17. How to Get an Agent, How to Nail the Callback and How to Keep Going

Oh to have the energy I had when I was 25.You’ll never again have the strength you have in your twenties. Trust me. I know. Your job now is not to achieve work/life balance. Forget all of your expectations of others. You’re owed nothing. Your job is to work harder than everyone else. Quit taking breaks. Stop talking about how you’re exhausted. Apart from real mental illness you have no excuses. Put your nose to the grindstone then get a glass of water and go to bed early. Every day, every day, every day.Ted Turner said via that great documentary about Arnold “Early to bed, early to rise, work real hard and advertise.” This is all the advice you need. And by you I mean me. And I know I’ve said this before but it bares repeating. Mostly because I forget stuff but also because people don’t read/listen to each and every expert missive I put out into the world. It shocks me too that some would pass over even one of these pearls.If you like the Bold Acting Podcast talk it up at your next dinner or book club. Word-of-Mouth is the best form of advertising.
