The 5-Minute Rule, Cool Tips, and Film School Starts NEXT Saturday


Film School Starts Next Saturday, the 5-Minute Rule, and Cool Tips Inside
 
Hi Everyone!

Before I get to the 5-minute rule, I wanted to let you know that if you are interested in my Actors Film School program, the cost is only $1500, and there is still room for two more students in the January class starting this Saturday, the 17th.  The next start dates are: Saturday, March 28th; and Saturday, May 30th.  I have 2 people already interested in the March class, and one in the May class.  Give me a ring on my cell if you'd like more info: 646-764-1764.
 
Now, let's get into the 5-minute rule.  But first, you need to learn something even more important: WINNERS DO IT NOW.  
 
WISDOM: Winners Do It Now!
 
            What this means is that as soon as you realize you need to do something… DO IT.  Don't wait even for a moment to consider whether you have the time.  JUST DO IT.  When?  Right now, this second.  Immediately.
            Some of you might be thinking, "But there are some things I just physically cannot do right now---the task is too big!" Well, there's your problem.  Break down the size of your tasks into 5-minute tasks.  I call this the 5-Minute Rule (not to be confused with the 10-Second Rule, which comes up later in the book).
 
WISDOM: The 5-Minute Rule (i.e.., if you can't do it in five minutes…)
 
            In other words, if you think about something that you need to do, and then think immediately afterwards, "I don't have enough time to do that," then you're shooting yourself in the foot before you even leave the starting gate.  Let's say your mission is to write a book.  Of course you can't write a book in 5 minutes.  To even think about 'where to start' is overwhelming and scary and downright impractical: it's a rare man indeed who can write a book in less than 5 minutes. 
            However, what are some of the things you could do in five minutes that would lead you towards ultimately writing a book. Let's see:
Could you write out a list of ten potential books in five minutes?  Yup! So do that. 
Could you then write out the draft of the table of contents in five minutes?  Yup! So do that next.
Could you then write the back cover blurb that you find on the back of most books in five minutes?  Yup!  There's you ne xt 5-minute task.
And so on.  The idea is to break down all of you incredibly ambitious and insurmountable dreams into easily digestibly 5-minute tidbits.  Whenever I embark on a huge project, I always start with the finish line, and then work backwards until I have the entire project broken down into childishly simple 5-minute chunks that I can do in my sleep (or heck, even when I haven't had any sleep).  The idea is to put your success plan on autopilot.  (NOTE: The above text is an excerpt from my upcoming books, "Yes I Do Sleep" and also "The Artist's MBA", coming out this summer.)
 
Finally, folks, I wanted to share some cool tips and tricks I learned recently
 
First, check out www.copytalk.com.  Basically, you call the number, dictate what you need to say, and in less than 4 hours, an email transcription of exactly what you said is sent back to you.  My friend Peter Bielagus turned me onto this tool---I am using it to transcribe all of my journals from my time in Iraq without having to type them, which is laboriously slow.  Now, I spend 30 minutes a day just talking into my cell phone as I read aloud from my journals, and voila, later in the day, I just cop y and paste the emails into Word and press 'save'.  Cool, eh?
 
Second, do you hate typing?  If you have Windows Vista, did you know that it has dictation software built in?  If you have a microphone and Vista, just type the words, 'Speech' into the search menu and voila, you'll be talking instead of typing in no time.
 
Third, do you wish you had money to go back to school?  Guess what?  You do.  It's called government loans.  Wait, before you roll your eyes, think about this: a) it only takes 10 minutes to fill out the FAFSA aid application online; b) you can get up to $220,000+ for higher education; c) you don't have to pay back a dime of the loan until 6-months AFTER you leave school; and d) you will end up with a higher paying job and/or better opportunities as a result.  Right now, I am about $175,000 in student debt, and it's rising, and I don't care.  As a result of this debt, I now have a masters of entrepreneurship; I am 18 months away from receiving my JD/MBA degree; and as soon as I do, I am starting my 4-year PhD in business leadership.  Why so much education?  For all the reasons I mentioned above: a) it's easy to get approved; b) the money is there; c) I don't have to pay any of it back until AFTER I finish my PhD in 2014; and d) these degrees are going to make me so rich that paying back the loans is going to be a piece of cake.  So... please, for your future's sake, go back to school and get a degree in something truly bankable, i.e. doctor, lawyer, dentist, accountant, etc. and in 5 years, look back (from your Hawaii beach house) and think, "Wow, Monroe sure was right!  I am SO glad I listened to him."
 
