How was your voiceover year?
In this episode of the VO Boss Podcast, host Anne Ganguzza sits down with the Voiceover Strategist Tom Dheere to discuss ways to make an end-of-year business assessment. They delve into the importance of reflecting on your "why" – your motivations for pursuing a voiceover career. Tom emphasizes that if the "feels" aren't there, it's crucial to re-evaluate your approach.
Tom's Top Takeaways
Reflect on your "why":Â Start by assessing your motivations. Are you still passionate about voiceover? Does it still bring you joy?
Set specific goals:Â Vague goals lead to vague results. Define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for the upcoming year.
Track your progress:Â Utilize Tom's free downloadable cash flow sheet to track income, expenses, job types, and how you obtained each booking (e.g., auditions, direct bookings, online casting sites).
Analyze your data:Â Examine your data to identify trends, areas for improvement, and the most effective marketing strategies.
Don't fear the spreadsheet:Â While it may seem daunting, tracking your progress is essential for growth. Tom's spreadsheet simplifies the process and provides valuable insights.
Invest in yourself:Â Consider working with a business coach or mentor like Tom Deere to stay accountable and receive personalized guidance.
