Life… money… it’s all a game. It’s meant to be played and enjoyed. Learn the rules. Make your own. Pursue your passions.

As an entrepreneur, I LOVE a challenge! It’s the drive to do something cool or different just because you can. And seriously… what else are you gonna do, watch tv all day? No thanks.

I’m not an entrepreneur, I’m an actor, striving to become a professional working actor-I’m trying to get paid to do this. But I read a couple of blogs on this stuff- like jun’s, yukai’s- and blogs on marketing, personal development, social media, etc. because as Alan Nusbaum likes to call it, we must be ‘actor-preneurs.’ Actors must market themselves, have websites, know how to network, use social media and all that. So the lifestyles sort of run parallel.

I’m lucky. I don’t even get called crazy or laughed at, I just get ignored or overlooked.

Person: “what do you do?”
Me: “I’m an aspiring professional actor!”
Person:”Oh…” or “good luck.” or “(silence and a look of shock)”

But it helps me weed out my real friends and support systems from everyone else. I used to lie, but what’s the point, I need real friends and supportive relationships with me on my journey.

This has inspired a post.

We are more into “life building.” We want to change things, we want to make them better in some way. At the end of the day, that’s the point.

In other words, you’re right and well said.

I am a lot like you, every time I talk to someone I try to push them to find something that makes them happy and pursue it. Even though only a tiny fraction of them actually do it (very few people share our level of insanity) I really think that those who do are made better for it.

Cheers and thanks for the comment.
