1. Have you researched this/their world? Everyone has a community of people related to a profession. Where do they hang out both on line and off line?…in your area and other places. This brings up the question, would you be willing to move if necessary?

2. When ever you’re breaking into a new arena be ready to do stuff for free. So would that mean you doing some standup yourself just to test out some stuff? Or scope out comedy clubs, look for comedians you’d like to work with and establish collaborative relationships.

I think these are 2 ways to get you started. I applaud your desire to pursue you desire..new year…new direction! Let me know how it’s going.

To a great 2010!

My answer to your coaching question is that the first thing you should do is set a goal. Whether it is to get a job, get promoted, be found online or just to vent, by setting a goal you focus all of your efforts to make sure you achieve it. Next would come the strategy that will outline the specifics of how you will achieve this goal which may be your next post which I look forward too!

Thanks again for the mention and keep up the great work.
