The Ram will break through

Work work work; That is what my life has become? It's all good. Focusing on my SMART Goals is where I have to find my motivation. I have many small things that need to be done to get these larger goals off the ground. On the Tenth of this month I will officially be responsible for a new 3,800 square foot building filled with a theater area and some offices. I have a play I wrote that will be performed in December, and I am working on bringing my “Make A Right Left Here TV” show back to life. Though this time I am thinking of just doing it twice a month and prerecording it. Either way, I know I have a lot of my table. That's the life of an Aries.

Aries the mighty RAM! It's a trait that most Aries have in common. We say yes to anything that comes our way. We feel obligated to life to continue doing things. For when we are standing still we feel useless and without worth. I feel better when I am completing moments in my life. I remember when I use to work a normal job, in fact, I remember when I use to work three normal jobs all at one time. Never again! It was always the same thing and nothing ever felt accomplished. I worked for another person / company, and I could only do as I was told. Most of the time stocking, renting, or even selling equipment to people. I accomplish things now.

I turned my life around and starting making things happen by making things happen. When it comes to my life I also keep in mind 3 simple things. Network, Market, and Practice. I keep people in my life as best I can. I let people know I exist and that I am doing things. I do what I can to keep my skills up to par. Most importantly I remember to always help those searching for opportunities. I do this because of a quote I heard when I was younger.

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. We need not wait to see what others do.” ~ Gandhi

I was taken advantage of by the industry known as business when I was young. I changed all that by learning the business side of things. I also studied people, life and started taking in any knowledge I could hear, read, see. Most importantly, I started helping those who wished for it. I always thought if someone helped me I would have learned quicker, or been able to take on more. Or have gotten further than I am now. The truth is, you don't need help. You just need to do. Become the action. Some fear this action. I create action by opening doors. I feel, if I help some, more will help others. The action of an Aries is to take lead when there is no leadership presented.

So, my one year adventure starts right here!

• 06.01.11 Opened the BBR Productions Inc., office in Miller Place. Made some great connections and started pushing forward. Got to work with everyone from www.Maryrd.com to Stan Lee of Marvel Comics. I had even became best friends with www.Stoneycomic.com also known as Stoney! Meeting him changed both our lives. (met him in 2007 while doing comedy). We grew over this year and I owe a lot to him. He gave me a voice to express my self, but most of all he trusted me to be an ear for him.

• 06.01.12 A year later a script I was working on since 2011 got an opportunity. That script got noticed by some people in L.A. They are interested. My friend Stoney made that possible (Networking), my talent made writing the script even more possible (Practice). The help of www.KatrinaPerkins.com in the read through smooth out the voice of my writing. (Networking). Having Stoney know who I was and what I had been working on (Marketing), got me the chance to hand in my work to people searching for what I was writing.

• 08.10.12 Two months after our one year anniversary we are closing our 1,000 square foot office in Miller Place and moving to a 3,800 square foot building in Holbrook. (Asset : Business) We'll have two things I've always wanted for a company; 1) A stage that I can help people get their performances on by bringing opportunity to people, and 2) a place any person(s) could walk into and have their lives changed forever. A one stop shop of possibilities. This again is thanks to Stoney. A mutual friend was introduced to me a year ago through Stoney, and now that friend and I are working together to bring reality to this dream. (Networking)

I tell everyone it takes a year to become successful if you work at it because you care about it. You must work 365 days a year for this. The help of people around you will help you get to the top. Working together that is. And making sure your name is out there so people know you exist. I don't make this stuff up. I Network and cultivate relationships because growth comes in unity among people. I marketed my name, company and what I do everywhere to help secure my brand into people's minds. Finally, I practiced everyday. I practiced my skills everyday and of course I practiced Networking and Marketing.

PS. It takes 5 years to earn wealth in what you are doing and 10 years to be wealthy. I'll write a follow up to this in 4 more years. Where will I be? Will you follow me? Or better yet, will you be right next to me bringing your dreams to reality?!!! Now, go make things happen by making things happen.

Another Chapter part 3

Where to begin? How about the year I started to focus all my knowledge into one purpose; To succeed. It takes one year to become successful at anything you do. As long as you are working that year 365 days while doing some form of Networking, Marketing, and Practice; both of your skill/craft and to better your Networking and Marketing ability. With that said, let me give you a little insight to what I am talking about through explaining what it is I have done over one full year.

Research, Research, Research!!! This is as important as the 3 needs of success. I wanted to take my company www.BBRProductions.com seriously this time round. Why? Because it deserved it. Plus, it is 1 of 8 assets I owned. I am passionate about assets, they generate wealth. Anyway... So a quick understanding of what I did when I finally got back to New York. Keep in mind, when I moved back to NY on the first of January, I did everything I am about to say in less than 6 months. Rule of thumb, doing is the hardest thing to do... so make things happen by making things happen.

• 02.10.11 (-ish) asked a friend to help me build my company up. You need 3 things in any venture, or business; A) The Entrepreneur (this is the money person, or developer of roads), B) The Talent (Idea persons, passion of the company, the go getter), and C) The Manager (Handles the money, business side of things and delegates). I was all three, I needed help (networking), so I called a friend I knew since 1999. He became The Manager. Opened bank accounts and the such. I continued to be The Talent, got us clients.

Still needed the Entrepreneur... So I was that two... over the year, I became all three again. Pointing fingers gets nothing done. Doing is the hardest thing to do... so make things happen by making things happen.

Another Chapter part 2

Last you read; I was living in Florida working my butt off.

• 04.20.10 (give or take) Lived in Florida doing comedy, mostly networking with people while practicing the craft of comedy. Mostly worked on public speaking by being on stage as much as I could in my spare time. Handed out all my www.MakeARightLeftHere.com tee-shirts (marketing) and continued to handout cards when and where I could.

BUT...

Where did I really start? I started in business entertainment. Art was my major in life. I studied it, the craft. I got my name out there and worked a little. I fell out of love with it when I discovered words and music. I began my second quest of life creating songs for a band that became TENEbRAE. That was Florida 1996! Wow, insanity. Moved to New York in the summer of 1997 and met my then best friend Dan Rhodus. TENEbRAE had a life all its own at that point.

In the year 2007 I left TENEbRAE, was told I may be dying of a brain tumor by some doctor trying to figure out what was causing all my personal health issues. It turned out to be something else, but I had a list made up in the time I was “dying”. I created a bucket list. When I got the okay I started making things happen. I began pushing my company as much as I could. It was my main source of income. When work was slow I got a part-time job (in a field that helped me learn a skill to better my networking and/or marketing ability).

Another thing I did in that time was complete many things on my list in a matter of years. 2007 till 2010 I got into acting, comedy and even recorded a full length album with my new band www.Altayon.com in which I still do to this day. Then, in 2010 my father got sick. I let everything fall to my side and ran to Florida. For two reasons. I needed to be there with him (just in case anything stupid happened) and also to get my life focused. I had spent 3 years working on my bucket list, and here was my dad unable to. Made me think, a lot.

Made me focus on something I had in my hands the whole time. Possibilities!!!

And...

• 01.01.11 Moved back to New York, rented a nice apartment and started setting my plan into motion. Rebuilding my company www.BBRProductions.com by placing all I've done, in my 15 plus years, and getting my life back on track.

Another Chapter - Part 1

Another Chapter - Part 1

Wednesday, August 25 2010 ; Working an open mic night... this is where my Journal started. The first entry into the “Traveling Adventures of a Resilient Entertainer” began. Where am I from all those months ago. It just so happens to be a little less than two years ago. What have I been doing correctly, or incorrectly these last two years? First, we are always doing things correctly. Even when you fail, or mess up on something you are learning. Doing is always correct!

I've pushed my theories, strategies, and always stood by my opinions. Never faltering from who I was, who I AM. My job in life is to study success. I've done this for over 15 plus years. Worked hard to make something of my bands, comedy career, acting, writing and more. My goal was to give you an insight into who you want to be in this life. I'm always pushing people to think outside the box. Be more than what society has given you the impression you must be. Life is yours. Embrace it and become what you dream of being.

Where I am and how I got here is simply a guideline to endless possibilities. I started this blog when I was in Florida living a life near my father, who at the time was sick. He got better, I moved back to NY and here I am today. I was really pushing my comedy while out there in the sunny state, but I was doing more than that. I was understanding people through my 3 needs of success; Networking, Marketing, and Practice. Where am I today? That's a long story in and of itself...

Unity?

Unity?

The joy of acting is tarnished by the ego of an actor. I entertain because it brings me joy. I am doing something that others wish they had the guts to do; get up on stage and perform. It is hard, even for me, to get in front of people and just do what it is you are there to do. We are a part of something bigger than actors. We are a part of a world that was created hundreds of years ago. The art of performing started at the time of life of course, but follow me here. We are just people doing a job? Nah, we are people doing something we love to do. Yet, there are people in this business that don't realize this, or have forgotten the joy of performing.

A thing that seems to be forgotten is that one simple fundamental. An actor is the least important part in any play. I am not saying actors... but the actors. For example; the script, the words are more important than anything else, then the stage, then the audience... then the actors. The script is the script, it never changes. You may alter it, but it is still the context of the story. It starts and ends with a meaning. A stage can change from place to place, big or small or sometimes none at all. Oh, and your audience, I've seen them gone and far between or a room packed from wall to wall. But what I have noticed is more than anything is an actor is just filling in a role that will be replaced time in and time again.

Unity, we are here to make something beautiful. We are here to have fun. We are here to bring an audience a memory for eternity. We are here to bring life to words placed on paper. We are here to honor all those before us who have touched a stage for this play or another. For the respect of its author, or the director giving us a chance to represent their vision. We are given a gift of a gift to be the performers we wished we could always be. Working with one another and not against one another. It saddens me when I am around people who just “are so much better than everyone else”. I am a person who will die. I will, I promise you, it happens. We all leave. But our voice is left behind in the memories of people, our actions and how we touched the world will be echoing forever.

All I want to do is have fun. I will not allow someone, or thing, to take that away from me again. When we do not work together in unity, we take away that fun. No one is bigger than the script, the story, the play!
