I was forwarded this clip of me yesterday; I am quite confident is from before I was offered the job to become the Executive Director of the San Francisco Film Society. In it, I am clearly frustrated with the state of the film industry, where I felt I (and my contemporaries) were being rewarded for quantity over quality. No wonder I accepted the job when it was offered; I had already decided I could have more impact using my labor in a different way than producing independently.
Clues always abound as to the direction we are going to go.
Are you being rewarded for what you do best? Is your labor being valued as you best think it should? Do you need to change your direction to have more impact? Are you open to such an evolution and yet perhaps have not yet admitted it to yourself? Do you really need to keep doing the same thing you have always done, even when your skills are better than they have ever been before?
