Anything But Ordinary – Richard Hatch: Commitment

Anything But Ordinary – Richard Hatch: Commitment

by Laurie Wilhelm

This is a very short clip from the new film Anything But Ordinary. In this clip, actor Richard Hatch discusses the commitment he made to get his Battlestar Galactica project off the ground.

It’s interesting to hear that once he made the commitment and worked towards his goal, everything started to fall into place and come together. It made me think that when you want a project, idea, or initiative to come together, you have to rely on other people – even when it seems like they’ve come out of the woodwork – to help you. When you have effective interpersonal relationship skills and good communication skills, you’ll likely be more successful. Others will want to work with you because you’re someone they want to be around, associate with, and help out. If you start to nurture your relationships early on, your goals may have a greater chance of success.