Well, that's it for now!
 
Oh, for those who are on the edge regarding my film school, I gotta tell you something.  I really believe that Actors Film School is my crowning achievement.  I feel like everything I have been learning and doing over the last 8 years has culminated in this amazing program.  Actors Film School is no doubt the coolest program I have ever created, and I AM SO STOKED AND EXCITED!  Seriously, check this out: I have seamlessly integrated film school, acting school, editing school, business school, law school, and a Tony Robbins seminar all into one amazing, life-changing, and---here's the best part---affordable program.  Please read this entire email, including the testimonials at the bottom---I think by the end of it I will have convinced you to interview for one of the 2 remaining slots in the January course, or one of the remaining slots for the March course.

Need more incentive?  Here are the three testimonials from the last three students who just completed the course this past December:
 
Testimonial from Arthur Brown, Writer/Producer/Director/and Star of "The Return of Captain Schticklach"

"I am writing to endorse Monroe Mann's Actor's Film School.  In the course of seven weeks, we've written original scripts, broken them down by shot, used a unique system for determining props costume and cast, studied lighting technique, as well as proper camera usage – and most importantly – completed our films! Monroe is both knowledgeable and inspirational – guiding us, in an extremely organized and foresighted fashion – to a result-driven process incorporating the best practices of film-making."
 
Testimonial from Ryan White, Writer/Producer/Director/and Co-Star of "Yes I Can"
 
"I love this course! Monroe really sets everyone up for success. I love all of the simple yet powerful tips I have learned in the short time I have been attending this course about acting, filmmaking, and running a business, and creating a successful career.  One of the best things about the program is that it is so flexible to each person's needs.  Not only that, but it's loads of fun!  I recommend it to anyone who is interested in a career in acting and filmmaking.  Seriously, Monroe, thank you so much for presenting your ideas and philosophies to me and the=2 0rest of the class. You have great energy, and your passion for life and all its possibilities and success is amazing.  During the class portion, I loved what you shared on speaking your accomplishments and not being afraid to sell your services.  During the production portion, I loved how hands-on it all was, and how we all were a part of our fellow classmates' films.  I really loved being a part of your film program because I know that working with successful people is so important.  And I believe in you.  Thanks again."
 
Testimonial from James Oliver, Writer/Producer/Director/and Star of "Mahiana"
 
"I met Monroe at a seminar where he was teaching a workshop on how to produce your own projects, and was very impressed by his drive and willingness to excel at everything he does.  I joined the film class in an attempt to improve on my voice acting for voice over gigs.  Little did I know how much more I would be getting by enrolling in Actors Film School.  In addition to improving my acting voice, I have also learned how to write my own screenplay, how to direct a film, and how to act in films.  As a producer, I have lear ned the importance of preparation and organization.  The coolest thing about the class besides the close friendships you establish is the hands-on interaction.  No sitting in a boring class room setting.  It's "on the move" fun and a relaxing atmosphere, despite the rigorousness of the program.  Also, you're not left out there on your own.  Everyone has a stake in seeing your project through to the end, and Monroe makes sure you not only write your screenplay, but is there with you on set every step of the way helping you to produce it, and is there helping you through the editing process as well.  Great job Monroe... rock on!"

Super Inspiring TRUE Story.


 
Hi Everyone!
 
My friend Susan Ayalin just sent this to me.  While the ending of the story has a religious overtone (that I myself believe, incidentally), don't let that prevent you from reading the story.  The point of the story is applicable to us all, especially those who know New York City, regardless of our religious beliefs.  I was going to give you a heads up about what it's all about, but that would give away the surprise ending.  Enjoy!

