Fred Armisen on Building Your Own Thing

A young woman asked advice on behalf of her husband who lives in a rural area and has high hopes of breaking into comedy, but because he’s not near Second City or a well-known comedy shop is struggling. Fred said, “Tell him to stop thinking about what already exists. Invent something else; make your own thing.” While totally unrelated to me, his answer resonated with me and reminded me of some very important things I try to carry with me daily.

Ask Questions, or Better Yet, Ask Better Questions

How To Get a PR Internship/Job: Know Yourself

While that is important (see below), it is by knowing what turns you on, why it turns you on and what you want to do with what turns you on (professionally, of course*smile*) that will propel you in this life. When you have this stuff figured out, presenting yourself everywhere (resume, interviews, in your relationships, etc.) becomes much simpler because you are operating with confidence – gained only when you’re sure of what you’re doing.

Courageous. Thorough. Act. My Three Words for 2011

Simplicity always reigns in my world, so having these three words to come back to as my intended direction and purpose is extremely helpful. The words don’t symbolize an unrealistic expectation I have for myself, or a big goal I’ve written that is obtainable but still overwhelming to think about. They’re just three small words that can put me back on the right track to achieving what it is that I’ve deemed important in order to grow (integrity, service and growth are my eternal words for living).

In essence, I. WAS. SCARED. And because I was uncertain of how my blog would be received by the world, I slowly progressed into a place where creating content based on my original intent became an afterthought and often an excuse-filled discussion with those who cared enough to ask me why I wasn’t writing.
