Keeping Up With The Kardashians, The Simple Life, Nanny 911
If you have been in the US for more than a minute, you are almost certain to be familiar with the titles above.
But what you might not realize, is the amount of work and effort it takes from many people to pull together just one episode of a television show, or how much creativity it takes to come up with a television show that the American Public with really enjoy.
Meet Shannon Fitzgerald, who works as Senior Vice President of Series Development at MTV in New York. Basically, in Layman's Terms, she creates new shows for the MTV network, both reality and scripted genres.
And with a few feature film projects, speeches to young students, and more also in progress, it seems the self-proclaimed "Accidental Executive" has got a great work ethic.
Today, I asked her a few questions about helping young woman find balance in work and play.
Her Tip?
"Don't be afraid to work hard. Don't waste time on short cuts.Worth it"
We live in an age where people look for shortcuts or quick solutions quite often. We'd rather finish something timely, than take our time to make sure everything is perfect. When we take shortcuts, we uusually end up having to back track and fix something anyways. Be productive and make a good impression on your employers, friends, and co-workers on giving it your full 100% the first time around.
Her other Piece of Advice?
You are in your building years, so throw yourself into it while u have the energy/desire.
Important to play too - good for the soul!
Basically, as a young person trying to build your career, it does take lost of hard work and consistency. BUT it also takes a few breaks here and there. If you work too hard, you'll feel burnt out. It is very important to find the right balance of work and play now.
Trust me, you'll thank us later :)
