Basically, what you need, in addition to running a solid business as an actor, is a secure secondary job, in which you have control over the following elements:
- Where you work (remote and therefore mobile)
- How much and when you work (can take on more or less hours as needed)
- How much money you bring in (see above)
- Something of interest to you (if you’re going to be building another business, it might as well be something you care about!)
