1. The
Hero’s
Journey
in
Hollywood
(Intro)

Life
is
to
be
lived.
If
you
have
to
support
yourself,
you
had
bloody
well
better
find
some
way
that
is
going
to
be
interesting.
Katherine
Hepburn
“There
is
no
such
thing
as
the
perfect
career”
That’s
what
many
people
think,
and
it’s
sad
because
there
are
plenty
of
rewarding,
challenging,
and
fulfilling
career
opportunities
that
allow
creative
people
to
use
their
gifts
and
be
rewarded
handsomely
for
their
efforts.
Those
who
settle
for
less
than
the
best
simply
haven’t
found
the
right
job
–
yet.
You
can
have
it
all
when
it
comes
to
a
creative
career
–
if
you
know
how.
Katharine
Hepburn
knew.
The
fact
is
that
most
people
hate
their
jobs.
They
would
rather
be
doing
something
else
–
anything
else.
It
doesn’t
have
to
be
that
way.
What
if
I
told
you
that
you
would
never
have
to
work
another
day
in
your
life?
Would
you
be
interested?
When
you
find
the
right
fit
in
a
career,
it
no
longer
feels
like
work.
You
wake
up
every
day,
excited
about
how
you
earn
your
living.

2. This
perfect
harmonizing
of
your
talents,
skills,
personality
and
work
style
creates
a
passion
and
a
desire
as
well
as
a
feeling
of
happiness
that
is
worth
more
than
gold.
It
can
all
be
yours
if
you
will
read
this
travel
guide
of
Hollywood
and
applies
its
principles.
Finding
happiness
in
your
creative
career
is
a
lot
like
looking
for
treasure.
Using
a
map,
you
embark
on
a
journey,
an
adventure
in
search
of
yourself.
The
thing
is,
there
is
not
a
pot
of
gold
waiting
for
you
when
you
get
to
the
spot
marked
“X”
on
the
map.
The
buried
treasure
is
within
you.
The
pursuit
of
the
gold
(or
the
goal)
is
the
reward.
Because,
when
it
comes
to
a
career,
there
is
no
“there”
there.
It
is
all
a
search.
Enjoying
the
search
is
what
success
is
all
about.
This
is
the
age
of
opportunity
for
the
creative
heroes
and
heroines.
Innovation,
creativity,
entrepreneurship
are
gold.
Ridicule,
bureaucracy
and
tape
are
being
replaced
with
respect
and
rewards
for
the
clever
and
creative
person.
In
Hollywood
this
trend
has
been
around
for
decades
and

3. is
being
followed
all
over
the
workplace.
The
work
environment
and
market
are
changing,
and
they
are
changing
for
the
better
-­‐
for
you.
Are
you
ready
for
these
times
ahead?
This
Commedia
dell
Arte
travel
guide
of
Hollywood
will
put
you
in
the
position
to
prosper.
What
parents,
teachers
and
bosses
might
see
as
problem
(sloppiness,
habitual
tardiness,
short
attention
span,
nonconformism)
can
actually
be
hidden
assets
in
the
search
for
work
in
a
rewarding
and
interesting
creative
career.
Intuition,
emotion,
divergent
thinking,
daydreaming,
thriving
on
chaos,
big
picture
thinking,
cleverness,
open-­‐mindedness
an
an
ability
to
play
and
have
fun
are
virtues
in
the
right
setting.
Even
so,
it’s
not
exactly
easy
to
built
a
creative
career.
You
have
to
be
able
to
deal
with
lots
of
rejection.
It
is
a
part
of
everyday
life
for
the
creative
person.

There
is
also
that
funny
feeling
that
you
don’t
quite
fit
in
–
and
you
don’t.
Thank
God.
An
unconventional
person
with
unconventional
ideas,
you
are
often
seen
as
immature,
temperamental,
moody,
difficult,
distracted,
irresponsible
and
irrational.
The
truth
is,
you
can
be
your
wonderful
self
and
still
get
ahead
in
the
business
world
–
or
work
for
yourself,
as
many
creative
people
do.
Whichever
you
choose,
this
travel
guide
will
help
you
manage
your
career
using
a
story
(wholebrain)
approach
that
takes
advantage
of
the
way
you
are,
without
forgetting
the
way
the
world
works.
