I have been a football coach and a school superintendent. Like a comic, when you are standing alone on the stage, it is easy for the least talented to be the most critical and the most vocal. Having a purpose and an “end in mind” can enable us to move past the critics. A great read on this is Carol Dweck’s Mindset. It is not a book about being on stage, but she explains concisely how to focus on continuous improvement in whatever you do. By focusing on getting better as a comic, what the critics say will have little effect on getting laughs and getting better at performing.
