Everyday VOpreneur with Marc Scott

Why You Can't Forget the Old While in Pursuit of the New - Episode 051

It's the shiny new toy syndrome. You get a new toy, and you love it and you give all your attention to it. Meanwhile, the old toys you've had for years fall by the wayside. Forgotten and replaced by the new.
Maybe this has happened in your life. Maybe you're having childhood flashbacks as you read this, thinking of a Christmas or birthday when the old favorite toys got replaced.
My question to you today is... has it ever happened in your voice over business? Have you done it and not even realized it! After you're done listening to this episode, you may have some work to do.

A Voice Over Rates Parable Podcast - Episode 050

I know, I know, I know... really... another podcast about voice over rates? Yup! That's exactly what I'm talking about in this episode.
This time around I'm approaching it from a slightly different perspective. A parable approach, to try and get you thinking about this entire debate from a different point of view. All the while, still empowering you to think like a business owner. To see yourself as a VOpreneur and to NEVER under value your worth as a professional voice actor.

The Episode That Will Change Your Life - Episode 049

Given the title of this episode I'm guessing you're one of two things. Incredibly curious, or skeptically doubtful. Either way, if you listen to this episode all the way to the end, I'm counting it a win for you because I'm confident the content of this episode can, quite literally, change your life.
It did it for me. 
In the episode I share the story of a book that started me on a journey in 2010 that has changed my life for better every day since.

What is Your Exit Strategy? - Episode 048

My exit strategy was kind of simple... I got downsized from my day job. That kind of forced my hand as far as transitioning from full-time day job to full-time voice over job. However, not everybody needs to go about it in quite as extreme of fashion as I did! :)
In this weeks episode I talk about making that transition from full-time employee to full-time voice actor and some of the things you're going to want to consider before you make your decision.

Why You Need To Always Follow Up - Episode 047

Reading through the pages of a book written in 1880 by a very successful businessman, was a reminder to me of why it's absolutely essential to have a follow-up strategy for your voice over leads, prospects and clients. If you don't, you're losing money period.
Don't believe me? In this episode, I share the wise words from the book I was reading and show how this basic business principle still stands true, even after 140 years!!

How to Get Paid On Time Every Time - Episode 046

We love being in the booth. We don't love being bookkeepers and accountants. When you're a VOpreneur, though, you've got to learn how to do it all.

Why You Can't Compromise on Your Goals - Episode 045

Nobody can eat just one cookie... nobody who's being honest, anyway. One cookie ALWAYS leads two. Sometimes three. Sometimes, in the case of a certain barbecue loving, voice acting Canadian who shall remain nameless... six or eight. The point is, once you start down a slippery slope... you slide!
It's no different with the goals you've set for yourself and your business. If you don't stick to them with the utmost commitment, if you allow yourself one slip up, it'll often lead to two and three and so on. Before long, you've compromised on your goals.
That's a dangerous place to be and in this weeks episode, I'll explain why!

5 Things to Work on Between Christmas and New Year's - Episode 043

If your business slows down between Christmas and New Year's, you're not alone. But just because the voice over opportunities may be a bit limited doesn't mean there isn't still plenty of work to do. Quite the contrary, in fact. There's still PLENTY of work to be done.
In this episode I shared some of the things I think you need to prioritize in the coming weeks so you can finish 2019 strong and carry that momentum forward into 2020.

Why You're Not Marketing - Episode 042

You're not marketing. Or maybe you are, but not as much as you should. Do you know why? I bet I do, and I reveal the reason in this weeks episode which may feel like a smack in the face for some listeners. It's an important episode though!
We all have a lot to do on a given day, but the reality is, not all of it's important. Not all of it's priority. But to feel productive, sometimes we lose ourselves in busy work and overlook or procrastinate on the important work. Hopefully not any longer after this episode!
