Back to this being a long-haul game, and think of some of the great producing partners out there, those actors, directors and producers who seem to work together again and again. Hopefully bigger and bigger projects for years to come. Remember when I said self-made millionaires hire coaches?

So finding a way to be confident in your self, as well as your skills as an actor is absolutely paramount. They are smart and educated most of the time. But a good majority of actors out there are college drop-outs, that never even went to college, and a chunk of them never even finished high school.
