You are going to get fired!
All situations come to an end — sometimes good and sometimes bad. Sometimes brutally painful, others mutually agreed upon.
Dirty Secret #2:
They are not your friends.
The artist, the managers, the agents are not your friends. Friendship is earned and not a given. Remember, they are your co-workers first.
No matter what — when it’s business — it’s business.
Yet another defining moment helping me tread the path I so desperately needed to trek. And in this trek, I solidified the first dirty little secret I never wanted to admit: They are not your friends.
Dirty Secret #3:
