That can be useful for people looking for certain types of games, but it also means that the designers can end up being pigeonholed, which can have a negative impact on their professional future in our hobby.

In this episode, we chat with Zeff Reeves, MD of Tesoro Resources, who is an Australian publicly listed company with exploration-stage gold assets in Chile. It is in the process of carrying out a significant drilling program at its flagship El Zorro Project to identify and establish targetsZeff is a geologist and executive with over 20 years of experience in the resources sector who has significant management and operational experience in the gold and base metals sectors within Australia and overseas. He talks about the company and their flagship El Zorro Gold project and the progress they have made so far. He is also going to be speaking at the upcoming Mines and Money event in London at the end of November so be sure to meet up with him. See the offer in the Episode Resources section to get your ticket at a discounted rate.KEY TAKEAWAYS As a geologist, it is important not to have tunnel vision. Pigeonholing deposits prevent you from discovering other ores or minerals that may be present. Tesoro Resources is in control of over 600sq km of concessions, in Chile. Since 2017, they have drilled over 105,000 metres. Using a unique approach, they have uncovered a million-ounce-plus resource quickly. Being able to drill diamond cores early has played a significant role in their success. The few drill holes that have not resulted in finds taught them a huge amount. So far, they have identified 10 potential deposits. In Chile, both power and water can be an issue. But neither is a problem in the area Tesoro Resources operates in. There are plenty of very experienced miners available for work in Chile. BEST MOMENTS‘Myself and a couple of other guys have been really integral to delineation discovery design. ´‘They are able to directly sample those rocks and assess them for potential, for gold mineralization.'‘There's been some recent initiatives by the Chilean government to really reinvigorate foreign investment into Chile.'EPISODE RESOURCESWebsite: https://tesorogold.com.au/LinkedIn: https://iq.linkedin.com/company/tesoro-goldTwitter: https://twitter.com/TesoroGoldLtd“Resourcing Tomorrow” is Europe's largest and most in-depth mining conference dedicated to global sustainability goals and is coming to London this November.

In this new Floor Finds I sat together with Henk Poort to discuss what it is like to be put in a box by others and what it feels like and the impact it can have on someone. What are your experiences? Time to get out of those boxes, or pigeonholes!

A brief discussion of this fallacy of judgment from Dr. Cohen.

So many people suffer from it. We work in one area of editing but have always considered it a stepping stone and never the destination for our career. It’s a difficult subject to discuss and has many factors at play.But with some thought-out strategy, some bravery and some inside knowledge of how staffing decisions are made on productions, there's no reason why we can't jump free of the curse of pigeonholing and build the career we've always wanted.We’re also making another exciting announcement about our new Bootcamp live training, so stay tuned for that at the end of the show.

This week the ladies discuss how Netflix, YouTube, Instagram ads (etc) and maybe even Google are pigeonholing us into only seeing content based on our interests and past behaviour. Is bad or good? On one hand, you are being recommend music, films or content that you are more likely going to be interested in. Then again on the other, you may be missing out on other content that would interest you, because it's not deemed as 'relevant' to you. They also introduce a new feature to the podcast, where Hannah rants about something SEO related, to get it off her chest. What do you think this week’s feature is about? You guessed it, as this episode is all about pigeonholing, Hannah quizzes Sarah on her pigeon knowledge… how much do you know about our feathered friends?

