About the Book

The book that dares to ask the question most performers are already thinking.

Do you ever worry that one day the showbiz dream you have worked so hard for will fade? Are you secretly wondering what life away from the stage and bright lights could look like?

What if stepping away from the applause was not your final curtain call, but the beginning of your most successful spotlight yet?

Spotlight on Success is a bold, heartfelt collection of stories from industry professionals shining a light on what is possible when you dare to pivot, evolve, and redefine success on the other side of the stage door. Raw, honest and full of hope, this is the book for anyone at a crossroads, dreaming of something more, or simply seeking the reassurance that what comes next can be just as wonderful, vibrant and meaningful.

Your talent, tenacity and creativity are not confined to just one spotlight.

Your next act awaits.

“Success isn’t where you’ve been. It’s where your purpose leads you next.”

When I put together the first edition of Spotlight on Success, I had a feeling it would resonate. But the response genuinely blew me away, and I knew pretty quickly that we were not done yet.

This second edition feels even more special to me because it is bigger, bolder and this time around the book will be available in bookstores as well as on Amazon. That felt like a moment worth celebrating properly.

The eighteen of us who have poured our stories into these pages come from all corners of the industry. Different journeys, different pivots, different definitions of success. But the thread running through every single chapter is the same: the creative skills, the resilience, the tenacity we built on stage are not left at the stage door when we walk away. They come with us. They fuel everything that comes next.

I am so proud of this book and the community it has brought together. I hope it gives you exactly what you need, whether that is permission, perspective, a good cry, or a proper nudge in the direction of your next big dream.

Big love, Nicole x

My Journey, Their Spotlight

From my earliest memories, performing has always been the biggest part of my life. I’ve made lifelong friends in theatre, found a safe space to grieve and explored ideas and new projects in front and behind the curtain.

My chapter explores my journey through the industry on land and at sea and all the pivotal moments that bought me to where I am today; a proud mum, a business owner, a powerhouse entrepreneur and a freelance choreographer; and how I feel now watching the next generation get their standing ovation.

What's Inside

Eighteen stories. Eighteen spotlights. One extraordinary collection.

The Second Edition of Spotlight on Success brings together eighteen industry professionals who have all dared to ask the question: what comes next? From performers who pivoted to entrepreneurs, creatives who built empires from a single idea, and industry insiders who redefined what success looks like for them personally, this collection is as diverse as the industry it celebrates.

Every chapter is different. Every story is real. And every single one of them might just be the nudge you have been waiting for.

New in the 2nd Edition

Bigger, bolder and available in bookstores for the very first time. Four brand new chapters from four incredible new voices, plus the original stories that made the first edition resonate so deeply.
