Secret # 3: See how you can get involved in your market right now.
In the past, it would take some time before I realized I worried myself into a whirlwind and would hardly be able to answer a question or strike up a conversation even though I like to. You know how it is: before you know it, you haven’t been listening and missed a bunch of important moments and opportunities to contribute to solutions.
Working the Mind Shift exercises and cycling through the things we’ve learned in the modules has quickly taught me how to kick the doubt to the curb and focus on my tasks with confidence. Now, I say to myself on set, “everyone is nervous about messing up. It’s not just you. Help them relax and it will relax you. Breathe. Now, who looks like they could use some help?”
I recently became single after 25 years of primarily being a stay-at-home mom. Being a part of Friends In Film motivated me to be fearless in the pursuit of my new career in the world of film. It hasn’t been easy doing three jobs to pay for my independence but I wouldn’t change this decision for anything. I directly credit the confidence I have received through Janet’s amazing trainings for the fact that I ended the year with my own relationship radio show.
I was going to pay a lot of money to finish a course to become an immigration interpreter which I did in the past and hated. I am so much happier working on my dream to be a script supervisor, actress, and talk-show host. I booked my first role on a film on January 2, 2022 in a short called “Room Service”, with an amazing cast.
I’ve been trying to get into the industry after 3 years of no progress and coming out of film school in 2018. The loss of confidence I had was astounding: I’ve been too timid to get out and try to get a crew and make my dreams a reality.
The 20 Shoots Program gave us reinforcements to deal with failure directly. I was able to tackle my powerless state, turn it around, and take the vital steps forward. Now I have arsenals for both getting new on-set experiences and for my mental state. I’m working with a lot of different people much more actively; these experiences are giving me some well-needed reminders of the skills I once had.
