a career with limited knowledge is scary. Imagine driving a car, but only knowing through word of mouth how to operate it? Worse yet, thinking there were only Automatics, then sitting in the car to a manual!?

There is a trick to the trade of knowing. Learning all there is to know about a specific field of interest is smart. In addition, learning outside that field is smarter. Bruce Lee became a master of his body by knowing more than one style of fighting. Outside of fighting, he mastered writing, movies, and other areas to become a pioneer in life. Learning more than acting in movies, he began understanding camera angles, and so on. Life is what we make of it. If we care enough about it, we will learn more.

Outside the box : Levels to success

• BBR Productions Inc : Outside the box : Levels to success

When successful people are seen as inspiration, it can, at times, distort the reality of obtaining that same level of success. What a person, company, or Brand, is doing to maintain that level of success is vastly different than what they may have accomplished to get there. Studying success starts at their failures. Where they came from / how they got there / what sacrifices were made. Seeing Metallica on top of their game is inspiring. Allow that inspiration to drive, but not direct is devastating.

Breaking down Metallica's success vs the success of a start up band. If Metallica released an album today, it would indubitably sell millions in weeks, if not days. Simply based on the draw of their brand value. They also might post on social media “Come check us out on tour!”. Which is great because fans are yearning for that information. Metallica has a huge following with a deeper desire of want for anything and everything Metallica. Thus; CD's, DVD's, Shows, Books... and even movies.

However, a Band (Company / Brand / Person) starting with no Brand Value, no Draw, and no Fans. Rule of Thumb, if less than 10,000 people are asking for your Brand, then that Brand is not ready to “sell” things. There are levels to success. Foundation; designed to ready you. First 365 Days; hard work to grow you. In The Game; making the change to maintain the gain. Living The Dream; Doing what you love for a living. Expanding; doing more than ever before! Know what needs to be accomplished!

Being A Comedian : Writing jokes

• BBR Productions Inc : Being A Comedian : Writing jokes

Things that should be in a writing kit; A recording device, pen and paper, computer (optional), an environment which is conducive to creativity, and friends (fellow comedians or regular friends). All these items make it fairly easier to get the creative flow out and into form. There is an order to every aspect of writing. However, with multiple ways to express the inner workings of a comedic mind, this is just one of many helpful ways to get an idea from brain to paper to stage.

Grab that pen and paper and start brainstorming. Write out a list of ideas in a column. Once it becomes difficult to think of more thoughts, stop. Now, go through each thought written and brainstorm on that particular thought. After brainstorming is complete, begin recording yourself riffing on the subject, words, and thoughts written all over the paper. This will give anyone a starting point. You can move around the list without going in order. Just have fun.

Now that you have recorded yourself speaking out. Begin writing down what you had said, verbatim. This will show you how your pauses, and natural speaking patterns come off. To help develop your voice. At this point, invite some friends, or fellow comedians, and work the bit out. As a group, if more than one person is telling jokes in this meeting, be comfortable with having everyone through in some creative criticism. Once you feel comfortable with the joke, try it out at a real show!

Being A Comedian : Being funny

• BBR Productions Inc : Being A Comedian : Being funny

There is writing jokes then there is being funny. At times, a comedian can be very funny but their writing skills and or time to write is limited. This is when hiring a writer to assist is useful. These writers might not be funny performers but our skillful wordsmiths. There is a path for everyone in entertainment. What our your strengths? Are you a writer, or a performer? Are you a comedian who wants to tell jokes on stage or be funny?

The biggest difference between telling jokes and “being Funny” comes down to the style. Telling jokes is a reciting process on stage. Memorizing a set up, throwing out a punchline, then possibly hitting them with a good strong tag. Depending on the joke, a call back can be thrown in there. This is a simple way of getting on stage to make an audience laugh. Anyone can tell jokes. Jokes make us laugh. That is why at parties you can tell a joke and get a chuckle to a big laugh.

What is being funny!? This is when a comedian can be on stage, tell a joke, story, idea, interact with the crowd, etc and make people laugh because they are I general, a funny person. There is mastery involved in becoming funny. Like an actor with a bad script, they still must make it work. A joke could be very bad, but a comedian being funny can turn it around. Both telling a joke and being funny are skills. Both need practice to master. Which one you want to be, comes down to your direction.

