for someone alright say someone's starting out at square one and they're

trying to kind of do some sort of somewhat of what you did they're an

expert in something what are the first steps they can take to try to cultivate

some relationships with TV booker's well I would say that's the first thing is

you got to figure out who these people are and it's not always easy even if you

know who they are you might have their email address or their telephone number

they're super busy they might already have their staple of people they might

not be in a position where they're looking for their next pundit I mean

that's just a matter of timing being there at the right time if they already

have a staple of five or six people for whatever is on row that they're needing

to book guests to fill and you show up and knock on the door when they already

have five or six they're probably not going to be that interested in you so a

lot of its just timing and being a persistent and keeping knocking on the

door keeping fresh in front of people but first you've got to figure out who

they are and that can come through mutual contacts or if you know somebody

that is already doing TV appearances ask them to share with you who their

Booker's and producers are or you can get a directory and you know get on the

internet and try to research you some of these folks are that could be hit or

miss but really once you establish that relationship you get that person to know

you then you know you can start talking about your credentials who you are what

you know what your background is why what you have to say matters what's your

relevant experience in the field of whatever it is in my case it was

politics and demonstrate to them that you have expertise and then the hard

part is I think and you tell me Jen because you're on the other side of this

you know have been for professionally as a career but for me that my perspective

is then you have to show them that you can in fact put two sentences together

that you are going to take direction when they ask you to look into the

camera you know various things like that that you're relatively well-spoken you

don't get nervous you don't get tripped up on yourself that you can answer

virtually any question and those kinds of things are what are really ultimately

going to impress someone and you know you took a chance on me I mean I have

had a lot of television experience prior to coming on baby's time but I don't

know is that you knew that and you had never seen me probably so and this

before YouTube was really a thing so I could not clips

I think I'd seen your resume and seeing I think ala told me likee that you had

done TV before I was like you know let's have this guy on you know see how it is

and you can also I would do you kind of do pre interviews you talked to him on

the phone see you know how are they and so a couple other things I want to add

to I think Twitter is a great place to find people you can find today's show

Booker's you can find GMA Booker's or CNN Booker's just by kind of perusing

Twitter and look for their job title typically the job title is called

editorial producer or Booker so that's a good way to try to locate people and the

other thing I want to add is that there's a lot of turnover so your

contact at whatever network it is they're they're likely not going to be

in that job for many years so it's something you have to continually do in

order to make sure that your rolodex or your contact list is as up-to-date as

possible I you know I we would still get calls for so insult my old station they

they were gone and the other thing is be easy to work with there are a lot of

people I booked as guests and I would not want to book them again just due to

certain factors you don't want to be the person that's known as being difficult

you want to be the person that makes a producer's life easier and an anchors

life easier and the more demanding like yeah like

the more like things you kind of try to ask of these people the less they're

probably gonna call you back I've had a few of those situations and I'm like you

know never again never again will I do this just because it was ended up being

so much hassle you're like yeah I don't really want this person back again all

right no I would speak to that and say as far as that goes in terms of um being

asked back and not being difficult yeah you don't want to demand a car you know

what I used to do Fox they would send a car and I would even tell them hey

that's not necessary I can drive myself and I think even though they might even

insist oh hey no we do it for everybody we're gonna do it for you okay I think

they appreciate that you at least make the offer the effort to make it easier

for them and being available and not saying no and

embarrassing them showing up on time those types of things I did want to

comment on the something you said about you you paid me a compliment that well

you could we call you and you could talk about anything and maybe yes and no if

it's political probably yes if you called me and asked me to talk about

World Cup soccer I would embarrass myself and I would embarrass you I mean

there are certain things that I know about there's certain things that I know

I know very little about and I made the mistake one time I think it was on fox

news channel going on Fox and Friends or maybe was one of the afternoon programs

they called me and asked me to talk about something it was political but

it's very policy oriented and it was a policy matter that I was not super

familiar with and I have never been one to do really any research when I'm asked

to come and talk about political matters I just know this like this is what I do

is my business I've been doing it for 20-some odd years paid professionally

it's been something that's been in my blood since I was a little kid and so

it's come naturally and I've never been one of those that I don't have to cramp

I don't have to find out what the topic is and then sit down and read a whole

bunch of stuff to be able to put two sentences together and to share some

meaningful opinion about whatever I'm being asked but there's one time I

forget what it was but I know when they asked me to come on and talk about it

might have been about like education policy or something which policy wise I

didn't know a whole lot about and I agreed to go on even though I didn't

know anything about it and in the back of my mind I I probably said hey I

should do a little research on this but that was counter to what I normally did

and so I didn't do it end up going on that program and I mean I'm not saying I

embarrass myself but it was probably the worst interview I ever gave I didn't

really know what I was talking about and I imagine it probably showed to any

viewer that was watching it certainly the producer and the interviewer the

anchor that I was talking to they knew I didn't know what I was talking about and

that particular program that particular producer I don't think they called me

back

How To Get Your Ambition Back In 7 Minutes! - Duration: 7:04.

