The Mindset
Entertainers and entrepreneurs have a special, unspoken responsibility in the world. You signed up for it when you decided you were going to buck the system. When you stood up and said “no thank you” to the offer of a 9-5 job, company-paid health insurance, and the agreement that you’d wake up early and sit in a morning commute to trade your hours for a set annual salary.
And with that responsibility comes a number of costs and benefits that the muggles of the world can’t understand. Hell, some of them we can’t even understand.
We are here to give hope and light to the masses. We are the creators who don’t need to pass our ideas through a committee, a legal team, or a marketing department. No – those special councils reside in our hearts and minds. We are ones who get to say, “I created that art and now I see a thousand people laughing, clapping, singing, or jumping.”
So what are the costs? We don’t have the luxury of playing small. The moment we fall into a behavior which is generally accepted by the gainfully employed we open the door to more of what we can’t afford: pettiness, wasted time, red-tape, arguments, comparison, judging, ego-driven action, calling in sick, and holding grudges.
All of that exists in the cultural workplace. These are the behaviors that dim our light. Practiced regularly, these are the nail in the coffin of our career, spirit, and maybe even our life.
Today we will take fast-action on forgiveness. It alone, as you’ll see, has the power to set you free.
Welcome to the blessings and burdens of life as an entertainer and entrepreneur.

Today on the call you took a bullet point or two about each. For the deeper work, you can expand upon those to unlock what lives on the other side of that grudge.
- What’s a grudge that you’re holding onto?
- What have been some of the measurable costs of holding on – 3-5 bullet points
- What have been some of the measurable benefits of holding on
- What is the story you told yourself about the incident?
- What is something you learned about yourself that has helped you?
- What small personal responsibility can you take for the incident?
- Release at least one resentment about the incident.
- Send Love… either energetically or literally. Close the book.

What possibility lives on the other side of you letting go? I know… and you do, too.