Ep80: How to Avoid Getting Pigeonholed, The ‘Concentric Circles of Networking’ & More | with Doc Crotzer, ACE Here’s a hard truth few are willing to admit: Pigeonholing is not an accident. As frustrating as it might be to believe, “I keep getting pigeonholed,” the more accurate viewpoint is that you allow yourself to become pigeonholed. The process happens slowly over a period of years (or even decades) similar to the frog that doesn’t realize the water is slowly reaching a boiling point. But often by the time you realize the water is boiling…it’s too late. And the number one reason you ended up there is because you used the word ‘Yes’ way too often. Luckily pigeonholing can be avoided…if you know how to play the networking game. My guest today, Doc Crotzer, has avoided being pigeonholed his entire career. He’s edited such shows as Glee, American Horror Story, Sons of Anarchy, Impulse, and he recently transitioned from editing to directing on the show Good Behavior. Of all the people I know in Hollywood, nobody’s name comes up more than Doc Crotzer. I have met so many people that know Doc, I’ve begun teaching people the ‘Six Degrees of Doc Crotzer’ networking game, because everyone knows this guy. And here’s the thing…the fact that everyone knows Doc? That’s not an accident. In this conversation Doc and I talk about his rapid rise to stardom from a Midwestern college journalism major who landed an interview with Robert Zemeckis for his “student” documentary project about Back to the Future all the way until today. And more importantly, Doc and I break down what he calls the ‘Concentric Circle of Networking’ so you can connect with and build relationships with the right people on projects you’re passionate about…so you can ultimately avoid being pigeonholed as someone who can “only do one thing.” Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here’s What You’ll Learn: Building the right relationships and finding the right projects How to network without feeling lost in the process Doc’s early days cutting videos on tape decks How Doc got interviews with Christopher Lloyd, Robert Zemeckis, and the boom operator on Back to the Future before he had even entered the film industry Learning how to take advantage of people’s desire to help you Figuring out if going to film school will help your craft or hinder it How to make lasting connections with the people you just cross paths with in Hollywood Perfecting your craft so you can take the advantage of career opportunities and connections when they knock on your door Our Generous Sponsors: This episode is made possible for you by Ergodriven, the makers of the Topo Mat, my #1 recommendation for anyone who stands at their workstation.

Guest Bio: Twitter|Instagram Doc Crotzer, ACE, is an editor, producer, and director. He started editing in the late ’80s when he hooked two VCRs together to duplicate a copy of Back to the Future he had first recorded off of a TV Broadcast. He honed his craft a few years later using the same VCRs to make one seamless version of all 3 Back to the Future movies as a 6-hour epic and has been editing ever since. His work includes Glee, Sons of Anarchy, the upcoming Apple show Truth Be Told and the upcoming film Chaos Walking. He doesn’t still use VCRs to edit.

Can work shadowing help you find the right role for you? Short answer: Absolutely! Long answer, in her podcast Chartered Occupational Psychologist Lucy Standing describes the evidence base to prove it. Listen to this pragmatic, humble innovator here. As founder of social enterprise Viewvo, Lucy is creating a market for returners or career pivoters to encounter a life in the day of their dream job. Carefully vetted "experts" will allow them to experience their ideal job field. The results are remarkable and in each case stop clients wasting precious time being fearful of making the wrong move or indeed any move. Here are the highlights of the podcast (with timings): Just Do It 1.35 – I need to do my best to change the status quo –I tire of people whining and not taking action We Need to Change The Way We Are Recruiting 1.44 Our decisions are improved by having an experience of whatever we are deciding about before we do it, not with a general mental ability/integrity test and a job sample (current model) 3.07 Work experience in the form of internships and apprenticeships is becoming more popular. Gives people a chance to prove themselves 3.44 At Chase Manhattan Lucy introduced internships. On every single metric the interns were more successful in the medium term due to work shadowing 4.56 Nurses who had a chance of work shadowing in their trainings were 60% more likely to complete their diploma so (getting some experience) was incredibly powerful 5.05 I am giving people a chance to test drive the work they think they want to do e.g. a guy from a private equity firm who looked at a micro brewery; and invested hundreds of thousands before deciding against it as a career after work shadowing 6.17 From a day of working with a fashion designer, Mary now has a factory and ten staff! How Viewvo Work Shadowing Helps You Find a Job 7.15 Each "expert" crafts their own experience of real life e.g. the author 8.4 Viewvo has come to help someone who does not have social privilege, who may be taken less seriously. e.g. Rosetta who is continuing a working partnership with her “expert” 12.2 How Vive works: will feed Viewvo as an outplacement service How Lucy Manages Her Portfolio of Work 14.08 –Everyone is supportive of each other at the ABP. Forging trust and being tolerent of each other is key 15.39 We are driven by drive to learn, defend, acquire and bond. They change in emphasis through life so our career preferences change Sometimes Passion can Cloud Performance 17.09 There may not be a market for your passion. I cannot necessarily guaranteed myself a job out of my passion 18.35 Success (who will get promoted) is not predicted on passion rather: proactivity, extroversion, conscientiousness. Passion is not the predictor How much Can You Actually Glean in a Day’s Shadowing? 