Hey there. So I want to talk about what your _F*ckThis_ moment is. Because watching Viola, kill it, make history and be a serious badass should have inspired us all in a very big way. So the reason that things like that happen is because people get to a point where they're like, _You know what, what I'm doing is not working. So let's just F*ckThis, get to work and start doing something that will start working._ And in this day and age, where everybody goes on about gratitude list, I want you to do less wishing and hoping and more doing. The only way to get movement in the field of your dreams is to take action in your career. Because what I've seen from the amazing surveys that you all filled out is some crae, crae. Okay, 44% of everybody that filled out the survey wants to move into film and television. Another 20% want representation. And then when I ask what's standing in your way, I get six different reasons of why you're not working in TV and film and why you don't have an agent and a manager. COGNITIVE DISSONANCE Then when I ask for a link to your website, I get "cricketssss" which tells me you're not serious because there is no where online where I can find you, see your work and give you a job. So what you say you want and what you're actually doing are in direct opposition to each other. ---------- The other group wants to make their own work. And then when I ask Why haven't you finished a script, I get _I can't write, I don't know what to write, I don't make the time._ And then when I ask: What's standing in the way, you give me six different things that have nothing to do with picking up a pen and paper and writing. What all of this tells me is that you're not at _F*ckThis_. Because when you're at _F*ckThis_, there's one thing that is working on your last nerve, and you want to get rid of it. And here's what that DOES NOT look like: Sending me a list of six different goals over the next 6 months that look like: I want to finish a script, get an agent, move to LA book a guest star, recurring, series regular. Firstly, this is not a list that you can accomplish in 6 months. that you can't possibly get done in six months. Second, the things that you've written down are not within your control. And I would wager that when people tell me the reason they haven't reached a goal is that they make a list of things that aren't within their control. But (wait for it) It also means means that the things that are within their control, they haven't done. Ouch! (sorry, not sorry.) I call this syndrome PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW what you need to do to get to where you want to be. So, let's start with making a list of everything you're pretending not to know. Once you've done that we'll know exactly where to begin our work together. Once you've made that list, make sure you SIGNUP AND SHOWUP for the free mini course and LIVE class THIS SATURDAY HERE
