New Beginnings

February 1, 2013 by Toby Martini Leave a Comment

The New Year brings New Beginnings…

(And the best video on the internet)

I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s resolutions and I have always just Hated planning, organizing, and strategizing. I mean, I’m an Improv guy, right? Live in the moment. Create… Now!

But, I have finally got it in my head: Planning is important. Knowing where you’re going and where you’re going to stop along the way is imperative. Otherwise  there’s just a lot of meandering and when there’s a great success, you won’t know how it happened nor how to make it happen again.

Yes. Be able to improvise. Awesome… AND being prepared makes things easier and probably better in both quality and quality of life (because the stress is less).

So, I’ve created a planning group and we put our year out on paper. Lots going on: workshops, keynotes, 1-day events, a big event at the end of the year, a new radio show, and back to blogging. Now to go make that happen!


Which brings me to the best video on the internet… for entrepreneurs, artists, and anyone that is starting something.

Ze Frank returned to the internet last year and this was his opening salvo.
I find it insanely inspiring and correct. It hits on many of the little chatter bits that come up in our heads. And it’s still fun.

I watch it every time I start something new. And right now, I’m starting a LOT that’s new!

I better start making some videos, too!

Testimonials

The program you put together for our team was a hit.  Or better said “It was AWESOME”.  It was “real” when compared to other similar types of sessions. You really helped our sales team learn to network and connect with clients, which I know will translate into better numbers.

I hope we can stay in touch and look for other projects to work on together.
