Ask any entrepreneur or artist as to their journey to ‘success’ and it’s one of hard graft, of ups and downs, of one step forward and two steps back. This session examines the reasons for being an entrepreneur in the arts, and asks the panel to share their lessons, good and bad across four types of perseverance – intellectual, creative, financial and personal.
Chair: Nick Bolton.

Perseverance and Career Success presented by Brian Patrick Jensen at HLAA Conference, June 2016, Washington DC. This presentation offers two models for perseverance and career success when faced with difficult life and workplace challenges:
1.) A "Diversity" model featuring job-specific "Fit for Duty" analysis and "Learn, Apply, Teach" implementation approach to workplace accommodations; and
2.) A "Perseverance" model to overcoming workplace challenges and prejudice and ultimately being better and more successful, despite adversity and obstacles.
Job candidates, employees and business leaders with hearing loss especially "get" this training. Human resource leaders, diversity officers, top executives and and workplace supervisors benefit a practical plan of action to employ diversity and workplace accommodation initiatives.
HLAA Participant feedback scores were consistently "exceptional" and positive.
* Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.
* Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
* Perseverance is trying again and again.
Tired of the same old GOALS advice that you just didn't get to or rationalized away or? 10 Top tips, slightly tongue-in-cheek, maybe even a little comically cynical...so you can see your real world obstacles and connect your goals to life's real desired success!

The standard definition of grit is “firmness of strength or spirit”. But really, the essence of grit is elusive and complex. It’s doubtful that an exact definition actually exists.
Grit is a combination of resilience and courage, boldness, and resolve. It is a mindset of passion, perseverance, hope, and strong self-belief.
Grit is a fierce determination to succeed. It’s when you bravely take the blows and setbacks that life deals you, defiantly pick yourself up, and keep going. It’s believing in yourself and in your ability to succeed against all odds.

RGD Webinar: Personal Branding & Our Obsession with Being LikedMLD/Mel Lim Design
Branding, the cultivation of an ideal and saleable image, is no longer the sole domain of corporations, celebrities, and politicians. It is now also the purview of the individual. From macro to micro, we live in a world of unprecedented access and virtual transparency. Our information age now disseminates not only news about current events, but also anything anyone wants to know about YOU.
Has personal branding caused us to define ourselves by exterior messages as opposed to our own interior voice? Social media has taken the scrutiny and appraisal of the individual to an exponential level.
Today, the “personal” reveals the “professional.” It is essential that an individual’s “brand” be shaped and defined by their personal set of core values and principles. Just as every corporate and product brand must “know itself, its attributes, and its market,” so too must individuals know themselves, their talents, abilities, interests, and goals.
Real Commitment Breeds Success We believe in the power of a “Performance-Based” Leadership Team. That is why building a No. 1 company requires more than believing in the mission: It takes real commitment to furthering the mission through an ongoing series of actions.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Thank you Marcus and welcome everyone
Whenever I mention the words ‘The Art of Perseverance in filmmaking’, I get the same reaction, a knowing giggle or snigger, and a look upwards for heavely intervention
Everyone here has persevered in filmmaking
Infact you would be quite familiar with this
We’ve all had these thoughts during the creative process
The little voice
The doubting voice
Its such a dangerous voice
NEXT SLIDE
Seven years ago in 2007. twitter was launched and this man launched a thing called the iPhone.
So why do we subject ourselves to seven years of our lives to make a film.
The odds of ‘success’ both critical or commercial are stacked against us, yet we’re all drawn to it.
I was introduced to the Australian Producers survey done by Deb Verhoeven at Deakin Uni, David Court at AFTRS and few other clever clogs
NEXT SLIDE
Now we all familiar with the traditional filmmaking process Interestingly marketing has pushed itself to the beginning due to the disruptive nature of the internet
The bottom line shows the average time for each part, development and funding typically taking over 50% of the time of the film. This “funding gap” is the bain for many producers. How do you fill it with income.
The average feature film take seven years on average to complete. That is a long long period in someone’s life.
NEXT SLIDE
But first I wanted to research perseverance
And Wikipedia provided this definition of Grit which is what psychologists call Perseverance.
I thought perseverance was an intangible feeling, an unmeasurable thing, so I was surprised to hear you can measure it
NEXT SLIDE
Do check out the work done by Angela Duckworth at Penn University
I have put the link up on the Message Board on the Net Work Play Pathable – go and do the test!
Check out some of the questions
I have overcome setbacks to conquer an important challenge
New ideas and projects sometimes distract me from previous ones
My interests change from year to year – not very helpful if a film takes seven years to make.
Setbacks dont discourage me
But the Grit Survey is not very specific to film,
And The Australian Producers Survey looks at motivations for sure, but still doesn’t tell me, or advise me, as to how people get through the filmmaking process.
I wanted to expand on this, explore the colour compared to the black and white data, to find their soul, I wanted to hear their stories.
NEXT SLIDE
And amongst all these perseverances, there is trying to maintain creative control, how do fulfill your creative vision. Maintaining vision amongst the creatives, against pressure from the investors and other stakeholders,
And then issues during production, or post production meaning the vision has to be compromised.
So now I had my four categories of perseverance to map against the filmmaking process.
Having that ‘creed’ helps determine your project selection criteria,
It’s a simple premise but often an overlooked one.
Taking the job for the cash isnt the same as wanting to tell the story
It’s a simple premise but often an overlooked one.
Taking the job for the cash isnt the same as wanting to tell the story
It’s a simple premise but often an overlooked one.
Taking the job for the cash isnt the same as wanting to tell the story
Really really ask yourself if this project is for you. If you can justify the seven years, that justification is a great driver
It’s a simple premise but often an overlooked one.
Taking the job for the cash isnt the same as wanting to tell the story
Only one of my interviewees, Michael Budd, admitted commercial reasons for making his first feature film:
Michael said “Threatrical distribution is so hard so I looked at what sold online. Horror has a huge online audience. I don’t particularly like horror but I could access a community who were prepared to buy it online.”
So lets get into the four types of perseverance.
It’s a simple premise but often an overlooked one.
Taking the job for the cash isnt the same as wanting to tell the story
It’s a simple premise but often an overlooked one.
Taking the job for the cash isnt the same as wanting to tell the story
And next time you are at stage 3 or 4, You can take solace that we all go through the same issues, we all have the chimp nattering away
I hope The Art of Perseverance can help stop the doubt in our hearts
