Keeping yourself prepared is one significant way to make sure that luck is on your side. Success in our business requires 120 percent effort every day, so you must always preparing and working on your craft. Work hard on your dialects, your monologues, your auditioning, and your camera skills so that when opportunity comes, you are ready.
You will never know when opportunity will come knocking and when it does, if you’re not ready, it will fly on by. Opportunity will always award those who are prepared and ready, and by investing time and energy in being prepared, you will keep luck on your side. The deceptive thing about luck is that it is not luck at all, those who are “lucky” are those who spend hours behind the scenes preparing and practicing.
Don’t procrastinate on a project, instead focus on it and follow it through. Don’t allow yourself to make excuses about why you are not working on scripts or audition material. Have the discipline to always be working. And you will see that with the energy you exert on yourself and your career, opportunity will come and luck will reward you.
This is an analogy I have used many times: You have to think of yourself as a professional athlete.
