About the Book

They Laughed When I Quit My Day Job, But When They Saw Me On TV... "You'll be back..." she said, "You haven't even been in anything." My boss was right- I was leaving without having done any paid shows, but here I was, quitting my safe, secure 9-to-5 day job to be a full-time actor. What was I thinking? I'll tell you: I was thinking that it was getting too late for me, and that maybe I should just keep the job, give up the dream, and forget about entertaining anybody except for the guys at the water cooler. But then something happened... I'll tell you what that was in a minute, because I have to tell you who I am, and why it might be very important to you. My name is Bones Rodriguez, and I'm an actor, author, and entrepreneur born and raised in New York City where I live now. I do a ton of commercials, I do TV here and there, and I perform onstage at least once a week. I write books too, and so I'm a full-time artist, doing whatever I want each day. Sounds great, doesn't it? But back then, it was pretty much the opposite. I started out as a wide-eyed hopeful kid when I got out of school, full of talent, drive, and dreams of entertaining millions. I loved performing, and thought that I would be able to do it all the time, and people would pay me as they laughed and clapped when I made them feel good. Then reality hit me. I was doing shows, auditioning, sending out my headshots, and barely scraping by doing whatever work I could find to keep up with the very expensive city I live in. I was always broke, tired, and unfulfilled. Do you know what that's like? Remember when you imagined what being an actor was going to be like? You probably had the same dreams as I did. You probably had a plan for how it would turn out. Let me ask you a question... It Wasn't Supposed To Be Like This, Was It? When did our teachers tell us that we would be doing all these things that have NOTHING to do with acting? Waiting tables, Temping at an office Babysitting Catering Bartending and Begging your parents for money We were taught that we would "be discovered" if we just continued to "hone our craft" and get "good," right? But guess what- That's not true! In the real world, you need to be able to support yourself while you hone your craft, and learn how to live as an actor- to be an actor. Unless mommy and daddy are paying the bills, you'll get a job, and by the time you're done working, you're too tired to focus on your career. And as each day slips away, so does the dream. I know what I'm talking about, because I was in the same spot... Until someone said something to me: There Are Two Kinds Of Actors In The World: Those Who Bring The Check To The Table, and Those Who GET The Check In The Mail" I didn't understand exactly what he meant, and he made me Stop and Think About It. That would be great to get checks in the mail instead of doing whatever job I had to do all the time. All my friends were doing the same things, and after a while, slowly, one by one- They Were Quitting. But not me. I was hopeful, so I told myself to Learn Whatever This Guy Was Talking About. I decided to LISTEN CLOSELY... Then he asked me: "What if I could show you how to build your acting business - WITHOUT a day job?" By Now, I Have to Get It!