20.00. We apply our developed “taste buds”and the number of skills you can apply to any job are quite limited 20.48 Evidence would seem to be work shadowing helps you establish whether job is right or not e.g. Vanorama call centre Too much emphasis is placed on knowledge and experience 22.22 Emphasis on knowledge and experience are incorrect. We should be putting emphasis on transferrable skills 24.03 Pigeonholing people into vertical sectors is very non-2019 Two Things that You Know for Sure That Bring Success 24.25 Two things I know for sure that you need to pivot in your career are: 1) take action, 2) be prepared to fail. We are so hung up on not admitting that we are perfect. It it so much easier to be vulnerable….your buddies will be more interested in you not whining...and will big you up anyway. The startup world is heartening…..there is failure everywhere.. Catch Lucy through Linkedin and the Viewvo website

* We apologize for the unexpected levels of HVAC background noise. Though a nuisance, we hope the content is still valuable. In this Life Matters conversation, Dr. Joe Klemczewski and Dr. Kori Propst discuss what emotional eating is, how to shift from fearing food and emotion to finding freedom, and the steps to begin developing acceptance and awareness. The happiest people on the planet experience the broadest range of emotion. They experience life in full color. They feel deeply. And the uncomfortable become a teacher. From Kori: "Every meal of mine is emotional. If I look back at the meals I've had just this past week, I've eaten during fatigue, I've eaten feeling anxious, I've eaten with a sense of confusion, and I've eaten in a space of joy. "Emotional eating isn't inherently "bad." It's when food takes the place of a skillful response to difficult circumstances that it becomes dysfunctional. "My clients come to me often listing emotional eating as a barrier to their weight loss goals. I see emotional eating more as a barrier to them being fully themselves! "When we choose food to hide, avoid, assuage, or distract from life in some way, we also throw away the potential for understanding, love, and empowerment. "We use food to feel better, but what we really need is to reverse our desire to becoming a better feeler. "When we can touch our emotions without fearing them, respond with greater awareness and kindness, and move away from judgment, what we experience is freedom. "If you are an emotional eater, your first step is to stop blaming yourself. You're not sabotaging yourself-- you're trying to help yourself. Wanting to feel better and not experience discomfort is not something to be ashamed of. We evolved to survive! But we must recognize that what may have been effective at some point in out lives, is no longer serving us. "Food can provide us with comfort, it can evoke memories, and it can transport us to other worlds! It can change how we feel! Let's use food for these purposes! "And let's be discerning about whether we're leaving ourselves behind when we do so." 00:30 Introduction 01:00 Questions to be considered 04:20 The continuum of emotional eating behavior 06:00 Categories 08:30 Believing "wrong" stories 10:00 Pigeonholing different peoples' problems? 13:00 Underlying discontent between expectations & outcome 13:30 Recognizing the "trigger point" 14:40 What measure of influence do we have over this? 15:45 Level of self-awareness 17:30 "What is happening?" - "What's not right?" 18:50 What are my perceptions of the situations? 20:55 The emotion is not you! 25:05 No emotions/feelings are permanent 26:20 When you get derailed... 27:30 What to watch for 28:45 Being "fluid" is important 29:50 Other addictive/destructive behaviors 30:20 Importance of honest with yourself & integrity 32:30 "This is the way I deal with this" 34:45 Happiness is a choice: "I get to do this!" 36:30 Develop your life philosophy 37:35 What characterizes the happiest person I know? 40:35 Worst phrase ever: "Everything happens for a reason" 41:50 Stress management techniques 43:03 Here's what to do 46:45 Identifying signs/symptoms of 4 emotions 49:00 When you feel anxiety... 53:00 Acknowledgement of the feeling 56:45 Important steps to take: ~Scheduled, methodical pairing ~Visualization 1:07:50 Next steps...

Hear Greg’s previous episodes  HERE (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22greg+Buckley%22) . Key Talking Points Are we saying NO too often to great opportunities? Are we giving away a lot of our services? Greg is in the transportation business. Do we need to re-think saying yes to our customer’s needs? We are pigeonholing ourselves in just one area of repair? Enhance the 20% of our customer base that gives us 80% of our volume. He wants to see shop owners go after newer client types and utilize your current infrastructure to create additional revenue opportunities. If you say no enough you’ll be closed. Don’t wait for car count to come to you. We have to learn how to find different clients in a strategic way that we can grow services. We are going to need to become educators in the transportation business, where we are the hub. Safety is a common denominator in everything we do. That opens up additional services we can add.

