In Hollywood every aspiring actor knows the excitment of getting an invitation to a casting call and the tension of waiting for the results. The casting call is one of the many ‘rites of passage’ that actors go through in their often long and complicated journey from zero to Hollywood hero.

But they say that ‘art reflects life’ and I’m wondering if the idea of the casting call isn’t similar to what many people go though in life’s journey. Most successfuly Hollywood actors will tell you that there were many other people along the way who had just as much, if not even more, talent than they.

But they’ll also tell you that they worked hard to position themselves to be ready when their big opportunity, their personal ‘casting call’, came along.

So the question is…..are you ready for your casting call? Have you ever wondered if you’ve missed some golden opportunities in life or business because you lacked personal confidence, communication skills, and personal presence?

If you’re in business you’re surely feeling the pressure of today’s more competitive global market place. No market is safe from competition anymore, no account is safe, no territory is safe. Although it certainly helps, it’s not enough just to work hard any more. You’ve also got to work smart.

And part of working smart nowadays is using the right tools. If you’re in business, the internet is one of the tools you should be using to leverage yourself. And one of the most effective tools on the internet today is video marketing.

Are you using video effectively? Are you using it…..at all?

To be honest, most people do have at least a slight degree of camera shyness. That’s OK. But just think of what could change if you could develop the kind of stage confidence that actors have. Imagine the change in your body language, communication skills, leadership ability, sales power and overall all confidence.

It sounds nice, doesn’t it?

It’s never been truer that a picture is worth a thousand words. People are busy today and it’s difficult to get their attention. But people have always been visual by nature and today if you know how to use video and video marketing effectively, you can say in just a few seconds what somebody else would take several minutes or even hours to say. You can get your unique selling proposition across while your competition is still knocking on the door.
