You create your own success. No one can or will do it for you. People may help make things happen for you but first you need to step up and make things happen for yourself. In this Vancouver interview, you’ll meet Margaret Mardirossian, President and CEO of Anaïd Productions, a self-starter quite familiar with the “business” end of the phrase “show business”. But it wasn’t always like that. The string of successful non-fiction and drama series she has produced for global audiences is a direct result of identifying – with advice and counsel from her mentors and teammates – what she needed to know to generate success … then going out and gathering that knowledge and applying it to the challenges at hand. You’ll hear about the importance of networking and building a team of trusted advisors and partners. All bring their special skills into the mix. You’ll hear how she hired a tutor to sharpen her knowledge and familiarity with raising funds for productions. And found a life partner in the process. Margaret’s advice on cultivating the mindset of an Olympic athlete when approaching challenges is inspiring. You are the only person who can limit or restrict your opportunities. Even creating and producing great reality television requires a thorough reality check! “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right!” - Henry Ford, American Industrialist Subscribe to the free Monetizing Your Creativity podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/monetizing-your-creativity/id1082894462?mt=2 While you're there, please leave your comments and suggestions for future episodes.
