This weekend I (Phil Svitek) met with a lot of hosts during the AfterBuzz TV annual end of year summit. What I discovered was that many of them had the same fears and doubts which boiled down to this idea that they weren’t where they ultimately wanted to be or that they haven’t yet discovered their true purpose. It hit me that many artists must feel this way. I sure have and at times this feeling creeps back up. So, in this lesson, I’ll provide you with the same advice I shared with the AfterBuzzers I met with over the weekend. I explore how to find your purpose and why it’s not as far off as you might have imagined. It just begins with action. Without action, you’ll never discover your passions and what you’re good at. I highlight a bit of my own journey from wanting to become a film editor to being AfterBuzz TV’s Chief Operating Officer. I also pinpoint where the doubt stems from within ourselves. Utilizing a James Cameron quote, I’ll help dispel the notion of what’s possible and what’s not. Because let’s face it, as artists, we all have lofty ambitions. So stop succumbing to your fears and doubts and create the life you’re meant to have - after you discover what that actually is :) Enjoy the episode and comment below with any thoughts, questions, feedback, etc.

ABOUT THE SERIES:
With over 15 years of experience WORKING in the entertainment industry at the top level, learning from the best of the best, I (Phil Svitek) am now on a journey of paying it forward. I believe that ideas are meant to be shared, not hoarded and furthermore, if you are successful then you owe the next generation a roadmap. As someone who has been there across various roles such as producer, director, editor, writer, podcaster and even high level executive, I know the struggles and what it takes to tackle and overcome the challenges that artists face on the road to accomplishment. As you already may know too well, an artist’s life can be extremely volatile, with many high’s and low’s - it takes more than just industry skills and knowledge to make it. To be successful, you need to have the right mental fortitude to reach your dreams. I believe in a 360 approach - combining technical theory with practice, along with personal development skills that are directly related to what it takes to be successful as a digital artist. Each week, I draw from these experiences, learnings and exploration to offer you insights, concepts and findings with specific takeaways to benefit you. I'll recommend books, podcasts, movies, etc to help further illustrate the ideas highlighted within each episode. For more free resources, visit http://philsvitek.com.
