GRIND: How To Turn Your Coffee Break Into Your Big Break
In a world where it seems that everyone is looking to become the next American Idol, America’s Next Top Model, or the next Apprentice, there are very few how-to blueprints in the marketplace.
While talent is a huge determining factor in a person’s success – there are many other elements that separate the stars from the wannabes.
HOW TO TURN YOUR COFFEE BREAK INTO YOUR BIG BREAK by CJ Miller delivers that blueprint with honesty, humor, and quite a bit of insight. This is CJ Miller’s journey of how he put himself on the track to reach the stars and along the way learned some life lessons that could help anyone in any field.
The story begins with CJ’s frustrations at yet another audition. Out of that frustration came a plan. If success wasn’t coming to him, he was going out to find it. He decided to start working at a well-known coffee house. Once inside the chain, he secured a transfer to a Hollywood coffee house where he know producers, directors, casting agents, and other power players came to get their morning joe.
CJ knew that with his good looks, charm and personality, all he needed was face time to make his dream come true; what better place than where these Hollywood star-makers would be relaxed and used to seeing him every day. Except, there’s more here than how to make it in the entertainment field; this is also a story of overcoming adversity, fighting through disappointment and failure, and still pursuing your goals because as CJ points out, even if you shoot for the stars and miss, you can still hit the moon.
