Massive Action, Monumental Results: Transforming Dreams into Reality

Hey there, kindred spirits embarking together on this intricate expedition called life!

Before we dive deep into a story that forever altered the course of my career, let's chat about a principle that's been a game-changer for me: taking massive action. As a life coach, I've seen firsthand how the willingness to leap can transform dreams into tangible realities. It's not just about making moves; it's about making bold, decisive ones that push you out of your comfort zone and into new territories. 

Now, onto a tale that's more than just a chapter in my life—it's the moment everything changed. When I first set foot in LA, I was an extra. One of those folks in the background who fill up the scene but don't get any lines. It paid the bills but wasn't the dream I left Philly for and chased across the country.

Then came my big break, or should I say, the big risk that led to it, on the set of "Getting On," a medical docu-comedy brimming with talent like Laurie Metcalf, Alex Borstein, and Niecy Nash. Here's the kicker: I was asked to audition, a rarity for extras, and to improvise as if I were delivering news to a patient's family. My performance landed me a role as a highly featured extra, a small step closer to where I wanted to be.

By season 2, I was hungry for more. I knew deep down that if I wanted to turn my dreams into reality, I had to take massive action. So, armed with my resume and headshot, I did something that felt as daring as being John Wick—I approached the writer-producer directly to express my ambition of having a speaking role. This wasn't just stepping out of my comfort zone; it was a leap into the unknown, akin to trusting that a single thread could hold me over a chasm.

"I appreciate you and this opportunity you’ve given me. Hear me out…" I said, with probably more confidence than I felt, "I didn't come all this way to blend into the background. I'm here to act." Handing over my resume, I prepared for any outcome. Walking away from that conversation, my heart raced with the thrill of the unknown—more exhilarating than any high-wire act.

What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. A couple of days later, I was informed that I had a role. That bold move didn't just open a door; it flung open the gates to my dreams. It was proof that massive action could lead to massive results. And the ripple effects were just as inspiring—a friend of mine on the show, also found their way from the background to the spotlight (Check IMDb for the character “Vernon”).

This journey taught me a powerful lesson: life doesn't reward the hesitant. It's the bold who reap the greatest rewards. Sure, there's always the possibility of falling flat on your face. But what if you soar?

So, I urge you, dear reader, to embrace the spirit of audacity. Forget about waiting for the perfect moment or fearing the storm. It's about seizing the day, come hell or high water, and transforming your boldest dreams into your brightest realities.

Here's to taking that monumental leap, not because success is guaranteed, but because not trying is the only true failure. Who knows? You might just find yourself flying, surpassing even your wildest dreams.

Keep dreaming big, taking bold steps, and remember, I'm right here in your corner every step of the way.
