A parent who no longer has all the time you used to have to make the art you want? Do you see yourself as an actress or one who creates and produces as well? A filmmaker who has managed to get 3 shorts into festivals? A writer who has written in many mediums from stage to prose to film? I know that the way we see ourselves dictates many of our actions. What we think we are, we make the priority to do. See yourself as someone who produces and markets new art (in whatever form that may come be in songs, videos or books) and you are more likely to actually find the time in the corners of your life to make it happen. See yourself as someone who is too busy to create and I can guarantee that your creative dreams remain just that dreams. I have just added the hashtag filmmaker to my Twitter bio. It seems a little insane to do so but it is actually correct. In the last month I have created, shot, edited and produced 3 standalone Singing Psychic sketches and then done all the posting online etc. Once I had broken my huge inner resistance of the making and posting of the first one (including the going to bed on the Saturday night before posting worrying my dramatic acting career was about to be destroyed ;)). Each one since has become easier as I have accepted that making The Singing Psychic videos is fundamental to me developing her as a character, as a brand and also building an audience. I have to fill a West End theatre for six nights in August so I am starting now Plus I am loving doing it!! Lessons I have learnt in the last four weeks of being a filmmaker (well a very short film but still!) Each short film (we are talking 2-3 mins) has got better, the editing the cuts, the lighting. Each film I make I get braver – this one had outdoor shots and 3 locations in total. Each film I learnt something new, video 1 I stressed about exporting it so it didn’t look weird with audio/video on YouTube, this recent one I was stressing about how to put my new The Singing Psychic logo onto the video as a watermark at the end. My logo was created by my fabulously brilliant art director/graphic designer extraordinaire Martin Butterworth. Each film I have got quicker at making and editing. I have now starting detaching the audio, playing with positioning it against imported images  and not being afraid I will make it look weird and not be able to put it right! Each film I have learnt something new about social media reach. This new one I posted onto Facebook directly via their upload function as opposed to posting on YouTube then posting the Youtube link onto Facebook. I got 300 Facebook views in 20 hours and 75 on YouTube – my audience is largely on Facebook – I have over a thousand followers, 99% I know well. I need to learn more! It is important to learn what you need to know as a Just In Time process – I have been listening to podcasts on the way to my current three days a week modelling job and from that I learnt re the native Facebook video importance. I am clueless about ‘seeding’ – that’s when you let friends and possible influences know about your blog or video, so I am focusing on listening to podcasts on that subject. I would like people to see my work I mean I stayed in all Saturday and said no to dates so I could make it #AskMarysia I am also going to start shooting  a series of weekly short podcasts and videos on the various questions I keep getting on twitter, via my blog and also in person as friends and followers see how my career progressing nicely forward. So if you have any questions you want me to tackle let me know via any of my social media links including Twitter @MarysiaT and via this blog contact form. #AskMarysia   Whilst I am not an Oscar winning actress (yet ;))) I am a working actress, as in it’s pay[...] #AskMarysia, Actors, Filmmakers, Gratitude, Inspiration, Motivation, Musicians, Writers Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/03/04/artists-need-big-egos-to-make-thoughts-into-things/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/03/04/artists-need-big-egos-to-make-thoughts-into-things/#respond Wed, 04 Mar 2015 16:45:13 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3399 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/03/04/artists-need-big-egos-to-make-thoughts-into-things/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/02/21/riding-on-the-rollercoaster-of-a-creative-life/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/02/21/riding-on-the-rollercoaster-of-a-creative-life/#respond Sat, 21 Feb 2015 14:00:39 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3388 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/02/21/riding-on-the-rollercoaster-of-a-creative-life/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/10/28/dont-give-up-your-power-pick-yourself/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/10/28/dont-give-up-your-power-pick-yourself/#respond Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:21:42 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3337 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/10/28/dont-give-up-your-power-pick-yourself/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/10/09/you-must-be-able-to-use-the-tools-especially-touch-typing/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/10/09/you-must-be-able-to-use-the-tools-especially-touch-typing/#respond Thu, 09 Oct 2014 15:07:16 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3309 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/10/09/you-must-be-able-to-use-the-tools-especially-touch-typing/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/04/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-2-self-taper-movie-editor/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/04/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-2-self-taper-movie-editor/#respond Sun, 04 May 2014 23:32:13 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2939 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/04/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-2-self-taper-movie-editor/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/03/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-one-bookkeeper/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/03/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-one-bookkeeper/#comments Sat, 03 May 2014 18:57:24 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2925 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/03/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-one-bookkeeper/feed/ 4 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/31/three-mindset-traps-that-entrepreneurs-creatives-fall-into-how-to-fix-them/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/31/three-mindset-traps-that-entrepreneurs-creatives-fall-into-how-to-fix-them/#comments Mon, 31 Mar 2014 14:00:16 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2829 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/31/three-mindset-traps-that-entrepreneurs-creatives-fall-into-how-to-fix-them/feed/ 3 0:29:28 The way you think about yourself affects everything from the jobs you book to how you do your marketing and the work itself.

