Last week, Sweet Cheeks's best friend and business partner pulled the rug out from under him. He announced that he was going to leave the company and moved back to his hometown in Oil Land. Sweet Cheeks and A have been working to build up their company for the past five years and have received a number of accolades - both provincially and nationally. Unfortunately, while the entertainment industry can bring with it some fame and rewards, it can also be a Sisyphean task to get to the top. Sweet Cheeks was on his way to the top and now has been derailed. Last week, he was a mess. He lost his company and his best friend in one day. And though this has been a difficult couple of weeks for the both of us, this crisis has lit a fire under his butt. I like it. Within days, he contacted some large production companies out east and next week he's flying out to meet with them to discuss working with them. I've always wanted him to be more proactive with this company; the majority of the work lay with his business partner. Sweet Cheeks got lazy. His buddy A did everything. Now, Sweet Cheeks has to find the work himself. He can no longer be complacent and expect things to come to him; he must seek it out. Ultimately, his goal is to bring in a huge project and have his best friend move back to the Left Coast to work on it. For me, I would like the financial stability that regular, consistent work can bring.
Working with one of these big companies may bring in some consistent work, but sadly the entertainment industry is anything but stable.
