As an icebreaker, I frequently ask people - what would you do if you won the lottery? People give answers that reflect what they would do if there were no constraints or demands put on their time, location or finances This is where people describe their visionary work, OR the downtime things they would do to feel free, relaxed. My question is - ok so why not do it anyway? We assume we have constraints, and that money or some other windfall is an obstacle to getting started. You can get started with 10 dollars and 10 minutes - probably even less I’ve noticed that when you approach the world with a service mindset, things like money and time tend to get sorted out at exactly the right moment You need to trust in the importance of your dreams, and how working on your dream goals attracts the right help and opportunity into your life - simply because your passion will be infectious…

This happens more than you think It’s important not to measure success against big league players that you’re trying to model. This takes a while, and there’s no such thing as overnight success The best thing you can do is change your approach - experiment with new techniques. The worst thing you can do is change your style, your vision, your unique offering. Find small successes along the way to validate and inspire you. You have to be comfortable with hustle.…

Although we’d like to believe that we have what it takes, sometimes we worry that we’re going to be seen as ‘arrogant’, over-confident or full of ourselves. This alone can keep us from starting. What’s the difference between confidence and arrogance and how can you build the former without seeming like the latter? Limiting Beliefs - concepts of what we are capable of are limited by our fears, which talk to us in sentences that start with ‘you can’t’. Believing in the information to the contrary Arrogance - belief in your abilities and entitlements in ignorance of external information to the contrary Confidence - belief in your abilities and entitlements even in light of external information to the contrary Both limiting beliefs and arrogance can only be destroyed one way - through experience and reflection. The initial spark of belief that surrounds arrogance is important for overcoming limiting beliefs though.…

There are two kinds of habits: good ones and bad ones. So often, we focus on the bad ones that we need to break, but how often do we take the time to focus on the good habits that we have integrated or need to integrate to continuously move us forward? You have to have a habit of having habits :-) Create a prioritized list of of habits you want to have (come on, you know what they are). They could be mindset habits or actual practices Take on no more than 2 or 3 at a time - it could take a few months to habitualize them Make sure your habits roll up to achieving a larger goal, like increasing your audience or revenue.…

People who achieve everything they set out to do in life are masters of protecting their time. How do they do it? Time is the only thing you can’t reclaim once its been spent Protecting your time is your right and your duty. You must actively and continuously monitor and protect it as you would any priceless resource The biggest challenge is changing your mindset about time. You own your time, no matter where you work or who you have in your life. Only you can dictate how it is spent.

If you’re making time for creativity, but you find yourself unfocused and unable to stay with it…there are some things that can help. I’m going to keep hammering this one - you have to set aside time To avoid intimidation, set a short timer Set an intention. What is the most important thing to finish in this time slice? Make sure it is in support of the Most Valuable Thing - what will get your product ready to market? What will get you an audition? What will establish you as a professional? What will increase your audience? Don’t worry about right-sizing the timer for the intention. If 10 minutes is too much or too little, fix it later. Adjust the timer or the scope of your intention. Keep your mind focused. If you notice yourself taking on sub tasks or side tasks. Stop. Make a note of them and prioritize and do them LATER Stay vigilant. Meditation can help you notice when you’re going off the rails.…

We all know about the paralysis caused by waiting for the right moment in the right conditions. So why do we continue to do it, and how can we stop? It’s normal, from an evolutionary/survival perspective, to want safety and certainty The need for certainty and safety, however, prevents us taking risks and moving forward boldly - two essential behaviours for artists and entrepreneurs We associate lack of safety - in all its forms - with danger, and that fear paralyzes us; making it extremely difficult to break this pattern. Breaking the patter requires a mindset shift - realize how expensive these desires and fears are. Then take small but meaningful steps to provide yourself with proof that nothing bad will happen if you move forward without absolute certainty and safety.…

But there are times when inspiration just hits. Are there things you can do that create fertile ground for inspiration? There are….and they exist in the everyday. You have to make time and clear space in your head. You have to be ready to receive Then, you have to put yourself in situations and conditions where inspiring things are likely to be or to happen Get into nature, listen to conversations, imagine yourself in someone else’s life, especially the watershed moments.

