You Business

Dear grasshopper, many of our tribe members experienced a world-view shifting “aha” moment when I mentioned that you have to be in the “You Business.” 

Here’s what I mean. You’re not actor, you’re a product. This is the way the industry sees you, and since they make the decisions on whether or not you are a working actor, it’s best that you start looking at things from their perspective. 

When you do this you open your mind to all kinds of things, that you would have otherwise been blind to. When you think of a successful product, in any market, what made it succeed was that it filled a market need by solving a problem. This is true from food products, to cars, and yes even actors. 

So if you are a product, and all successful products fill a market need and solve problems, wouldn’t it make sense that you consider what problem you’re solving. 

You have to solve a problem the industry has and fill a need in the market if you want to be successful in the industry. You do this by being different. If you look around an audition room and fit right in, you’re in big trouble. 

This is why child actors tend to go from 0 to 100. Yes, the Disney machine is a wonderful thing but the real reason that they can take off like wildfire is that “tweens” who can act well, fill a market need that always exists. 

So, what market need are you filling? 

15 minutes in the spotlight

Dear grasshopper, is it better to have loved and lost or to have never loved at all?

In an odd way, that’s kind of what we’re talking about today…

Would you rather have your 15 minutes in the spotlight or would rather not have it at all? Because you are a member of the tribe, you may never have to make this choice.

Here’s what I mean. Success is scientific. It can be broken down into replicable steps and systems. So if there’s a formula for fame, you can duplicate that formula and achieve it for yourself.

By the way, in speaking of fame, I don’t mean the shallow can’t make a Starbucks run without paparazzi in your face kind of fame. I mean fame, as in being a successful actor that is recognized for their talent and roles they play.

More Leo or Mindy Kaling, not at all Bella (Thorne)!

3 Bubbles

Dear grasshopper, one of the things I love most about writing for you is that I’m constantly challenging myself to dissect what has worked to take actors to the next level. Today’s release really made me do that in a way that I hadn’t done in a while.

This turned out to be one of the most important pieces of content I will probably ever write. Once you understand what I’m sharing with you today, your swagger will absolutely change for good!

I’m about to break down for you the 3 bubbles that exist in the industry and how you can operate within them to thrust your career forward. Once you know what the 3 bubbles are, and you can identify which bubble you are operating in at any given time, you will have an unbeatable strategy for moving forward.

Not only that, I’m also going to cover how to make yourself irresistible in any given situation to achieve your desired outcome, specifically how to quickly connect with a casting director, producer, agent, or anyone else in the industry.

No one in our business has ever talked about this before so I’m happy to bring it to you now.

Theory of the Organizers

Dear grasshopper, there are many ways that you can get what you want out of your career and out of life itself. 

It starts with the way you act. The beauty of our business is that you don’t have to come from a long line of successful actors to be accepted. If you look at the current crème de la crème, you will see that they are all the only ones that “made it.” 

Sure, some of them come from a showbiz family, but they will without exception tell you that it’s only hindered them. Being, Will Smith’s son for example has more challenges than just being Jayden. 

What’s great about the industry is that if you do what successful actors do you will eventually get the same result. 

The Demonstration of Power Pack

Dear grasshopper, if you’re on this page, it’s probably because something about The Demonstration of Power Pack intrigued you. 

Rightfully so! Before I give you the details on it though, take just a second and allow yourself to approach this concept with an open mind. 

It’s simple yet brilliant. When you read about it you might think that it’s way too much work for you to take on, or that your situation is different. 

Relax. You can actually pull this off with materials you already have and it’s deceptively simple. 

Plus, at the end, I’ll give you examples for how to do this easily and on the cheap. I’ll also go over how this will for you in multiple situations. 

Cool? Cool.

Big innovation

When talking pictures were first introduced, not everyone was convinced that they would be a hit. Many people thought they would be a simple fad that would soon be over. Those that didn’t adapt to the changing landscape where never heard from again. 

What we’re talking about today is just as big of an innovation. 

This is something that tends to get lost on us actors, and you might be wondering what tech innovations have to do with your acting career. 

Stick with me for a moment…
