    I had a friend who took me on a lead to a potential client. They wanted me to film an “event” for free. We had one meeting about it, I asked a bunch of questions about the event and how they wanted the video to look. Long story short I didn’t get much out of them. So I show up to this “event” and it’s literally just elderly people driving up to a tent and getting food handed to them through their car window. I tried to back out because I knew the shoot was going to be pointless but I let my friend talk me into it. I think like 3-4 cars showed up and I had like maybe 10 minutes to shoot them a montage of something they didn’t even have a vision for. I was under the impression this was going to be happening for a few hours as they said it’s their biggest event of the year. I went to swap out to another lens after getting in some gimbal shots. Came back out after like 4 minutes and it was over. Needless to say they didn’t hire me for future projects and the video was trash and they expected something to come of it from a 10 minute “event.” I guess they decided to fork up some cash and hire someone to make them a promo video. If I had to give any advice it’s that if you’re going to do free work then make sure it’s for something you enjoy and know will turn out. If someone is begging you for free content then walk away.

    This video has been so helpful to me and my videography business and it SHOULD have millions of views but people don't want to hear the truth to what it actually takes to grow. It takes hard work. You have to have patience. You're going to fail at first. That's all part of it. Having a strong "why" is very important. It's going to take time, and if you're not will to put in the work and do all the little things you need to do to grow your business, you will not stand out. Thank you Parker for this video. I've probably watched this over 30 times. Good to have a reminder of where I may be lacking in my own career. God Bless you!

    I'm not a videographer but a singer, songwriter and music producer.
    The thing is, i can use every bit of information that you shared and can ultimately use it to increase my productivity, manageability and also to grow my business as well. There were lots of diff aspects on which you talked about and i really do have to think about and work on those myself. Having a vision or a plan is the most important thing. Thank you so much for helping. Really appreciate it.

    Parker never came off to me as introverted but hearing him say that he is/was makes me feel at ease because I’d consider myself introverted so it’s a challenge to get in someone’s face and try to sell myself or my service. Over the years I’ve gotten much more comfortable and confident and I’ve taken trips down to Miami and walked into random businesses, I’ve showed my face and met with the owners etc. to build that connection.
    I’m a strong believer of getting up off your butt and going in now. Makes a very big difference.

    next to our RUclips channel, we started doing paid work as editors and through that work just recently had the opportunity to shoot an event and an interview. For that we rented out a second pro camera and invested in a softbox and the DJI Mic system which is a game changer. Renting good cameras for high quality gigs costs next to nothing and ups the production value immensely. One thing we do to overdeliver is that we did not mention doing photography, but decided to get some good still shots of speakers and groups. We surprised them *the next day* with lightroom-edited full frame pictures for free, and now we're working on the video edit, which naturally takes longer.

    Since Arthur gave such a great recap, I will keep this short and sweet.
    You can apply these principles to life.
    I am a Sr. Lead Information Security Analyst. Most of the "rules" can be applied directly to my life.
    Rule 3, and 4. How do I meet people in my field. Get involved so people know my name in a good way when they think about information security, or whatever job you do. Are there organizations, or annual conventions you might go to? You meet people, network, and opportunities will present themselves.
    Rule 9. This one is easy. What does my resume look like. Did I finally get that masters degree? How about those certifications I have been working on? Are there things in your career that will put you to the top of the stack for a potential job? In my case there are many companies that demand certain certifications, just to be considered. Get those to give you a leg up.