One of the benefits Ryan Lock is noticing about doing so much coaching is he is seeing this so clearly with his clients.  These mindset traps stop you having what you want as you get in your own way. This is Marysia Trembecka’s with Ryan James Lock twelfth coaching session podcast, just press the arrow above or  below are some of the highlights (this is not a full transcript) Three mindset traps Mindset Trap 1        The fear of what other people think of you if you put yourself out there or take action. Mindset Trap 2       Who The Hell Am I Syndrome? Mindset trap 3          Delusion – Thinking about it and expecting it to happen. Mindset Trap One  – The fear of what other people think of you if you put yourself out there or take action. Often the first real block of getting more clients is people worry about what others will think if they indeed step up and do a Youtube video, a blog or work towards goals. You will come up against people in whatever field you are in. As Marysia is an actress she has got used to being rejected as you don’t always fit the brief or have the right coloring for the family unit. Rejection is not always personal. You can get pencilled (so you have to block out the time in your diary) before you are penned and then still be rejected. Ryan suggests thinking of yourself as a brand, it makes it less personal. If you are worried what people think, really do acknowledge  that it is not personal, there is often a bigger picture we can’t see. You can worry about what people think, or you can take action on your goals, you can’t do both Allowing what other people think of you to stop you taking action is a real trap. Often as an entrepreneur or creative your family and friends often don’t get your dreams. Marysia listens to lots of other peoples’ podcasts in the gym for inspiration, for encouragement, she finds it’s like being in a mastermind group and helps block the other negative voices out. (There are some great podcast suggestions at the end of this post.) Ryan has recently coached someone into getting published on a front page of a website who was worried about her ‘real writer’ friends and what they would think to see her as that is not her real focus. Ryan has suggested that if her friends got weird she needs to change her friends. Having a coach or a mastermind group is important to support your dreams and remind you that you are not alone. Marysia was in a ‘mastermind’ group with other actors but they were all very different casting. She still passes on jobs for others  although if it was a casting for her type I would not. However having people in very different or similar but different  fields can be super useful to brainstorm, inspire Collaborate not competet post here Mindset Trap 2       Who The Hell Am I Syndrome? Every one suffers from lack of confidence, it can be very subtle. I won’t go that for that as I probably won’t get it I won’t go to that audition as it is out of my reach I won’t keep in touch with that contact  because they are out of my league. So it manifests itself as not believing you deserve what you want. It is very erosive, even if you want something if you have this tape playing in your head of ‘who the hell am I?’  or a la the Spice Girls ‘Who (oooh ooh) Do You Think You Are?‘ you just won’t take action for what you want. The Kardashians, reality TV stars earming $25 million for eating lunch, as they so into self promotion. Ryan had a client critiscising Madonna’s hard self promotion and Ryan said actually that is an amazing thing. So how to overcome this? Look at areas in your life where you suffering Are you not going for that promotion, talk, seminar, audition? Look at what you are not doing and own the fact that the only reason you are staying stuck is because of that belief.

