An Idea To Move You

When we're resisting The Thing We Know We Should Do But Don't Want To, in the vast majority of cases, The Thing is way scarier or worse in our heads than it is when we actually do it.

I've caught myself spending days avoiding a task that took 5 minutes or less in reality.

Start noticing this gap in your own life and business.

A Thought to Touch You*

I had a great chat with my friend and colleague George Washington III this morning. George is also the leader of World Voices (WoVo). He and I set aside time to chat as friends every few months and today was the day.

George reminded me today how much of our industry is based on luck. Ours, voice acting specifically, is a subjective art, so luck is always a factor.

But if you're relying entirely on auditions and referrals, you're especially beholden to luck. The trick is to minimize its influence by building marketing and business systems that generate repeatable and more predictable outcomes.

A Quote to Inspire You

As we head into the last full weekend in January, if you haven't yet watched our video or listened to the podcast episode on How To Run Your VO Business: A Strategic Framework, it's a must-see/listen.

In this video, learn the proven business framework top voice talent use to escape burnout and become booked solid. I expose why hustling harder keeps most talent stuck, and show you how to implement structure, strategy, and systems for real, sustainable growth.
