I often tell this story of how Sylvester Stallone was once so broke he had to sell his dog… then, in true Hollywood movie style, he bought his dog back when he hit the big time! Why this story hasn’t been made into a movie is beyond me! Xx

Sylvester Stallone was so poor he had to sell his dog because he couldn’t feed him.

At the time, he had $106 in the bank and his $40 car had just blown up.

Shortly after this low point, he went to watch the legendary Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner fight.

“For one brief moment, this supposed stumblebum turned out to be magnificent. And he lasted and knocked the champ down. I thought if this isn’t a metaphor for life.”

3 days later, he wrote the script for Rocky.

Writing the character of Rocky he thought of, “A man who is going to stand up to life, and take one shot, and maybe go the distance.”

The reason you and I know of the film, is because Sylvester Stallone went in for a casting, realized he wasn’t right for the job, and on the way out he mentioned to the producers he was a writer.

They told him to bring in his script later. A major win for Stallone.
There was only one problem. They loved the script, but they didn’t want Stallone to play the part of Rocky.

They offered him $360,000 for the script and Stallone thought, “You know what? You’ve got this poverty thing down. You really don’t need much to live on…I was in no way used to the good life.”

In his mind, he knew he had to sell the script, but his heart screamed something different. It was do or die.

“If I’m not in it. There’s no doubt in my mind. I’m going to be very, very upset.”
“So this is one of those things when you just roll the dice and fly by the proverbial seat of your pants and you just say, ’I’ve got to try it. I’ve just got to do it. I may be totally wrong, and I’m going to take a lot of people down with me, but I just believe in it.’”

With a budget of one million, using family and friends in the cast, handheld cameras, and only using one take to film most of the footage, the first Rocky was filmed throughout Hollywood.

But the real test came down to a screening at The Director’s Guild in front of 900 people.

“The laughs weren’t coming where they were supposed to. The fight scenes seemed to be listless...And I just sat there, as everyone left the theatre, and I couldn’t believe it. I really blew it. I was humiliated...”

“So I walked down three flights of stairs out of the theatre and everyone from the theatre were standing there, waiting for me. And they started to applaud. I mean truly applaud. I’ll never experience a moment like that again.”

Imagine if Sylvester Stallone chose to walk away when he was at his lowest. Imagine if he walked away after a bad casting call. Imagine if he took the money and walked away from Rocky.

Sometimes, no matter how hard it gets, you just have to take the shot.

You have to have the confidence to bet on yourself, you need the endurance and wit to climb over any obstacle, and the humility to listen for your moment.

You take the shot so that you never have to live with the what-ifs.

Rocky went on to win 3 Oscars and grossed over $200 million worldwide.
Oh, and he bought his dog back.

TAKE THE SHOT.

🚨Puppy training alert🚨

Training a puppy to be well-behaved is about more than obedience.

We expect more from our dogs than any generation before us. Our lives are busy, the streets and parks are full of people and dogs, and we want to take our dogs to lots of interesting places.

If we only teach our puppies the basics like sit, stay and recall without supporting our puppies to learn social skills, confidence, resilience and the ability to regulate their emotions we often end up with dogs who struggle to adapt to modern urban life.

During 1-2-1 puppy training I will teach you the basics, but we will also cover how to support your puppy to learn meaningful skills like;

Greet or ignore unfamiliar dogs
Social skills around strangers
Recall in distracting environments
Settle without constant attention at home.
Cooperate for grooming and handling.
Manners around food.

To book with me, go to my website. Link in comments and my bio.

Oh my goodness! I am so overwhelmed by the kindness & generosity of you awesome hoomans! Thank you!

It’s been a year of challenges for many of us to say the least but hopefully 2024 will be kinder with not so many curveballs.

I am so grateful and feel so appreciated. It’s truly an honour to support you all. Your pups are just the best wee bunch, all with their own personalities, which crack me up on a daily basis and I’m looking forward to more laughter with them next year.

But for now, I’m going to relax, rest & recover and maybe do some reading like Ronnie who enjoyed his treats & card! Photo credit to his hoomum!

I’ll try & stay off the naughty list by saving my present opening until Christmas morning…. Who am I kidding?! That’s definitely something I shall enjoy doing on Christmas Eve.
Thank you again! I appreciate you too! Xx 🙏❤️🐾🎅🏻🎄
