Are You Scared to Start A Video Business?

Do you feel like you're going in circles? Not getting anywhere? Are you scared to make a move?

We all get scared from time to time. Not scared like afraid of the dark - scared like we are afraid to make a move for fear of failure or rejection. It’s natural. I know many of you have been looking at Home Video Studio for years. Some of you have come close to contacting us or coming to see us but you have not actually done anything yet. Fear holds you back: Fear of making a mistake; Fear of being committed; Fear of Failing; Fear of saying the wrong thing and simply just fear.

Could this be the day you take ACTION?

For millions of Americans and Canadians (yes we have a few interested parties from our friends to the north!) each day is a repeat of the prior day. We do the same things each day. Most people want to break away. Some get really close. Sadly, most people are on an endless REPEAT CYCLE. The only way to break the pattern is to TAKE ACTION. 

You’re not too old! It’s not too late. Call me at 317-358-5932.

Sales Tools for Video Production Services

 So just how good are you at sales? Any sales experience? Most people have done something in their past – perhaps a part-time job in college or even a full-time “real” sales job. The fact is that while you don’t have to have any sales experience to run a Home Video Studio you probably have some experience that will come in to play once you have opened your own studio. 

The good news is you don’t have to be a natural born salesperson to be successful.  

What do you need then? What do you need to become a successful Home Video Studio owner? You need motivation for one thing.  

You need to be motivated to make your business work. If you have a passion for film, video, movies, computers, tech or even just running a business, you can take that passion and really build a successful business on it. What you'll find is that your passion and excitement will be contagious! Your customers will sense this. It makes making sales so easy. Passion is the key. 

Think of the effort you have put into your past or current job. Most of you probably work your butts off for your employers. What you’ll find when you run your own Home Video Studio is that you will work much harder when you work for yourself. It is such a joy. Once again that joy makes it easy to handle the sales part of HVS. 

We’ll help you develop sales skills. We have a great training coming up in Reno, Nevada in late July. In fact, we have a Show ‘N Tell Saturday coming up in Indianapolis on March 26 and April 2.  You can visit us in person or join via Zoom (Zoom ‘N Tell Saturday!). 

Call for details: 317-358-5932 or just call with questions.

Allow yourself to fail...

 I have noticed over the years that many people are afraid of making mistakes. This perhaps comes from their environment. The way they were brought up. Their parents, friends, family. It is pushed on us by the media. Think how many times your morning news show (or evening news for that matter) has promoted a segment on making the right choice – picking the right moment and choosing the perfect choice. We’re taught every day to be extremely careful in all of our decisions. 

On the surface this all sounds fine, even wise. The reality is that the drive for perfection holds most of us back. We are simply afraid… no terrified. We are terrified to make a poor decision. We don’t want to make a mistake. Who does… right?

So we do nothing at all. 

Time passes. And passes. 

And we still do nothing. We take no action but the perceived safe action and in doing so we fail ourselves. We stagnate and die a slow death whether we realize it or not. 

To grow and succeed… to have real growth in our lives we have to fall down. We need to get dirty. We have to skin our knees a bit. It hurts. We cry. But we always get back up, don’t we?

Allow yourself the chance to fail and you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams. 

Give yourself permission to fail and you will live. 

If you have the courage, make the time and journey to Indianapolis on Friday March 11^th. You can audit some of the Advanced Training classes. Meet studio owners from Coast to Coast. Go out to dinner with them. Watch their work (their videos). On Saturday, March 12, you’ll be in my studio and in our training center attending the Show ‘N Tell Saturday Seminar That’s a four hour free seminar all about starting your Home Video Studio. By the way, it’s a great way to bring your wife, husband, partner or significant other up to date on what you are interested in. 

Want to do this as a retirement business? At Show ‘N Tell weekend you’ll meet plenty of folks who are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s running studios. For the right person this is the perfect business. 

For a thousand generations the Jedi guarded the universe (Star Wars reference) and for 22 years we have been putting people into their own Home Video Studio. This business works and it can work for you.  Call us at 317-358-5932 to reserve your spot or simply ask questions.

How Many Monitors? Let's Do the Numbers...

Someone commented on our Facebook ad yesterday. It was an attempt at humor. Something like “Look honey, I have seven monitors. Now I can really edit.” I messaged back and said: “Actually there are thirteen monitors.” 

When we started 22 years ago. There were only magazines to advertise in. Twenty years ago we started advertising in Videomaker Magazine and we are still advertising there today. The fact is… I am sure people saw our ad way back when in Videomaker and chuckled from time to time. Even today people like to comment on Facebook and say that they tried a video business and it didn’t work out for them. Reminds me of that line from Glengary Glen Ross. Alec Baldwin says: “Bunch of losers sitting around in a bar, "oh yeah, I used to be a salesman.”  

What they don’t know is that every successful business has its secrets and its secret sauce. If you want, you can come to Indianapolis and count the monitors. I re-counted. There are actually 18 in my studio. There’s a reason we have so many monitors. There’s a reason we are so successful. There are tons of reasons why we make so much money. 

We can talk numbers. Let’s do it. Last year my studio made over $300,000.00 and I run my studio part time. Last week I made over $12,000.00. Yesterday I made over $5000.00. You can say that that is easy for me to say but what about “me” (you). Well, you’ll never know until you try. If you sit in your comfort zone reading my emails, scrolling through Facebook, watching mindless TV, you’ll never know. 

Starting a business takes courage. Getting started in a new business is a blurry business for most folks. Where to start? What to do? Many are afraid of making mistakes, so they simply freeze. They sit in their comfort zone, read emails, scroll through Facebook, watch mindless TV, and accept less of themselves. 

Let’s get back to numbers for a minute or two. It takes $79,900.00 to purchase a studio. That’s a lot less than most franchises. The good news is we’re not a franchise. I hate franchising. We put you in the video business and we teach you how to make money with video. You will totally own your own business. If you’re smart and apply yourself, you can make twice that amount of $79,900.00 in your first year. My studio as made over $70,000.00 in the first two months of this year. This business is booming. You need to take a serious look at it. 

If you have the courage, make the time and journey to Indianapolis on Friday March 11th. You can audit some of the Advanced Training classes. Meet studio owners from Coast to Coast. Go out to dinner with them. Watch their work (their videos). On Saturday, March 12, you’ll be in my studio and in our training center attending the Show ‘N Tell Saturday Seminar.
