In this video, I talk about the real cure for imposter syndrome and why it's not confidence. If you're a creative who still feels like a fraud even though you're good at what you do, this is why that feeling won't leave you alone and what actually makes it irrelevant. I show you how to build visible proof, create your own access to the people who can hire you, and stop waiting around to be discovered. You'll learn how to organize workshops with industry experts, get paid while you learn from people already doing what you want to do, and flip the power dynamic so you're not begging anymore. This is for actors, writers, artists, makers, and anyone trying to break into creative work without living in LA or New York. I share real examples of creatives who built their way in from outside the big hubs, practical steps you can take right now, and how the Escape Route Playbook walks you through the whole process of building credibility and visibility on your own terms.#ActBold #CreativeCareer #TheCuratorAcademy Resources & Links:Escape Route Playbook (free): https://www.actboldtraining.com/escape-route-playbookWebsite: https://www.actboldtraining.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annealexandersieder/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/act_bold/

Most creatives unknowingly set themselves up for failure before they ever get traction. 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
