Dwayne (“The Rock”) Johnson - Details and Discipline in Action

9/5/2014

0 Comments

 
A recent USA Today article about Dwayne (“The Rock”) Johnson’s preparation for his role as Hercules showed what many may describe as the non-glamorous part of being an actor. That is the preparation that occurs before you start to shoot the movie. Among the details was the fact that every 72 hours, Dwayne Johnson would strip down to his underwear and get someone to take 360-degree pictures of his entire body. Then he would send the pictures to his training coach. This was a routine process of trying to manage the visual impact his body would have on screen. 

Accompanying the management of the physical experience was the interior work that consisted of 22 weeks of 7 meals a day along with daily 2-hour workouts. The 7 meals appear at the bottom of this article just in case you are curious.

It appears this attention to detail and discipline is working. According to the August 7 addition of Business Digest, “The Rock” made $52M between June 20, 2013 and June 20, 2014. This made him #2 of the top ten earning Hollywood actors. 

Our business of life insurance also requires discipline and managing details. Our 7-step process begins with a health assessment and ends with a very detailed policy delivery letter. This process normally takes 60 days during which time we are following up on medical reports and attempting to deal with underwriters.

The backstage work, about which the client is unaware, often is what produces the most successful result. Mastering details and discipline is an essential component of success in every endeavor. The willingness to do more like Dwayne Johnson (or our office) should lead to greater success.
