A couple of random events have converged over the last 24 hours to make me give some thought to the so called influence of ‘Luck’ on a career in the Arts. I wrapped up the show I was doing in the West End just over a week ago. This has given me a few days […]
Great Video from Molly Gordon – 5 principles for creating spaciousness, ease and prosperity in 2013
Molly Gordon is a great American coach – I recommend checking out her website and signing up for her newsletter. This is a video which she has just posted which is a really nice, succinct group of personal pledges to make going into 2013. I especially like the fifth one, to Speak Up – let people […]
Fruit Picking and Business Planning –
Start with the low hanging fruit Photo by Effervescing Elephant It’s January and the Christmas bills are starting to come in. Mother Hubbard’s cupboards are feeling a bit bare so as a freelancer it’s always the time of year where I start to worry about drumming up some more work. Sound familiar? My advice is […]
Why 90% of Resolutions Fail and the 10% Option That Actually Works
Here we are on the second of January and I bet you, like me and millions of other people, have at some point over the last few days given some thought to your ‘New Years Resolutions.’ Photo from One Way Stock I bet that list looks pretty much like the list you have drawn up […]
Holiday Greetings
Hello fellow creative entrepreneurs! I must begin by apologising for my silence the past number of months. Life sometimes throws curveballs our way – some good and some bad – and I’ve been batting all kinds of curveballs (mostly good!) for the last six months.

Keep the Faith – Believing in Your Abilities

Life Upon The Wicked Stage
It looks like I am taking to the stage. Like a fish taking to water I am excited to be ‘on the boards’ once again. It’s all come up rather suddenly (like in the past three days) and we open in two weeks’ time. So I have a lot of learning of lines and blocking […]

As I have mentioned, I’ve got work on my mind. Much of my major work over the last year has come to an end and so I am looking for some work to do over this summer. It’s not easy because I have a month long holiday in the middle of it (yeah, I know, […]
Letting Go, Moving On
