Actor. Writer. Producer. Concierge?
When you first got into this business, you probably didn't think two of the most important things about your career would be stapling headshots and driving all over town to auditions...but it couldn't be more true.
Coming in a close third to these necessary yet quotidian actions is becoming a professional concierge.
Recently, I was listening to iconic producer Jerry Weintraub's interview on NPR In it, he says that his job is "being a concierge" - for the first 30 or 40 minutes of his day, he responds to emails requesting favors. This ability to connect others is one of the key reasons Jerry Weintraub is so successful.
Stephen Meade, an amazing networker and founder of Big Bamboo, recommends finding out what others need and making an effort to help. This not only allows you to get to know someone better, it also connects you to them in a more meaningful way than just talking about yourself and your latest projects. Try "adding value" and let me know how it goes!
Here's to your success!
