How many times have you gotten a strange look when you told someone you want to be an actor? Or heard the dreaded, "You better have a backup plan"? I know I have, and I’ve definitely seen that look of doubt—like they’re thinking, “You’re not going to make it.”

In this episode of Shannon The Slayer, we’re flipping the script on how we think about our careers. Instead of saying, “I’m just an actor,” let’s embrace the mindset of “I run my own acting business.” When we start viewing our work as a business, everything changes for the better.

Every profession takes time to master, and acting is no different. The key distinction is that there’s no clear path or degree to follow, and we’re automatically part of the entertainment industry. Join me as we explore this shift in perspective and unlock the potential of your acting career!

But there are things that we can do in order to be as ready as we can. Look for the signs, do what you can in the moment, and remember that THIS STORM WILL PASS.

Welcome to another episode of Shannon The Slayer, where we delve into the art of personal and professional growth as actors. In today’s episode, we’re tackling a crucial topic that affects everyone, yet is often overlooked: managing and preserving your energy. We’re exploring the concept of "leaking energy" and how to prevent it, so you can maximize your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being.

Energy leakage refers to the loss of personal energy due to various factors, such as stress, negative influences, and inefficiencies in your daily routines. We’ll explore some scenarios that could cause leaks in your energy, and Shannon will also share on of her experiences from the past that was a major energy leakage. So hopefully you will be able to start noticing where you are letting your energy leak, so you can take it back one step at a time.

Managing your energy is essential for achieving peak performance, maintaining a positive outlook, and leading a balanced life, especially as a performer. By addressing and preventing energy leaks, you can focus your energy where you want to direct it, allowing you to get more done in a positive manner.

There are no magical keys in this world that will help unlock your success as an entertainer. We hold a lot of keys in everyday life. but a lot of the time we find keys and have no clue what they open, or just toss them to the side when we no longer need them anymore.

But what if I were to tell you that those keys - even the ones you have no clue what it opens are valuable! They unlock something, but it isn't the key to your success. It's something deeper than that.

Every "key" (person) you meet has the potential to help you grow and get to the next level in your career. But here's the catch! You can't expect anything out of that key. For it doesn't have the power to get you to the next phase of your acting career.

The Key to Success, IS YOU. It is always YOU!

Tune into today's episode of Shannon The Slayer, where we are exploring how to keep in touch with people and why you should always reach out, say hello, see how other people are doing on your "keychain", but never expect anything in return.

Red Flags. Sometimes we don't see them, but I am here to remind you of how important it is to look out for them and to protect yourself, especially as an entertainer.

There are bad people out there. I hate to say it, but I watch too much crime shows to understand that this is FACT! I also know that you dream of being a thriving artist so badly, that you can get caught up in the stars and won't see the Red Flags that are waving in front of you when you get an email that says "Booked "it", or someone promises you fame and fortune.

I get it and trust me when I say that I know how you feel. But as I get older and wiser, I can say with certainty that this world is scary and you need to take precautions, do your research and protect yourself in every way possible!

If you don't know, I was hit on by my Doctor in the beginning of the year (and that was a professional setting). Although this has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, it made me think back on my past and how I could have been in situations where I might have been hurt if I didn't bring a friend with me to every project I was a part of.

Which is why I feel like it is so important to talk about taking precautions and protecting yourself as an entertainer. Tune into this episode as we take a journey that will hopefully help you start to think about why you should take every precaution to ensure your safety at all times.

Because you ARE IMPORTANT and you have a destiny to fulfil! There will be other projects out there and you can say no. Look for the red flags, trust your gut and know that you are way more important than any project out there.

You have been stuck for far too long my friend. But why? What's holding you back from moving forward? What are you holding onto that is making you feel heavy and burdened somehow? Do you know? Maybe you feel like something is holding you down, but you can't quite pinpoint it...

Do you know that even something as simple as your hair can tie into why you feel stuck and like you're getting nowhere in your journey?

If you feel stuck, you're not alone my friend. Take it from me. I have had long hair ever since I can remember. I love it and am grateful for the long hair, but at times it can feel heavy and weighs me down from getting things done. In fact, it has been weighing me down way longer than it should have...

Let's go on this journey together of figuring out what could be making us feel tied down and how we can fix it so we can charge forward in life with a feeling of renewed energy and sense of being!
