Question of the Week: How Do You Define Yourself?


As the school year starts for kids all over the Northern Hemisphere, I think back to how we all define ourselves:

In High School & College were you:
The geek, jock, egghead, band member, cheerleader, yearbook editor, or goth?

At home are you the:
Spouse, oldest/middle/youngest child, parent, grandparent, or in-law?

As a voice talent are you:
The voice talent, engineer and producer?

As the owner of your own business are you:
Chief cook & bottle washer?

Fine.

But, how do your clients define you?
As: my voice of choice, a great person to work with, someone who delivers clean files just the way I want them on time and on budget? Someone who is fun to work with?
They should!

We were all defined somehow in school. – We outgrew it
We’re all defined somehow at home – We were born or married into that

BUT when it comes to being defined by your work and by your clients – THAT is YOUR choice.
What’s the definition of YOU in this business? And is it what you want it to be?

Go define yourself & grow your business!
