That’s right!
What if I told you that what you have NOW is what you need to begin your financial journey?
You’re an actor or a dancer. You’ve flown in the face of good reasoning and chose a career in the arts. You knew that if you were going to make it in this business, it would take hustle.
That hustle plays out in two different qualities: discipline and patience.
I’m here to tell you these are the SAME two qualities you need to reach your own version of financial success.
1. Discipline
The pursuit of acting, dancing or singing requires that the artist show up daily to create.
You know this.
You show up daily to maintain your muscles, stretch your vocal range, or to tap into your character more naturally.
The saying goes “If I don’t practice for a day, I know it. If I don’t practice for two days, the critics know it. And if I don’t practice for three days, the public knows it." (Louis Armstrong)
Consistency and habits are the keys to not just success in your career, but also your FINANCIAL success. Your ability to stay disciplined in your art form, meaning showing up every day to work, is something you’ve already harnessed to get you this far.
2. Patience
When you signed up for a life in show business you weren’t expecting your big break right away.
…at least I hope you weren’t. Otherwise, I have some other bad news.
The truth is, those actors, dancers or singers you admire who make their living doing this are in it for the long haul.
Some will pursue auditions and agents for a year or a season in a big pond, get disappointed after little or no feedback and give it up.
That guarantees failure.
The rest of us successful artists, chip away, week after week, year after year, determined to make our livings performing. If that’s you, you’re also well on your way to financial success.
News stories will spin a wealthy or successful person’s life as if they got rich and famous overnight. But the secret is, it’s the small habits done consistently over time that add up to something much greater in the future.
SO…if you’re questioning whether you’ll ever be able to manage your money, i.e. pay off your debt, pay your rent or just afford new headshots, then the answer is yes!
My question to you is, can you start treating your money like your art form?
