Interesting advise you have! :) I agree, I think with beginning a story it's not as much the action, but it's about getting to know a character as fast as possible, so that you actually care about whatever stakes there are. Just like how in a movie we don't care if the whole world is going to explode, but we do care if George's beloved dog we've been getting to know is threatened.
