Some people believe you are responsible for what you know, while others don’t. 

No matter which side of the debate you fall on, one thing is certain, asking yourself if you are responsible for what you know can lead to self-awareness.

Thanks for listening.

Take care of your money. And, eventually, your money will take care of you.

As artists and entrepreneurs, we don’t always have the luxury of consistent income - especially at the beginning of our careers.

Show business is, by its nature, episodic. Opportunities available today may not be available tomorrow.

Seasonal or inconsistent work makes financial management a necessity.

Effectively budgeting, tracking, investing, and saving are essential skills for an artist.

Finance yourself and take a disciplined approach to money management.

When life has you feeling stuck and off your game, remember we all experience mistakes or missteps.

Stuff happens, and it’s unrealistic to expect success at every juncture.

Inactivity during any days, weeks, or years needn’t justify the same behavior moving forward.

Forgive yourself for the half-completed projects and the ventures you quit after a few attempts. A lack of motivation in one area doesn’t tell your whole story.

The feeling of stuck feelings pass.

You progress after an occasional fall or stall by planting again.

Plant more seeds in advance of the harvest you expect tomorrow.

Episode 61 of LaurieTALKS, is all about the importance of valuing and taking care of your body as a dancer.

Let's begin with simple stuff like using the handrail when descending stairs, and not dancing on cement.

In this episode, I share two stories:

Falling down the stairs

Using a wooden door as a solution to dancing on a cement floor during an in-studio workshop.

Achieve longevity. Perform stronger. Dance longer.

Standing up for yourself and being assertive is not about being rude, pushy, mean, or aggressive.

It’s about finding a way for you to be comfortable when asking for what you want in a way that respects others and that others respect.

If you don’t feel good about yourself, you lose power because you think you don’t have any. Consider your power. It’s there. 

If you find yourself unhappy with how you’re being treated . . . If you have difficulty communicating what is or is not acceptable to you, if you feel that you’re always being taken for granted or used by some of the people in your life, then do a self-check, look for patterns, and find ways to set boundaries.

We teach people what we will and will not tolerate from them. Treating yourself well is what sets the standard for others to follow.

Thank you for listening. Grateful.

A cynical mindset obliterates hope and is a massive barrier to anything good.

No one gets through life untested. 

Thanks to new tools and advances in consumer technologies, now anyone with passion and a smartphone can release authentic and engaging content to large audiences.

An ever-growing number of empowered individuals are using social media platforms as a marketplace for leveraging their skills and finding new ways to make a living.

The reduced costs of producing, distributing, and promoting content without the support of traditional institutions and/or backing have resulted in more songs, books, TV shows, and movies being generated than ever before.

Lowered entry barriers result in more power going to individuals to monetize their handiworks, build a following, and earn a living selling directly to consumers . . . in other words, to create autonomy.

My friend, you stand at the threshold of a new age.

Keep listening to your inner voice.

It knows the way of the dream tucked away in your imagination.

If you’re picking up on what the TALK is about, I’m grateful.

"You can start with nothing. And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made." This Michael Beckwith quote gives me life.

Big dreamer, please direct no energy toward doubtful thoughts.

Make yourself available to your possibilities because your possibilities are your fuel. Stand up and cheer yourself on.

Whether it’s searching for your dance shoes, mobile device, keys, or a digital document, time spent looking for (misplaced) items signals disorganization. And if you’re in a state of disorganization, how will you manage?

Getting organized is about creating efficiencies to improve the overall quality of your life. Let's go.
