Ryan Lock/Marysia Podcast coaching session 6 “Look at the cold hard facts of why you have a great product & noone is buying it.Plus stop shoulding all over yourself”
In this Sixth coaching session podcast Ryan continues to coach me on how to market myself and my work, achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and tackle my limiting beliefs and overcome procrastination.
Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript)
We talk about the beginning of autumn and back to school. This is a great time to set big goals as we all are ready to ‘get back to school’, we have had summer to rest and have fun.
Ask what do you need to learn now to forward your creative careers? What do you need to learn to help you get there?
Set up goals and how best to set up your daily work ethic. The more we can schedule self care, exercise and time to create, then we can really move things.
Also focus
People can be very busy doing things that do not get them jobs or income.
Look at your schedule, are you actively got time to write X letters per week to get work, to meet casting directors, networking.
The definition of networking ‘ who knows who you are and what you do’
It is easy to talk about how busy you are but Ryan asks what are the end results. If none of the things you are doing are not bringing in work or results. Busy-ness is not necessarily productive.
You can be busy writing your book but not doing any marketing to sell the last one
Freelancers should be spending 25% of their time looking for their next job, this is something I got from a FEU workshop.
I need to either do a day a week working on the marketing or 25% of each day.
Ryan says ‘you market now to get results in 6 months, you can’t expect instant results’
Ryan says a lot of his clients say ‘I have done this amazing thing but not many people are looking at it” . It is very important to make marketing a priority, the first strategy is make promotion a priority. In the coaching world people will read your material for 3-6 months before buying material.
If you are stuck and not getting the results you want, look at black and white cold hard facts and ask ‘How much are you actually marketing?’
Working smarter not harder and study really helps there, we need often new techniques or to get better.
I am realising how I need to keep moving in a mental space. I am having new projects moving in, I need to rest and yet I have stopped working on my Londontown track.
I now feel I have a stone that is no longer rolling, it is easier to push one that is moving, I am not pushing that creative project and I need to minimise my sense of guilt.
Ryan says in an ideal world I would be able to focus 100%, and work 24 hours a day but it is not possible and very important to replace a sense of guilt with an awareness that my song is still applicable to market and sell, nothing had disappeared.
I have been clearer with saying no to some people, although I have yet to say to people ‘sorry I cant help as I need some me time!’
On self care I am back down the gym, taking my script onto the treadmill. So I use the focused time without Facebooking to learn my script whilst doing cardio.
I have also stopped blogging and podcasting late at night and getting off the internet at a reasonable time.
What does the word ‘should’ mean – Ryan has a module ‘Stop shoulding all over yourself’
He says the word ‘should’ makes you or another creative wrong, a quote by Louise Hay – she gets you to make a should list and replace it with either ‘I choose to’ or ‘I could chose to do it if I want to’
If you are going to do affirmations, it is really important for you to use words that your brain recognises, so not alien language or terms. Ryan says he never has heard the word ‘should; used in a positive sense.
I quote Georgina Sowerby who says if you have the word ‘should’ in a sentence, it means you need to find another way of doing it. Podcast int[...]

Seven Ways to feel good, more beautiful and strong inspired by the DOVE Real Beauty Sketches ad.
The podcast has all the full details on but these show notes are for quick reference. Learn how to find yourself irresistible, fall in love with yourself and from there the world will be a better place for yourself and others.
Thus you will be able to create from a place of joy and freedom. As Liz Ranken said in our interview, you have to get the ego out of the way and let the work come through.
So first thing in the morning do the following 5 tips at least (should take you about 5 mins max), ideally get Tips 6 and 7 done too!
First Tip Think specifically of one part of you that is beautiful and/or strong, your boobs, biceps, skin.
Second Tip Find one specific thing you are grateful for regards your physical health and well being eg I can bend down and tie my shoe laces. Be positive!
Third Tip Pick a specific spiritual or human to human positive thing you did yesterday for example “I was really kind to X, even though she always seem to have exactly the same problems with men, I listened and was compassionate”, or “I was honest and clear with her about her choices of consistently unavailable men”
Tip Four On a creative aspect or in work and life think of something you are proud of. ‘I struggled to get my degree but I got it’, ‘I made a phone call I didn’t want to’, ‘I paid off and closed my credit card’.
Tip Five Glen Walford reminded me of this technique with her own special twist to it. She is a great director and actress and among her many theatre productions she has directed some of Willy Russell’s plays including Shirley Valentine with Meera Syal that I saw and loved. She is an amazing director and creative who really reminded me of why I want to act, and can bring out things in you you had forgotten were there
Stand in the room and say from a place of truth ‘I am very beautiful’ and believe it three times
Then “I am very powerful” three times
Then mix them up, feel how your words change how you stand and feel, how the energy in the room changes as does how we change how we feel.
Water Crystal Research and Interview (from 13.00)by Dr Masaro Emotu
Everything in existence vibrates – see the crystal move to different kinds of music. Even exposure to negative written words (23.00) is amazing to see in water crystals.
Some quick graphic clips on his research youtube on this
Tip Six Daily Exercise, ideally first thing in the morning, even 15 minutes or a lunchtime walk to the shops
Tip Seven Accept a thank you or a compliment with grace.
Minimum Seven days, ideally a month of doing this every day.
Just remember someone has looked at you and thought about you that you are beautiful and strong, as a child a teenager, as a grown person.
The weekly tracking – Yours and mine
This podcast newsletter sets a 13 minute creative exercise and then our weekly tracking where I encourage you to do an end of week think back on what has been done, produced, worked on, booked and paid for creatively. (I don’t mean you are doing ‘creative accounting”!)
Whether you are a full time painter or a 40 hours a week office administrator who sings on the side, this is to encourage you to keep creating and make the world a better place, one song, poem, piece of art at a time.
The following is what we need to track each week as a look back in brief, full explanations are in the podcast is here
How many CV’s and emails did you send out for creative work?
How many creative jobs did you actually do, whether 8 shows a week, a gallery opening or a song in a children hospice?
How many auditions and meetings for creative projects?
How many classes and workshops did you do?
How much practise done that week, how much each day?
How much money made through your creative pursuits?
What marketing of your creative output did you do and what revenue generation plans put in place?
Did you lea[...]