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly couple entered the lobby
of a small hotel and asked for a room. The clerk explained that
because three conventions were in town, the hotel was full. "But I
can't send a nice couple like you out in the rain at 1:00 a.m.," he
said. "Would you be willing to sleep in my room?"

The couple hesitated, but the clerk insisted. The next morning, when
the man paid his bill, he said, "You're the kind of manager who should
be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I'll
build one for you." The clerk smiled, amused by the older man's
remark.

A few years passed and one day, the clerk received a letter from the
elderly man, recalling that stormy night, and asking him to come to
New York for a visit. A round-trip ticket was enclosed.  When the
clerk arrived, his host took him to the corner of 5th Avenue and 34th
Street, where stood a magnificent new building. "This is the hotel I
have just built for you to manage," said the man.

"You've got to be joking," said the clerk. "Who are you?"

"My name is William Waldorf Astor," said the man. "And I'm most
certainly not joking."

That hotel was the original Waldorf-Astoria, and the young clerk, who
became its first manager, was George C. Boldt. The Bible is very clear
that in the end, we will be rewarded for our faithfulness to the call
of Jesus Christ with a lifetime in heaven for eternity.


It's Monroe again.  What a great story, right?  What's the point: DO THE RIGHT THING.  GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY.  TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED.  Do all these things, and guess what?  You may end up with your very own hotel too!
 
While I have your attention, if you are interested in my Actors Film School program, the cost is only $1500, and there is still room for two more students in the January class starting this Saturday, the 17th.  The next start dates are: Saturday, March 28th; and Saturday, May 30th.  I have 2 people already interested in the March class, and one in the May class.  Give me a ring on my cell if you'd like more info about the school, or about my one-on-one career, financial, and marketing coaching programs: 646-764-1764, or visit   www.ActorsFilmSchool.com.

