Actors must also develop a secondary income stream that they have total control over, in addition to solid financial management (month-to-month budgeting, a savings plan, investing in retirement as soon as possible, spending less than you make, and creating an emergency fund).
Essentially, you’ll need secure secondary employment in which you have control over the following components, in addition to operating a successful acting career:
Workplace
When and how much you work is up to you (can take on more or fewer hours as needed)
What is the amount of money that you are able to bring in?
Something that interests you
One or two actors of these needs are common in many occupations, but just a small percentage of them have all four. When it comes to gig work that is extremely flexible, you usually accept whatever shifts are available…feast or famine. Even if you have a great part-time remote job, you are still at the whim of your boss, actors who will ultimately decide when and how much you work.
To put it another way, we’ll have to start from fresh with a secondary company endeavour. One in which we are completely in charge of how and why we operate. Where we are actually in charge. Don’t get me wrong: you’ll still need to put in some effort. You could be putting in full-time hours at first, especially if you’re just getting started. Remember, though, that from the start, you will have total discretion over how much and when you work.
