Most 30 somethings and older will remember the hey days of the American sit com series “Friends” with the inspired theme song “I’ll be there for you” starring Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc. Here is an inspirational success story you may not be so familiar with.
Matt LeBlanc who played “Joey” started his career in a bunch of well known commercials in the 80’s. These included Levi, Coca Cola and Heinz. He then landed a few TV shows from 1988 to 1991. Sadly they were all cut mid season or at the end of the season with no success in sight.
Matt LeBlanc even made a few music video’s. One with Jon Bon Jovi and another with Alanis Morissette in which he played her boyfriend.
What you don’t see on TV is a dime a dozen want to be actors who are all pursuing the “lucky break” in a cut throat, highly competitive industry. The “lucky break” was just not in sight for Matt LeBlanc. With his last $11 in his pocket Matt LeBlanc auditioned for the part of “Joey Tribbiani” in a new series called “Friends” and his life changed forever. With his first check, the first thing he did was rush off to buy himself a hot meal. Ask yourself how far would you go for your dream? Around the corner or down to the wire? Joey went ALL THE WAY…
Success is really about knowing what you want. Ask Joey what he wanted? He will tell you with acute accuracy.
Success is about commitment. Do you think Joey thought about finding a job? I doubt it. He was committed to his craft and passion.
Success is about going over and above the norm. The norm is for normal, sadly the world is full of normal. Exceptional is rare but so are the Joey’s of this world.
Success is about creating your own luck. Joey gleaned his skills and went on and on in pursuit of his break.
Success is about never quitting. If Joey spent his last $11 to get to his next audition, he would have hitch hiked a ride to his next audition. Tough times don’t last, tough people like Joey do. They go on from failure to failure, to success, to mega stardom…
Success is the opposite of the natural human tendency; failure. More people fail themselves, their loved ones, their companies and their countries every day by settling for more of the mundane. In the absence of a success plan, the only other plan there is, is the plan to fail. Some of us fail spectacularly. We accumulate the trophies of success but we have not lived a day fulfilling our dreams.
The crew from Friends each have a unique success story to tell going onto earning $1 million each per episode in it’s concluding years. The series ran for a celebrated 10 spectacular seasons. Joey went on to star in his own comedy series simply titled “Joey”. More recently he has starred in his own production “Episodes”. LeBlanc’s performance in the series “Episodes” went on to win a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a TV comedy series.
