How to be Streetwise and Book Smart
Thought for the week …
If you want to succeed in Hollywood, be streetwise and book-smart! There is nothing more important than having a reasonable balance of both. Naivety can cost you and not being educated to the level you need to function well in this industry can cost you as well. Don’t leave your street-smarts at the door of Hollywood, but temper it with real knowledge as well.

I am not talking about college degrees here when I speak of knowledge. Though they are a great start, you must continue to educate yourself about the business of Hollywood. Take part in seminars, workshops, coaching, read everything, surf the net. Even when you think you’ve got it, press on.
