Balancing careers as an artist and financial advisor can seem like a daunting task, but Lilac Cana has managed to excel in both fields. As an accomplished opera singer and a dedicated financial advisor at Experior Financial Group, Lilac’s unique journey offers valuable insights for anyone striving to balance multiple passions.
A Journey From Opera to Finance
Lilac Cana began her career in music, graduating from opera school and further honing her craft in Europe. With over four and a half years at the Canadian Opera Company and a successful track record of solo gigs and international tours, Lilac has made a significant mark in the world of opera. However, her transition into financial advising was influenced by economic challenges and her father’s business background.
Integrating Passions: Insights from Lilac Cana
Lilac initially struggled with the balance between her musical and financial careers. It was through mindset training and mentoring that she learned to apply a heartfelt approach to both. “By focusing on the ‘why’ in my work, such as supporting family and charitable causes, I found greater fulfillment,” Lilac explains.
Overcoming Self-Sabotage
One common obstacle Lilac faced was the tendency to self-sabotage. Host Michael Santonato notes that many people believe they can only excel in one domain. Lilac emphasizes the importance of overcoming ego and not clinging to past accomplishments. Applying her learning ability to financial services allowed her to develop a new domain of success.
Advice for Creative Professionals
Lilac encourages artists to remain open to other opportunities if their art does not financially sustain them. By dedicating at least two years to establishing a financial career, artists can achieve the stability needed to return to their art without financial pressure. Blending creative success with a new career path can lead to a more stable and fulfilling life.
The Role of Financial Advisors
Financial advisors, like Lilac, offer essential educational services and personal support that can transform lives. Through continuous learning and relationship-building, Lilac finds satisfaction in helping clients navigate their financial challenges with empathy and understanding.