This week was all about pr[...] In this Seventh coaching session podcast Ryan James Lock continues to coach me on how to market myself and my work, achieving my big goals, looking at my mindset and tackle my limiting beliefs and overcome procrastination. This week was all about press reviews and how to approach reading  and recovering from them. Ryan has a PR background, having had his own business and then moving into celebrity and brand consultancy on how to get a strategy to get into the media and also Ryan himself features regularly across the world. I wanted to ask him about press and reading reviews. I am in a play at the moment  and we are getting the press reviews coming through. I have a firm no reading of reviews policy as I do not find it helps me do my job as an actor. Part of the reason I don’t read reviews is my experience in Edinburgh Festivals where you have students reviewing who have no idea of the process nor the craft. I now want constructive criticism only from my director and the writer. Bad reviews don’t help you get on stage and do a great show, yes one is always learning and there are technical issues but the press can even get this wrong, I remembered an example of a Times reviewer saying a certain pop singer was pitchy and me overhearing my very famous and brilliant singing teacher call her management and say ‘she was perfectly in tune’, I’d trust my old singing teacher more than a reviewer on this I currently have an interesting time with the reviews as I understand we need them for promotion, and I know we are getting as actors great reviews even if they don’t love the play, which people are loving or hating. All artists remember the negative reviews and dismiss the positive ones. Ryan’s response is that a review is just one person’s opinion. What is very dangerous to people who are their own brand,, when you step up on stage and you sing or act, not only are you but you are also the brand, hence you are vulnerable. He knows many people don’t read reviews and it is sensible to ignore them especially if the reviewer is a student who has no real understanding. He has done a YouTube video on dealing with bad press, if you have indeed read the reviews: 1)Be objective in what can I learn from this 2)Look at the person writing it, do they embody of what you want. He quotes  from the film ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ ‘Don’t listen to people who don’t have what you want’, if you want riches don’t listen to those who are always poor 3)To really understand that it is just an opinion. Ryan asks when I say I don’t read them is that because I worry something will hurt or that it just makes me less focused? I mention Steven Berkoff, the director/writer recently on Facebook saying how he doesn’t read reviews as he has so much bad criticism over the years but he had to post an intelligent review as they are so rare. I am very aware how a good review can really help, indeed we have had great reviews  and theatres already talking about the show transferring so I am not bitter and twisted on this. However I know great reviews can help the brand, me, sales of tickets etc. So there is an argument to get someone else to read them to see if we use them to promote. Ryan said find either a publicist, a friend, someone who is objective. We all have a sense of insecurity and it is a bad cycle to get into to be allowed to be swayed by negative comments. Wise people aren’t swayed, it is psychological well-being, you should not feel validated if people say you are great and invalidated if they don’t like you. I gave an example of hearing a tune ‘October Arrival’ by Steve Waterman, an amazing jazz trumpeter and asked if I could write some lyrics to it. I then, 6 weeks later, was asked to perform it in front of the 30 piece orchestra with my own lyrics. I was so terrified I couldn’t breathe. We started with me coming in an octave lower than I had meant to. All the way through I was shaking, I came to the middle ten (not 8, it is a jazz tune[...] Actors, Marketing, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/30/why-you-must-get-comfortable-being-uncomfortable-coaching-podcast-session-4/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/30/why-you-must-get-comfortable-being-uncomfortable-coaching-podcast-session-4/#comments Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:17:27 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1658 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/30/why-you-must-get-comfortable-being-uncomfortable-coaching-podcast-session-4/feed/ 1 0:36:39 Marysia/Ryan Lock coaching session 4 ‘Why you must get comfortable being uncomfortable’.

