5 Takeaways from the GYSOTG Seminar
We had another great Get Your Show Off The Ground seminar this past weekend with a dozen more talented participants with a terrific set of projects. I have no doubt you'll be seeing several of 'em on stages very soon.
A bunch of ideas hit the whiteboard during the seminar, but here are five that I thought might add some gas to your project's tank.
- Vanity projects are only vanity projects when they don't work.
- A primary part of a Producer's job is to set deadlines.
- Never work on just one project. Always have another one in case the first stalls, frustrates you, or dies.
- Like it or not, sales is a part of everything we do.
- You're never too young to be a Producer. You're never too old to be a Producer. If you've got a project, you're a Producer.
Thanks again to all the participants for sharing their passion and their projects with the group.

It was GREAT and inspirational. Thanks to you and a great group of interesting people and projects.
Vanity projects are only vanity projects when they don’t work is the best quote I have heard in a long time.