Today's episode is an impromptu musing on the state of coaching, for those of you who feel like you might benefit from it, or are yourselves in the coaching business. in many ways, its a bit like being a therapist. People should find a good coach that is a balance of engaged and removed, that specializes in or can tailor an action plan to your particular learning style, and that they trust and like. Once you've found that, I love to see clients eat up the learning. So often, I take for granted what I've learned, how far I've come personally, and how hard I've worked for the success I have. I forget what it's like to be new; to have your eyes opened to a world of limitless potential. But sometimes, it just doesn't happen that way. What continues to surprise me is how often people dive in, seem committed, seem ready to make a serious mark in the world...and then just fade away from the teaching. It makes me think that perhaps coaching is a nonsense profession...but then I remember that we have always had elders, mentors, jedi masters...people who pass down the wisdom accumulated from a life of disciplined practice. This is meaningful work for me, and its hard to accept that sometimes, people just aren't ready. They are not yet willing to commit to the time and effort it takes to transform. I'll never forget my public school teacher, Gerald Smialek, who taught us kids the phrase "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink". That continues to reveal layers of meaning to me, even to this day. Enjoy the episode. I hope you're learning lots and enjoying the journey!…

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I’m big on service. To review, service is the thing that validates your vision. Without service, a vision can be nothing more than a wishlist….a catalog of benefits that only accrue to you. Service ensures that you know exactly who your vision serves, how, and most importantly, why. So how do I figure out what that is if I’m just an ordinary, everyday person? That’s this week on the Fuse Chamber Podcast. There’s nothing extraordinary about service. If you don’t think you serve, try looking at your customers differently It’s important to figure out how you serve - there’s something about the selfless act that makes success more more easily available…

I used to be one of those people who struggled with consistent creativity. You’ve heard me repeat that the secret to having good ideas is to have lots of them….so I prefer to take the disciplined work approach to getting a reliable creativity flow. You can either work on ‘inspiration’ at scheduled times and groom the pile for the useful bits later. You can also wait for inspiration to show up - but this method rarely produces any meaningful volume or consistency of output Remember to surround yourself with inspiration before your writing ritual Also, have a convenient way to capture notes whether you’re in bed, in the car, or in a lineup The real secret is to stay disciplined.

I want to do more. To be more. I get the feeling that maybe I could, or just that I should try to live a life more in line with my passions and principles. But I can literally feel myself getting in my own way. It’s like watching a movie of myself - I see it happening, I know its not good, but I do it anyway. What’s going on? Routines are the things we do automatically, without conscious thought Most routines are behaviours or thought patterns that we used to have to think about, but have tucked out of sight of the conscious mind and allow them to go on autopilot The human brain has tremendous capacity for this and allows us to perform a great many tasks without having to spend our valuable mental energy on them However, the downside is that some routines are bad for us - and the brain doesn’t really know the difference Unfortunately, we run these routines without questioning them so we don’t always know they exist and act against our self-interest The best way to identify negative routines is to run down a list of common ones and see if any sound familiar. You might be running these. There’s nothing wrong with running routines - the brain needs to do that - but its important to figure out what beliefs caused you to install negative routines, change the belief so you can short-circuit and eliminate the pattern…

An artist is committed, heart and soul, to the work. So I have to quit my day job now right? You have to starve to create right? You have to be committed full time - 8+ hours per day, right? Times are changing. There aren’t as many ‘full time salaries’ for artists anymore. You have to balance work that pays the bills with work that feeds the soul Nothing says you have to work for a big corporation doing a business-y job though. You could easily start your own small business Your business could be related to your art, or not, but it must be some you LOVE doing (must be related to your vision and purpose) The bad news - if you’re just getting started, expect that you now have three jobs - your day job, your side job, and your art. You have to keep the first one until the side job and art career take off enough to provide sustainable income. That can take years The good news - doing things you’re passionate about helps fuel and refresh you. If you choose correctly, you won’t burn out Don’t ever make a choice based on money or fame.