Click to Download Audio On a weekly basis I receive emails, Facebook messages, and tweets from people all over the world who work in creative fields. Some people send me pages worth of their life stories, others are looking for quick tips to optimize something very specific in their lives, but most often the messages I receive are from people frustrated with where they are in their career who don’t know where to go next. It occurred to me recently that the advice I’m providing to an individual privately might be beneficial to many others struggling with similar obstacles in their own lives. So here goes my first attempt at a new series called ‘Dear Zack.’ If you find this beneficial, please let me know in the comments below or send me a quick message letting me know you’d like to read more of these in the future! Dear Zack, I've been editing pretty consistently for the past year and more, but recently I've been having trouble finding work and I want to make sure that I'm doing everything I can to better my chances. I've reached out to people that I have a good relationship with in the past (directors, producers, line producers, editors, etc.) to let them know that I'm available. I've also reached out to agencies with not much luck except for being hip-pocketed at [two big-name agencies].Of course, I'm staying positive since I believe that I've been turning out good cuts and people have enjoyed working with me. But I just wanted to take the extra steps and see if I can learn from a person of your experience. Is there anything more that you did during a time like this other than have patience? Thanks, Martina   Hi Martina, There is no doubt that patience is a required virtue when working to build a fulfilling career. One of the fundamental mindsets I teach in all of my online programs is that life is game of chess, not a game of checkers. You have to be willing to play the long game and stop looking for the next easy move - just because a quick jump is available doesn’t mean it’s the best strategy to win the game. Don’t confuse patience with complacency, however. Often times people reach a certain point in their careers where they believe they have earned the right to their next job, and all they have to do is wait to be discovered. No matter the level you’re at in your career, every single strategic move should have one singular objective: Putting yourself in the right place at the right time so the right people discover you, and thus you “get lucky.” “Luck” is simply the intersection of hard work and opportunity. I’m not implying in any way whatsoever that you are sitting around waiting to be discovered, clearly you are reaching out to past contacts and you’ve built a relationship with not one but two big-name agencies. This is a great start! But you definitely haven’t reached the point yet where there’s nothing else that can be done except sit and be patient. If you follow my podcast and blog then you may already know I spent years jumping from one random indie project to the next (often unpaid), and I was also unemployed for long stretches before finally landing my dream job editing Burn Notice (something I dive into in great detail in my ‘Ultimate Guide to Making It In Hollywood’). While it’s been a few years since being at this stage of my career, I still remember it like it was yesterday. Furthermore, I have yet to speak to a fellow editor (or most other professions in Hollywood for that matter), where people didn’t struggle jumping to the next level in their careers. For example, it took Kelley Dixon (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Walking Dead) twenty years of working as an assistant to become an “overnight success story.” Take a breath and know this is all part of the journey. The only way to ensure failure is if you give up. Knowing you are at a similar crossroads in your career today that everyone goes through at some point, here are three questions to ask to ensure you are doing everything possible to put yourself in the right place at the right time to be “discovered.” I have also provided concrete action steps so you can start making sh*t happen! 1. Do your résumé and portfolio clearly demonstrate why you are the best fit for the jobs you’re pursuing? Based on your statement, “I’ve been editing pretty consistently for the past year and more,” I’ll assume you are not brand new to the game and have some experience under your belt (most likely you’ve assisted as well?). If you did come up as an assistant editor like most people do, there is a place called “the gray zone” where it can be really tough to transition from assisting to only taking editing work. This is a tough transition, but building a fulfilling career requires pursuing projects that align with your creative passions and your skillset. Sometimes this means making tough financial decisions and (gasp!) turning down what appears to be perfectly good work short term (like assisting) because it no longer aligns with your long term goals. If you simply need a paycheck job to cover your rent and groceries, then survival is priority number one and you don’t have the room to be picky. There’s no shame in making a living. But approaching jobs with this mindset for an extended period of time can unfortunately lead to a less-than-perfect résumé that some might consider a bit “scattershot” (Don’t worry, my résumé was like this for almost a decade). If you’re concerned one of the reasons you aren’t being considered for job opportunities is because your past work experience is less than ideal, let’s get creative with how you present yourself (while staying honest, of course). Action Step: Create multiple versions of your résumé. Because I don’t have a clear sense of your level of experience from your email Martina, for the sake of argument, let’s pretend you have at least five years of industry experience and some of that includes assistant work. Perhaps you have a scattershot portfolio of past projects that includes some comedy work but also commercials, trailers, documentary shorts, indie features, and several years as a tv assistant in multiple genres. If your goal with your résumé is to show how much experience you have as a whole, having one generic list of all your past projects can actually hurt you more than it helps you. At best you have 30-60 seconds to convince someone that you are the right creative fit for the job, so make that decision