What do producers do?
Producers make stuff.
What kind of stuff?
All kinds of stuff.
Why does the world need producers?
Without producers, stuff wouldn’t get done.
Can you be a little more specific?
Maybe you want to work in showbiz, launch a small company in middle-America, or even put a blog online. To make any of those notions a reality, you have to produce them. You need a producer’s mentaility.
Why? At its very core, being a successful producer means one thing…
Take an Idea, and Make it Real
The idea is the easy part. Ideas are a dime a dozen. I’d go so far as to say an idea, in and of itself, is almost worthless. What IS worth something is the execution of an idea. Actually making something concrete, in the real world, out of the abstract idea that exists in your head.
Go Produce Something
Don’t lose yourself in a bottomless pit of “great ideas.” Pick one, and go execute it. Produce that short film. Build the website you’ve been planning forever. Make that iPhone app you’ve been dreaming about making. An idea executed is an idea produced.
Go be a producer. Go make stuff.
