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.

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!

Misconceptions of success - 5 Does to break misconceptions

• BBR Productions Inc : Misconceptions of success - 5 Does to break misconceptions

1. Have you ever been successful? Are you successful right this moment? Are you making a living in the position you want in life, and are you happy? If you answered “no” to any, or all, of those questions then you have no knowledge on how to become successful. Accept and change accordingly.

2. Research your field of interest. Your research should be mixed with how that field works to improve your skill. At the same time, how does the business side of your field of interest work. Knowing the ins and outs of a specific field will help greatly when It comes to finding success.

3. Think outside the box. If you are interested in being a comedian, look into how running a Donut Shop works. Or visa versa, if you own a business, look into how a famous comedian made it. In these different paths you will find similarities which will help you focus on correct necessities.

4. No matter how good you are, it is never about being the best. How you treat yourself, and people around you, is just as important as controlling your financial income/outcome and overhead. While being aware of those ideas, running a business properly creates longevity.

5. Instead of hoping to get discovered by handing your information to a person of interest the moment you meet them, begin by building friendships. This act will open up lasting relationships that a “by-product” would otherwise cancel opportunities or deter that individual(s).

Misconceptions of success – If I perform I'll be successful

• BBR Productions Inc : Misconceptions of success – If I perform I'll be successful

Entertainers believe performances could lead to fans, being discovered, selling merchandise, and a chance to tour with a headliner. This is when people start to make choices based on assumptions. Fans grow with Brand awareness. When no one is at a show, how can you build your fan-base? Why would a Headliner bring an unknown with them? What does that Brand have to offer? A Booking Agent handles tour arrangements. It could happen if a relationship is built with that headliners interest

Think outside the box. A performance could not lead to being hired for a specific job. A new teacher will not get hired because they teach already. Face-time with faculty helped build relationships to be heard or even considered for that job. This goes for any job. How does a person get a job if they are not already doing that job? Through Networking with people of note, marketing a Brand's value and Practicing said craft to be capable of completing said job.

Performing is a Give. A Give is a gift to an already established fan-base. If a Brand does not have 10,000 audience members interested in seeing a performance, then bookers will not care nor will shows / performances make a difference at that point. Think outside the box. Over time, a performer should try different things if their way is not working. Let past failures of others teach how they did or did not succeed on their own. It came down to more than performing. Network, Market, and Practice!

Misconceptions of success – Success Is Money

• BBR Productions Inc : Misconceptions of success – Success Is Money

A huge misconception of success comes in the form of money. Money might feel slightly like success, but it is an illusion. Money comes and goes with a blink of an eye. Earning income is only a quick solution to a long problem. Hours = Money: An entertainer's life, employee working to become management, situations which are all considered Recouping Income. Having a big house filled with dollar bills is more a status symbol than a sense of success.

Others might believe success is surviving life doing what they love. A person doing what they love to earn income and survive is, again, considered recouping income. Doing what they love while waking up each morning happy, that is success. Success is a state of mind. Once that state of mind is embrace anything else is very possible. If a musician wants to write songs and they are writing songs they are successful. Directors directing small web-series; successful! Doing it is success.

Why is believing money makes success an issue? Money could take over a passion's desire. There are people fighting to do what others are doing. Audience members watching bands, wishing they could be up there playing their heart out. That's success. Money vanishes. Peace will come when success is seen in action. Once that level of enlightenment has been found all other obstacles can be beaten. Longevity is about wealth. Wealth is better than money. For now, DO what drives your passion.
