Life Is Too Short

Life is too short to let the economy or any other excuse stop you from achieving your goals. The reality is that the economy is going to continue to move through its cycles and plenty of challenges will present themselves in an effort to distract you along the way of reaching your goals.

On 2010 VO Market Forecasts:

Happy New Year to everyone.

I guess this touches on the questions on VO Market trend "forecasts" seminars, as well as the few comments made on the disappointment of the new CBS News liners.

Stay away from the downer nay sayer doomsday talkers. Take it from me a longtime voiceover pro.

While we know this exists (always in every country in every year) and car dealers need to sell more cars and clothing stores are giving deep discounts, our business is advertising.
