A New Path Unfolds: Barry Shawgo's Journey from Corporate Veteran to Home Video Studio Owner

 

From the grind of the corporate world... to the creative freedom of running his own business, the transformation of Barry Shawgo is a story of change, determination, and success. In our latest blog post, we want to share Barry's journey with you. His experience, we hope, will serve as an inspiration for all who are seeking to reinvent their career paths, or embark on a fulfilling second act in life.

Barry's professional life was deeply rooted in the corporate sector. For 19 years, he honed his skills in the newspaper business, advertising, and marketing, spending his time in retail sales and working for a software company that catered to media companies. His vast experience in these areas is as diverse as it is impressive.

But the relentless pace of the corporate world, with its rigid 70 hour weeks. schedules and unending pressures, eventually led Barry to yearn for a change. He wanted a stress-free, flexible business opportunity - one that would allow him to take charge and be his own boss. That search led him to Home Video Studio.

Barry's transition from the corporate world to the helm of his own Home Video Studio is marked by a distinct sense of freedom and tranquility. He reflects on the pure creative freedom he now enjoys in a less stressful environment - no bosses, no meaningless meetings, and most importantly, no limitations.

One of the crucial factors that influenced Barry's decision was the versatility of the Home Video Studio model. Whether he wanted to run it as a lifestyle business or expand it into a larger enterprise, the business model gave him the flexibility to choose his own path.

However, the true differentiator for Home Video Studio, as Barry points out, is its supportive framework. With expert guidance and advice from the Home Video Studio Family - a network of successful owners - it provides a solid foundation for newcomers. Despite this, the model allows room for individuality, letting owners adapt the business to their own specific markets.

"Home Video Studio gives you the fra
mework to be successful and the guidelines and those types of things. But at the end of the day, I own the business, I make the decisions." 

Barry underscores the importance of following the expert advice provided. Despite the autonomy offered, he emphasizes that the guidance is often invaluable in different markets.

Barry's story is a testament to the possibilities that open up when you're passionate about your work. If you're contemplating a career change, have an interest in video and technology, or are looking for a fulfilling 'second-act' business, Barry's experience underscores that Home Video Studio could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Barry's words of wisdom? If you love working with people, enjoy making them happy, and have a passion for video, then Home Video Studio is an opportunity that deserves your serious consideration.

The Shortcut to Success: Starting Your Home Video Studio

Hello, aspiring video professionals! I'm Robert Hanley, the founder and CEO of Home Video Studio. Today, I wanted to share some vital insights on making money with video, specifically about starting a home-based video editing business. 

Robert Hanley, CEO & Founder Home Video Studio

Over the years, I've had countless interactions with budding entrepreneurs eager to jump into the video business. Recently, I received an email from someone believing they could replicate our studio at almost half the price by just buying the equipment. This prompted me to underscore a key point: it's not about the equipment alone; it's about what you do with the equipment.

Let me clarify: the equipment does matter, but it's not everything. The video industry is more than just cameras, editing software, and lighting. If your first and foremost concern is equipment, you're setting your priorities wrong. You see, even the best gear could lead to business failure if you're unable to use it effectively or, more importantly, profitably.

Like an artist picking out paints and brushes, your gear is essential, but it's your expertise and ability to attract and serve clients that will truly define your success. Asking questions like, "How will you find customers? How will you price your services? Who will build your website? How will you market your services?" is where your focus should be at the onset.

...If your first and foremost concern is equipment, you're setting your priorities wrong...

The real focus should be on how you can use your equipment package to provide you and your family with the income and lifestyle you desire.