In this fourth coaching session podcast Ryan James Lock 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. He gives me advice and focus on what I, and thus you, the listening creatives, can do to promote a show, exhibition or event they are working on as part of the selling of their own work. Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript) Since I started these coaching sessions I have definitely moved my project forward. Last week’s homework was to do my YouTube video for the single and post it. I have posted it on my blog, facebook etc and now my friends and the world can see my work. Scary but I did it. He also asked me to do at least 30 minutes a day on promoting my project, however I tended to do a few hours one day and then nothing for the next few. I have realised I have 2 other dance songs that I have left on my hard drive – I am now thinking I could eventually release a 3 track dance EP. I play part of one at 8.33 minutes (Sun In The Morning) Janice Smylie – use what is already there, look what else you have. Most of what you want is already there.  Janice Smylie Website We discuss how I successfully create by booking the show, and then HAVING to create and deliver it. However this process of developing a product first and then having to market it afterwards I find very difficult, although the product is often better. Ryan says one has to be careful to  keep on the sidelines, effectively waiting til the product or art is ‘perfect’ Ryan asks about my sense of overwhelm and time issues. I am not even managing the gym routines properly, Ryan said it is natural to have fluctuations in your patterns and it is OK to have this. I talk about not knowing what steps to take next, I don’t know now what to do. I have got through the hurdles of initially contacting some people, I ask what next, do I go knock on doors?  Ryan says I need to understand that there are so many people trying to do things, release a song or a film or show. Don’t be naive and think people will get back to me tomorrow, creatives have the energy, passion to get their product out but don’t expect an immediate response. Mike Dooley said to Ryan ‘Knock on as many doors as you can. When you keep all the energy moving, things have to respond. Get so busy knocking on doors that you don’t have time to hang around and wait for a response.” Ryan agrees that there is no one single thing I can do, I just want to get the song out there and it is frustrating about not having just one door to knock on. Ryan says this sense of ‘I have this book, CD etc to get out there’ and yet you will never know what thing leads to another, the fluidity of life. Mike Dooley had been doing his emails and newsletters for months and then he heard from Rhonda Byrne… who invited him to be part of The Secret documentary, she had been reading his emails for 6 months. Ryan told me to write again a list of what is holding me back for each thing and a step I can take. Ryan’s tips of finding me some viral movement on my Youtube video Londontown video Only add the Youtube video link to my email signature but to the right people Add it to my Facebook profile – Fan page. Marketing research say people like to be told what is the next step of action, so suggest to people they look at my Youtube link. Create some video stills of my video, post it, tag friends and opinion formers (not your mum!), who are right for this project and ask them  engaging questions. Don’t just ask ‘ share please’. Put myself in the consumer shoes, what is in it for them. So tag their names, add the link to Youtube and ask a question that gets a positive answer. Ask an emotive or string image from the video and ask. Maybe ask some friends[...] Londontown, Marketing, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/24/londontown-the-airplay-remix-is-here-please-listen-share/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/24/londontown-the-airplay-remix-is-here-please-listen-share/#respond Sat, 24 Aug 2013 01:11:30 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1622 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/24/londontown-the-airplay-remix-is-here-please-listen-share/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/20/why-you-must-be-your-authentic-self-ignore-all-obstacles-distractions/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/20/why-you-must-be-your-authentic-self-ignore-all-obstacles-distractions/#comments Mon, 19 Aug 2013 23:31:53 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1590 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/20/why-you-must-be-your-authentic-self-ignore-all-obstacles-distractions/feed/ 3 0:43:24 ‘Why you must be your authentic self & ignore all obstacles & distractions” In this third coaching session podcast Ryan James Lock continues to coach me on achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and what is holding me back plus keeping[...] ‘Why you must be your authentic self & ignore all obstacles & distractions” In this third coaching session podcast Ryan James Lock continues to coach me on achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and what is holding me back plus keeping me accountable. He gives me advice and focus on what I, and thus you, fellow listening creatives, can do to promote a show, exhibition or event they are working on as part of the selling of their own work. (The arrow above plays the podcast or you can catch it on my iTunes Love Your Creativity Channel) Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript) I must re-look at myself as a human being. It is important for me to know I am redefining how I am seeing myself. Homework – Ask myself a la ‘Byron Katy’ – ‘everything in your life is a story you are telling yourself’, ‘who would I be if I changed the story I am telling myself.’ Say to myself: This is the new life I am creating for myself, these are new things I am going to be experiencing so actually I am going to support myself by seeing myself in that way. I am in control of how I see myself, and see myself as capable, talented. Me being more than who I am can cause issues, especially in the UK where modesty is seemed a positive thing. Ryan says that being authentic and when you show up unapologetic especially as a woman, it can make people uncomfortable if they are not happy with where they are at. When you show up and you are direct, completely authentic and say things, and you are emotionally naked, it can cause issues with people. Take a look at how when you are being yourself, how the people around you are reacting. When the magic happens is when you are completely yourself, you resonate with people in a very different way. Ryan talks about owning the fact that I am being talented, maybe I do know what I am doing. It is arrogant to say that you are not talented and hide, you just hold yourself your back and it does not help you or the world. Its important to know ‘I am talented and in demand, and I deserve to be rewarded with tangible results’. The past has no power over me unless I give it power. The rest is background noise, just carry on! Practise this week on not apologising about being myself. Not only is it ok to be authentic but it is necessary to succeed. I discussed how busy I am in all other areas in my life and getting busier but I do not want to give up the dance single. Ryan says that when we make a change in our life what comes up is not inner resistance as much as adjusting to the new level I am at. So the more work I am doing towards my art, new habits need to be formed as my time is getting squeezed more. In moving ahead all my life is moving forward, things keep becoming more important and by me making things happen, life is getting busier. Ryan said ‘every new level has a different level’, often when we are on a journey you create movement and now everything is moving forward which is great but now it requires maintenance, focus and keeping going. There will be uncomfortable times at the start when we are pushing through barriers. Time is proving to be my issue. Ryan said it is ok to reschedule things and adjust things to prioritise, find a sense of balance. Look at the fact that I am on the road to getting what I want and juggling things, in wanting the ‘body’ or the ‘car’ you cant just get it without having to maintain. As I am moving all my little projects forward, everything is moving forward.   I reported that I am still trying to find my target audience people so I can ask where they find their music and download it. It isn’t proving as easy as I thought. I have had some good success in moving forward. Ryan says that one of the great things about putting yourself out there, it seems then that the biggest thing is taking the first step, but then distractions come along.

Ryan continues to coach me and give me further advice and tips. Ryan clearly makes the point that his coaching is not about validating my busy-ness or emotions but about moving my project forward. Ryan has agreed to coach me in this podcast format as what to do when you have a creative product and don’t know the next steps. I have a dance music song ‘Londontown’ and I am clueless on what to do next, I dont know the dance market and there seems an overwhelming amount to do. Ryan talks about my fears and is coaching me over the next few weeks on my next steps which applies to whatever art you are about to start marketing from painting, to a new play or event. Here are some of the highlights (this is not a full transcript) so listen to the show either by clicking on the right pointing arrow above or you can go to iTunes Love Your Creativity podcast channel I reported that I did actually manage to make a Teaser YouTube video for my track, make my Love your Creativity YouTube channel and upload the teaser video. It isn’t perfect but it now exists. He congratulates me on moving forward, even just a bit. I, of course, felt I had to get something done because of knowing that I had to report Ryan and the world. He says one of the best ways to get stuck is to get caught up in perfectionism, you have to get moving. We say things like ‘It’s not ready yet’ and we use that as an excuse to not move forward. Being scared of being rejected is often the reason we never let our art see the light of day. The moment you get a product out the door, you then know if people love it or not. I have set myself a very clear target ideal audience so Ryan has set me the task of finding 3 people I know who fit my ideal audience brief, then take them to coffee and tell them that they are my ideal listener, how I want to attract more people like them and ask where they go clubbing, where they find music, what websites, any advice they can give, play them the track and get their response. Even if they don’t get back to you, you have reached out and taken action and then your mind does come up with some interesting ideas. Ryan then responded to my idea of people videoing or photographing them listening to my track and using #MarysiaLondontown in return for a prize, but instead he suggested ask people to send me a pic of their own personal ‘Londontown’ and offer them a place in my video when it gets made. I then express my exasperation and frustration in not knowing what to do next, nor how to do it. Ryan responded with the next steps plan to combat me going crazy with so many ways to do this plus I don’t have a marketing plan or enough knowledge about the market. I am watching The Vamps release their first single just via Youtube at present (188,000 views in 2 days at time of writing!) but I am not sure how their model works for me as I don’t have the platform they do. He advises me also this week to think of a friend who does know more than I and take them out for coffee and ask them for advice. He suggests I think about doing a listening event. The dangers of being too exclusive. Realise that I did not make this dance