Dreams are a funny thing. Some people have big dreams, some people have little dreams, and some people don't know what the hell to dream. And now I'm experiencing a new phenomenon: dreams changing.

TELL ME you still watch Grey's Anatomy. Um, sorry, just me? I know, I know, it's like so 2005. I'll admit, the stories are a bit old hat now in 2015, but some of the lines are still complete brilliance. Like,

"There is no easy in glory."

I know, mind blowing. Anyway, in this past week's episode, there was a young patient who was a golf extraordinaire. Golf was her dream, and she was achieving it like a boss. Then, in true TV Drama fashion, she injures herself and can't play golf again. The poor girl is devastated that her dream has been completely killed.

"I can't afford it."

Ever notice how we play the victim? We blame our lack of success on any factor but ourselves.

"I want to participate in that program, but I just can't afford it."

"I wanted to go out for that job, but I just couldn't find a ride to get there. "

"I wanted to attend that class, but my favorite TV show was on at that time."

Have you ever said any of those things? I know I have.

But I want to tell you what I've learned on my journey to finding incredible success making it in LA: Those "victims" are not the ones who make it.

We all have these big dreams, but you see, we forget that to achieve something so big, we must do something so big to get there.

Pursuing your dreams is hard work. Sometimes it feels like a never-ending journey with no light at the end of the tunnel. You know you want it, but does it really have to take this long to get it? 

Do you ever feel this way? I know I do. I get overwhelmed pretty easily, by the BIG, HUGE dream that I'm trying to accomplish. 

But a few years ago, I started implementing a new tool that I learned, and things really began to happen for me. Like, super fast. It was pretty amazing. I've been using the tool for years, and then recently I decided to switch things up and try it a little differently. 

I wanted to share both of these tools with you, because they have helped me SO MUCH! I know they can do wonders for you as well, and expedite your dreams. 

Ok, ready? YEAH you are!

Oh. My. Gosh. It is so magically warm and beautiful right now in LA. Yes, on January 8th. This week, I'm spending most of my time at my office in Santa Monica, where it is usually colder than the rest of LA. But today I took a stroll outside, wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I think my arms may have even gotten a little sunburn! I know, #LAproblems. 

Everyone knows the weather in LA is pretty much agreeable every single day. (If you aren't here yet, for fun, you should add LA to your weather app on your phone. Those little suns just never go away!) While some people may find the weather here boring, I want to tell you why the awesome weather here is actually a big deal.

I know, I know, I am a total FREAK when it comes to Friends. I just can't help it. It's like a disease that I'll be stuck with for life. So just bear with me, k? I mean, if Friends didn't apply to everyday life SO MUCH, I would shut up more....

Every year, a myriad of people move to Los Angeles to pursue a dream. Whether that dream is to be a successful actor, live a life by the water, become the next Steven Spielberg (or the next, next. My cousin Benh Zeitlin is the next Spielberg!), or break into the music industry—it's a dream that can't be fulfilled anywhere else. LA is definitely a special place where dreams are coming true all the time.

You've heard me (and the rest of the world) say it over and over again: Los Angeles is all about who-you-know. So, it should be obvious how important networking is. But let's break this down. What really is "networking"? Going to a happy hour and handing someone your business card? That's certainly part of it. But like, a tiny baby part.
