Whenever an actor approaches a role, he or she is always asking the same question about a character -- "What do I want?" Once that is answered, then the actor's problem becomes "What do I do to get what I want?".
In the film 'The Producers', Max and Leo want to become rich and escape their humdrum lives. That's what they want. What they do to get what they want is to convince a bunch of gullible old ladies to invest much more money in a Broadway play than it costs to produce. They pick a play that they believe is sure to fail and give it the worst production imaginable.
You don't need to do anything illegal to get what you want. However, you have to be willing to do what it takes to achieve your goals. You need to be a dreamer and a doer.
Go back to the piece of paper on which you wrote your objective. Underneath it, write down the actions that you will take to achieve it. Then start doing them!
