Success secrets of Hollywood’s most bizarre movie director
Published: Sat, 02/02/19
Take movie director David Lynch, for example.
I can’t say I like or understand all David Lynch movies. I did like the original Twin Peaks (not the movie, and haven't seen the new show) and Blue Velvet, though. And I have been applying one thing he does in all his films and TV shows to email for years that's been quite profitable for my emails.
Anyway, here’s why I bring him up:
I read an article in The Guardian about him last year.
And, took notes on some of the more interesting success-related lessons within.
Like, for example:
* Lynch is a "Mission first" guy through and through.
* Which is how he generates so much loyalty from people who should hate him, and despite him avoiding people (he is super recluse).
* He's a filmmaker who rarely watches movies. This gives me hope as a novelist who rarely reads novels...
* Whether purposely or accidentally, he has mastered the art and craft of creating a status about himself, where even if someone thinks his work is dog shyt, they will call him a genius while badgering anyone who disagrees (we see a bit of that with certain business and IM goo-roos...)
Anyway, do with this info what you want.
If you want some guidance on the Mission part — so you can start bringing all the wild and whacky and profitable things having a Mission brings to most people — check out my “Persuasion Secrets of the World’s Most Charismatic & Influential Villains” book.
It spends a lot of time on the idea of a Mission.
No, there’s no checklists or “how tos” to get one.
But, it does serve as a nice, shining beacon for anyone seeking such a thing.
