Time is such an important part of the LA dream journey.

In the beginning, everyone wants to know HOW LONG it will take to make things happen. 

Many people spend years and years with no real success.

Some people put a time limit on their dreams. Like, "If I don't make it in 5 years, I'll move back home."

And then there's me.

I landed my first TV show within just two weeks.

I didn't wait years and years before seeing my own success. I also never put a time limit on my dreams. 

How do you want to fit into those extremes?

Most likely, you want your success to happen as soon as possible. Obviously, I did, too.

So I want to share with you two techniques to speed up that time; to help you make progress faster.

These are techniques that I use all the time. And I've seen it work for others like a charm.

Essentially, they are solutions to problems that we encounter while going after that big dream job.

Today was just one of those down days on the roller coaster of going after your dreams. 

Fear, doubt, comparing myself to others more successful, and plenty of tears.

You know I moved to LA to go after a dream. A dream of working in television. 

That dream happened, and has been AMAZING. 

When I was getting ready to move across the country, I never imagined that I would have had the success that I’ve had.

But now I have a new dream.

And that dream is LA Bound.

There is really only ONE thing you need to know about getting a "day" job, in order to find success in your dream job.

You may be freaking out or just plain worried about finding a job in LA. 

I completely understand: we are used to the idea of stability, and without it, we don't know how to function.

The thing is, that fear usually sends us down the wrong path. Or at least stops us from going down the dream path.

That's why I want to share this ONE important thing with you. If you do this one thing, it will save you from going down the wrong path. It will help you actually achieve your dream career.

Staying inside your comfort zone can be totally crippling to your career. 

There are two ways this can really hurt your ability to achieve your dreams:

1) By completely staying inside your comfort zone and not even trying to get past it. These are the people who don't do anything to go after their dream because it's too scary or uncomfortable. 

2) By thinking you're taking action towards making your dream happen, but your actions are comfortable and you don't even realize. 

To avoid being one of these two people, ask yourself this:

When you dream about working some amazing job in a really competitive industry, it's a total buzz-kill when you don't have any connections to that industry. Right?

I mean, when your Mom's friend doesn't produce movies, or your cousin's roommate doesn't work at a record label, or your Uncle isn't the head of NBC, how on earth are you supposed to break in?

Those were my thoughts exactly, when I moved to LA from Philly with a HUGE dream of working in the film industry. I did not have a single connection. Zero.

The heat wave in Los Angeles right now is out of control.

Everyone is uncomfortable. Everyone is complaining. 

Oh, and when I say "everyone", I'm including myself. For sure. 

In a city where the weather is usually fairly mild, and roughly the same every day, the people don't discuss the weather.

I've been getting this question a lot, so I thought it would make a great blog post! I know the struggle is real when trying to figure out what the hell to bring with you on this big move. 

One thing to keep in mind: you don't have to bring everything RIGHT NOW. You can bring the essentials and have other items shipped to you later. This will help you in the beginning because it can be quite difficult lugging all of your belongings around Los Angeles before you have a place to store everything.
