Jona Xiao Instagram – Confession: I didn’t want to book this role.
Not because I didn’t want to work on The Flash, of course! ⚡️
It’s because I was supposed to go on an amazing trip that conflicted with the shoot dates. ✈️
So when I got the audition, I thought to myself, “I want to do a solid job and continue to ‘book this office.’ But part of me doesn’t want to book THIS particular role because I committed to my trip.
And guess what?
That attitude ended up freeing me up! I ended up adding some silly dance moves 💃 to one of my scenes, and gave myself full permission to just PLAY.
…And then I BOOKED THIS DC SUPERVILLAIN ROLE! 🦹♀️ 🎬
No regrets of course 😉 I’m SO grateful that I got to play supervillain Rainbow Raider 🌈 2.0 on such an incredible show!
This experience taught me that if I can just relax enough to get out of my own way and let my fun-flag fly 🏳️🌈 I have a MUCH better shot at booking.
And so do YOU‼️
So the next time you get an exciting opportunity, instead of “Trying super hard” , let it go. Try LESS. 😏 Free yourself from the constraints of trying to “get it right.” Trust yourself.
Do what you might do if you didn’t actually NEED the job.
Try it out and see what happens to your creativity! 🎨
And this also came up as a common thread when our Elite Clients took us behind the scenes and shared their self-tapes that booked. 🎥
The guaranteed formula for success is as simple as ABC:
A-game mentality Business know-how Craft = Success❗️
