    Life is short - Enjoy it!

    The lessons that I had to repeat over and over again throughout the last 80+ episodes is "Enjoy life" or its favourite cousin "Life is short". This episode gives you a short reminder why this is important - and not self-indulgent.

    Health

    Barbara La Marr, Errol Flynn and John Barrymore are just three examples from the myriads of Old Hollywood stars that tried to cheat nature and abused both alcohol and their bodies. Others like Gloria Swanson and Greta Garbo put an emphasis on their health early on. The outcome? Predictable.

    Change is good

    Old Hollywood is a stellar example of an ever changing environment. From theatre to silent movies to sound movies, to radio, to TV - the actors and actresses that made Old Hollywood great were multi-interested and diversified their incomes and talents. Embracing changes and diving fully in is definitely part of the success formula. Listen in to find out what you can learn from them.

    Hard Work

    Researching Old Hollywood, I found there was one prevalent topic almost always at play – and that was hard work. I guess, in a way, back then in the early 20th century, this was just what was expected from people.

    Do you need a new name?

    Your name is your image. It will influence how others see you and how you see yourself. Old Hollywood actors and actresses often changed their name to a more appealing sounding stage name - and rightly so. Names do possess power. How can you use this for the creation of your extraordinary life?

    A Personal Brand requires (a lot of) work

    If there is anything that I would immediately sign off as being true is that Old Hollywood was full of personal brands. Personal brands nowadays are rare – even though the topic is hotter now than ever. If you look at the models and photospreads, they all look alike. The beauty standards have pretty much narrowed and authenticity and personality have become harder to find in a way.

    You need a vision!

    What does it need to make decisions, to tap into your intuition and to create your live deliberately. So, what you need to make decisions and achieve success is a vision, a destination of what you want to create. And of course, Old Hollywood is full of people that had a vision. Something that propelled them forwards, sustained them through long periods of time and helped them create the life they always wanted. In essence this is what created Hollywood.

    Determination and Denial

    When I was researching the actress Tallulah Bankhead, I read a book on her and other showgirls and flappers of that time and one passage of the book was: “(But) Tallulah possessed wonderful powers of determination and denial.“ I immediately LOVED this quote. There is so much wisdom in it and since then this has become my favorite motto. Because these are two very important ingredients as to what it takes to create a life that you actually want and love.
