Re: Getting the gig. Where did it all start?
Gentlemen:
Are we talking about technicians or production companies? Some of my immediate thoughts
1). Don't do this unless you love it and just can't do anything else
2). Don't rule out anything. If your path in the production world takes a weird (or not planned) turn, go with it.
3). Always be on the look out for a production need not beeing fulfilled and fill it.
4). Treat everyone you meet with respect - both when they can hear you and when they can't. Former clients can show up in the oddest place.
5). Educate yourself in small business practices, accounting, proposal writing, etc. whether you are a contactor or a business.
6). Remember everyone is a referral.
Enjoy the most amazing journey of your life.
