Waiting for someone else to see you and put you on is a recipe for disappointment. You just might end up waiting forever and becoming resentful. Instead of damn near breaking yourself to conform in order for them to see you, why not take matters into your own hands.
Sitting at tables believing that you’re lucky to be there and that your overly humble approach will advance your career, will only have you going unseen like the person sitting behind Tems at the Oscars.
Why not recognize yourself?
Put on your own art show, record your own film concept, director your own photo shoot. Don’t wait to be put on, do it yourself.
