Making A List And Checking It Twice!

It's that time of year when the movie and television industry shuts down for the holidays.  There's still auditions and commercial shoots around town but (for the most part) everyone is preparing to take a well deserved break.

Zach is doing two types of homework:

***His homework for his two-days a week school to wrap up the semester.

***His other homework involves making a list and checking it twice before meeting with his manager.

That's right...It's time for his year-end review.

If this sounds like your job then you're on the right track.  Zach has to come up with a list of 10 goals he wants to reach in the next year.  He also has to review his goals from last year with his agent and determine whether he succeeded or failed in reaching those goals.

It's not often a 15-year-old gets to enjoy the same "work fun" as the adults in his life.

Looking at his goals from last year, he reached 7 out of the 10 goals.  The all important "sign an endorsement deal and get my dad a lifetime supply of Diet Coke" was not reached...But there's always next year!

The list needs to include more than "book a movie" or "land a series".  It needs to include steps we can take to improve his acting skills, increase his visibility and grow his career.

I have to admit...I have not missed doing this yearly task with any and all former supervisors!

It's time for me to stop typing.  The review is tonight and it's time to finish his prep work for the meeting.
