Founder Tip from @joannabowzer: there is a direct correlation between the actions you take and the results you achieve. Taking small action will only guarantee your success in one area: staying small. Consistent, massive action, however, can only yield consistent, massive results. The actions of the every day do not yield the results of the extraordinary. --- Your actions are based on your habits. Are you in the habit of taking small, ordinary actions? Where can you make changes to your habits so you're taking extraordinary action? #filmmakers #independentfilm #filmproduction #moviemaking #careeradvice #filmlaunch

Not every meeting will land you a contract. Not every pitch will get a green light. Not everyone you meet will end up being a raving fan. In this business, you’ll encounter a lot of people (at all stages of your career) who may have… *difficult* personalities. How you choose to respond -- both in the moment and as you reflect afterwards -- is entirely up to you. How will you respond the next time things don’t go your way? #mindset #inspiration #independentfilm #filmmakers #screenwriting #actinglife #lifehacks #filmmakers

It’s also called Your Brand, which means you have complete control over how people perceive you. (Which, in turn, affects what they say about you!)
The first step to understanding your brand is knowing how you WANT to be perceived. How would you want your friend to introduce you to a power player in the industry at a cocktail party? Try it out in the comments using this formula!

Friendly reminder: we are always learning. We are always growing. And growth often looks uncomfortable and not-pretty at first. Some people have more natural aptitude than others, but no one is as good as they'll ever be when they start out. Give yourself the room to be NEW at something so that you can ultimately get GOOD at it. #creativeprocess #loveyourwork #filmlife #filmmakers #filmlaunch #independentfilm #screenwriting #moviemaking #filmmakinglife

FOUNDER TIP from @joannabowzer: Regularly practice self-awareness without judgement. Marketing is all about learning how other people perceive you and playing directly to that. And I don’t know about you, but if I knew I could make money off of how people think about me (spoiler alert: I do) I’d become an expert in how people think about me (spoiler alert: I am). 🤯💰 ---- Every content entrepreneur has a unique creative voice, or brand. Have you identified yours? What are some words or phrases you'd use to describe your unique storytelling voice? Let us know in the comments! #indiefilmmaking #independentfilm #filmlaunch #filmmarketing #contentcreation
