After nearly 40 years as a professional creative and coaching hundreds of others, I discovered six fatal traps that guarantee stalled careers. These traps cost you time, money, and confidence — but the good news is they’re completely avoidable.In this video, I’ll reveal each of these traps, why they sabotage even the most talented actors, artists, writers, and performers, and exactly what to do instead — so you can finally build a creative career that grows steadily, creates real opportunities, and actually funds itself.You’ll also hear stories from my students — like Anna, who went from paying for stunt training to getting paid while building insider connections with people who hire stunt performers, and Kelly, who broke into the Dutch comedy scene by curating her own workshops that gave her stage time, mentors, and income from day one.By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to escape the cycle of waiting, doubting, and overspending, and start using The Curator Method to build a career that compounds instead of stalls.👉 Comment “playbook” below and I’ll send you the step-by-step system.👉 And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️Find Anne:Instagram: @annealexandersiederAct Bold on Instagram: @act_boldDiscover the common career trap that might be holding you back, learn how to overcome mindset traps, and avoid self sabotage.
