If your dialogue often states that "one day" you'll accomplish certain things you are limiting your chances of succeeding. Take those same two words, One Day, and flip them around. Focus on day one of your new direction. Stop dreaming about some day and make it happen now. So often we talk about what we want to happen but don't move forward. Forward momentum is the key to accomplishing anything. Tony Robbins mentions taking massive and immediate action on any task you want to complete. Why? Forw...

In improv comedy don't just talk about an object or something that's supposed to be in this imaginary world you have built. It's more impactful if you put it to use.

What if I walk through that door and create a new world inside. Now there's endless possibilities. Take that same mindset into business and you can create something far more en...

I've been performing improv comedy for more than a year and have found an amazing creative outlet. During my divorce, when I was depressed and highly stressed, I was guaranteed laughs every week.

I've been performing improv comedy for more than a year and have found an amazing creative outlet. During my divorce, when I was depressed and highly stressed, I was guaranteed laughs every week.

This concept is used to always drive forward another actor's ideas, instead of shooting them down. If you tell me you're a buffalo and I tell you that you're crazy I have shot down your idea....
