Who has the job of cutting through the clutter? Who has the responsibility for helping people know the difference between what's urgent (which gets a lot of attention) and what's important (which is often ignored)?
We all need people who can help us overcome our resistance/fear and see the world as clear as possible.
They can be formal mentors, your Board of Directors, an advisory board, or just friends who have a good sense of perspective.
In this environment the ability to stay calm, think clearly and be brave is so damn valuable. Seek out people who can help you and your team get to that place.

Alright, quick side note.
I try to plan out my speaking/workshop/consulting plan in six month blocks. Over the last six months I did workshops at places like here and here, helped groups like this one come up with a marketing plan and wrote that e-Book I keep shamelessly promoting. BUY IT!
So the next six month block of time is upon me which means that I am officially looking for:
1. Arts service organizations that would like me to do a speech or workshop
2. Arts organizations that could use some short term but damn effective help
3. Individual artists who want more long term (but also damn effective) help. This sort of coaching can be done remotely so I can help you wherever you are.
You can learn about the services here, grab a few testimonials here and if you are ready to talk email me at mission.paradox@Yahoo.com
