I had a full-time job and kept busy outside of work, but was still able to build my voice-over career and eventually leave my full-time job to make voice-over my source of income. I did this by setting goals and creating daily habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily habits are beneficial because they become a routine and create consistent movement to keep the ball rolling towards your goals. Research shows that it takes 21 days to form a habit before it becomes a routine. Daily habits help with time-management, focus, and maintaining self-discipline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you want to determine what your goals are: what are you specifically looking to achieve? Are you looking to get more voice-over work in general? Is there a specific area of voice-over you\u2019re looking to break into? Are you looking to get more auditions, or getting yourself out there more?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15003\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15003\" style=\"width: 215px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suchavoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/stil-flRm0z3MEoA-unsplash-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15003\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What will you do today?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, determine the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WHY<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> behind your goal. Are you looking to break away from a full-time job and do voice-over full-time? Are you looking for financial freedom? Is there a specific voice-over area you know that you\u2019ll enjoy and want more work in that area?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write your goals down so you know your endgame. Once you know what you\u2019re working towards, break it down into something small you can do each day that will help you get there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that your daily goals are attainable and something that you can do each and every day. Don\u2019t set your goal at working for an hour a day or doing 10 auditions a day if this isn\u2019t something you can do consistently. Set your goals small so that they are attainable and can fit into your schedule with no excuses not to do them. For example, you could plan to work 15 minutes a day on your voice-over tasks, or you could record three auditions or one audition. Just make sure it\u2019s something that you\u2019re able to complete even with the busiest of days. This will ensure that you won\u2019t burn out and you can keep the momentum going. Alternatively,\u00a0 let\u2019s say your goal is 15 minutes a day, you always have the option to put in more time. It\u2019s better to surpass your goals than fall short of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could even make a goal to do one thing a day to advance your career. I heard Joan Rivers in an interview once talk about how she would always do at least one thing a day to help her career and she would make sure she got it done before she went to bed at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be helpful to set the same time every day to complete your daily habit. That way, you aren\u2019t putting it off and it can become part of your routine. It could be the first thing you do in the morning, right when you get home from work, or right when the kids go to bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping a daily habit will help create a consistent momentum in your voice-over business and keep the ball rolling. You\u2019ll be surprised at the big goals you can accomplish long term with small daily habits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI can predict the long-term outcome of your success if you show me your daily habits.\u201d\u00a0 -John Maxwell When I first started in voice-over, I did it as a part-time job on the side.
