25 years of showbiz career lessons 29.03.2025 31:19 ↓

I have performed around the world on stage and screen and helped a lot of other performers to do the same. I've worked with writers and producers and whatnot. Here are some things i learned on my journey.

Virtual show value 13.03.2021 5:47 ↓

The switch happened before we knew it and tons of people were suddenly making things from home. Doing an IRL show without the live audience reaction, without the communal feel, without the environment, without the grandness, without the exclusivity, without the focus is like… a pizza without the mozzarella, sauce, or crust.

Gather your fans now! 12.03.2021 6:15 ↓

The people who are truly dedicated to the entertainment you make probably is a smaller group than you hope, but it is probably also bigger than you might imagine.

You will lose your #audience without these: #security , #commitment , buyin. #entertainment #entertainer #scotnery #Showbiz

Email newsletters can be easier! 02.03.2021 1:43 ↓

When we get stuck writing a newsletter, developing an online audience, or trying to send out a message, it’s often because we’re trying to think about how to help ourselves / our biz. Once we switch the focus to our audience and serving them, things get easier and way more effective.

Get creatively unstuck and make something! 02.03.2021 2:43 ↓

You’re not limited by your “creativity” you’re limited by your selfishness. It’s okay. Everyone has some selfishness. Creativity is not a measure of some magical power you have. It’s the evidence of how much you have created. Create things for people you love and you’ll be prolific.

Get to success... using success! 02.03.2021 2:48 ↓

Here’s a quick productivity tip to overcome procrastination / perfectionism / laziness / bummed attitude.

Don't chase happiness in entertainment 02.03.2021 2:14 ↓

Pursuing happiness is futile. Don’t chase dreams, chase goals. It’s more rewarding and it can help you be more prolific and fulfilled. You can get what you really want from entertainment — that spark that got you into this: service. I am now doing full-on classes for show business people. Check them out now!

Creating an act that works 02.03.2021 2:34 ↓

Your audience comes to you for guidance. You gotta tell them how to be entertained your way! Step up. Lead them. Tell them what you want and how to play the game. They don’t want to be in the driver’s seat. Master entertainment by being the shepherd they seek. I’m doing online classes right now.
