I have some friends – a creative couple – who used to live in Hollywood. They worked in the TV business there, marketing television series, so they wound up spending a fair amount of time around celebrities.
They saw first-hand all the perks the celebrities get — like the best tables at restaurants. But it was more than that. Wherever celebrities go, people want to get close to them. They want to know them. They even want to touch them.
Can you imagine that happening to you? Probably not. But it can if you become a celebrity in your field.
Well, maybe not the touching part.
You might think that sounds crazy – that your life would remain pretty much the same way it’s always been. You might think becoming a celebrity won’t make a difference.
But you’d be wrong.
Whether you’re a movie star or an oral surgeon, becoming a celebrity really is life-changing. The reason? Being famous sets you apart, and — not to be rude but – above your competitors. Suddenly, you are the expert in your field, the go-to person who everybody else looks up to.
Hollywood celebrities know this. And all that fame and fortune stuff doesn’t happen by accident. One of the most important ways they stay on top is by working to stay in the public eye. Making movies or TV shows is only part of their job. Most celebs employ a publicist, a stylist, an agent, a manager, a personal trainer and more – basically an entire team of people – just to make sure they stay famous!
But you don’t need to go that far. I’m not saying somebody is going to come along and “anoint” you – and suddenly make you a star in your field. YOU have to be the one to get the ball rolling. YOU need to be the one to grab the spotlight. But the amazing thing is, you can. It’s right there in front of you.
So will today be the day you change your life? Will you take the initiative right now, and grab that fame for yourself?
You have the power. Now it’s time to reap the rewards.
