    How to Cultivate a Robust Attitude so You Can Thrive as a Media Media Maker

    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.

    What Kind of Creator Are You? And Why Does That Matter So Much Here in Hollywood?

    As creatives, we invest time, effort, ideas, intellectual property, and our reputation in the projects we do. A project that goes well becomes a stepping stone to other great projects. Failed projects, or projects we fail on, are thus damaging from many perspectives. Our work is more or less collaborative, based on our desire or willingness to collaborate. Working with the "right" collaborators lets us do our best work. The wrong collaborators disable, distract, and disaffect us. They take us out of the zone in which we are most effective. In order to find the right collaborators, we need to understand what kind of creatives we are, what we do best, what we need to do our best work, and where our weaknesses are. We also need to understand how to work with (and sometimes side-step) those collaborators with whom we are not perfectly matched.Learn what kind of creator your and why that matters so much to your work as a producer, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, or author making media for money.

    How to Be a Financially Successful Creative: Practical Advice & Problem Solving

    Writers, actors, filmmakers, artists, designers, and other creatives are taught young that choosing to be a creative professional is risky business. It doesn't have to be.  In this workshop you'll learn:  Why earning a living as a creative looks like luck or magic from the outside. Why it is not the tight-rope walk you've been told it is since you were born. How to understand exactly what you need to do to build a creative business so you can swiftly do it. How to find fans and turn them into paying customers.Why taking big risks, and making big investments usually doesn't pay off, but running lots of inexpensive experiments almost always does. How having money to invest into your creative business can be a blessing or a curse. How to figure out what you might have been doing wrong. How to determine what "works" and what doesn't when it comes to the products and services you sell. Practical examples of how most creatives go off the rails in trying to create a sustainable way to get paid for their work. This is a very practical, brass-tacks, rational workshop that helps you understand, intuitively, what you need to so so you can do it. Furthermore, you'll understand why what you've been doing previously hasn't been working wonderfully well even though you've got a lot of skill, talent, and commitment.  If you have any questions about this workshop, please email me at nancy@nancyfultonmeetups.com.
