Happy New Year everyone! Before setting New Years Resolutions start by looking back in a way that can truly make you rocket forward. Understanding what you did that worked vs what did not go well in your own life, a project or even a year like 2020 to better be prepared for the future is a very useful business tool.
Reflect on your achievements and disappointments of 2020 to then draw out lessons you can learn to move forward to make 2021 a far better year.
This is an exercise I use at the end of each year before I start setting new goals for the next period. I also ask these same questions at the end of each creative project, tour and release of work.
It is three steps
1) List all your achievements from 2020 – from things that happened, to hobbies or structures you managed to put in place. Did you keep a roof over your head, get an exciting project, move a goal forward? Did you set a goal a year ago that you managed to gain traction on. Did you move homes, countries, fall in love, be mentally strong and look after yourself.
2) List all your disappointments from 2020, whether it was plans not kept, jobs lost, projects not finished. Did people disappoint you, did you lose a job, gigs, all your work, get less fit, or indeed not look after yourself properly.
3) Then read the 2 lists and ask yourself what lessons can you learn from both. Ask
‘why did that work? Why didn’t that work?’ There are always ways to make improvements or changes in our behaviour, systems or ourselves to use such lessons in a positive way. You may see why you succeeded in one area and see how you can add that behaviour to another,
Pick three top lessons from your list, write them down and read them daily for the first 3 months of 2021. If you could learn these threee lessons what difference would it make in your life.


Aims of this podcast - Love Your Creativity & Make Money
This podcast is about being a working creative from thoughts on marketing, budget to what techniques we can all use to get the work done and out there, no matter where you work full time as an actor, a choreographer or have a yearning to paint more over the weekends.
The book on mental, practical and financial tips on ‘getting your art in gear’ is being launched the end of 2020.

About me, Marysia Trembecka

I am at heart a storyteller and this has translated from the initial creation of work to being a performer, including film and theatre acting, writing and performing international touring comedy shows to MCing.

Highlights include sell-out Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe shows, singing at the Royal Festival Hall in 23 different languages, as well as doing TEDx talks and corporate gigs, such as the Brit Awards Afterparty at the 02 as my ‘The Singing Psychic’ bio queen character.

My ‘THE SINGING PSYCHIC’ who ‘reads the songs in your heart’ also has a GAME SHOW version, and was a finalist in Best Show, Funny Women in 2016, and I have toured internationally since then.
I have also produced five webseries as the character including my 23 episode SONGS OF BREXIT webseries I made for the June 2016 EU Referendum, on the pros and cons of the EU, I started the web series singing The Clash’s ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now’. It was very wll received due to the blend of education and entertainment, and I ended up on London Live and even a BBC2 Live Debate on the National Living Wage amongst other press of the back of that.


I also was awarded Arts Council funding for research on a solo show on how we are all judged by our sexuality, so as part of that, I interviewed people on the cutting edge of sexual politics. From this I then created another character ‘Queen Of The F*cking World’ which has also toured internationally from Glasgow WOFF film festival in the female perspective strand to sell-out London, Edinburgh and Adelaide runs. I sing and play the bass guitar and guitar in this show.

My film acting credits can be found on IMDB and indeed my projects are on my media gallery http://marysiatrembecka.com/media-gallery/
