Too many of our dreams are in La La Land locked "fantasy land. We can not because of these dreams, because we have become the fantasy of achieving more than we do, how reality actually achieving them.
We talk about the speech, but not the foot. We sit Butt Kick Butt instead. We are by our lack of faith in our abilities, rather than go step by step towards our goals frozen.
In the reality show "Your act together ', Harvey Goldsmith Get theSchemer who tries to revive the career of singer Samantha Mumba again.
His goal was to reach an agreement for her within six months. key lessons can be drawn from her work with her, as we learn to achieve our objectives.
Samantha Mumba has reached six hit singles and platinum albums before she was nineteen years old, but then nose dived into his musical career for his second album was dropped by his record.
It has also begun a career as an actor in Spielberg's "The Time Machine" and has appeared inmany other films, but none were as successful as "The Time Machine".
Five years after their last hit album, Harvey Goldsmith has asked for his help in reviving her singing career. Harvey, respect their talent but was not sure about his personality:
"A very interesting artist - which could be as big as a Beyonce or Nelly Furtado, but I have heard can be a bit 'a diva. If you succeed, but of true courage and determination. This is a tough business. It is notThere is no place for the weak. "
Samantha met in Dublin, where he has been successful lingerie modeling, but not sing or write songs.
He wanted to know if he really wanted the record deal or not. Desire is crucial for success. He wanted to know if they can, we have focused on their music to the exclusion of anything else.
Focus would be the problem if they wanted a record deal. Reasonable would be another time-management. The only thing that works wonderfully in the absence of HarveyBack for his help is: "Do not waste my time!"
But had to wait for two hours talking with her. Finally, he could ask if he could concentrate exclusively on his music. He promised that:
"I was inspired and I like a challenge. I think this is very, very interesting. I love him, I think it's great."
His challenge of a target excited is a necessary first step, but without going through the excitement soon faded.
HeI asked her a small live concert for him to feel the body sing. But the follow through has been disappointing.
In October 2006, Harvey was in Los Angeles. He had no illusions about the city:
Los Angeles is called "La La Land" for nothing. There are a lot of BS that is going on. "
Los Angeles is not alone. Could be a lot of this planet - 'La La Land. "People have big goals and dreams that are enthusiastic but have to do is not enough to getthem. These people live and die in the land of fantasy.
Harvey found Samantha in Los Angeles and "La La Land." He was not happy with his progress:
"What disappoints me more if nothing had happened, as we left. The problem is nothing happens. I flew 6,000 miles to Los Angeles to see Samantha Perform. I just arrived and Ray, his manager has told me that is not on stage. "
Harvey was angry and disappointed
"I am angry that I did not come all this way without Flewto say. If they succeed in music, they had better start listening or not there. "
A meeting was organized and Harvey was waiting. He was told that Samantha had gone to a class manager. E 'come for three and a half hours late for the meeting.
Samantha put the lack of agreement on a live show put on him for lack of money: "If you have 25 large, I will do a show."
Harvey put their failure to the fact that life was too easy and convenient for them:
"Theyneed a little 'stress in your life. The best things always come from a pressure cooker, but you seems to me a fantastic location. To me, this does not sound like great music. "
Samantha agrees:
"Wait a second. You do not think I had any setbacks? For a back shot? Do you think I decided to pack a suitcase and move my family in another country?"
Harvey returned to focus on its theme:
"You can not do everything at once. You simply can not. TheyTo make some very difficult decisions. Do you feel strongly enough that you want to make this possible? "
"I will make this happen."
"Well, this is good!"
But Samantha was still talking, but the speech not to walk:
"This woman is doing my head in. He says the right things and then behaves as it did last night. I do not understand what is on the planet."
Samantha Harvey blame for a lack of understanding. He felt that he understood the rock starTimers are not great, and should have realized that, like many women could multi-task:
"Because people are not very good multi-taskers, it's hard to believe that I do a test and still focus on music. To be honest, is reduced to that of being human."
But Harvey has requested further focus and the truth of it:
"I need to get their thoughts, feel, eat, sleep and breathe music. In show business, it is important that you surround yourself with people whoWho will be there to give you straight. Because if not BS around, we can not do anything. "
Samantha Harvey heard singing with the group guest, and I was impressed:
"This has great potential."
But Harvey was not with the fact that they had taken, and the group hosting, only seven songs in ten months impressed.
