Getting over the fear of being “on camera” is often the hardest part of becoming an entrepreneurial filmmaker who chooses to step into the spotlight and give a performance on video. Most often this fear is a result of the anticipation of being judged poorly, self doubt and the negative talk going on inside of our own heads.

Here are three proven tips (and a whole lot of motivation) to get over your fear of being on camera and give the very best performances you are capable of!

The REAL Value of Money in Government Stimulus Spending

The REAL Value of Money in Government Stimulus Spending

http://elscottharrell.com/government-stimulus-spending-produces-nothing/

It's a slow day in Anytown, USA and the streets are deserted.

Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.

A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.

The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the motel and pays off her room bill with the hotel Owner.

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, Picks up the $100 bill and leaves.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town now thinks that they are out of debt and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and glee.

And that, my friends, is how a "government stimulus package" works!

The Difference Between Being a Filmmaker and Being a Video Entrepreneur

The Difference Between Being a Filmmaker and Being a Video Entrepreneur 

As we begin to define what a “video entrepreneur” is, and isn’t, we will invariably cross paths with the filmmakers and there may be some confusion how the two professions are the same and how they are also very different.

There is a demonstrated need for video content for which businesses, people and other organizations are willing to pay filmmakers. The question that defines the singular difference between a filmmaker and a vtrep is simply:

Are you willing to step up to fill that need and accept the risks for daring to be great?
