Help

Dear Friends:

Many people are afraid to ask for help. They think asking for help is a sign of weakness.

Asking for Help

Writer Lorie Corcuera offers a few reasons why you should ask for help and support.

  • When you ask for support, you maintain focus and energy as the task is shared with others. You create more FLOW, making the journey fun and easy.
  • When you ask for support, you create opportunities for others to share their gifts and talents. You empower others to shine, and you learn more about others’ strengths and passions.
  • When you ask for support, you allow others to experience the happiness that comes from giving. When we give or receive a gift, we release oxytocin, a powerful bond-stimulating hormone.
  • When you ask for support, you are trusting in others, which strengthens the trust between you and your supporters.
  • When you ask for support, you are stating that you are imperfect, just like everyone else, and others will relate to you. No one is perfect and everyone has room to grow.

Getting Help with Your Business

Years ago, I asked Tobias Beckwith to help me with my career and business. His advice and guidance was essential to my success. Now, he can help you make good choices and help your career to grow. Just look here:

Money is the Best Applause: Building Your Business as a Magician

It’s time to get your career in gear with this special workshop conducted by Tobias Beckwith and Jeff McBride. You will learn techniques for enhancing all aspects of the business, and marketing of your business as a magician. You will also receive Feedback on your act, and learn about practice sessions on executing all aspects of finance, legal, communications, gig management and marketing. Includes a photo shoot with Richard Faverty. Only 12 students will be admitted, due to the extensive amount of personalized material we will be processing.

Do You Need to Find Your Direction?

A very important person in my life is Bob Fitch. Bob has directed my shows for many years.

Now you can study with Bob here at the Mystery school.

We are excited to be offering – The Bob Fitch Workshop at The Magic & Mystery School

In the past, magicians have had few resources available to learn theatre and movement skills. These intensive, structured multi-day workshops have been tailored to magicians, and are intended to help them obtain basic theater tools and self-directing skills to take away, and be able to apply to their work. The multi-day workshop format allows time to effect real, hopefully lasting, change. http://www.magicalwisdom.com/events#504

Bob Fitch

The writer J. Michael Dolan reminded me that

— Asking for directions doesn’t mean you’re inept. It could mean you’re eager to get where you’re going ASAP.

— Asking for tech support doesn’t mean you’re over-the-hill and out of touch. It could mean you’re eager to learn something, so you’ll know what to do next time.

— Asking for coaching is not a sign of surrender; it’s a sign of determination.

— Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re not ready, on the contrary, it means you’re ready to move on.
