• It's all led to this! In our final chapter, we'll explore how to turn the dream of creating factual television programming into a lasting career. From how to sell your next project to the business of staying in business. An indie producer or production company has got to always be continually hustling for dollars. The really good creators work their way toward balance by landing both a summer and fall series. Everyone has a great gift. Some people are highly compassionate; others are visionaries; some have highly analytical task-oriented minds. Perhaps you speak "actor" really well or have a very clear mind for sequential storytelling. Early in your career, mastering one "hard" skill is crucially important. Billionaires Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger are famous for referencing the importance of topflight financial managers knowing their boundaries. Forging a career in the factual television industry can often require making a Faustian bargain when it comes to the relative calmness in your life. If you want certainty and security while staying close to the factual industry, you might well be better served to get a network executive gig.