Liz Ranken is a friend of mine, but yet again when I start to delve into the backstory and processes of my successful creative friends I am always amazed by their focus and achievements but most of all, their unrelenting focus forward on creating no matter what happens.
Liz Ranken, RSC/DV8/Shared Experience Movement Director, painter (@nationalportraitgallery), yoga queen vine.co/v/bUgFDKerVhF
— Marysia Trembecka (@MarysiaT) April 19, 2013
Liz Ranken is among many things
-a RSC Associate Artiste. Imagine getting a letter from the Royal Shakespeare Company saying ‘I hope you consider the RSC a good creative home for your work’
– Movement Director over 50 RSC Productions
A Portrait Artist. Her painting of Michael Boyd is in the Portrait Collection of the RSC and the archive at the National Portrait Gallery, despite starting painting for the first time since school while Movement Directing at the RSC.
Associate Artiste at Shared Experience
Having given up the arts at school and then started taking ballet lessons while reading biology she went to become a Physical Theatre Performer and Choreographer in Award winning groundbreaking DV8 ’My Body Your Body’ & ‘Deep End’ and with Shared Experience in such shows as ‘Mill On The Floss’
Asthanga Yoga queen
Some links to DV8
DV8 Deep End that Liz did
DV8 Your Body My Body
These are some pictures she has done of Patrick Robinson who is a very established actor. He was cast as understudy for Romeo for the RSC in 1980 as landmark casting and has had a 24 year span in ‘Casualty’. He also had great success in BBC ‘Strictly Come Dancing in December 2014 getting to the last five.
The big take away from this is
“Just do it don’t care what anyone says. If it feels like a passion just do it cos you get better by doing it. Go with repetition and try something again and again or in different ways but you learn by repetition”
She shares
Tips on believing in yourself & your creativity
“Just do it .. be driven by the spiritual’,
Write affirmations before starting your work eg “I paint to my highest level so I might serve and inspire humanity’
“ I do 25 affirmations before i do anything.”
“Whenever i don’t do the affirmations the difference is huge. it’s the ego thats stops so many of us, and sabotaging our work.”
These affirmations settle the ego down and bring her higher being up into more elevated state and in the bliss of the moment
“Failure… i dont read reviews.”

Hi this is Marysia at loveyourcreativity.com, this podcast interview is with Liz Ranken who is an everything, a movement director, a painter, a physical theatre practioner, a writer. Not only does she create in many ways but she’s also hugely successful in all of these areas. One of her paintings is in the National Portrait Gallery. She has worked at over fifty productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company and has been involved in huge amounts of ground breaking theatre and dance work in the UK. She really is legendary and wonderful. She talks about all of this in this podcast and her spiritual practice, how she really gets her ego out of the way, how she has explored doing affirmations and proper physical and spiritual warm up before she starts work which has had a huge impact on her ability to create.
Her big takeaway that she keeps coming back to is “just do it, don’t care what others say. If it feels like it’s a passion, do it because you’re going to get better at doing it, so do it”.
Now Seth Godin in his startup school podcasts says when he wishes when he first started working as a freelancer that he would’ve asked each client at the end of each job to give him a testimonial which he could then laminate, put in a folder and build a body of work and show him new clients. Liz has an amazing testimonial.
I said to Liz that I’d like to start the show by asking if there was any real memorable moments for her that made her think she made it [...]
