Make a Lucrative Living in the Creative Arts—with Wendy Wilkins

Wendy Wilkins looked successful on the outside. She was a top-producing real estate agent, making $500K a year and driving a Porsche. But she couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. That’s when she rewrote her definition of success and started following her gut to a career in the creative arts.

Today, Wendy is an award-winning actress, writer and filmmaker currently featured in the dark comedy Deany Bean Is Dead on Amazon Prime. She is also the author of Sex, Love & Cops: A Memoir of My Five Years as a Young Cop and the former #1 realtor in Australia, personally selling more than $1B in real estate. Now Wendy lives in Hollywood, California, where she is on a mission to make the world a better place by way of the creative arts.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Wendy joins Anjel to share her journey as a multidimensional creative being and explain how she has leveraged the performing arts to make a lucrative living as an ‘actorpreneur.’ She describes the skills around listening and building rapport that served her as a cop, realtor and performer, introducing us to her stepping-stone approach to making major life change. Listen in for Wendy’s insight on giving yourself permission to try things and not finish, accessing your creativity to find the thing that fulfills YOU.
