An Idea To Move You

What are you waiting for?

The right time? It's now.

To be "ready"? You'll never be ready.

When it's perfect? Ha! It never will be. But that's adorable.

We're here for a blip. A. Blip. Whatever it is, stop waiting. DO it.

A Thought to Touch You*

$1.1 million, even over 6 years, is objectively a lot of money, potentially a life-changing amount of money for many people. And I’m not here to say if you got this audition and submitted that you made a bad choice. I’m not here to judge you.

I made a decision for me and my business to pass, and not even audition for a couple of main reasons. And I’m making this content to give you some points to consider if you ever get an audition like this.

A Quote to Inspire You

*Today's Thought...

...is from this week's content, $1.1M Audition! Why I PASSED and Maybe YOU Should Have Too.

Why would anyone in their right mind PASS on a $1.1 million audition?

And Paul, aren’t you the one always beating us over the head with, “Stand up for pro rates, “Know your worth,” “Make it worth your time,” and on and on?

So why did I pass on a 1.1 million-dollar commercial audition? Why did I not even take a swing? Have I stroked out? Lost my marbles? Has Pauly’s Little Choo-Choo gone around the bend?

Today I’m going to lay out for you exactly why it took me less than two minutes to pass on this opportunity, and why maybe…you should have, too.
