The Secret To Longevity

I was chatting online
with an actress yesterday
about Halle Berry
and the secrets to longevity
in Hollywood.

The #1 secret
is taking control.

Halle Berry is now producing
and directing.
She can create great roles
for older actresses
and for herself.

I found that true
in business.
Toward the end
of my corporate career,
I would pitch projects
to executive teams,
projects I would then lead.

I find that true
in writing.
If a publisher isn’t interested
in a story or series,
I publish it myself.

If we’re creating the jobs,
we’ll always have a job.

Want longevity?
Take control.
Lead.
