Are You Willing To Do What It Takes?

There is nothing as exhilarating and satisfying as success. And nothing quite as elusive. Achieving my goals has required perseverance, a strong belief in myself, and a commitment to do whatever it takes. Each triumph has had its own set of obstacles:

• My promotion to Director of Development, East Coast for NBC, where I had to start as a secretary.
• The mini-series I developed aired to critical acclaim and high ratings, despite people’s doubts that this new form could succeed.
• Five Emmy nominations despite ongoing creative and production problems.
• My scripts airing after fighting for the opportunity to write for the show.

You can be a winner and achieve your goals if you:

1. Admit you want to be successful. – You’re not in this merely for creative expression. You want your work to be televised and/or filmed. You want to win an Emmy and/or an Oscar. You’ve been practicing your acceptance speech since you were old enough to talk.

2. Admit you want to MAKE MONEY - If it costs seven million dollars to do a prime-time one-hour pilot and Charlie Sheen can get paid $350,000 per episode for a half-hour sitcom, then SOMEONE IS MAKING MONEY. You want it to be you.

3. Accept that if you want the competitive edge, you must INVEST MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.

• You invest in the professional expertise you need to develop your projects and to learn how to pitch them.
• Produce professional looking treatments, printed nicely on good paper with rich looking covers.
• Network. Taking people to lunch or a drink is part of selling your project. You are prepared to go to LA to pitch your projects if necessary.
• You never say you don’t have the money for what you need to do. YOU FIND IT.
