RockStar:60 #16 “Changes”
“I was doing superficial comedy entertaining people who didn’t really care… And I had been doing that for the better part of 10 years when it finally dawned on me that I was in the wrong places doing the wrong things for the wrong people.” ~ George Carlin on evolving his comedy act in the early 1970′s
Sometimes it’s necessary to make changes to things that may have long been apart of who you are, but are now no longer serving you and holding you back. Success is directly proportional to your ability to endure and embrace change.
Whether it’s tweaking your act, adjusting your business approach, or revamping how you manage your relationships… the key is awareness followed by immediate action.
David Bowie built his legendary career by continually changing his look, his sound, and his approach to creatively marketing himself and his music.
Truly look at yourself inside out. Pay attention to what has, and hasn’t been working in your life up to this point. Then decide if you really want to make some changes. If your motivation for change is more about wanting to, rather than needing to, your results will be much greater.
“Turn and face the strange | Just gonna have to be a different man” ~ David Bowie
If you’re honestly in the right place, doing the right things, with the right people, for the right reasons, then commit to doing everything you can now not to screw it up. Look in the mirror, make the tough decisions, and continue making the necessary changes as needed. You really can’t afford not to.
Stay tuned-in…