sometimes you make a few bad decisions in row sometimes you slide off track and

you start to notice that your momentum goes downhill maybe you're making bad

decisions maybe things aren't going your way maybe everything you're trying just

isn't working anymore and you just feel like everything's against you everyone's

against you and it seems like nothing goes your way well that's okay because

you can regain your momentum you can actually come back and put yourself into

a good state again in fact this is normal this is part of life it's ups

well ups going up and down going down so things are always changing sometimes the

result that we're expecting and what we want doesn't match up with what we're

actually experiencing and we could get really frustrated and flustered and

start blaming other people and blaming the circumstances and attacking

everybody and everything ourselves and just kind of resenting and getting

angry at ourselves as well so what do you do how do you get back your mojo

it's pretty easy think back to when things were working for you think back

to a time where it was going what were you doing what were the habits what

routines did you have in place who are the people that you were around how are

you talking to them what were you talking about

what do you think you were thinking about where were your thoughts because

you can pretty much see the projection the outcome that's gonna happen for any

human being by looking into what they're thinking about you see if you have come

into a space where what you're thinking is why does nothing work for me why

can't I get anything right why am I such a failure

why can't I just finally get what I want then you're never going to get what you

want you're just gonna keep looping and staying stuck because you're literally

trying to look for reasons to validate why you're such a stupid idiot and

you're not but because you're telling yourself this eventually you take it on

as an identity and now you're stuck in this rut and now you feel like there's

no way to get out and before you know it somebody who was doing great had all the

momentum in the world everything they touch was turning into gold

now touches something and it turns into crap it just isn't working anymore so

what you have to do is shift the space that you're coming from what are you

thinking about stop thinking about how nothing's working for you and how you

can never get it right and how you're just not good enough and how you've

never been able to accomplish your goals and start thinking hmm what's one thing

that I did write today what's one thing that it actually did well what am i

proud of myself for and the bear thing you're gonna be like ah nothing nothing

I just sucked nothing's good everything's horrible alright alright

let it out let it out but then ask again what did I do well you know there was

something I did well today one thing I'm grateful for hmm well you

know what I watched the sunset nice that was a

good moment I ate a nice meal I had a refreshing glass of water oh you know I

did compliment somebody I made somebody feel good oh well you know I did a favor

for somebody good good and you might say oh how does this help me oh that's not

anything special that's not getting me to what I want and I'm not getting what

I want from doing those things how does that make how does that make me feel

anybody well look when you put your attention on what you're already doing

well it brings more success I can guarantee you any time in your life

where you've been thriving killing it on point

you were focusing on all of your successes you were paying attention to

how good everything was you were seeing all the light in your life and whatever

was dark just kind of got ignored and if you're going through a tough time right

now it's because you're looking at obsessing about all the shadows and all

the stuff that's just not quite right and the more you keep thinking thinking

thinking about it the more you get to keep reliving and re experiencing this

so my question to you is how long do you want to keep this up for another day

another minute hour month yeah how long do you want I've been in these loops and

it's really unpleasant and here's the thing you have a choice at any point to

say you know what enough let me go back to what was working for me what was

making me feel good what did make me happy what are the

things that I enjoy doing most what are the habits that make me feel healthy

make me feel alive make me feel sharp and focused so that I can take on the

world again because you don't have to turn everything you touch into crap you

can make it that golden touch again you can regain that momentum that mojo is

all yours to be hot if only you're willing to shift your thinking if only

you will make the decision to stop concentrating on whatever you might be

doing wrong and you start to focus on what's good about you what are the

actions that you are taking that are yielding success even if they're small

start there and look at the overall routine the habits that you're engaging

in chances are if you're not feeling good about yourself you're probably

using escapism maybe you're reading a fantasy novel well you know that that

doesn't probably make you feel too good but it's a way to go into a different

world or maybe you're watching movies or maybe playing games or be taking drugs

some people that will be it avoid those escapes and look at what

you're not happy with for a second and then look at what would make me happy

okay because there are things you're doing that are making you feel bad so

sure push those away but more importantly focus on what will make you

feel good focus on what you can do to get some success going again and your

momentum is gonna kick start back up you can start to feel great about yourself

again and guess what everything you do will be

successful once again