as easy as possible by organizing your résumé strategically for each potential opportunity. Pigeonholing is the reality in creative industries. While I don’t believe that we should ever be limited to only doing one type of genre work, producers and directors are looking for a slam dunk, so give them the clearest picture possible of why your past experience makes you the right fit for this current opportunity...even if this means dropping a bunch of stuff from your résumé that isn’t the right fit. If you don’t feel you have enough experience to drop anything, then at least have your résumé flow in such a way that the most relevant work is listed first and the least relevant is on the bottom (or the next page). People commonly make the mistake of listing their work history chronologically as if they're applying for a middle management job at Microsoft. This isn’t necessary in creative industries. IN SHORT: Your résumé has one job - demonstrating you are the right creative fit. Make it as simple as possible and craft a unique version for each individual opportunity. BONUS Action Step: Make it braindead easy to navigate your online portfolio. If you also have an online portfolio of sample work, organize it in such a way that people can find the right genre quickly. A home page with every single piece of work you’ve ever done only confuses the person who’s considering you, especially if you’re listing projects you may or may not have edited at all (e.g. you list projects that you assisted on only). Think in terms of building funnels: If someone comes to your site and wants to only watch comedy (or action, or drama, etc), does your site flow in such a way that doing so is obvious and simple? If you haven’t already, I suggest organizing your portfolio site with categories, tabs, tags, or anything else that allows a potential producer or director to curate your content instantly. And if you’re old school and still have a DVD reel, make multiple versions or even custom versions for each job application (I know it sounds crazy, but my custom reel is the main reason I landed Burn Notice). When you reach out for potential jobs, in your email provide direct links to specific examples of your past work - do the hard work for them. While it might not be possible to have five different versions of a website the way you can have five unique versions of your résumé, by providing the right breadcrumbs you make it super simple for them, and you’ll also feel confident they are watching the right work at the right time. Lastly, if you worked on a specific show, don’t just link to the homepage for that show on your website and expect others to dig through and find the right clips. Provide sample scenes directly on your site that demonstrate your best work on that series (and list your specific contribution). If someone sends me a link to watch their work and I end up on a YouTube landing page instead, I’m not going to watch anything because I don’t know where to start or how they were involved. IN SHORT: If your prospective employer can’t find the absolute best clip that represents why you are the best fit for their project within 30 seconds, your site needs to be reorganized. 2. Are you properly leveraging your past relationships? If you are good at what you do, once your foot is in the door and you have a few years under your belt, you will not build your career using your résumé or portfolio: You will build your career with referrals. One of the most frustrating parts about building a creative career in Hollywood is that most jobs are filled before you ever hear about them. You will most likely never know about 95% of the opportunities that might be perfect for you. If a job opening has become public knowledge, that simply means the people looking have already exhausted their contact list. So it’s imperative that you stay relevant on that contact list so you’re part of the “insider” conversations before employers are forced to recruit people on the “outside.” The great thing about building your career with referrals is that rather than always looking for work yourself or having just one agent potentially hunting down work for you, instead you have an entire network of producers, directors, editors, and other colleagues constantly referring you when jobs become available, and you will hear about a lot more than 5% of the opportunities that are a perfect fit for you...without any effort at all! Sounds like a dream, right? The key to building a perpetual sales machine of friends and colleagues looking for work for you is maintaining those relationships even when you aren’t working with them. Sure it helps if you are the best editor they’ve ever worked with and you are #1 on their call list, but short of that, the next best strategy is to be the most recent person on their list. Most job opportunities are filled quickly. If someone comes to me asking if I “know a good assistant,” for example, I don’t have a giant spreadsheet of every single great assistant I’ve ever worked with in my career and their current availability. I don’t take the time to weigh the pros and cons of each to determine who is the most deserving or the most able. The ones I do think of right away and refer to others are often the ones I’ve been in contact with most recently. Action step: Reconnect with people in your existing network...but without asking them to consider you for any upcoming opportunities. You mention in your email, Martina, that you’re already reaching out to past colleagues to “let them know you’re available.” Instead of reconnecting simply to land your next job, instead think of a way you can strengthen your relationship with them by providing value to their lives first. I recommend checking out The Socially Awkward Introvert’s Guide to Networking if you’re looking for creative ways to provide value to colleagues you’ve worked with in the past. For example, rather than sending a mass email to everyone you’ve worked with in the past updating them on your work history and your availability (Side note: Rarely will I consider someone who has Bcc’d me on a chain message), instead email each colleague individually and begin a conversation that shows genuine interest in what they’re working on. End the email with an open-ended but simple question such as, “I read that you are currently directing [XYZ] film. It looks like a challenging project, are you having fun? I