We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Trenton Wayne a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Trenton, great to have you with us today and excited to have you share your wisdom with our readers. Over the years, after speaking with countless do-ers, makers, builders, entrepreneurs, artists and more we’ve noticed that the ability to take risks is central to almost all stories of triumph and so we’re really interested in hearing about your journey with risk and how you developed your risk-taking ability.
By leaping into the unknown and taking calculated risks. I’m always one to make a pros/cons list to see if anything is worth the investment. The biggest risks I’ve taken forced me to get out of my comfort zone & start learning quickly. It’s not easy at first, nothing ever is, but that’s the process of growth and evolution.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Along with my work in entertainment as an actor, dancer, & model, I am also the creator of an astrology brand, Trenton Wayne Astrology, in which I conduct independent astrological research in order to run case studies & collect statistics. At first, I started my brand in May 2020 to help others comprehend astrology. However, as my brand grew, I began delving into content creation, which allowed me to connect with tens of thousands of people across the world.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Perseverance is key. Whenever starting on a new business endeavour, it’s nearly impossible to avoid obstacles. How you approach obstacles will set you apart from others. Always keep your eye on the prize, no matter how difficult the task at hand is. Commitment to your craft is also important. There are days that go by well and days that don’t. However, continuing to show up through to the very end and achieving your accomplishments is the biggest celebration of them all. The most important, in my opinion, would be consistency. Over the course of my life, I’ve had a very interesting relationship with consistency due to my perfectionism tendencies. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that as long as you are taking action, despite how big or how small the action is, you are making appropriate progress. You get out what you put in.
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
Two things: rest and meditate. Resting is an important factor in achieving success. I used to run myself dry constantly because of the amount of energy I was excreting. A proper rest allows you to recharge, reset, and reevaluate so that you are clear-minded and able to tackle anything. It’s also key to take time to meditate. Quieting the mind, even for just five minutes, allows for increased focus, clarity, and perspective that one wouldn’t receive if they’re always on the go.
