I believe strongly that if you want something badly enough, you have to "put it out there" into the world. Tell your friends, family and complete strangers that you want to achieve a specific goal. Once you PUT IT OUT THERE, there's no going back - you HAVE to work voraciously toward achieving that goal, because it is out there and everyone knows about (and presumably is rooting for you to achieve) your goal.
A great example that proves my point is when I put out on national television that one of my clients was going to have a doll in her likeness. As soon as that episode aired, WHAM, I really had to haul ass to figure out how to make that happen. Similarly, when I decided to help my friend and colleague, Wendy Dickey, edit her book, I put it out there. I told all of my friend and family that Wendy had a scathing tell-all book coming out and for some reason, she chose me to help her edit the modern masterpiece.
Now, CHECK IT OUT! Wendy's book, "Living Vicariously Through My Daughter" is now available on Amazon (insert back pat here ...)!
So with that being said, I hereby announce, "I am going to the Academy Awards!" Seriously, I want one of those KILLER S.W.A.G. Bags that they give to the nominees. HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT'S IN THESE THINGS? When I saw that all the stuff that they cram into these amazing bags of Celebrity-Kiss-Ass, it was enough to light a fire under my procrastinating bootie and decide that it is finally time to create the documentary that has been swimming around in my head for years! So it's right here, right now, that I am putting it out there that over the next six months, I will be filming, editing and preparing my Documentary (Short Subject), for consideration for the 2015 Academy Awards.
Now, you may be thinking, "That luna-chick, Heather Ryan, has gone and lost her damn mind", which is most likely what Wendy Dickey and Fransoly Gonzalez thought when I recruited them to be a Producer and Subject, respectively. But I am here to inform them that I have already purchased the film stock, planned my shoot dates and locations, written my shot schedule and even chosen kindred spirit, Kimberly Jessy, to handle our media relations when we create the most compelling pageant-centric documentary of all time!
So there it is - WE'RE GOING TO THE OSCARS! It's out there, it's real. Now, I just need haul ass and figure out how to make it happen ... Filming starts FRIDAY!
Until next time,
Heather A. Ryan
