Listen "Episode 358: What’s a Motto With You?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I talk about mottos. Those little slogans or mantras that can actually keep you going in a business that is often messy, unpredictable, and overwhelming. A motto is not just decoration. It’s a tool. It helps you: Stay grounded when the industry feels chaotic. Filter choices and make better decisions. Communicate your identity and values quickly. Build momentum through small daily actions. I’ll share a quick history of mottos, what makes a good one, and a few of my favorites like: Grow through every no Truth over performance Consistent action, creative life Bring light to every role But here’s the most important part. A motto has to fuel action. It should connect to something small you can do each day. Even five minutes counts. That could be: Sending one outreach email Researching a casting director Tracking your auditions Posting or reposting content Reviewing your goals When you tie your motto to action, five minutes turns into seven, then ten, and before you know it, you’ve built momentum. So, here’s my challenge for you: Pick a motto tonight. Don’t overthink it. Write it down where you’ll see it. Tomorrow, spend five minutes on one business task that matches your motto. Repeat. Momentum comes from consistency, not perfection. Your motto isn’t just a phrase. It’s a compass. Find the one that makes your chest expand a little when you say it out loud, and let it guide your next step. I’d love to hear what motto you come up with.
