Expectation management is the key to confidence. Slow is normal.
Believe it or not, 40% of auditions never get booked or produced.
Mindset Reset:
- Imposter syndrome
- Comparison traps
- Rejection
We then ran through a confidence exercise where we examined the things that help us feel more (or less) confident in our careers. One of the factors everyone agreed helped us feel confident is preparation.
Perspective
One mindset that doesn’t serve you in your career?
One mindset that could benefit your career? Believe that people want to see you succeed.
Presence
Be present in the moment. Enjoy the slow times as much as you can.
Trust that the busier season is on the horizon.
Keep a gratitude list. You can’t be nervous or unsure when you’re grateful.
Meditate or find moments to simply breathe.
Strategy over Stress
- Audit your skills and business. Don’t judge yourself, just evaluate your strengths.
- Adjust your habits, goals and strategies accordingly.
- Act on these new goals and strategies.
Authentic Branding
You don’t have to think about who you are, you know.
What is your signature sound? Reliable, real, informative, authentic, knowledgeable, a guide.
Don’t ever be afraid to be too much.
Reads
We took turns reading one of the scripts of our choice (pictured). I recorded the audio of my read along with Kelly’s feedback and direction. I chose #3, FyreFit, which you can hear below.
