13. How will you compliment the work that your agent is
doing? In other words, what will you do to promote
yourself aside from what he or she will already be doing
for you?
14. What will you do to promote yourself in a way that
is different than most of the other actors?
15. What kind of person will you need to become in
order to achieve what you want? In other words, what
characteristics will you have in the future that you don’t
have now that will help you get where you are going?
Asking these questions for starters is part of a proven
method of goal achievement, that can be applied to any
career. It's what I learned in my life as a corporate
senior manager in Nike and Levi's. It's what has helped me
over the years to achieve goals over and over again. It's
what has helped me thus far in my new endeavors as an
entrepreneur, writer, motivational speaker and actor,
having done film, television, industrials, voice-over,
commercial work. Going through these crucial first steps
can seem like a waste of time, but it's all about
positioning yourself for success. Having said that, I will
leave you with a quote from Abraham Lincoln who once said:
"If I had three hours to chop down a tree, I would
spend the first hour sharpening the axe."
In the next article, I will talk about getting even
closer, by asking yourself very specific short-term acting
career goal questions.
