About this ebook
Ever get tired of having the same conversation repeatedly, just talking or thinking about what needs to be done instead of getting motivated to act? This book is for anyone who needs a heaping dose of momentum and focus, and who better to dish out such advice than Pierre Bennu, an award-winning filmmaker and artist who’s had such conversations countless times.
This page-turner is the perfect companion for those times you need a little motivation, whether you’re on a bus ride or a train trip, or standing in line for four hours to audition for the second feline from the right in CATS. It tells you how to get started and shows you how to make and attain goals—and it contains some of the best advice ever on making contacts and selling yourself or your creation. Teachers, singers, writers, astrologers, actors, painters, and anyone longing to create will benefit from the conversational advice in this little book. The author and title make no bones: You can either use the book to help you grow, or . . . you get the picture.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
I’m writing this book because I’m tired of having this conversation.
It’s a compilation of ideas, advice, and collected wisdom gathered from dozens of e-mails, phone calls, and discussions I’ve had over the last two years.
It is a self-help book. To me, that means, You gotta help ya damn self.
I can point you to the library but I can’t do your research for you. I present you with my truth because it’s been helpful to me and to a lot of my friends, but I can make no guarantees.
You can see it as bullshit
