Making Yourself Marketable In Hollywood, CA

Sep 29, 2011   //   by admin   //   Blog  //  No Comments

I find it hard to believe that people still believe that you can come to Hollywood and be found.  Nothing in the world is given, it is earned.  Structure your life and don’t give up!

How do you market yourself in today’s market?

1. Volunteer work. Put yourself around like minded people who are a few steps ahead of you.  The more things you get involved with the better.  Look busy, since most people like to see personal momentum.

2. Photos.  Find a creative, hip photographer that has a good network of peeps.  These people are connectors and you need to keep them close to you.  They aren’t hired to find you work, but if you find a good character they will vest in your success. [I KNOW A FEW]

3. Website.  Find a guy that knows what the he’s doing[ME] that can help you develop your brand from all the recent cool stuff you’ve done. Whoever tells you that a website is so vintage, tell them vintage is in.  Besides they most likely do not have money in their budget to pay a web developer if they are telling you this.  Social media is necessary, but never the primary source for your brand.

4.  Network.  Get out to events, festivals, there is always something going on in LA.  Be sure to always have business cards with you.  Not in the budget?  Go to www.Vistaprint.com for cheap prints.  This is a must!

5. Last but not least create a social media campaign and keep it translucent.  Make it a personal journal of your daily ups and downs.  If you are actually trying to find success you will become relative to people with the same mentality.  These people eventually become supporters and even friends if you let it.

Although I am extremely busy with several projects, I always have time for the next breakout!  Please email or message me on Facebook with what you like about yourself or what you are doing.  Be creative! =)

Relationships are a very important part in the process of achieving success. Establishing a new relationship can be easy, but building and maintaining it is the challenge. In this tip I have mentioned a few rules that have been important to me.

Rule #1 – Network. Put yourself out there and network! This is essentially your source to finding the relationships to build. Break your shy tendencies. It’s a negative field that can be broken with reminding yourself on how much success that one person can bring you. Read more >>

Turning Negative Into Positive

Apr 6, 2011   //   by admin   //   Blog  //  No Comments

Is the glass half full or half empty?  Really think about the core of your thinking.  The foundation can either place you in a uphill battle or a downhill joy ride.  Focus on solutions to your challenges, and remove the need for excuses.  Excuses eventually become chronic, creating a lack of performance.

What do you mean by turning negative into positive?  Well, when you achieve a certain level of SUCCESS, you need to expect things to come with it. These things are in place to simply test you and prepare you for the next level. You will never understand why others will try to break you down(so don’t), their reasoning is only human. Drake said it best, “The more you grow, the more the hate grows.” The only way to be strong is to rise even higher, where the hate will never grow. Meaning stay so focused on your goals that your altitude will increase with it.

Also remember that without these negatives you will not succeed, so it’s important to use it in your favor. If you understand it help others, because it’s never easy, but this part of the process will make you the strongest!

 

 

Keeping The Happy Mood…

Apr 6, 2011   //   by admin   //   Blog  //  No Comments

Happiness is something that we choose to have within our emotions, because it comes from within.  We choose happiness similar to the way we choose what to wear or what kind of lifestyle we have, not by any outside force.

If you want to go tanning, then you are telling your mind that you will feel happy with a tan.  If you go to a car wash, you are telling your mind that you will be happy with a clean car.

Now that you know you hold the happiness within your own mind and spirit, how do you battle opposition and maintain these thoughts?

A great quote that I have always lived by is, “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” Read more >>

We all have different periods in our life that build up tensions that we only see when we analyze our attitudes.  This can be done easily by taking a step back to look at the bigger picture about ourselves and our surroundings.

Attitude is a decision

Here are some great attitude questions that we should ask ourselves daily, weekly or monthly:

1.  How do you handle yourself when you feel the world is against you?

2. Would you describe yourself as an optimist or a pessimist? Read more >>

10 Daily Quotes To Live By…

Apr 6, 2011   //   by admin   //   Blog  //  No Comments

As we all have had our share of daily struggles in life,  I personally have used quotes to help me find answers.  Since June of last year I have been posting quotes that I have found useful in my life.  Generally these quotes are surrounded with positiveness in attitudes and characters, both business and personal.

As I’ve searched to make a difference in my life, I wondered if the process could help others at the same time?  Well there’s a process called “saying is believing”, and in this process a communicator has a lasting effect to recall these things in their personal life and development.  Meaning that as I found quotes and sayings that helped me, communicating them to others reminded me in my daily routine as they also helped others.  This was very reassuring to be able to connect with people who dealt with similar struggles, sometimes just daily stress and drama.  Remember that we are all human in nature and mind, and are made imperfect.  Life is a lesson and we should always remind ourselves daily to stay positive and it all starts with our inner thoughts.

10 daily quotes to live by:

1.  “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when their right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust noone but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” — Marilyn Monroe Read more >>
