At Walt Disney World, you can get a FastPass that allows you to wait in line for popular rides for minutes instead of hours. It’s genius for them and their park guests.
If you are an artist, creative, film maker, broadcaster or writer, you have been given a fast pass.
Not too many years ago it might take months, if not years, to publish your book. Now you can get a blog up and running in less than 20 minutes and write your first post in 10. You could write the great American novel serial style (a chapter a day) in a month. Look out, Charles Dickens and Stephen King!
Not too long ago, if you wanted to broadcast, you either needed connections at the local radio station or lots of fancy equipment–ideally, both. You can now podcast on a shoestring. Look out, Clear Channel!
If you wanted to make it in film back in the day, you needed to live in New York City or LA. You needed an agent, time spent in the business and a huge budget. Now you can make a film on your phone, edit it on iMovie, and BOOM: You’re an artist, a filmmaker, a producer and a director. Look out, Sony Pictures!
You have a fast pass: a print publishing platform, a broadcast microphone and an entire film studio.
What in the world are you waiting for?
