Being Productive

Stay productive by doing 3 things:
-set a goal
-set actions you will take
-set reminders

Automatically get clients by systematizing your business

Think in terms of how to make your business work automatically. Think about what you would do if you could only work 4 hours a week. How would you change your business so you can be more productive? Instead of you making calls, get people to do it for you. Instead of sending a newsletter to several people, get an email marketing service. You should always think of ways to be more productive, not busy.

Networking

Networking is the number 1 way you will book gigs as an entertainer. People who have seen you personally will be more apt to hiring you instead of someone they have not seen. You want to meet people but networking is about getting people to want to meet you.

STOP giving people your business

Do you give people your business cards? If you do, then you're doing it wrong. Some people do not want your business card so they will just throw it away when you leave and you have wasted your time. Your goal is to get them to want your business cards...there is a huge difference.

When is comes to restaurant magic, you need to approach the right way.

Stop thinking about ways to approach tables. Start thinking about ways to get tables to want you to approach them.
