If you’re looking to break into the industry, here are five things you need to know:

1. Passion is everything. According to Mizigo Express’s Dickson Zzizinga, when starting out in the industry money should not be the driving force. Yes, it must be there but to make it in the industry, passion is the key.
    
2. Trust yourself. Believe in your abilities and yourself. “Believe you can do it and work hard on getting better.”
3. Be convincing in your craft. If people don’t react to your character, then you are not bringing it.