Being A Comedian : Two paths

• BBR Productions Inc : Being A Comedian : Two paths

There are two kinds of Comedians; The Hobbyist (Artist) & The Professional (Career Driven). Both have hard roads ahead of them. Both are equally passionate about what they are doing. Both also live to tell jokes and perform to get their creative juices out in front of audiences. Where they are both different is the path they decided to take. One took the path driven on by many others before them. The other comedian studied the art of the business before deciding on their craft.

Sit with a Hobbyist and their advice to becoming a successful Comedian is; Get to as many Open mics as much as possible, to work your craft. Next, write everyday and all day. Thirdly, but not last, get stage time to master your craft. This is true, these things will make you a successful Comedian performer, but it won't make anyone success at a long lasting career. Or to clarify, it will take ten to twenty years to “get your big break” doing it this way.

Then there is the path of few. This path concentrates on the power of Networking, Marketing, and Practicing. Where a Hobbyist mainly focuses on Practicing, until they are good enough in their mind, before they start marketing themselves. This business is about who you know (Networking), who knows you (Marketing), and time for you (Practicing). Even when you are not ready, making relationships as friends is more powerful than letting people know what it is you DO.

Being A Comedian : What Comedians do

• BBR Productions Inc : Being A Comedian : What Comedians do

Comedians have a lot of responsibilities to grow and maintain a career in entertainment. What is their job vs what they do; is where every performer should sit down and figure out. A comedian's job is getting their business up and running. Then, maintaining that business. Learning how to manager their time, money and people surrounding opportunities. What comedians do, well, they tell jokes. They write, they perform. These things a comedian does, but it is not their job.

A comedian's job tasks and responsibilities is required for longevity. A Comedian writing and tell jokes everyday all day will only get so far, then maintain that career for so long. It is a business after all. The idea is to look at this career as a business. As if the comedian opened up a Donut shop. No matter how good those Donuts are, if they do not know how to run a business correctly, it will fail and close. As a business owner of a life career, it is the responsibility of the comedian to know their job.

Because what they do, is write jokes and perform. This is the gift, the payment for being an amazingly hard working business person. These are the donuts a comedian can eat all day every day for keeping their doors open because there is a successfully ran business. When performing, setting up material, be an artist. Be the creative release that helps a comedian get through their day. Off stage, before the stage and after the stage, that is a business. Be successful and earn the payment of performing.

Negative thinking, seeing walls around you, are all ways of finding how NOT to accomplishing things.

Make it Daily. Consistency is critical if you want to make a habit stick. If you want to start exercising, go to the gym every day for your first thirty days. Start Simple; don’t try to completely change your life in one day. It is easy to get over-motivated and take on too much. If you wanted to study two hours a day, first make the habit to go for thirty minutes and build on that. Remind Yourself around two weeks into your commitment, it can be easy to forget.

Stay Consistent making it easier for a habit to stick. Or form a Trigger with a simple ritual you use right before executing your habit. For example; To quit smoking, practice snapping your fingers each time you felt the urge to pick up a cigarette. Be Imperfect and never expect all your attempts to change habits to be successful immediately. Remove Temptation! Write it Down on a piece of paper. Do it For Yourself. Tool your habits towards your goals and the things that motivate you.

Talent of Self : Strengths and Weaknesses

• BBR Productions Inc : Talent of Self : Strengths and Weaknesses

There are two mindsets that can take a person to another level. That level could be the next top one or to the bottom floor. A negative mind is constantly seeing how many weaknesses they might have. Or in the same aspect, a completely positive mind believing in how amazingly awesome their strengths are. Then, there is the Schooled Mind. A Schooled Mind see their weaknesses and continues to learn from them while maintaining and utilizing their Strengths to better those weaknesses.

Names : Names are important to remember. They associate value with a person. When you say “Hello Thomas” it changes your encounter. They might not remember your name, but it makes them try harder next time because you remembered theirs.

Them, always them : In any conversation listen and respond with them. People love hearing their own voice, they also enjoy being listen to respectively. But when building relationships it is about them any ways. So give them that time. You are already friends with yourself, listen to another person!

That they had inspired you. Who knows, maybe they had. Let them know! Peace in harmony lasts forever.

