Nicole Roberts Jones -- life coach and author of "Define Your Own Way" -- provides a series of actionable steps to get anyone out of a career rut. In response to a viewer's question about getting motivated to start working effectively toward a dream career in acting, Nicole gave some pointed advice.
Here are some of her valuable insights into what works to focus and motivate efforts to make a career move.

1. You must be clear on what you really want. If you really want to act, go for it. If you are unsure of your career choice, start by writing down what you love to do -- or ask your closest friends to tell you the three greatest skills and passions they see in you -- and then explore available jobs that require those strengths and involve what you love.

2. You need a day job that will fuel your dream, while you are in the process of building it. Often, people working toward a dream will get interim jobs with fluctuating schedules -- such as concierge or waiter -- so that they can trade shifts or otherwise work their "day job" schedule around classes or opportunities such as auditions.
