This weekend I was in Beverly Hills. I was initially there for a lunch but afterward ended up just walking around Rodeo Drive with a friend. We were trying to figure out something to do and in the midst of boredom and feeling anxious to do something fun, I came up with the bright idea to just film something– anything.

     What started off as a dumb time in Beverly Hills doing nothing, ended with some excellent and pretty hilarious footage for my Instagram with some decent character work being done. I walked away from the weekend with actual footage that I could use and that I was proud of to represent myself as a comedian, writer, and actress.

     The biggest thing I walked away with, though, this weekend, was the knowledge that the biggest thing holding me back is NOT just DOING IT. This is also something I venture to guess holds a lot of people back. Just get it done! Whatever it is, get something done to further your career. It could be a simple video, a short script, or even some character work. Whatever it is, the more motion you can put into your career, the more successful you’ll be.

     So get to work on whatever you can get to work on and don’t worry about it being small or simple or dumb or whatever else, because the bottom line is that you’re DOING it! Get your career on track and start something today. Get it done, and get it out there!
