MORNING MOTIVATION 2019 FOR ACTORS I PERFORMERS I CREATORS

THE COACHMC STUDIO February 3, 2019 3:32 Mindset Acting

A short motivational piece built on a real argument: mass markets are over, so the odd specific thing about you is now the asset.

5 Things Actors Should Know About Being Remarkable Rather Than Marketable

Drawn from what is actually said on camera, so you can decide whether to spend the 3:32 watching it.

Building for the mass market is now the weaker strategy

The old model of art, money and behavior served the middle of a single enormous audience. The argument here is that this has stopped working, and that new, specific and slightly strange now outperforms fitting the standard.

Millions of small weird markets replaced one big one

Rather than following a single market's dictate, the opportunity is building your own community and audience around what is actually particular to you. That is a different career shape from waiting to be selected by a large one.

The choice is the point, and it needs defending

Inventing yourself in whatever way you want requires courage and stamina to hold onto, because nothing supports it externally. The claim is that the freedom to make those choices is where the durable satisfaction comes from.

Welcome back performers. This motivational video is about amplifying your creation every day. Take this time for yourself, find a quiet and safe place without distractions and let's start this journey together. Now look at the snow. We perceive snow to be this huge, wide, monumental mass pounding down from the sky and filling up our landscapes. In our perception, all snow is equal and the same, but nothing could be further away from the truth. Since snow has started to fall on planet earth, not one snowflake was equal to the other. Under the microscope, all snow crystals reveal the same geometrical building block, the hexagon. But then we clearly see that its structure and shape is always unique, fragile and manifests in numerous ways. This directly translates to us humans, same in construction, but dramatically different in how we look, move and behave. And I think this has never been so true like in today's world. It holds a tremendous opportunity for performers and creators out there. The old idea of society, of markets, of making money, of behavior, even of art was serving the mass. But that concept in today's world is obsolete and it turns out ineffective. We shifted into a world where new, different, unique and slightly weird behavior is more important than serving the status quo. It doesn't mean that you don't belong to the planet anymore, it means that you have the right to be you, in whatever crazy way you want to invent yourself, and having the courage, the boldness and the stamina to defend that choice. Because being rich means to have a choice, not to have a lot of money. And making choices and amplifying them by creating your own community, your own audience and taking the responsibility to deliver value to their lives, that is what this new society is all about. A society of remarkable people, dedicated to their own visions, not following the dictate of a single huge market, but creators of millions of small, specific, weird markets. So go for the adventure, for the unique exploration of your behavior, because it is scientifically proven that the root of true happiness comes from the freedom of making choices. So make a choice how you want to impact people today, by being remarkable when you prepare and unique when you share, because being remarkable is the only option we got. Do love that.