hope it’s as much fun as when you and I worked on [ABC] together.” Start up a casual conversation, try to slip in some “in jokes” from past projects, remind them you’re a fun guy or gal. After a couple of exchanges there’s no harm in mentioning you’d love the opportunity to work together again if they’re looking. But providing value to them always comes first - your needs come second. IN SHORT: Do your best to stay in contact with people who can refer work to you, but do so in such a way you never actually have to ask them to consider you. 3. Are you prioritizing the time to build new relationships? You mention in your email Martina that you are reaching out to people you already have a good relationship with, and you are also reaching out to agencies...but are you also working hard to expand your network and meet new people? Whenever I’m actively looking for my next project, I consider unemployment my full-time job, and my number one job duty is expanding my network of contacts. Similar to dating, the catch-22 of meeting new people is that it’s nearly impossible to find the time to network while you’re working, but when you’re unemployed you often reek of desperation because you need work NOW.  Barring having a Delorean parked in your garage so you can start building new relationships two years ago, the next best time to start networking and building them is today. But like connecting with past colleagues, when building new relationships you cannot expect to get anything in return. Your only goal is to provide value to others. Here’s why creating new relationships is so important, especially the higher you climb the ladder: People don’t hire based on experience nearly as much as they hire based on trust and comfort. I am inundated multiple times per week with emails that say the following: “I’m just letting you know that I’m available and I would love to be considered if any opportunities arise.” Here’s the honest truth that few are willing to admit: People will not consider you or refer you for other open projects if they haven’t worked in the trenches with you before. If someone is putting their name on the line, they need to know you can hack it when the bullets are flying, deadlines are tight, and tensions are high. And even more importantly, they need to trust that you have a good attitude under pressure. If I’ve worked with someone in the past and not heard from them in a year, there’s a VERY short list of people I trust enough that I would refer jobs to if they simply sent me the “I’m available for work again” email. But if I have never worked with that person before, the “I’m available” email will have a 0% success rate (even if I like them personally). If a prospective employer is weighing your résumé against someone else who has the same level of experience, they will always choose the person they are more comfortable with. And if they don’t know either candidate, often times the tiebreaker goes to whomever has a stronger referral from within that employer’s network. Therefore, your objective is to meet new people and make them comfortable with you so they trust hiring or referring you for a job in the future. Action step: Strategically build your dream list of contacts...then start reaching out. During several of the long stretches of unemployment earlier in my career, I developed what I now call “The IMDB Game.” After having made the mistake for several years of taking the shotgun approach to networking and job hunting (i.e. sending out hundreds of résumés and demo reels to every single job opening in the industry), I decided it was time to start using a sniper rifle instead (‘Shooter’ pun intended). Here’s how “The IMDB Game” works: Make a list of all of the ‘Dream Projects’ you’d love to work on. At a minimum choose 5-10 of your favorite tv shows, or feature directors & producers, or trailer houses...whatever makes the most sense for the type of work you do. Research all of the relevant people that work on those projects and make a spreadsheet organizing them with the following columns: Name Current project Past (relevant) projects Potential connections? Contact info (email, social media, etc) Find any potential connections you have in common. IMDB Pro has a great feature for this, but if you don’t want to pay the membership fee, with a little elbow grease you can dig through credits of their past projects to see if you have worked with any of the same people. Once you’ve compiled your list, begin reaching out to either your dream connections directly or reaching out to people you’ve both worked with in the past and see if you can get a brief intro. The likelihood of someone responding to you goes up exponentially if you’re referred by someone they trust. Above all else, remember your main objective when reaching out to new contacts is not to land a job: Your sole purpose is to provide value to their lives. IN SHORT: When you’re unemployed, expanding your network should become your full-time job. Rather than taking the shotgun approach, strategically approach the right people who are the best fit for the dream projects you’d like to work on. To Summarize... Unfortunately there is no defined path to success in any creative career, especially filmmaking. But despite the lack of any road to follow, after interviewing many successful people including editing legends such as Walter Murch, Carol Littleton, Kelley Dixon, Jeffrey Ford, and Billy Goldenberg, I’ve distilled what seems like a thousand different ways to “make it” into three very distinct steps anyone can follow, all of which I discuss in detail in my Ultimate Guide to ‘Making It’ In Hollywood: You need a clear picture of the ladder you want to climb You have to do awesome work People have to know you do awesome work It sounds to me Martina like the area you need to focus most of your attention is making sure the right people know that you do awesome work. Rather than “being patient,” here’s a quick summary of the steps you can take to ensure you are making sh*t happen: Customize your résumé to fit each specific job opportunity Organize your portfolio so prospective employers can find the right work quickly Reconnect with past colleagues and connections...but without asking to be considered for a job Strategically expand your professional network with people working on your dream projects I hope this helps you design your own unique roadmap to success, Martina!

