BUSINESS Take These 5 Steps To 4th Quarter Win In Your Voice Over Business October 12, 2016  By Marc ScottVoice Actor / Coach The fourth quarter … the last opportunity to go for the win! Well, if you’re playing basketball or football, anyway. October, November, December mark the fourth quarter for 2016 in your voice over business. This is your opportunity to make all those goals and New Year’s Resolutions you made back in January a reality. Time may be running out, but it’s still possible! About this time each year, I like to reflect on my goals for the year and assess how I’m doing. Keep in mind, I’m doing this throughout the year, but I really give the remaining unchecked goals a good once over. Why? To figure out what I need to do to make them happen.
Success in your life, and in your voice over business, won’t happen by accident. It’s the result of intentional actions taken daily, working toward a common purpose - your goals! It’s easy to look at the dwindling number of days and weeks left on your calendar and determine or declare defeat. Please don’t! You’re not defeated. Do you have any idea how much you can accomplish in three months if you focus on the right things? 5 STEPS TO 4th QUARTER WIN Here are five steps you should take today to make your fourth quarter count! 1. Goals Assessment
2. Pick 3 Goals From the list of goals you’ve not yet accomplished, pick your top three. I don’t want you to give up on your other goals, but don’t overwhelm yourself if you’ve got a long list remaining. Determine the three that are most important to you and what you want to accomplish. 3. Make A Plan Break down each of the above three goals into bite-sized chunks. From those chunks, map out a plan.
Once you’ve mapped it all out and you have a plan, write it down. Make the plan clear and concise. This will give you something to review daily to keep you on track. When you know exactly what you need to do, you can prevent yourself from wasting time and effort on things that don’t align with your goals. 5. Visualize The Win Take five minutes before you get started each day to visualize the win. This may sound like some kind of new age voodoo, but it’s not. Get still. Get quiet. Focus on exactly how you’re going to feel when you accomplish that goal. Let yourself feel it as if it’s already done. As you experience those feelings, head into your day with gratitude. You’re now working toward your dreams with a plan and purpose. That’s something to be grateful for! Each day, as you do exactly what you know you need to do, you’ll feel yourself getting closer to accomplishing your goals. And as you measure that progress daily, it will affect you. You’ll start to feel a sense of accomplishment. You’ll see what had seemed unreachable coming within reach. You’ll get excited, and that will crank up your motivation. It’s the fourth quarter - time to go for the win! ------------------ ABOUT MARC Marc Scott has been involved in broadcasting and voice over since 1995, including work in radio and television, and hosting the number 1-rated Afternoon Drive show in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