# 10.  WRITE AND PUBLISH YOUR BOOK ALREADY (or publish a NEW one!)
A published book available at Amazon & Barnes and Noble is without a doubt one of your biggest credibility builders.  It establishes you as an authority.  It makes you an expert.  It makes you COOL!!!!  (And they are a great way to make passive income through royalties.)  Whether it's a non-fiction book, an exciting new novel, or even a children's book, you owe it to yourself to finally do what you have always dreamed about.  I can help you write it, find the best publisher, and sell it across the globe.  Given that one of my last books, 'Guerrilla Networking' hit the Barnes & Noble bestseller list, it should be clear that I am an authority on writing, publishing, and marketing your awesome new book.  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 9. CREATE & PRODUCE YOUR OWN BIG PROJECT
The biggest success stories in history are about those who took the bull by its horns and made their own big breaks and opportunities.  Don't wait for someone to 'discover' you or make you successful---you've got to do it yourself.  It's time to produce your own films.  Write your own screenplays.  Present your own live musical events and seminars.  Open your own business.  Create your empire!  And the list goes on.  Do you have the ambition to speed up your success quotient?  Then call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 8. GAIN CONTROL OF YOUR FINANCES ONCE AND FOR ALL
Far too many people think that they are going to 'wait until they are rich' before learning how to properly manager their money.  That is backwards.  You are going to BECOME rich by learning how to manage your money.  Not only did I graduate with with my Masters in Entrepreneurship last May, but I'm now 2/3 through my Certified Financial Planner studies at Boston Institute of Finance.  My many clients have been reaping the benefits of my knowledge and expertise--they've been buying houses, investing in the stock market, setting up emergency savings account, establishing trust funds, and heck, they even know how to balance their checkbooks---what a concept!  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 7. PUT TOGETHER A KICKASS MARKETING PLAN
This past year, I was invited as a guest onto 'The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch'.  I did not find them; they found me, and they called me, and they invited me.  Now THAT is marketing.  Another story?  Last year, I put together a strategic marketing plan with the help of over 20 joint venture partners to get my book 'Guerrilla Networking' (co-written with Jay Conrad Levinson) to the # 1 spot on Barnes & Noble's 'business life and careers' best seller list.  Pretty cool too.  Here's another: just yesterday (January 2nd), I got invited to be a guest on the 4th largest radio station in California, with a broadcast range from Los Angeles down to Baja, Mexico.  Cool, huh?  Well, as a certified Guerrilla Marketing Coach, I can help you put together a similarly successful marketing strategy for your own business and career endeavors.  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 6. GET RID OF YOUR SHORT-TERM MENTALITY
Planning is the key to career success.  Without it, your situation resembles that of an empty rudderless ship floating on a lake--you can't tell where the ship has been, or where it is going.  Career planning--and I mean long-term ten years in the future career planning--gives direction to your career and business dreams.  It is often said that the reason poor people are poor is because they operate using a 1 - 3 month mentality whereas the millionaires of the world operate using a 7 - 10 year mentality.  Isn't it time you put together a long-term business strategy for your life, career, and business?  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 5. LEARN HOW TO MANAGE TIME LIKE A PRO
Every week, someone asks me for my time management secrets.  It seems everyone is in awe of all that I am able to accomplish.  For example, right now, I am getting ready to start teaching my second class section of Actors Film School; I just bought my books for my 4th semester of law school starting next week; I am finishing up the budget for our (me, Ronnie Khalil, Bob Madia) feature-length horror script, "The Quiet" which we plan to start shooting this spring; I am enrolled in my last 3 months of studies at Boston Institute of Finance; I am continuing meetings with my partner Phil Malandrino and a German hedge fund about their investing in a number of our projects; I am editing the next episode of my celebrity talk-show, "Before the Big Break"; I am finishing up three new books; I am preparing for my next two speaking engagements at AFTRA; and this list goes on and on!  Folks, believe it or not, I'm not superman, and yes, I do sleep (and incidentally, that's the name of my upcoming new time management book--'Yes, I Do Sleep')  Anyway, the secret is in how I manage my time, and how I have taught myself to maximize every minute of every hour.  Best part?  My techniques are very easy to use.  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 4. GET MORE ORGANIZED AND FOCUSED THAN EVER BEFORE
Side by side with time management is organization and focus.  It doesn't matter how well you manage your time if you are not focused and organized in your approach.  Solid organization is KEY to good time management because the more organized you are, the more quickly you can find things and get things done.  The more organized you are, the more trust other people have in you and the more likely other people will want to work with you.  The more organized you are, the better you feel about yourself in general and the more confident you become!  Wouldn't you like to become more organized and focused than ever before?  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 3. INVENT SOMETHING AMAZING
Did you know that Thomas Edison held over 1000 patents?  Isn't that so cool?  Wouldn't it be just as cool if you yourself held some patents?  Even just one?  Okay, I bet a bunch of you are thinking that it costs upwards of $5000 to secure a patent.  If so, you'd be 100% mistaken.  You see, in 1996, congress and Clinton signed a  bill that created something called the Provisional Patent Application.  By filling out the one-page form and then writing up a few pages about your patent, and sending it in to the patent office, you can claim 'patent pending' status for one year.  During that time, you can talk freely to everyone and anyone to get a licensing agreement.  Best part, it only cost... $125.  Yes, only one hundred and twenty-five dollars.  As for me, I have a new invention patent pending right now that I am currently proposing to Timex, Hammacher Schlemmer, Brookstone, etc.  What about your great ideas?  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
 
# 2. MAKE MORE MONEY
This is a no brainer, right!  2009 has just GOT to be the year that you make more money, yes?  And I can help!  It has been proven that most millionaires in America made their fortune through one of three ways: 1) Stock Market, 2) Real Estate, and most frequently, through 3) Their Own Business.  These people took their money from other sources and invested in one or all of these three paths to riches, and voila, after years of hard work, they 'suddenly' woke up as millionaires.  Sure, it's not easy, but it is certainly doable, and all of my clients (including myself) are on similar paths and it would be a pleasure for me to help you create a personalized long-term financial strategy for you; one that will lead you too towards the millionaire's circle.  Do you want to get on that same path to riches and financial freedom?  Call me today at 914-481-1641 or reply to this email to discuss your unique situation for 20 minutes at no charge and let's get your new year off to a great start!  My 5-week one-on-one jumpstart program is only $750, and satisfaction is guaranteed!
