I can remember certain childhood games that I used to play such as hide and seek and even running races with my friends. They all started off with READY, SET, GO! Life was so simple back then. Fast forward to present day and things become a little more cloudy. He I am ready and set to kick off my career as a entertainment professional. The day that I have dreamed about for ages.
Get READY - So, I've sold myself and ideas to a successful entertainment practitioner willing to invest and MERGE his business interest into my own.
Get SET - I've gathered the human assets needed and I have the business plans and other concerns in place.
GO!!! - NOW WHAT?
Is it fear of the unknown that has me frozen in place? Or, am I so overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what I am attempting that my though process has come to a stand still. Or, maybe I am just overloading myself with too much information.
