My goal is to gain enough fans to put out a pin up calender.

I feel that in order to build up enough 'good Karma' to help push this goal through, that for the next two weeks (14 days), whenever you see anyone on the street that looks even mildly depressed, you have to ask them......"Excuse me sir/madam.......may I give you a hug?"

And if they accept, you must give them a hug..........no cheesy hugs either! And absolutely no picking out only the attractive people. And if they want to talk to you afterwords, you must talk to each person for at least 5 full minutes. That should help put you in better touch with your future fanbase.

Are you willing to do this to help make your next goal a reality?

Good for you! I hope that your calendar will be out very soon. If you visit Miami, just let me know, and I will be happy to shoot some content for you, pro bono.

I will be in France next year. I'm hoping to find enough paid gigs across Europe to be able to cover travel expenses from country to country.

Thoughts, please?

In order to help make this goal a reality, I think you have to do something to help you come out of your shell.

So in order to push this along, I think that for the next week (7 days), you should accept every single social invitation that is made to you. So if you are asked to go to a party........you're going........out to dinner.......you're going. Even things you would normally never do......rock climbing?.....you're going.......scuba diving?.....you're going. 

Furthermore (you are not getting off that easy)........if less then 4 invitations are made, then it is up to you to make the invitations yourself. Invite people to accompany you shopping, to the gym, hiking..........whatever you like to do, you must invite people to accompany you, and they can not be people that you normally include in your 'safe inner circle'. You have to reach outside that circle for these invitations.

If you do that, you'll be ready to go to France with the right attitude.

I just wish I had time to model more. I feel like my potential hasn't been given a decent chance to prove myself. It's difficult to find time to go to castings when your living from pay check to pay check..Things could be much worse though! My goal eventually, is to rebuild my portfolio. Not just with test shoots that include using cheap clothes from my closet! lol.

Oh no.....now you're really asking for it. Everyone should know that I'm a big believer in 'no excuses'. Therefore, in order to help you appreciate those 'cheap clothes'.........For a period of 48 hours you must not wear any traditional article of clothing that you own whatsoever (excluding shoes).

Meaning if you go out, you have to get creative with scarfs and garbage bags, newspapers...........or just go in the buff.

Should you succeed with this challenge, you should come out of it with a little bit more of a 'can do' mindset.

I'm ready! I don't really shoot very much glamour these days, but for you I will make an exception.

Ok here it goes..

My next goal is to get a teer sheet.

In order to get a tear sheet, you have to be a man that goes out and makes things happen. You can't be afraid to take risks.

So in order to build up your courage, every day for the next 3 days you have to ask for the phone number of the most attractive girl you happen to run into. 3 days, 3 girls, and it can't be anyone you know. Now here is the hard part........this girl cannot be alone, she has to be sitting or standing with at least one girl friend.

It doesn't matter what they say, you just have to show that you are willing to take chances! If you can do that, then you probably have the courage to make your tear sheet goal happen.

Hehe.
I don't think I have a problem doing this. I used to be shy before and if you asked me this 2 years I would be like "No no no", but not really anymore. I mean, whats the worst that can happen? "No, thanks I am taken/not interested"? I can take that. Plenty of people out there. Problem is I am in pre-exam time and this is no time for going out.
Awesome!

i'm about to go into some agencies next month..**crosses fingers**

I think the hardest part about going in for agency open calls, is being prepared to accept the criticism and rejection that you might face.

So to prepare yourself to handle some criticism, for the next 10 days I want you to dress as provocatively as you can, even when such attire is not at all appropriate. Furthermore I want you to do your best 'valley girl' impersonation........meaning act quite snobby and basically annoying. If anyone makes any unfriendly remarks or decides to criticize you, you will absolutely not answer back except to say........."Thank you so much. You are so right about that.", with a big smile on your face. You will not turn your back and leave until they are finished criticizing you. If you stop smiling, even for a moment, you fail.

If you can handle that, then maybe you can take the nightmare scenario of an agent looking you up and down and verbally listing your physical flaws.
