Mentalpolics ::: Sharpen Your Sword in whatever you do


I have come to realize the nature of breaking into entertainment, as one, being, degrading as any other field of interest in the world. It does not matter what you want to do in life you are going to hit roadblocks that will make attempts to prevail over you. Whether those events succeed is up to the will in each person or entity that encounters the tragic nature of these perils.

Take for instance becoming a professional in the 9 to 5 world, trying to escape bills by earning the money needed to pay them off. You end up in this cycle that can and will break you down if you do not structure the plan that will allow you to move beyond the cycle. Realizing in the beginning is crucial to your survival as to what it will take to make it past the first stages of career incubation.

Much needed preparation is needed, and often times if we do not have many plans to execute we fail. Putting in to play one plan at a time will allow you to have a reservation plan waiting in case of failure within the first.

I attacked my career with a naive misunderstanding assuming that all it will take is my drive. My will to succeed! This was not enough and I needed more knowledge and understanding that would be the education in order to take on the perils of my industry. My street smarts were not first class, my book smarts were A-, and my Network was empty. With the lack of these instruments in proper form, I joined a loosing war, with a few battle wins, that allowed me to continue, but in total a loss none the less. However without them I would have otherwise quit and not realize the potential for growth. To streamline my thought process

From all of that I have learned what is needed in order to get into the game of life. It does not vary. No matter your profession you will face a host of obstacles that I like to call politics masked in policy. What all of us call Bull Shit.

So if you plan on breaking into Entertainment, you must sharpen your sword, and get ready for battle. Do your homework always!

Earn those contacts, Network with everyone that you come in contact with no matter their profession. Knowing people goes a long way. Caution on using your network for selfish purposes make sure always that it is mutually beneficial to the two of you, so that the resource is always available.

Gather information and share it, as well as internalize it. Knowing is prosperous, and sharing it is the wealth something that is very valuable indeed.

Do not allow losses to be the winner. Loss has enough wins, just take a drive or a walk around the city you live in and you will…see it, and if you don’t, you are not going far enough. The world can reverse itself, but the world is the people, nothing else, so once you, you, and you begin to realize this, then a new tomorrow will arrive, and all will become successful at what they do. Then when you take that walk; that area that was once down, is now up.
So whether you are in entertainment, a practice professional, such as lawyer or doctor, and a person branching out into the world through education or pure entrepreneurial will. You have the ability if you have the desire, but remember preparation makes desire reality. If you fumble, get back up, the horse did not throw you off, you lack of understanding the horse was the cause of ending up in the dirt face first.
