          Dear Rock,

It is with excitement that I write to let you know that I will be flying out from Sydney, Australia to attend your Sunday event next week to meet both you and Bill Hooey.  I arrive in LA on Thursday 7th and hope to arrange a few meetings with  Agents and producers before your live weekend event.

After reading your book Hollywood Success and getting to ‘know’ more about the circles of people you attract, I am sure I will learn so much as well as getting to meet you in person, which has been a goal.  I am making contact with Michelle to see if she is available too.

Please put me down for a place at your event and I will happily pay on line or at the door.

Looking forward to finally meeting you Rock and Bill.

Yours happily,

        Shelley Sykes – BSc IT MBA Dip Psych Dip Journo CSP

Professional Actor/Producer/Author/Casting Director

"Alien Actor" Bill Blair will be joining us next Saturday (July 14) as a special guest on the call.  He wrote the book on professionalism for actors  -- literally -- entitled, "The Professional's Talent Handbook." 

Most information in the film/TV business is mis-information.  99.9 percent of the people who call themselves actors are failing.  They are telling other people what they are doing in order to fail.  "I'm failing.  Why don't you do the same things I do.  All of the failures are doing it."

Most advice is based on theory and ignorance.

The purpose of the agent was discussed.  Rock was a successful agent and agency co-owner.  He sold his half when it was no longer fun.   The agents job is to negotiate money and billing for you once you get hired.

These are the most powerful 2-letter words in the English language:  "If it is to be, it is up to me!"

You, the actor, should do your job, which is getting work.  Then I, as the agent, can do my job of negotiating money and billing.  Rock's forte' as an agent was negotiation.

We are sharing inside information with you on this call.  If you have a passion to succeed in this industry, and you do not have the answers, you will find yourself amongst the dozens and dozens of actors who give up every day.  Potential SuperStars are giving up everyday.  They don't have the road map to success and they are in the center of masses of lost people.  We are here to give you the road map.

There are dozens of actors on TV series whose talent could best be described as mediocre.  Is this industry based on talent?  Absolutely not.

You've all seen bad actors and said, "I could have done 100 times better than that person," and you're right.  So, why did that person get the role and not you? 

Eugene Mandelcorn was introduced.  He is President of F.A.N., an international organization of credited feature film producers.  APS actors are invited to their monthly meetings, and they do hire our actors.

Eugene has shot two episodes of "Real Deal" starring an APS member!  Yea.  He mentioned several of his upcoming film and television projects.

Shelley Sykes will be joining us in person tomorrow.  She flew in from Sydney to join us tomorrow.

Rock introduced Melody Jensen and mentioned her upcoming productions.  Melody is scheduled to speak at our August 5th seminar.  And, she is changing her plans in order to attend tomorrow's Studio City Event as well.

Melody is executive producing several upcoming features as well.

Melody:  "The harder we work, the luckier we get."  What we think, we become.  She suggested we see the movie "The Secret."  Happiness was discussed.  We all create our day.  Motion Picture Council of Southern California was mentioned.  Success begins with discovering you and what you really want.  Integrity is very important.  Good, honest, hard-working people are in demand.  You will definitely stand out in this industry if you have integrity.

People do want to do business with people who are honest, who do what they say, and who are honest.

Melody has groomed national and international winners.  35+ years in the image business.  She spoke of her upcoming feature film.  She mentioned her charity, Champions for Children. 

Melody's events were discussed.  Her last red carpet event in Newport Beach drew over 200 people.  Quite a number of the attendees said Melody's event was better, more productive, and more fun that the Oscar parties they had attended.

Melody invited all on the call to come to her next events.  www.MelodysSecret.com is her site.  The information is there.  Those who are viewing these notes are invited.  No charge.  It's a gift from Melody Jensen.  A lot of heavy-duty VIP industry people attended the last event.

Melody invited everyone to take the $35.00 personality profile ... for free.  That information is above next to her photo.

Concentrate on your strengths.  Feel and look your best so you can act your best.  You never get a second chance to make a first impression.  The personality profile was discussed.

Rock introduced Shelley Sykes.

Shelley Sykes complimented Melody.  "I commend Melody on everything she said."  We need to believe that we are before we become.  One must be happy and healthy inside before we can experience major success.

"Rock, you're doing a brilliant job."  "Everybody, this is Global Happiness Day." 

Rock: The Elvis Chapel in Vegas booked marriages every 15 minutes from 10:01 AM this morning until midnight tonight.

Stephen Spielberg approached Shelley to produce her book, "Callum's Cure," as a feature film.  They like the idea.  They like the treatment.  The attorneys are not working out the details.  "I will keep you, Rock, informed, as it goes through all the stages.  There will be a lot of acting jobs in it, because there are a lot of characters in it."  This will be a great opportunity for actors.

Shelley spoke on stage for Tony Robbins, many more.  Having integrity is important.  Anything is possible in this business.  Shelley is about to put $1.5 million together to sponsor a TV show called "Happy Hour."  

Melody Jensen broke it.  "I'm going to reschedule everything and meet you at Rock's seminar event tomorrow."

Shelley has been asked to do the Ophra show, and discussed that upcoming show.

Rock discussed a miracle.  You'll have to listen to the recording to know what it was. 

Shelley's son was born blind and unable to walk.  Doctors said he would never walk and never see.  He now sees and walks.  The Spielberg movie will be based on his and Shelley's story.

Shelley's reasons to be sad if she chose to do so.  Successful people choose to focus only on what's going right in their lives.  Donald Trump's $900 million loss was discussed. 

Melody mentioned her daughter and their upcoming true life feature film.  Melody's daughter was molested.  The perpetrator killed himself a week later.  Jackie's story (Melody's daughter) was discussed.

We've all had issues.  It's how we deal with them.  She shared a story about a homeless man in Sydney, Australia.

Enjoy the moment of being you.  "How we see ourselves."  The gift of a limousine story ... Walt Disney was discussed.  274 investors turned Disney down before he got his money ...

Bill Hooey was introduced.  He will be appearing in person in Studio City. 

Melody Jensen will bring a "B-Happy" spray for everyone who attends tomorrow's seminar.  That's a $25.00 gift for each person who joins us tomorrow.

There is no such thing as coincidence.  Bill Hooey discussed his column and a TV show and shared some of his unique humor with us.  '60s humor. 

Rock unmuted everyone on the call.  Any questions?  Trena Marie Hill mentioned the energy on the call.  Everyone seemed to really enjoy the phone call.

Melody talked about the "coincidence" that she is in touch with us after a very busy past six months.

FUN -- we must have fun. 

Rock mentioned HollywoodSuccess.com, the Show Notes page, and thanked those whom he knew were on the call. 

Shelley Sykes:  "I am here in Sunny California L.A. because of the book Rock wrote."   Anthony Robbins spoke of APS and Rock Riddle on stage. 

Any final burning words of wisdom? 

Daniel Wallace thanked all of us.  He worked with Tad Atkinson and said "Tad is brilliant." 

Over 14,000 actors knew about this seminar.  Yet, our call is not full.  There is no competition,  The only competition you have is sitting in your seat.  This is amazing, free publicity.  Please help spread the word about this call.

Melody Jensen is working on a multiple nine-figure deal to produce 14+ feature films.  She invited all on the call to feel free call her directly.

How did we fit so much into one hour and thirty-three minutes?  What a great call!