single in a day so don’t expect to launch it in a day. Really get focused and calm rather than lose myself in the panic of overwhelm and panic. He says ‘You have done an amazing thing in creating so now lets take some proper time into the marketing. Take the time and energy to come up with a plan. Don’t rush this thing but take your time. He again brings me back to regaining a sense of control, establish a clear set of questions to ask. He says it is still too early to get a solid marketing plan. Start with my target market and ask where they download their music from and where they go. I have 3 target audience to and 7 people to get their advice, and give myself permis[...] Londontown, Marketing, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/07/how-to-get-67k-youtube-views-in-19-hours-from-upload-ask-the-vamps/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/07/how-to-get-67k-youtube-views-in-19-hours-from-upload-ask-the-vamps/#comments Wed, 07 Aug 2013 11:49:25 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1456 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/07/how-to-get-67k-youtube-views-in-19-hours-from-upload-ask-the-vamps/feed/ 1 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/28/how-to-market-a-play-make-a-viral-video-teaser/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/28/how-to-market-a-play-make-a-viral-video-teaser/#comments Sun, 28 Jul 2013 12:13:06 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1369 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/28/how-to-market-a-play-make-a-viral-video-teaser/feed/ 1 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/16/how-to-get-a-record-deal-ask-the-vamps/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/16/how-to-get-a-record-deal-ask-the-vamps/#comments Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:39:33 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1305 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/16/how-to-get-a-record-deal-ask-the-vamps/feed/ 2 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/11/how-to-brainstorm-great-venues-for-an-event/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/11/how-to-brainstorm-great-venues-for-an-event/#respond Thu, 11 Jul 2013 00:17:36 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1279 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/11/how-to-brainstorm-great-venues-for-an-event/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/04/a-portrait-of-rory-mcewen-artist-and-musician/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/04/a-portrait-of-rory-mcewen-artist-and-musician/#respond Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:01:54 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=773 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/04/a-portrait-of-rory-mcewen-artist-and-musician/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/02/how-to-get-clarity-on-the-next-steps-market-edit-ship-it-or-die/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/02/how-to-get-clarity-on-the-next-steps-market-edit-ship-it-or-die/#respond Tue, 02 Jul 2013 21:58:22 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1223 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/02/how-to-get-clarity-on-the-next-steps-market-edit-ship-it-or-die/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/20/trust-the-vision-board-luke-let-it-guide-your-next-step/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/20/trust-the-vision-board-luke-let-it-guide-your-next-step/#comments Mon, 20 May 2013 22:36:54 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=881 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/20/trust-the-vision-board-luke-let-it-guide-your-next-step/feed/ 1 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/21/just-do-it-dont-care-what-anyone-thinks-marysias-podcast-with-liz-ranken/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/21/just-do-it-dont-care-what-anyone-thinks-marysias-podcast-with-liz-ranken/#comments Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:12:07 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=326 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/21/just-do-it-dont-care-what-anyone-thinks-marysias-podcast-with-liz-ranken/feed/ 7 0:31:15 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[...] 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.

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.” Full Transcript Follows 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 [...] Fun, Inspiration, Motivation, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/06/art-is-never-finished-only-abandoned-so-lets-release-it/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/06/art-is-never-finished-only-abandoned-so-lets-release-it/#comments Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:56:40 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=199 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/06/art-is-never-finished-only-abandoned-so-lets-release-it/feed/ 2 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/02/8-secrets-to-success-by-richard-st-john-3-min-ted-talk/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/02/8-secrets-to-success-by-richard-st-john-3-min-ted-talk/#respond Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:27:56 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=189 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/02/8-secrets-to-success-by-richard-st-john-3-min-ted-talk/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/03/20/timothy-west-inspiring-actors-for-generations-to-come/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/03/20/timothy-west-inspiring-actors-for-generations-to-come/#comments Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:58:25 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=101 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/03/20/timothy-west-inspiring-actors-for-generations-to-come/feed/ 1
