    Fun bit of synchronicity recently. I was at a friend's wedding this weekend and I was sitting with my old acting teacher. The movie came up and I shared my frustrations. "I don't know how to move forward," etc. "F*ck that! Just do it. Don't worry about those agents and managers. You want to get...

    [AMA] Personal Development - hardcore way

    MINDSET AMA 
    What's the most damaging limiting belief that you've reversed? And what was the method you used to do that?

    To move out of home or not?

    Echoing the other posts--- Dude. Move. It's not worth the aggravation. Your parents may WANT what's best for you, but they don't necessarily KNOW what's best for you. Your situation is much better than you think. You are still very young, you have a solid chunk of cash, and you make great money...

    Hit a bit of a setback. The clients I've been prospecting either can't afford the product or it's not a high priority for them. (This industry is usually populated by very big players---my niche was going after smaller companies.) It's possible that my pitch needs work, but I've had some great...

    What do you guys think of Jordan Belfort?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'd classify him as a charismatic, entertaining, amoral scumbag who was really good at sales. Though I always wonder with people like this---is it really hard to be a good salesman when you're lying? I used to work in ad sales (doing well, mind you) and there were always 2-3 guys who had GREAT...

    I've been in Vegas for the last few days to meet with potential clients for my Fastlane business. It's pretty exhausting, but a lot of fun. One thing I noticed was that my pitch improved dramatically as time went on. At first, people were like "Wait, what is it exactly?" And now, I'll get a...

    Ethics and The Cult Of Personality

    MINDSET 
    So I have some friends who are pretty successful life coaches. They make five figures a month for what basically amounts to some phone calls, some "intensives" where they work 5-6 suckers clients all day, and some tele-seminars. They're big into Lifestyle Design and all that. Ironically, it...

    Staged reading went really well. I'll be doing some traveling this week to meet with some potential investors. And my close friend is friends with a pretty big director who has worked with a lot of A-list actors. So after this next polish, we'll be getting the script out to some "names" as well...

    [Free Giveaway] The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod

    BOOKS 
    I've been doing The Miracle Morning for a couple of weeks now. Holy crap. It's incredible. I'm getting up at 5-6am every day, even weekends. I love the quiet in the mornings. It sets such a perfect tone for the rest of the day. All the things that I wished I could do "with more time" (which is...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read this book at least half a dozen times. It's one of those resources you can go to and find something new each time.

    We're having our first staged reading next week. I also had a great conversation with a producer friend of mine, who had some cool tips for financing/deal structures that I'd never even heard of. And just got an email from my first potential client in the Fastlane business, so things are...

    Once you "make it", how do you get rid of the immature "look at me now" thoughts?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    A lot of great comments on this thread. This is one of the many reasons this forum kicks a$$. An apt quote, paraphrased----"Having resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

    CMO Hits the Ceiling Creating Wealth for Others

    INTRO 
    Welcome! Man, I will definitely be hitting you up next year regarding film exhibition pointers. Are there any pain points that a SaaS (software as a service) or other scalable product could solve in those industries?

    The re-writing has taken a turn. After some discussion with the director, we're actually re-tooling some of the scenes in the movie. The good part is that I'll still be writing, but the bad news is that it won't be the actual novel. I'm afraid the book will have to take a backseat to the...

    Just like in screenplays, the real work with this novel is going to be after the first draft. I can't even really call this a true first draft, more like a Zero Draft. There's a lot to add. Some thoughts on the zero draft: There are some really funny parts. And I was able to add a ton of jokes...

    "But can I have 2 dollars?"

    The lady and I were at a restaurant for lunch today. There was a homeless guy outside, sitting by a telephone pole with some poorly drawn "artwork". I should note that he was young, able-bodied, clean-shaven, and wearing clean clothes. The guy mumbled something about wanting to draw us a...

    The WEED Business Idea You Should Totally Steal

    IDEA 
    For all practical purposes, weed is legal in California. There are tons of dispensaries (that sell edibles) all over the state. You just need to get a medical marijuana card, which are almost always granted. Like for, um...back pain. Or insomnia. Or whatever. Incidentally, any B2B sales would...

    I've skimmed over the first draft, but haven't really given it a thorough read-through. Been working on getting my movie-related Fastlane business off the ground, as well as trying to attach actors to the film. That, plus a now-resolved family emergency, has taken up a ton of time. Looking...
