I am Lucas Ray Lehman - Expert life coach
I am standing with my band on stage at the El Portal, a landmark 350 seat art deco theatre in Los Angeles. It’s the second night of the 12 show run of “Prime,” my own original rock musical, and the curtain is slowly rising. My fingers quiver with adrenaline, poised over the fretboard of my electric guitar.
I have invested over $60,000 of my own money and racked up over $100,000 in credit card debt to reach this moment, but over the past month I feel an increasing dread that my show will be a flop and all the money will be lost.
But my biggest fear isn’t about the money, which is already gone. No, it’s the fear of having to perform to empty houses, even now evoking painful memories of playing on the streets of Northampton, Massachusetts, singing my songs to no one.
