A Goal by Any Other Name... |
“A goal is a dream with a deadline.” - Unknown
In a recent conversation with a casting director friend of mine,
the topic of goal setting came up. My friend asked me, “So Dan.
What are your acting goals for the rest of this year?” Now I am
the first to admit that I am not a goal setter or a planner by
nature. I believe that if I am kind to people, if I try to do
the right thing, if I give what I can when I can, that the
universal law of “what goes around comes around” will go into
effect and things will “work out.”
Having said that, and with a half-century of life under my belt,
I also freely admit that I have learned the importance and the
power of setting concrete, attainable, time-focused goals. This
approach has always paid off in my business career, in athletic
endeavors, and in financial planning matters. Now that I am
applying goal setting to the acting part of my life I am finding
some interesting challenges, a few frustrating moments, and a
whole new dimension of what setting goals really means in the
acting business.

- Send targeted, personalized postcard
mailings in about 10 minutes

"All my friends said, wow, you must have spent a fortune"
"ActorWebs.com's
Website Tonight® is a great program, great professional templates,
publishes very quickly and easily, lots of options for the site as far as
colors, fonts, forms, images, etc. Overall I'm very pleased with the way
my site turned out; all of my friends said, wow, you must have spent a
fortune for a web designer to do this! He he :)"

Jeannine Moore
Actress
"My website helps me put my best foot forward."
"To sum up what ActorWebs has done for me, the word
focus comes first to mind. They put the pieces of my career, my life's
work together, so that it's a clear record of what I have done and can
do. It's given me a good sense of being a professional actor with the
ability to be able to present my accomplishments to agents, casting
directors, and people in the industry - it's all there for them to view
on my website. The website package covered all areas of owning my own
site with no loose ends - at a very reasonable cost! I'm so happy that I took the
plunge and decided to let ActorWebs organize all that I've accomplished
in my career." |
