In today's workshop, we're going to be talking about cultivating a robust attitude so you can thrive in the media business. And specifically, I'm going to review some practical advice on surviving and thriving in what is an incredibly competitive industry.
I think most people that work in the entertainment industry, at one point or another, find themselves thinking, Oh, my God. Why is this so difficult? Why is this so hard? Shouldn't it all be easier? What am I doing wrong? I must be doing something wrong because I've never been so unhappy. I thought this was going to make me happy. I thought when I had the freedom and the time to work as a writer or a screenwriter, as a producer, as a performer, I thought that I would just fall in love. I've wanted to do this my whole life and it's just turning into a miserable experience.
People are surprised by how difficult it is to work in the entertainment industry is because nobody pulls you aside early on and explains some of the more difficult aspects of working in the industry or working as a media creative.
