"But if you have stuff that's the self starting stuff on the side, when you are in those periods of no work from the outside, you're not bummed about it. So your energy doesn't go down.

How To Organize Your Creativity
"I'm talking about theories and mindsets, and that's awesome, but what about tactical? How do you translate that to stuff that's in the real world that we all have to do? When you have a baby screaming on your arms on a Saturday and you have to do an audition tape. When you have a song in your head, but you're doing your day job and you can't write the song down and you can't riff and then it's gone by the time you go to sit down with it. Where's the advice for that?"Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members.

Celebrate Your Wins!
"It's better to share the good than to not celebrate the win because I don't want to make it seem like this is really great; It really is great. It's kind of nice. That's the reward of all the shit you put up with to get to that."Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how our ego can get in the way of us celebrating ourselves. We must fall in love with the process instead of the results. The more we fall in love the process the better the results get. It's OK to celebrate that you've shown up and put your art, yourself, your passions, etc out there. You've got this!10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.SHOW LINKS:10,000 NOs: THE BOOKSUBSCRIBE TO OUR (WEEKLY) NEWSLETTERFOLLOW MATT ON SOCIALFIND OUT HOW YOU CAN JOIN THE WORKING ACTORS COMMUNITY

How Perspective Changes Your Life
"It's kind of like being an actor. That's what we do. You can play someone who is considered a monster, but you are not looking at them with the same lens that you might in a normal life. If you have to play them then you have to look at them from a detached viewpoint so that you can get inside their perspective and defend it. And the only way to do that is if you don't judge it, but you just try to observe it and understand it, and then place yourself within it." Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how important perspective is when you are dealing with resistance in life. When problems arise, you can ask yourself what is this here to teach me in this moment? You are no longer becoming a victim to a circumstance and instead approaching it with a growth mindset. This simple change of perspective can unlock the doors you need in order to grow and achieve your goals. 10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.SHOW LINKS:10,000 NOs: THE BOOKSUBSCRIBE TO OUR (WEEKLY) NEWSLETTERFOLLOW MATT ON SOCIALFIND OUT HOW YOU CAN JOIN THE WORKING ACTORS COMMUNITY

How To Be A Professional Creative
"How to we go from just being someone who occasionally feels things and sporadically creates them to someone who can do this on a professional level? Where there's both a consistency and still a spontaneity and an authentic desire to express yourself."Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss creativity and how to create a system that allows us to be an artist professionally. Matt references Rick Rubin and his view on art in the world and the marketplace. He talks about how our art is a reflection of who we are in the world in that moment. No one's art is better than someone else's. If you don't create it, then no one will. This thought process and view on art allows us to stop comparing ourselves to others. It can be the key to unlocking new ideas and allows us to not shut down when we feel inferior to other people's art. You never know how someone will view your art. It may be the next "great" thing. 10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.SHOW LINKS:10,000 NOs: THE BOOKSUBSCRIBE TO OUR (WEEKLY) NEWSLETTERFOLLOW MATT ON SOCIALFIND OUT HOW YOU CAN JOIN THE WORKING ACTORS COMMUNITY
