“I Don’t Live in the Right Location” — The Excuse That Doesn’t Work Anymore

 By Alycia Kaback | Co-Founder of VIP Ignite Live and Truth Mgmt

Let me guess.
You’ve dreamed about being a model or an actor.
You’ve seen the red carpets, the magazine covers, the Netflix shows…

But then, that voice whispers:

“Yeah, but I don’t live in LA or New York.”
“I’m in a small town — nothing happens here.”
“It’s just not realistic where I am.”

I’ve heard it thousands of times.

And every single time, I smile — because I know what you don’t.

That excuse expired a long time ago.

💡 1. The Myth of “The Right Location”

Once upon a time, you had to live near a big city to make it in entertainment.
That was when auditions happened in person and agencies discovered you at coffee shops.

But that world doesn’t exist anymore.

Today, the industry is borderless.
Your phone is your stage.
Your laptop is your launchpad.

Tony Robbins says,

“It’s not the lack of resources that keeps you stuck — it’s the lack of resourcefulness.”

You don’t need to live in the right place.
You need to think in the right direction.

⚙ 2. Hormozi Logic: “If You Can Sell From Anywhere, You Can Succeed From Anywhere”

Alex Hormozi built multimillion-dollar businesses without being in Silicon Valley.

He says,

“The internet eliminated geography as an advantage. Now, advantage belongs to whoever executes.”

The same is true in entertainment.

Casting directors don’t care where you live.
They care whether you can deliver.

Every audition can be recorded.
Every meeting can happen on Zoom.
Every opportunity can be submitted digitally.

At VIP Ignite, we’ve built an entire ecosystem around location freedom.
You can train, network, audition, and grow your career — from anywhere in the world.

🚀 3. The Industry Has Gone Global — And So Have We

We’ve watched talent from the most unexpected places take off:

• A mother of two from Oklahoma booked a national Walmart commercial.
• A student from South Carolina got cast in an independent film shooting in Atlanta.
• A military veteran from Utah signed with a New York agency — without ever stepping foot in New York.

These people didn’t move.
They moved differently.

They didn’t wait for opportunity to come to their city — they built it through VIP Ignite’s global platform.

💬 4. Mireya’s Story: From Small Town to Global Campaigns

When Mireya O. first found VIP Ignite, she said,

“I live in a tiny town. There’s no way I can do this.”

She didn’t move to LA. She didn’t move to New York.
She just said yes.

Now, she’s been featured in NFL, Starbucks, Yoplait International, and Apple/Verizon campaigns.

When people ask how she did it, she says:

“I stopped worrying about my zip code and started building my mindset.”

Your dream doesn’t care about your address.
It cares about your effort.

🧠 5. The Tony Robbins Reframe: “Change Your State, Change Your Story”

Tony teaches that if you want to change your life, you have to change your state first — not your location.

Because let’s be honest:

If you move to LA with the same fears and doubts, you’ll just have better weather while staying stuck.

What changes everything isn’t the skyline — it’s your psychology.

When you operate with clarity, confidence, and strategy, the world finds you.

That’s what VIP Ignite teaches:

We don’t just move you across states — we move you across beliefs.

🌍 6. The Hormozi Truth: Leverage Beats Location

Alex Hormozi says,

“Leverage makes small things big.”

In entertainment, leverage looks like this:

🎬 Professional training that builds credibility.
🎤 Headshots, reels, and branding that travel with you.
💼 Access to casting platforms and agents that review submissions globally.

That’s what we give you.

Your leverage — not your location — is what opens doors.

You don’t need to be near opportunity.
You need to become the kind of person opportunity can find.

💎 7. Truth Mgmt and VIP Ignite: Building Bridges, Not Walls

When we started Truth Mgmt, our mission was to connect exceptional people — wherever they live — to real, professional opportunities.

We’ve partnered with casting directors and agencies in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Atlanta, London, Toronto, and beyond.

