GET HELP FROM THE BEST
People learn from each other. That’s how the world works. We learn what to do and what not to do. As I have said to many people, we are a buffet of everyone else. Those we come in contact with today will affect the way we are tomorrow. That being said if you can get help from someone else in your field that has more knowledge and experience then by all means DO IT. I have been very fortunate in my life to have several people personally help me along the way giving me ideas, encouragement, third party recommendations and direction. By the way, if you respond saying you don’t need direction from anyone then you should be scared as to which way you are going. Everyone needs direction and encouragement. These two are also very different which I will discuss in a later blog.
Last night I had the opportunity to be coached one-on-one by the one and only Jeff McBride. Jeff has toured the world several times over performing and teaching magic, dance, mime and movement to hundreds of thousands of people. When he called me up and asked me to come over to his house for a session, I was thrilled to say the least. This is a guy that I have been watching and learning from on video for almost twenty years and I have always looked up to his ability to be a successful magician.
Last night I learned from one of the best as we talked about marketing, avenues for income, public relations, giving for giving’s sake and so much more. Jeff makes the teachings about what the student wants to learn by making the first part of the lesson asking you questions.
Jeff has a beautiful home and a library with rehearsal space that helps his students prepare to be the best they can be. I would recommend that you get help in whatever you do from the best as well. I will definitely be a different person today because of my interactions with Jeff McBride yesterday.
