The Taylor Swift Effect: Industry Savvy

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Matthew 10:16 (NKJV)

Taylor’s industry savvy is mammoth! Every business guru (see some below) lauds her deal-making, share-the-wealth genius. She makes and manages money like a pro– with wisdom and knowledge few people have, treating her staff (and others) with respect.*

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

The strategic plan of God’s performers in film, fashion, music, and theatre… is summarized by Matthew 10:16! 

In the mission fields of entertainment, Christians must acquire industry savvy, LEARNING…

  • How every part works: the Do’s and the Don’ts,

  • What VIPs expect from new talent,

  • Who is well-respected (and who isn’t),

  • Their “behind the scenes” methodologies,

  • Common pitfalls and secrets of success.

Why?

Because each performer is “a business,” aka, “independent contractor.” Can agents and managers advise you? Yes! They help you “navigate” contract details, smooth and negotiate on your behalf.

But…

Before you sign an industry contract or attract a respectable agent…

Your Director says (and Shine agrees), you need an industry education.

SIDEBAR: Even Taylor and her parents “got burned” in early years, when a record label owned and controlled some of her biggest songs, but super-smart Taylore got the last laugh!

ALSO REMEMBER: Before entering a foreign culture, missionaries learn the laws of the land, in addition to their cultural norms.

For your protection, and coming success… become “wise as serpents” to move ahead!

The Taylor Swift Effect: Industry Savvy (Part 3)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