Proverbs 22:29 says: "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." Our quote for today is from Scott Belsky. He said: "It's not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen." Today, we are continuing with Part 4 of our section titled, "Developing a Game Plan to Overcome Procrastination".  In order to get momentum, is it always a good idea to "ease in" to a task, doing the simplest and most pleasant part first? Usually it is, but sometimes the exact opposite works. Sometimes it pays to identify the most difficult part and take care of it first. I call this the Worst First approach. That doesn't make sense. You can't have it both ways. If one way works, the other one shouldn't. Actually, there are three ways of reacting when you are confronted with a complex task. One way is to get your foot in the door by doing the easiest part first and building some momentum. The second is to tackle the hardest part first and get the smug feeling that comes from getting something unpleasant out of the way as soon as possible (the old idea of eating your spinach first and your strawberry shortcake second). The third way -- the way of the procrastinator -- is to do neither, just leaving the task in limbo because it is unpleasant and because instead of choosing either of those plans of action you've chosen a plan of avoidance. Suppose you have a group of volunteers, each of whom is supposed to call a list of people for donations to a political campaign. This is the kind of task most people find distasteful. Some in the group will find it easiest to begin by contacting the most likely contributors -- the good friends of the candidate -- first. Then, warmed by the positive reception they are likely to get, they will feel less reluctant about calling those prospects on the list who are more likely to be grumpy, tightfisted, and obnoxious. Others in the group (and many experienced salespeople will choose this approach) will find it preferable to select the grumpiest person on the list and make that call first. When it is completed they can say, "I've got that out of the way; from here on it will be a breeze!" Either system will work; it's a matter of individual style and, of course, the nature of the task. In either case, you have made a commitment and you have adopted a definite game plan. What will not work is the third alternative, which is to postpone the chore until tomorrow in the hope that by some inexplicable miracle it will then become easier. We're building up quite an armory of techniques: so far we have Pigeonholing, the Salami Technique, the Leading Task, and the Five-Minute Plan. Are there others? Yes, indeed. One is the Balance Sheet Method. Select some task you've been putting off. Now take a sheet of paper, and on the left side of the page list the reasons you are procrastinating. On the right side of the page list the benefits of getting the job done. Now compare the two lists. Generally, you'll find the reasons for procrastinating so insipid, and the reasons for action so compelling, that you become disgusted with your indolence and swing into action. But doing it on paper is the secret. Excuses that seem quite adequate when they have not been clearly enunciated are exposed for the frauds they really are when reduced to writing. Of course, sometimes the reasons for postponement may, on examination, be found to be quite valid, in which case you won't need to feel guilty about procrastination. The Balance Sheet Method, in other words, can be an excellent tool in reaching sound decisions about whether or not to take a certain course of action. Benjamin Franklin often prepared a Balance Sheet when faced with a difficult decision. He wrote: "...all the reasons pro and con are not present to the mind at the same time; but sometimes one set present themselves and at other times another, the first being out of sight. To get over this, my way is to divide half a sheet of paper by a line into two columns; writing over the one 'Pro' and over the other 'Con.' Then during three or four days' consideration I put down under the different heads short hints of the different motives that at different times occur to me for and against the measure. When I have thus got them all together in one view I endeavor to estimate their respective weights; and where I find two, one on each side, that seem equal I strike them both out. If I find a reason pro equal to some two reasons con, I strike out the three. If I judge some two reasons con equal to some three reasons pro I strike out the five; and thus proceeding I find at length where the balance lies... and come to a determination accordingly. And, though the weight of reasons cannot be taken with the precision of algebraic quantities, yet when each is thus considered separately and comparatively and the whole lies before me, I think I can judge better and am less liable to make a rash step; and in fact I have found great advantage from this kind of equation in what may be called moral or prudential algebra." The weighing of alternatives is what we will do every time we approach a decision; the only "new" element is doing it on paper. And if Benjamin Franklin, one of the great achievers of all time, found it worth his time to reduce the pros and cons to writing, perhaps we all could benefit from such a practice. There is an alternative to the Balance Sheet Method that works even better for many people. Instead of making a pro and con list, you simply sit down and write out your feelings about the thing you are postponing. Talk to yourself on paper. Since you are writing only for yourself, don't worry about syntax and don't pull any punches. How do you really feel about the task? How do you feel about yourself for postponing it? What constructive steps might you take to get the show on the road? What, exactly, do you intend to do? When? This may be done as an isolated exercise, or it can be one aspect of keeping a journal. Many psychiatrists and psychologists are taking renewed interest in the power of a journal to cause behavior change.

Proverbs 6:6-8 says: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest." Our quote for today is from Thomas Edison. He said: "Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing." Today, we are beginning a new section titled, "Developing a Game Plan to Overcome Procrastination" Part 1.  A positive attitude about overcoming procrastination is fine, but it doesn't solve the problem. Let's get down to the nuts and bolts. Exactly how does a person translate that positive attitude into reality? First, you must stop thinking in generalities, and focus your attention on one specific task. Then the problem is not "How do I stop procrastinating?" but "How do I make myself start painting the house?" You can't get a handle on a generality; a specific problem you can deal with. Having selected the behavior you want to correct, the next step is to analyze the problem and decide what's causing the delay. Such varied causes as fatigue, lack of information, fear of failure, distraction, shyness, conflicting priorities, and so on, obviously will all require different approaches. In most cases, willpower alone won't do the job! People have a tendency, however, not to look for the "why," or not to look deeply enough. In other words, they procrastinate on analyzing the reasons for their procrastination! Unconsciously, they recognize that focusing attention on the cause of a problem is the first step toward solving it, and they quail at the thought that they might be about to take that fateful first step. Why do you say that? If a person sincerely wants to solve a problem, and knows what should be done to solve it, it would be illogical not to take the necessary steps. True, but who said people behave logically? Most don't, which is the reason for books like this one. Somehow we must counteract that streak of masochism that causes us to close our eyes to the real reasons for our procrastination. So try to categorize your problem, and clarify what it is that has been causing you to procrastinate. And remember, no generalities, no lame excuses such as, "I just have a habit of putting things off." Ask such questions as, "Honestly, what's my problem? Indecision? Shyness? Boredom? Inability to tolerate unpleasantness? Lack of needed tools? Ignorance? Disorganization? Fear? Fatigue? Is there any one word or phrase that sums up why I haven't been able to get this particular task under way?" I call this process Pigeonholing, because it is an effort to put your problem into a very specific category, zeroing in on the cause rather than the excuse. When you attach an accurate label to a problem, the solution frequently becomes self-evident. For example, if you establish that indecision is the cause of your problem, you have put your finger on the solution and you are likely to sit down and make some decisions. If you put your problem in the mental pigeonhole marked "Inadequate Information," you'll start looking for the additional data you need. If you recognize that your procrastination is caused by fatigue, fear, poor self-image, environmental problems, poor time management, etc., you may begin addressing those factors individually. The first step is to find the right pigeonhole. Put the real reason for your delay into words. The precise statement of any problem is the most important step in its solution. In the search for causes, however, be careful not to mistake excuses for reasons. Don't let yourself get away with such cop-outs as, "I just haven't been able to find the time," or "There aren't enough hours in the day," or "Things keep coming up." Dig a little deeper. Face up to the real "why," not the rationalization. Be honest with yourself.
