How putting my mental health first made me successful.

Happy Monday!

As I glance out of my office window this morning, I reflect on how far I’ve come and where I am today.

Sure — I’m not completely where I want to be in life right now. I want 7+ offices around the world. I want a team of 100+ employees. I want to be on Forbes Magazine. These are big goals and in due time… I will accomplish them at my pace.

As a person, I learned to be thankful for what I’ve already accomplished… and the biggest victory ever was mastering my mental health.

In an industry where rejection is prominent and life is uncertain, it took years to understand my most valuable lesson…. your mental health is your #1 asset in life. Positive thinking, approaching things optimistically, eating healthy and exercising — I began to notice the correlation to success was as simple as telling myself “You got this” every morning.

Before becoming in tune with my mental health, anything that seemed impossible — I resisted. "My business will never develop. I can’t contend with CAA and ICM. An office is too expensive, why make the jump to do something so big? Am I capable of being a great manager?”

The time wasted in thinking these things held me back from reaching my full potential… and as I made the jump into the river, I started to swim in tune with the other Hollywood Agents & Managers in this town. I’m now living my dream under a business in my name, that I created 10 years ago. Who knew?… I knew because I told myself “YOU GOT THIS.”

So if you’re getting ready at home right now wondering how will it happen.. understand that you are in control of your destiny, and that no person, job, or outcome can stop the success that has been set for you. Allow today to be the day you stop worrying, accomplish your goals, and remember — YOU GOT THIS.

I had the pleasure of participating in an interview about Mental Health in Hollywood. Feel free to take a listen and motivate yourself to be the best version of you possible.
