“ The distance between dreams and reality is called action.”
Dr. Pepper Baby: She Made $2 Million in Less Than 20 Seconds
A few weeks ago, I saw an Instagram reel that inspired millions of viewers.
Romeo Show opens with: "I have a theme song for Dr. Pepper and it goes like this... Dr. Pepper baby... it's good and nice. do do do"
I started seeing musicians making beats to her vocal.
It went viral!
Then Came the Moment
I'm watching the college football national championship game.
Miami versus Indiana.
Millions of people tuned in.
A Dr. Pepper commercial comes on.
And there it was.
Her voice. Clear as ever. Her jingle. National television.
Here's the thing...
Later I learned she was in bed when the idea hit her.
She grabbed her phone and recorded it right there.
Talk about a new meaning to putting it out in the atmosphere.
No perfection. No overthinking. Action.
The $2 Million Lesson
A few days later, the headlines came.
Dr. Pepper cut her a check for $2 million.
Can you imagine that?
Twenty seconds.
One imperfect video filmed in bed.
One decision to act on a vision instead of waiting for the "right time."
Real talk...
Les Brown always says to imagine it's your end and your dreams are sitting at a table staring at you — angry.
Why? Because you didn't take action.
Tell me this...
How many ideas are you sitting on right now?
How many million-dollar opportunities are you delaying because it's "not polished enough"?
Romeo Show didn't have a professional studio.
She didn't wait for perfect lighting or a marketing team.
She had a vision and the courage to act on it.
Think about it for a second...
You don't need permission to start.
You need to decide and act.
Why I'm Telling You This
I launched Techpreneur Profits — a Skool community to help developers build software products.
Here's what I've learned...
We face obstacles. We want to quit. Some think we need more time, more resources, more preparation.
But the truth is...
Your imperfect action today beats your perfect plan tomorrow.
My community will help others build faster and ship often.
Does that make sense?
The Challenge: Act on Your Vision This Week
This week, answer these questions:
What idea have I been sitting on because it's "not ready yet"?
What's one imperfect action I can take today?
What's my 20-second moment?
Then commit to one thing:
Publish something imperfect. Record that video. Share that idea. Launch that product.
Your dreams are waiting.
If you're a developer or creator building tech products, I'd love to have you in the community: techpreneurprofits.com
Cheers!

💡 TP’s Marketing Lesson
How To Close Clients Without Lowering Your Price

Chris then details how to build a comprehensive customer profile, differentiating between their external needs and internal desires. He introduces the TGO (Tasks, Gaps, Opportunities) framework to pinpoint customer challenges and the AIDAC (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action, Conversion) funnel to guide them through their buying journey and turn them into advocates.

PROMPT:
The camera glides through long inner galleries carved deep into the body of the rock. High vaulted ceilings rise upward and disappear into shadow, the walls uneven and organic, as if the stone itself is still breathing. Thin beams of light penetrate through natural fractures, dust drifting slowly in the air, emphasizing the depth of the space. Somewhere water drips, footsteps echo softly against the stone. The light constantly shifts—cool, then slightly warm—creating motion within stillness. The space feels both oppressive and inviting, pulling the traveler deeper into the heart of the castle.
