“Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it! Boldness has power, magic and genius in it!” – Goathe
About 8 months ago I jumped at the chance to help launch a production company with no money and little resources but one in which I would have a vehicle to be creative and involve myself in projects I could call my own. The harsh reality is that when you are unknown like HFC PICTURES, you don’t get paid until you produce something… and that’s not quite so simple
Being the ambitious lunatic that I am I quit practically everything and threw myself into 15 hour days and am often reminded by concerned loved one’s of the need for balance. I’m 27 years old, I make little income and I live with my mom (who is my strength and for whom I am blessed to have as my biggest believer and support…in more ways then one.) Am I successful? Or am I bulldozing toward a brick wall called failure?
I suppose it depends on your definition of success, but for me, the tough road has challenged me to meet life and myself head-on. My experiences have provided opportunities for growth that I would not have had, had I neglected my intuition.
The bumpy road requires blind faith and is difficult if, like me, you have other dreams such as marriage, family and financial security which knock louder with each passing year. It’s important to believe. To have determination and continue full speed ahead because your gut says so. I applaud anyone who is driven by passion, love, and a fundamental need to be creative. Find courage and realize that many have triumphed having boldly stomped off the beaten path. Here are their stories. May they inspire you to keep going…
