Here is My Advice for Any Circus Performer Who Feels STUCK 😩Spot

You’ve worked hard on your craft—now it’s time to get seen, booked, and perform in the shows that truly light you up. But what happens when your once-thriving circus career hits a plateau? If you’re an experienced or semi-experienced performer feeling stuck, you’re not alone. Let’s fix this.

Having worked with countless circus performers from diverse backgrounds—and generating close to $1 million in revenue myself—I can confidently say it’s rarely a lack of talent that holds you back. More often, it’s not knowing how to navigate the business side of being an independent circus artist. If you’ve been successfully winging it but now need consistent results, don’t worry. I’ve got you.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Your gigs have dwindled, or the ones you land aren’t fulfilling.
  • Your career feels misaligned with your true purpose as a circus artist.
  • You lay in bed thinking: “What has changed?”

The answer is simple: You have changed. Your goals and values have shifted. You’re no longer willing to accept anything that doesn’t align with your vision. Congratulations—you’ve entered Phase 3 of your professional circus career ✨

The 3 Phases of a Circus Career:

  1. Career Test Phase: As a beginner, you’re eager to perform anywhere, transitioning from training to career.
  2. Career Growth Phase: You’re maintaining what works, seeking better opportunities, and working hard to fill your calendar.
  3. Scale Phase: You’re scaling your career with big life goals in mind, seeking more time, better opportunities, and higher impact.

Your Phase 3 Roadmap:

  1. Acknowledge Your New Era: Recognize you’ve outgrown Phase 2 strategies.
  2. Clarify Your New Goals: Write down your ultimate career and life goals. Studies show that people who write their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them!
  3. Define Your Core Values: Values act as your compass, ensuring your actions align with what truly matters.

If this feels overwhelming, don’t worry—I’ll break it all down in this video.

I’ll share personal stories, real-life examples, and the specific strategies that helped me thrive in Phase 3. 👉 Watch the video now.
