Never Leave Home Without This One Item

I have found that no matter where you go, after leaving your home, everyone is a
potential contact for you in the acting and modeling industry.

You could be standing in line at the supermarket, waiting for a table at a restaurant, or even
attending a sporting event, and the person next to you could be involved in or connected somehow
to the acting/modeling industry.

I was recently interviewed at a local Fox TV affiliate. After the interview was over,
I was asked by the sound engineer for my business card. The woman who answered
the phones at the station also asked me for my card. I was so embarrassed because I had given out
my last card a few days ago, and I had forgot to place additional cards in my wallet. I wound
up giving them a head shot and a composite sheet — but it was not good.

We should all carry around business cards that has our photo, contact information as well as
a listing of some of our experiences. My business card has information on both sides.

One side contains details of my book, How to Become a Successful Commercial Model, as
well as workshop details. The other side of the card contains my head shot and acting
information.

Sometimes we make our best industry connections in the most unusual places. That is why it is so
important to always be ready and prepared.
