Money Is Not Always the Right Motivation

The rigodon of talents among the networks always involves money. Whether a transferee says the reason was for better opportunity, finances are still considered. Money speaks, especially for big networks who can afford to keep several artists in their backyard and offer very lucrative contracts. Sometimes, a talent might just be disgruntled and just move out without thinking of possible consequences without having a network home.

Sometime ago, everything was set. Shows were lined up and presented to Talented Personality (TP). First, TP was going to be part of the panel of a franchise talent show. Second, another show for hosting was in the works. Third, TP was going to join a top rating weekly show of the network (N1). The projects would mean TP would have exposure and money for several years. Of course, there would be opportunities for more endorsements and appearing in movies. The proposal was unbeatable, as the terms were commensurate to the worth of TP in the industry. N1 wanted TP, as this celebrity is the only one missing in its stable of the best artists in the land.

As N1 waited for that elusive signature, TP took time to analyze the offer. When the present network (N2) got wind of the offer and that TP was contemplating on moving, the management presented terms that made TP think harder. While N1 offered money, N2 offered time. Matching all financial matters, N2 allegedly included a provision that guarantees payment for TP even if TP had no show. All TP had to do was remain with N2. The only thing they requested was for TP to remain as judge for a flagship show.

The choice between having money and having free time for family was a no brainer. After working for a couple of decades, which meant so many sacrifices, TP has been smart with earnings. As a result, TP has a comfortable life. Then, the partner of TP is highly responsible, and thus TP would have support if finance issues arise. Further, someone pointed out to TP that accepting the offer of N1 might lead to overexposure, and thus, fans will take the presence of TP for granted. If TP did accept the offer, then that would mean hours of rehearsals for shows and less time for family.

After studying which matters most, N1 can stop waiting, as the elusive signature will go on the dotted line for N2.
