"I try and do my work behind closed doors. I think I used to show my work, but now I try and do my work behind closed doors. And then be like, 'Yeahhh! I'm just free and easy.' You know what I mean? And let them think you got lucky. Whereas I used to want to be like, 'Nooo, I worked so hard!" Now I'm like, let 'em think I just f***ing lucked out."

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 important to protect your ideas before sharing them too quickly with people. Other people aren't always going to see what you see. If you share your idea too quickly a lot of people are going to shoot it down. Not because they don't want you to succeed, but they often believe they are protecting you. It's well intentioned, but not the best for allowing your ideas, stories, etc to blossom. Protect your creativity before it's ready to share with the world.

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.
