Week 5 EOC: Progress towards my Four Professional Contacts and Progress on Networking.

I have had the opportunity to obtain three out of the four professional contacts. Currently, I’ve taken the time to obtain an attorney, an insurance consultant, and a tech. I have yet to speak with anybody from the bank. I would like to have a detailed business plan completed before doing so. My goal is to actually speak about realistic situations, rather than small talk that gets me nowhere. It would be a good idea after the business plan is completed to speak with the four contacts again. I can then track my progress, and follow through with some of the tactics. I haven’t had much progress in the subject of networking. It’s not that I don’t want to go and meet new people. I spend most of my day at work, with little time to attend any special events. I’m aware of how important the networking process is. It is definitely vital, in order to be noticed. My goal is to become proficient and consistent with the whole process. Once I graduate, I think it will provoke me to get out there and to hustle for what I seek from the production world. The conventions held in the area, have been something I’ve wanted to try. All in all, it’s not what you know…it’s who you know.

Week 3 EOC: Where are you now, and where are you going

In the past few months my life has changed drastically. I've made some big moves and my agenda has opened up for the better. I'm currently employed with a law firm in which I plan to stay for a while. The plans that I have going on now aren't set in stone. Things can always change and I’ve learned how to adjust. As graduation waits for me around the corner, I look forward to obtaining a second full-time job. I'm not afraid to admit that I’m a workaholic. No matter how many times that I’m told I’ll never be satisfied, I continue to dream bigger. At this point I’m working seven days a week in order to accomplish the goals I plan on reaching. I remain open to new aspects of work at all times. In this point of my life, I can sleep when I’m dead. I'm not impressed with where I’m at now, but I’m on my way. I plan on gaining production experience in other places besides Vegas. I'm thinking of Seattle, Florida, or New York. I have the resources in order to make these major decisions, but I’m waiting until the time is right. Ideally, I want to be able to enjoy what I do. I want to work hard, and play harder. I will never be content with my career status; I want to achieve the inevitable.

EOC: Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property has been referred to as the “Creation of the human mind.” With that being said, Intellectual property is important because it protects various rights, and ideas.  Both categories of IP which include, Industrial property and copyright play an important role.  The entire process of obtaining a copyright can be a bit of a pain, but it is vital in order for an idea to be marked as valuable property.  Obtaining knowledge about intellectual property is definitely a must; this can help in order to keep disputes to a minimum.  Like anything else, a copyright does not continue indefinitely. The process is continually managed upon the tangible form of the idea. Both Copyrights and patents are protected by the U.S. Constitution.

 

     There are many things that are created every day, IP is definitely something that is over looked and taken for granted.  To be educated in the many processes can prepare a creative professional for a successful future.  In the event that a patent is going to be obtained, it is important to follow a few basic steps in the IP process.  While there are many categories, it is important to place an idea, invention in order to file for protection.  It is also important to seek some legal counsel.  A business plan is always a good start in order to keep within a realistic perspective.  An idea is not to be taken lightly; if you can believe it you can achieve it.

week 1 EOC: Sacrifices

     My goals have changed drastically in the last two months.  Just when I thought I settled for the city.  Now that I have new views to look from, my options are wide open.  I had to make certain sacrifices before, and now that things have changed for the better.  I’m in the position to make new decisions.  I now have the option to travel in order to accomplish some of the goals I’ve set in the past.  Ultimately, my family is the reason why I reside in Vegas to begin with.  The future of my career will be decided upon the arrival of my debt.  If I have to leave state in order to get my responsibilities in order.  I’m willing to make that sacrifice.
