Take Action! Don’t Wait

article_icon

When I worked in the film industry, I bought an option on a book to turn it into a television film. The writer agreed to also write the screenplay and we arranged a date by when he would deliver the first treatment. Weeks turned into months as I waited patiently for his first version to arrive. In between, I would speak to him and listen to a series of excuses about why it was taking him such a long time.

After nine months, the treatment arrived together with a hand-written note that said, ‘All things come to those that wait’.

    Just FYI - I asked a question following your last copywriting email and did not get an answer……

    regards