The Beatles recorded their first album all in one day. Mumba time runs slower. It was clearly a priority of his music
Harvey wanted themcoordinate their work. He told her to do seven or eight titles in the next two weeks, instead of ten months later. Softens his claim with the promise that:
"In six months you can start, the cinema."
"You do that," he promised Samantha.
Limitation for a period of change is good psychology. Most people can give their favorite activities for a limited time, but not forever.
"I look forward to your visit to London," said Harvey, but she was stillReservations:
"You can find just eight days in eight months to grasp? I find really strange. She has a kind of psychological problem. She is a fantastic singer, but needs a kick in the pants."
Harvey had not lost hope: "I will do this work I make this girl a star."
Surprisingly Samantha Harvey came to London to listen to eight songs for him. He introduced three possible UK Manager:
"Treat your vision andPeriod of time with them, and I hope that his time in London and not "the time '."
However, they left London without a manager. Harvey analyzes the reasons for the failure of past Samantha:
"I think Samantha is afraid of failure and for this reason is reluctant to want to go the extra mile and try to make out for her, so I try to live in Dublin and then a presentation in London, first of all music industry."
But Samantha was a sponsorship of about £ 25,000 to put in Dublinto display. Harvey was not impressed.
"The problem with Samantha she is doing everything for everyone, and only used again. If all they want is everyone to do everything for them, will not last five minutes in this business and certainly won 't be with me.
Finally, Harvey put in £ 15,000 of his money and took a risk:
"If the show goes well Dublin is a possibility that I can recoup some of my investment back."
Samantha was fired and excited bythe idea of live performance in Dublin and London and started practicing her dance steps
But tickets can be developed in Dublin. After four days they had sold only 21 tickets of 1400. Harvey and his Irish promoter tries to pull the show, quiet, but ignored advice Samantha Harvey.
He rushed to Dublin to do some 'PR. But three weeks later there was no turnover and had to pull the show. Your PR-flash was a public relations disaster. Rule number one in the entertainment world is notto publish a failure.
Harvey flew to Los Angeles to listen to their practice with their band, but was under proven and reluctant to perform in front of him. Half an hour later she called him one day.
He took her to dinner and told her to take control. The test was a poor general alarm bells for Samantha. Decided to take things seriously and heard Harvey had tied after five long months.
Samantha is reflected in their performance:
"Because I'm afraid of mobileI brushes - how to deal with when he goes here - this is the wrong thing to do. "
Harvey organized a showcase in the Pigalle Club in London - one of the hottest venues in London - but he still had doubts. He knew how difficult it is for artists to make returns, and will succeed.
Samantha wants to do some actual project fire from a label to sign them. Harvey gave a pep talk before going on stage:
"Devi. Pick someone in the audience leadand cause them to love you as if to make them. Other than that, have a wonderful time. It will be good. Give it everything you have. "
The show started well and Samantha seemed in her element. She gave her all. An audience member commented:
"I thought it was phenomenal."
Bob Geldof was struck: "It was incredible. She is buried and his spirit is back with another version of itself."
19 Management, the Spice Girls were created to go, callHarvey in the morning:
Harvey was delighted: "Overall, the response has been fantastic."
He had a final debriefing session with Samantha, "I thought it was sensational. Now you have to kick ass and deliver."
Samantha wanted more: "I'm ready to go again!"
Harvey reflects: "Getting this far has not been an easy journey. It 's a real roller coaster. I think we have done as good friends. I think Samantha will have some really great happened that I think will. Deal At the end of the day we end. Great success. "
Samantha's comment: "The bitch is back!"
Samantha had finally gone the extra mile. Was to concentrate on their music and the hard evidence for the show in London. Harvey had also started to listen and do at least some 'of what he said.
He got excited about their goal, is sufficient to proceed, a reality. Your pressure cooker faced a period of six months and the idea wasbefore a select audience in a position of prestige.
He had taken the trouble to come to London and did a great result. Their attitude was not perfect, but fortunately for all of us perfection is not required. Samantha achieved her goal despite many mistakes and failures along the road.
In summary, the lessons:
Set a time limit to get some pressure on. Do not hang up. Focus on at least one main goal for a while '. Do what you say you do.track and excited.
Engaging a great teacher, if possible. Football, if not his own ass. Basically, if necessary. Every opportunity to use that come his way. Do not give up. Forget your mistakes and weaknesses. Go the extra mile.
Although we are only small progress has stopped, you can still be achieved by 'escape La La Land "and our dreams.
