Just because you put in the work doesn’t mean you’re going to get the result you want.
You will simply get what results from the work.
The entertainment business (and making money in it) isn’t built on fairness. It’s built on talent, hard work, connection and luck.
And it’s that last category that gets really frustrating…and it doesn’t care about the others. Luck doesn’t care about justice or feelings or will power. Sometimes talent, working hard and connection seem to cause luck, or entice it but luck is unreliable at best. At worst, it keeps acting like it’s going to show up but never does. That’s painful.
So there’s the result you want from the work, and what results from the work.
I hope one way or the other they can be the same thing.
Best of luck.
