"You plant the seeds, you don't go look at them every day. Because if you looked at them every day, you'd be like, 'They are not growing. It's just dirt... It's just dirt. Nothing happened. I'm watering them, I planted 'em, like seven days ago... There's just dirt there, forget it.' But, if you walk away and you go, 'No, I planted the seeds. They're done. It's gonna grow.' You come back in a month, that thing has sprouted. You come back in a year, that thing is a tree."

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how it's easy to doubt ourselves when we aren't getting the results we want in that moment. It's in these times that we have to double down on our vision. The external has just not caught up to the internal yet. When you plant a seed you don't go and repeatedly check on it to see if anythings changed. You trust that if you continue to water it, the flower will bloom.

10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.

So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.

Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.
