Want to know how to succeed in Hollywood, or anywhere else in the entertainment business?
You are not the only one.
The truth is, many aspiring filmmakers have self-sabotaging patterns and get in their
own way of success.
And they get in the way of the success of others', sometimes causing projects to crash
and burn.
This is not at all unique just to those in the filmmaking community.
This is something everyone has been either guilty of at one point or another in their
own lives, or have witnessed it first hand.
The thing is, most people get caught up in the wrong details.
They don't follow through.
They don't return calls.
They cause rifts within the organization to divert attention from what they're supposed
to be doing.
And the ever popular, do the exact opposite of what is needed to close a deal, to get
the first check.
And all the while, telling those involved everything is moving forward as planned and
all along the project has been left hanging in mid-air and no one had the decency to tell
you.
Sound familiar?
I'm going to tell you how our brain has hard-wired an avoidance of pain mechanism
built into it by creating pleasure.
Creating pleasure?
It happens when we're looking into an unfamiliar set of life events that can be very positive.
If we are in a positive situation, in work, or with a new person, a time comes when we
may begin second guessing things.
When that happens, our brains just stop, forward momentum just stops.
As members of The New Hollywood Generation, as part of following your Hollywood dream,
I want to challenge you to identify if you self-sabotage your own life.
I want you to think about those close to you and identify if there is someone in your life
that may be doing the same to themselves or make an effort to bring others down with them.
All of this coming up.
Welcome to 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!'
My name is Orlando Delbert.
I wanted to speak a little bit about Filmmaking Essentials: Identifying Self-Sabotaging Behavior,
Taking Control of How We Associate Ourselves With Success, and The New Hollywood Generation.
I should mention before we get into it, I first wrote about some of what we're about
to touch upon, success in filmmaking, in life, and how it applies as part of the New Hollywood
Generation when I was writing, Pollyanna's Tear Soaked Battlefields of Hollywood: A Survival
Guide Against the Cynicism and the Hypocritical.

Ready?
Over my working in and around the entertainment industry for decades, I'd hear over and
over again, "You know, I work really hard and get to see a break, but I seem to really
mess things up, every time.
I push and push and when I see a glimmer of light in front of me and BOOM!
I screwed up, yet once again.
I miss a meeting, or I show up only to say the wrong thing.
I lose track of important closing details or I just don't follow through.
I don't understand why I keep doing this?"
Does this sound familiar?
Does this sound like something you've said or have thought about?
Let me ask you, does this sound like self-sabotaging behavior?
If you're self-sabotaging yourself, deep down inside you're expecting that if you
follow through you're going to bring on some more pain in your life.
And for some, succeeding is going to create pain.
I can't tell you how many projects I've been part of where there's one person who
is so afraid of success, that the possibility of causing themselves pain they sabotage the
whole thing.
Not too mention the hundreds of my own productions I've started with my own money and countless
hours of my own time I brought in someone I've known for years, many of whom I've
already worked with before on client's projects.
When the situation reaches a make-or-break point that person needs to do one thing, they
don't.
They don't follow through.
They don't return calls.
They cause rifts within the organization to divert attention from what they're supposed
to be doing.
They disappear.
Poof!
Gone!
Where did he go?
And the ever popular, do the exact opposite of what is needed to close a deal, see the
first check.
And all the while, telling those involved everything is moving forward as planned and
all along the project has been left hanging in mid-air and no one had the decency to tell
you.
What's interesting about this whole line of thought is that far too many people don't
like seeing you succeed either.
When something goes right, good-time friends show up to see what they can get from you,
and when things go poorly, even more people want to be sympathetic and join in your misery.
You know, one of the television networks I worked at, one of my friends won his first
Emmy® Award as a producer.
A mutual friend and I who both already had several Emmy Awards congratulated him.
He told us, we were the only two people out of the hundreds that worked there that did.
And he's been there for over ten years, and up to that point, he was well liked…
I think of this because when people want to keep you down instead of lifting you up, one
can develop a mindset, even if it's on a subconscious level, that if I do well, I'll
be attacked.
I'll be hurt.
You know what, you and I have to take control.
We have to not give others the power to tear us down.
And we have to change how we associate ourselves with success.
I've seen in the Hollywood trenches so many people that automatically associate bad decisions
as self-sabotaging behavior.
I saw it when I was a studio musician in New York.
I saw it when I worked with theater productions in different cities.
It's part of being human that we make mistakes, and that's ok.
We sometimes make bad decisions and that's ok.
The thing is deciphering the difference between what is a bad choice that didn't turn out
the way you would have liked, and self-destructive behavioral patterns that keep you from a better
quality of life.
What's something to be mindful is that the patterns of behavior we all have are done
with a positive intent.
I want you let that sink in for a moment.
The patterns of behavior you and I all have are done with a positive intent.
Our brain has hard-wired an avoidance of pain mechanism by creating pleasure.
It's more easily seen with those who do drugs, those who smoke, those who drink, anyone
who has a vice that may have started as a way to relieve stress or to feel good at the
moment.
One doesn't begin doing drugs thinking about addiction.
One doesn't begin smoking thinking about getting cancer.
It also happens when we're looking into an unfamiliar set of life events that can
be very positive.
If we are in a positive situation, in work, or with a new person, a time comes when we
may begin second guessing things.
When that happens, our brains just stop, forward momentum just stops.
And what's worse is that for those who may be having a hard time figuring out what the
right thing to do with this new set of circumstances, there's always someone around the corner
that will help add to the crazy.
They'll instigate negative lines of thought into your head, and just pile on more pressure
that you sure don't need.
Some of those people link pain to everything in their own lives, and then have to pass
it along and bring others down with them.
Does my speaking about identifying self-sabotaging behavior and taking control of how we associate
ourselves with success, make sense?
If it does, write hash tag New Hollywood Generation ( #NHG ) in the comments below.
That's #NewHollywoodGeneration.
Here's my challenge to you: I mention all of this because if you want to head West to
Los Angeles to follow your Hollywood dream, want to be on stage for the first time at
your local bar, or want to do anything that's unfamiliar that may lead to success and happiness,
it is important to identify if you self-sabotage your own life.
I really want you to give that some thought.
And while you're at it, think about those close to you and identify if there is someone
in your life that may be doing the same to themselves or make an effort to bring others
down with them.
I want you to make a list of where you would like to see yourself in a year, five years,
ten years, and create a timeline from today on.
I want you to start making short-term goals that will help you get to where you want to
be in a year and so on.
I even want you to think about obstacles you have had in the past or in your way now, and
see if there are any patterns.
See if you can identify reoccurring behavior or just actions that just didn't work out.
The entertainment business is a hard place to be in.
There are many charlatans and sharks in suits waiting for the naïve and uninitiated with
the two-sidedness of this whole ethos.
They know there is a never-ending sea of young talent bussed in every single day they'll
have their eyes on.
They are the predators awaiting the meek.
And as members of The New Hollywood Generation, it is important for us all to be supportive
of one another, to help guide others away from predatory behavior, as well as to be
a positive voice to those who need it, to help empower one another, to empower an industry,
the film industry.
And more importantly, this exercise is a fundamental part to succeed Hollywood, the indie film
industry, and a fundamental filmmaking essential you won't learn in any film school.
This is a life lesson.