Our network is global — but our reach is personal.

That means you can live anywhere and still be trained, seen, and represented like a professional.

The old model said, “Move to the city.”
The new model says, “Move with purpose.”

💬 8. Real Stories That Prove Location Doesn’t Matter

Scott E., a former accountant from Pennsylvania, joined VIP Ignite because he wanted to try something new.
He didn’t move. He trained online.
Then, he got cast in Babylon alongside Brad Pitt.

Christine H., who rebuilt her life in the Pacific Northwest, became an international speaker and wellness center founder through connections made inside VIP Ignite.

Jackson C., a former NFL player from Mississippi, became a motivational speaker and brand ambassador — reaching millions, not because of where he lived, but because of how he showed up.

💥 9. “But Alycia, There’s Nothing Going On in My City…”

Good.
Then you won’t be distracted.

Tony Robbins says,

“Your environment is stronger than your willpower — until you change your environment.”

Sometimes the best thing that can happen to you is not being surrounded by noise.

Your small town can be your training ground.
It’s where you build focus, resilience, and skill — so when opportunity calls, you’re ready.

At VIP Ignite, we don’t tell people to leave their lives behind.
We teach them how to expand them.

🌱 10. The Hormozi Equation: Attention = Value × Access

Here’s the formula Alex Hormozi would use for this belief:

Attention = (Value You Bring) × (Access You Build)

Your value comes from preparation, not population.
Your access comes from networks like VIP Ignite that put you in front of decision-makers.

So instead of asking, “Is my city big enough?”
Ask, “Is my mindset bold enough?”

💬 11. What Our Talent Say

Erika W., a recurring guest star on STARZ’s Raising Kanan, said:

“I lived hours from any big city. But VIP Ignite brought the industry to me.”

Brandon H., who walks New York Fashion Week, said:

“I didn’t live in the fashion capital. I trained like I did — and that’s why I’m there now.”

Deneen White, our President of Talent Services, says:

“If you can get Wi-Fi, you can get seen. Period.”

We’ve proven it thousands of times: location is logistics — not limitation.

⚙ 12. What You Actually Need (That Has Nothing to Do with Where You Live)

You don’t need a city. You need:

✅ A professional portfolio
✅ A consistent mindset
✅ A strong network
✅ A proven system

And that’s exactly what we give you.

Our programs and BootCamps were built to remove every obstacle between you and your dream — including your zip code.

💥 13. Tony Robbins Reframe: “Where You Are Is Perfect”

Tony Robbins says,

“Everything happens for you, not to you.”

You’re where you are for a reason.

That quiet town? It’s where you’re supposed to prepare.
That city that feels small? It’s giving you space to grow.

You’re not behind. You’re being positioned.

And when you’re ready, the right doors — digital, global, and real — will open.

💎 14. What the Industry Looks Like Now

Let’s be clear:

The future of entertainment isn’t centered in one city.

Atlanta is booming with film studios.
Miami is exploding with fashion, fitness, and lifestyle brands.
Vancouver and Toronto are leading in streaming production.
New Mexico is now a major film hub.
And remote casting is here to stay.

This is the most geographically accessible time in history to start a career.

The question isn’t “Where are you?”
It’s “Are you ready?”

🧭 15. Hormozi’s Final Truth: “Movement Beats Momentum Every Time”

People love to say they’re waiting for the “right time.”
But Alex Hormozi reminds us:

“You don’t wait for momentum. You create it by moving.”

You don’t need to move to LA.
You need to move your mindset.

Every success story starts with one person who decided that where they live doesn’t define where they’ll go.

💫 16. A Final Word from Alycia

I built VIP Ignite so that people who weren’t born into opportunity could build it for themselves.

It doesn’t matter if you live in Los Angeles or a town with one stoplight.
If you have drive, discipline, and a dream — you belong here.

The only “wrong location” is the one you stay in mentally.

You’re not too far away.
You’re one decision away.
