Seneca No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don’t have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have. SenecaExternal things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them which you can erase right now. Marcus Aurelius The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own. Epictetus Self-disruption is akin to undergoing major surgery, but you are the one holding the scalpel. Jay Samit You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. Epictetus You become what you think about most often. Brian TracyThe soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Marcus AureliusYou have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. Brooks Atkinson The knowledge is there within us. We have only to think about the advice we have for others and then have the humility to see if we’re following it ourselves. Jinny DitzlerI never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast. Meat Loaf When you find your why, you find a way to make it happen. Eric Thomas One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. Tony RobbinsThe people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them. George Bernard Shaw The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it. Peter Drucker Anything can be achieved in small, deliberate steps. But there are times you need the courage to take a great leap; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps. David Lloyd GeorgeThe future belongs to those who prepare for it. Jim Moran To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.

In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source. Jim RohnIt is not enough to possess virtue as if it was an art; It should be practised. Marcus Tullius Cicero Praise and appreciation for the good news make all the difference. We feel stronger and more naturally motivated and there’s less of that needy part of us, always trying to prove ourselves and hoping someone will notice. Jinny DitzlerAwareness brings its own reward. Shifting your attention to what you have accomplished in the past year awakens your “can do! Attitude” and gets you back in touch with your ability to make things happen. Jinny DitzlerPivoting is not the end of the disruption process, but the beginning of the next leg of your journey. Jay Sammit If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. Jim Rohn Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you satisfied with where you are and the direction you are going? If not, take control of your life and change whatever needs to be changed. You and only you have the power to do this. You can change your world!

Friedrich Nietzsche The spinning wheels, rotating egg timers and moving progress bars we regularly see on our screens when using our electronic devices are often misleading. Rather than offering an accurate representation of work being done, they are more often than not simply there to give the impression that something is happening behind the scenes. They provide us with a sense that we are not waiting in vain for something to happen. William Park If you have to work to give your customers what they want, don’t hide it – flaunt it!

It is an aggressive realm - the realm of the ego. I say refuse citizenship. In the land of "I don’t know," the inhabitants move without conflict and are naturally quiet, happy and peaceful. The wise stay here. Mooji Success is a process for all of us, and as long as you are making consistent progress towards your goals - sincerely giving your best effort more often than not - then you are already successful and deserve to feel proud of yourself. Hal Elrod There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance. John C. Maxwell The truest characters of IGNORANCE are VANITY and PRIDE and ARROGANCE. Samuel Butler Pride is concerned with who is right. Humility is concerned with what is right. Ezra Taft Benson Arrogance really comes from insecurity, and in the end, our feeling that we are BIGGER than others is really the flip side of our feeling that we are SMALLER than others. Desmond Tutu Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere. Paulo Coelho You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. Dale Carnegie Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

Maya AngelouMost of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.

That’s scams that are aimed, not at the general public, but specifically at those working in the creative industries. QUOTES:Who can I trust? You have to invest in somebody and chances are you're probably going to invest in somebody who's going to deceive you. I've been conned a couple of times, but now I'm a little more savvy. Maggie GyllenhaalBetter to be occasionally cheated than perpetually suspicious. B.C. Forbes Cats have a scam going - you buy the food, they eat the food, they go away; that's the deal. Eddie Izzard You can find out more about the show on these links. OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact INTERVIEWEE: DARREN S COOKhttps://www.facebook.com/ScruffyBearPictures/https://twitter.com/scruffybearpicthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenscook/http://www.scruffybear.com/ SPONSOR: Juvenile Delinquents / Big Bull ProductionWebsite: https://jds.space/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jdsthemovie/ References: https://actinginlondon.co.uk/common-showbiz-scams/https://www.facebook.com/groups/distribber/abouthttps://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/fa/fraud/personal-fraud/prevent-personal-fraud/https://deadline.com/2018/02/hollywood-scam-catfishing-dream-job-movie-offers-victims-1202297636/https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/screenwriting101-what-plagiarism-is-what-it-isnt-and-how-to-protect-yourself-from-it/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-smrHLzr6ghttps://www.moviemaker.com/avoiding-the-scam-in-hollywood/ Thanks: Music by A HimitsuTrack: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music released by Argofox https://www.youtu.be/8BXNwnxaVQEMusic provided by Audio Library https://www.youtu.be/MkNeIUgNPQ8Contact the artist: x.jonaz@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/ahimitsuhttps://www.twitter.com/ahimitsu1https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgFwu-j5-xNJml2FtTrrB3A

This episode is about creative scams. That’s scams that are aimed, not at the general public, but specifically at those working in the creative industries. QUOTES:It was the heart of any scam or fiddle -- keep the punter uncertain, or, if he is certain, make him certain of the wrong thing. Terry PratchettWe can all be conned but at what point do we realize that we're being conned and to what point do we allow ourselves to be conned? Guy Ritchie There is no doubt that the Internet brims with spamming, scamming and identity fraud. Having someone wipe out your hard drive or bank account has never been easier, and the tools for committing electronic mischief on your enemies are cheap and widely accessible. Evgeny MorozovWho is going to believe a con artist? Everyone, if she is good. Andy GriffithA lot of hackers set up scam sites. They can impersonate a site like PayPal, for instance. Michael Demon CalceHollywood is largely about scammers and con men. It was my main livelihood for about 25 years, and the scams were beautiful and ugly, cheap and expensive, but, wow, were there a lot of scammers.
