So life has been good for the past few days. I’ve been really preparing for my trip to New York and to move away from the house in Los Angeles. VV and I are off to a 10-day silent meditation retreat beginning the day after Christmas, and we’re both really excited about the chance it’s going to give us to sink in to ourselves and relax before the windstorm that we are both sure 2008 is going to be.
With that said, I decided that I wanted to make a business card for myself. Here it is:
Front:
Back:
I want to have this for a few reasons. When I’m street performing, I want to be able to give out the card to encourage people to go to the website and subscribe or buy things. Second, it’s about time for me to have something to give people when I meet them. Third, I designed the card to be the card I have always dreamed of receiving. I’m so over the question “what do you do?” but at the same time, I’m really fascinated by people and what they do and what they’re into. But it can take so long to get it out of them, or in my case, to explain all the different things I do and that I’m into. So the card is a great way of answering the question. The person can then pick up on any of the things they are interested in and the conversation can proceed from there.
So, that prepares me for 2008. A big, momentous year of really going for it.
My priorities are 3:
1) Street Performing
2) Theater Performing (one man shows)
3) Ordinary Miracles movie
My primary focus is money. I want to make a lot of it and I want to spend it freely and I want to have a savings account and I want to give it away. Primary focus is something that Steve Pavlina writes about so eloquently it hurts. My primary focus for 2007 was women and relationships and that worked out pretty well!
And my goals in New York are as follows, in no particular order:
- Write “One Sun Salutation A Day” eBook with tips and exercises and philosophy of the idea
- Perform my existing one man show “Bite Scratch Claw” over and over and refine and update it
- Add a video element to “Bite Scratch Claw”
- Write “Breakdancing Aliens and God: Sixty One-Minute Freakouts”
- Do instructional lessons while street performing–dance, social, juggling, etc.
- Write transformation of consciousness lecture
- Work on popping routine with a group
- Develop a street performance SHOW with dancing, beatboxing, juggling, hat tricks, singing, and an audience interaction. Tell a story about creativity and how I knew a guy who thought he couldn’t be creative but he just keep trying and how the guy is me and how he was scared of people but now he’s OK.
