Film Courage: Keith, what are your thoughts on waiting for someone to help get your career started?
Film Director/Producer/Writer/Owner of Sutliff Studios – Virtual Productions, Keith Sutliff: You can’t really wait for people because if you just wait, you’re just going to spend your whole life waiting.
I think that especially in this business in Hollywood, you have control of your own destiny like a lot of businesses.
Wherever you’re trying to accomplish, you have to go out and do it yourself because there’s so much saturation and competition in this business that if you end up just waiting, you’re just going to be waiting forever.
You really have to go for what you want and put those goals in your mind and just go for it and make it happen.
Film Courage: What does being an entrepreneur mean to you?
Keith: An entrepreneur is someone who invents and someone who leads and makes things happen for himself and also provides jobs for people.
That’s what my definition of entrepreneur is.
Also is creating their own income and financially for themselves.

Film Courage: Do you think the idea of an entrepreneur having their day free is actually a misnomer where you actually are more on the line for your business, your day might not be what you want it to be because you might have to fix problems,
Keith: That’s one thing I’ve experienced as an entrepreneur is a lot of your days are troubleshooting, going out and trying to get sales and trying to meet other people and network and create income for yourself.
There’s no average day.
Every day is different. So, it’s on you.
It’s your responsibility to create that income and make things happen.
There’s no waiting around and you’re just you have to figure out and you’re constantly troubleshooting and coming up with new ways to create a business for yourself.
Film Courage: Is that something that you realized in the beginning?…(Watch the video interview on YouTube here).