Networking : Interact

• BBR Productions Inc : Networking : Interact

People can get overwhelmingly busy throughout the week. Relationships can lose a lot of that connecting time. Interaction keeps a name in place. Simple interaction helps maintain and grow every relationship we as people forge. There is a great pleasure when waking up, or walking through day, and finding a small message from those we know. Saying hi is nice, but letting a person vanish in the shadows a forgotten mind is dangerous.

Social Media has become a great way to keep in touch with a growing Network Circle. Liking, commenting, sharing, even messaging people on any Social Media site from a phone makes this easy. On an eating break, or while sitting in travel (Subway, Train, Bus, Taxi), not when driving. No TEXT and drive. Emails are nice too. Or a text message! An inspirational text message out of nowhere is motivating. Who knows, it might even turn into a wonderful conversation / opportunity.

Interacting with people can be as frequent as once a week, or once a month. Too much interaction can be daunting. Keep the relationship in check based on how close that specific relationship is. Family, Friends, and even Associates have different levels of closeness. On a contact sheet, or within the phone contact profile, mark down the Relationships Strength. 1 : You know them, 2 : You know each other, 3 : Friends, 4 : Close Friends, 5 : Hangout often.

Networking : Reach out and say Hi

• BBR Productions Inc : Networking : Reach out and say Hi

A little hello can become a big opportunity. Reaching out to people we know is a great way to maintain a relationship. Lives can get busy from time to time. Letting our personal busy life get in the way could destroy hard earned relationships we have worked to cultivate. A quick hello is simple and easy and does a lot. A hello allows others to know they are being thought of. It sometimes turns into a reminder of certain subjects which lead to opportunity.

It can be more than a hello too. A motivational text, or email. A comment on some social media site. The point is, we must keep in contact with people we know. All of them: Family, Friends, and Associates. What about people we might not know? A store clerk, pizza employees at a local shop? When entering any place of business, say hello to every employee you see. This is accomplished by saying hello to groups of employees too. A hello leads to free pizza... oh, and friendships!

Acknowledging people with a Hello, a nice comment, or a basic form of interest into their lives, helps grow relationships. It is also pleasant. Learning the value of Hello leads to confidence. It opens doors for conversation. There is a joyful return on speaking with people we see each day, or for the first and last time. That return is a sense of connection. In some cases our act of social interactions brings a smile to people's faces. Be interest in being interest!

Networking : Contact List

• BBR Productions Inc : Networking : Contact List

A handy dandy list helps organize an ever growing gathering of Contacts. Place names and notes in the phone. This is a good way to keep the list close. However, sometimes the phone can break. Have two backups; A physical list, and a list on the computer. These three lists are all the same and should be continuously updated to match one another. While a list could potentially grow each day, the main source should be updated and weekly allocate that with the other two lists.

Contact sheets are powerful tools in keeping up with individuals. Marking down information which could serve as reminders. A nice trick is to track out how often a specific contact was interacted with. Another nice trick for the contact sheet is marketing down known and unknown contacts. While doing research there can be potential contacts to add to the list which have never been met before. All these are bonus actions keeping any person above the water and breathing in success!

To start a Contact List, begin with small baby steps. Take the first ten names and numbers from the phone and place them into the sheet. Each week grab another ten until the list is completed with phone entries. Once everything is up to date, maintaining that list is fairly easy and greatly manageable. Keep these lists organized. Set up categories by building templates with spreadsheets. If this is an issue of time and management; hire a person, or company to handle this workload.

Networking : How big is your circles

• BBR Productions Inc : Networking : How big is your circles

Every person in this world has three networking circles; Family, Friends, and Associates. Family are made through a birthright. Friends are earned and at times become family. Associates are people we work with, see on our daily rounds through life. They could also be known through others, but not our friends, just friendly. These three groups make up a Life Circle. Each Networking Circle carries with it the same value. What is different? The relationships themselves.

These circles must be grown and cultivated. Every person we meet in life has value. We never know who they truly are, or who they know: Or what they might become in life. Growing relationships to use them is a bad habit to build. Instead, grow these relationships to utilize a system of sharing and returning the gift of unity! Each person within these groups can influence steps up a mountainside. Some are more prone to knock down walls when needed.

Life without others is a lonely life hidden in an empty world. Keep finding new people to befriend. Even family that might be lost to distance, or friends of friends. Everyone we meet is important, as each person they meet can become a friend. Build these circles with Associates to turn them into Friends for life. As life turns our closest Friends into Family. Blood will always be thicker than water. Even if it is a friendship turned family!
