Starting to work on something new can sometimes feel like the first hour of a cross-country trip. In a car. With no radio. Alone.
But think about it. "Starting" means just that - the beginning of something. You have probably started many things in life - school, lessons of some type, relationships, and much more. And when you look back at those beginnings, you probably never thought the experience would lead to where it did.
Things can change in the blink of an eye. Just because something starts badly does not mean it will end that way. And the opposite is certainly true as well - a good beginning does not guarantee a successful conclusion (case in point - the OSU Football team in the last two National Championship games).
However, a couple of famous sayings about life seem to remain true. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." And, "Success is that old ABC - ability, breaks and courage."
The key to success in the long term is a series of small steps which get you closer to your ultimate goal. With each new experience, you will learn or see or do something unique. And you never know who you will meet along the way.
Let's take a look at how some fairly recognizable names got their start.
Johnny Depp fronted a KISS tribute band, eventually opening for national acts.
Teri Hatcher started as a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers before landing a "big break" as a mermaid on The Love Boat.
Quentin Tarantino was an usher in an adult movie theater (talk about a dirty job).
Jennifer Lopez danced in several rap videos on MTV, was a back-up dancer for New Kids on the Block, and then snagged one of the "Fly Girl" positions on In Living Color (after being rejected twice).
None of the above jobs sound like they paid a whole lot of money. And they certainly didn't make the person an overnight celebrity. But each experience raised the individual's visibility in the world of entertainment. They were exposed to new people in the industry and probably made good connections.
Learning how to do something well takes practice - and time. With hard work, a maybe a little bit of luck, each and every experience will lead to something a little bit better.
Take chances with opportunities that will teach you something new, or introduce you to new people, or provide you with additional experience. You never know what might happen.
