One of the learnings I apply from my previous ‘life’ as a Creative Director is an almost obsessive attention to detail.
When you want to win awards in film, radio or design, you are competing with the best of the best to be recognised at awards shows like Cannes or the Oscars.
In my time as a trainer and nutritionist, I’ve seen so many people give so much to win, and then they throw it away with poor accuracy of ex*****on in the last ‘lap’.
Recently in a BTSTV seminar presented by Olympia Judge, Becky Clawson, she affirmed how many incredible athletes left their procard to be picked up by another competitor just because they couldn’t present their package in its most desirable state.
I’ve had a handful of clients weeks out of a show, still not knowing how much salt they add to their daily meals, or what their fluid intake is. Some swap potassium rich foods in their prescribed diet for something else, and when they don’t peak as they expected, they are shocked.
Precision is going to give you an edge that others do not have. Spent the extra time on making your stage presentation as close to perfect as you can, plan ahead for your meals, read your plans carefully.
Did you know golden era icon, Tom Platz admitted that he practiced his stage smile weeks ahead of his shows to make sure he could do it for the full duration on stage? That kind of attention to detail creates legacy, just like Oscar winning films or great compositions do.
The best of the best are masters of their craft
