Opportunity is attracted to movement.
Ever notice how job offers, new clients and requests come flying in the moment you decide to focus on your own creation?
This seems to be true in the acting world. It’s like a Murphy’s law of sorts; you wait for the phone to ring and it never does. Then you decide to go build a sand castle and it’s ringing off the hook.
We have to be careful though…
We mustn’t make the sand castle to try and coax the opportunity; it doesn’t work that way.
We also mustn’t create movement for movement’s sake; creating more busy-ness doesn’t help.
The real secret is building a sand castle so grand and so exciting, that when the phone rings you genuinely consider not answering it.
That’s where the real juice is. When your sand castle is more compelling than someone else’s (and it will be, because you made it the way you like) you end up leaving them to do their thing and guess what?
You’ll be picking up the phone to call in some talented people looking to apply their skills.
Don’t wait for the phone.
Become the phone.
