I have to play the odds on answering this one. There's a high probability that if you work the program, you won't recognize yourself in 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 6 months, or certainly in a year.

I don't know where you're starting from but alumni have come from all levels of success and found new mindsets, practices, tools, and strategies for building their business.

My best advice:
Show up coachable.
Check your ego at the door. 
Trust the process.
Take risks that scare you.

This is a close cousin of the first question, isn't it? And my answer is similar.

If you are willing to get really uncomfortable - like seeing how quickly you can implement what you learn and get to a 100 Nos, you'll find some delicious yeses in there that will be, if history is any indicator, the most satisfying gigs of your life.

We move out of the realm of waiting and into creating - and that's a whole different world than most entertainers have ever played in. 

My best advice:
Show up coachable.
Check your ego at the door. 
Trust the process.
Take risks that scare you.

It's one of the best ways to assure that neither of us are wasting our time and are fully present for the application process. At any point during the written or live interview, either of us can end the process and all payments will be immediately refunded. 

We both put something on the line that is valuable to us.

Fair enough... I started on the sunny-or-rainy stages of Renaissance Festivals across America back in 1982. As 1/2 of the Raspyni Brothers, I made my name in a strange little niche of show business that we actually helped to create: Corporate entertainment. That's a market that requires Wall Street Level skills in communicating a message, making proposals, and delivering results.

In the '80s and '90s I made a pretty big mark on television (when, ya know, that was a thing!) including The Tonight Show, a Showtime Comedy Special, a Presidential Command Performance, and a ton of other shows. During those years I was also an opening act for everyone who was anyone on the national touring circuit including Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Tom Jones, Howie Mandel, Patti LaBelle, and about 24 more. 

In more modern times I used my network and business chops to become who the curator of the TED Conference called "two guys who have brought more laughs to TED than all other speakers combined!" 6 Main Stage TED Talks without ever having invented or cured anything.

In 2011 I created something called The ShowBiz Blueprint and have run it annually for the last 10 years - 16 sessions in all. 

I strongly believe that entertainers are here to save the world by telling/showing culture when it's ok to connect, laugh, and live.

During our 8 weeks together, and for the rest of your career going forward, you're going to be immersed in the processes that separate you from the pack. These processes were all developed and/or perfected by Barry during his 34-year career as 1/2 of the comedy/juggling act, The Raspyni Brothers.

Put it this way: if you get an inquiry and either a) tell them your price and availability or b) go into panic mode about how you are "going to sell yourself", you're entire world of chaos is about to change. If you see your fee as anything more than a simple line item in your proposal, you're going to bathe in the peace of how you run your business going forward.

Systems, measurable metrics, strategies for building relationships, making offers, and using powerful mental triggers are foundations for how we run business in this world. And if you already know and do all that, you'll still find a dozen ways to change everything about your business.

A couple answers...
1. You could sneak by and listen to the modules, attend the weekly live meeting, and only invest a few hours a week. That alone will get under your skin and get you thinking differently about your market, position, value, and relationships.

2. You can do an hour a day and rewire your thinking so the blueprint happens automatically. That is an average - some days will be lighter and some you might not want to come up for air.

3. The ShowBiz Blueprint is a long-game, life changer... We've had members who couldn't make the live calls and still thrive in the course and community - and most importantly in their business.

You will have access to the modules, bonuses, resources, and ever-growing library of content for at least 11 years. At the end of your 8-week session of SBBP you'll be added to the alumni group which is the place you've been looking for your entire career.

Count on it - and, quit standing up on a shaky ladder to look over the fence and see what others are doing! 

In this program I'm going to turn off a whole lot of noise, time-wasters, and lousy practices that are keeping you where you're at.

No. ShowBiz Blueprint is a group coaching program. That said - you'll get 1:1 time with Barry and our coaching team on our weekly group Q&A calls. 

We have alumni who do everything from kid's parties to Broadway - and literally everything in between. 

The principles of ShowBiz Blueprint will make you stand out in YOUR market and rise above the noise, price wars, and overall race-to-the-bottom that so many entertainers typically use for running their business.

I'm not exactly sure, but it probably has something to do with how hard I make it it join. By the time you're accepted (after making a payment, completing a written application, and having a live interview with me) we are both on the same page with regard to expectations, what we're each bringing to the table, willingness to go all in, and what might get in the way of this working. 

This isn't a program where you pay a fee and I forget about you. For 8 weeks and beyond I am up in your face and you are showing up bigger than you ever knew you could.

Who's going to experience THAT and then complain about it?!
