Lights, Camera, Action! Lucas Takes the Film Industry by Storm
In 1967, realizing that they had stumbled upon what could be a very successful business relationship, Lucas and Coppola joined forces to create their own production company, American Zeotrope. Their first venture was turning Lucas’ student film THX 1138 into a full-length feature film. After being received successfully, Lucas formed his own company, Lucasfilm Ltd., and began writing a film based on his experiences growing up in quiet Modesto. Completed in 1973, American Graffiti went on to win a Golden Globe and was nominated for five Academy Awards. Lucas had now become a recognized name throughout Hollywood.
Lesson #3: Grow a Thick Skin
“You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going,” says Lucas about encountering pessimism. “Put blinders on and plow right ahead.”

I remember growing up we use to play a game called "tag". I am sure you remember playing this game with the neighborhood kids. One or more kids would count to 10 and then chase other kids to tag them and they would be what we called "it". The kids who were tagged were the next ones to count, chase, and tag kids.
