"I GIVE GOOD PHONE" — LYDIA SAM RAWLINGS!
I’m often asked why I invest so much time sharing information via the newsletter, the video tips, the tele-seminar’s, speaking engagements, etc. There are three specific reasons I hold dear to my heart. They are ideal and certainly one includes the desire to create revenue.
THINK ABOUT IT! It’s a business after all. Frankly, it’d be foolish and irresponsible of me to spend time providing insights on how to position yourself to create a successful profitable business and then lead one that does not operate successfully. Right?
Another ideal reason is because I want to empower people to reach their dream. As the saying goes, “Feed a man a fish, feed him for one day. Teach him how to fish and feed him for the rest of his life.”

I receive notes from folks time to time letting me know how the various services we provide have helped them in some small way. Such a note arrived over the weekend from Lydia Sam Rawlings . It’s posted below.
This note moved me. So much so that I was compelled to share it here.
Lydia, Thank you for the very kind words. They are soooo appreciated. I’ll continue to do my best to teach you and others… how to fish!

Dear Mr. Acuna,
The Business of Show business is a much needed service, especially for those residing outside of Hollywood.
I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am on limited disability income so I can’t take advantage of your services though I sign up for your newsletter, free teleseminars and video tips. I always get something out of them. Thank you. I am not new to this town. I founded and ran (until recently) the film writing development group, ScriptWrights. Thanks to the courage I mustered from listening to your advice, I’ve started submitting to contests again ( a semi finalist and a few quarterfinalists in the past) and recently submitted two scripts to a producer. I am still writing 3 to 4 scripts a year or major rewrites and though I can’t network or take meetings, you made me realize I can network on the internet and take advantage of the fact I “give good phone”. You saved my creative life.
Thank you..
Lydia Sam Rawlings
