What Are Your First Thoughts of the Day?

It's Tuesday, but it feels like a Monday to me!

 So, my family and I had a great Labor Day weekend, and now as I move into the formal "work" week, I am wondering what your "First Thoughts" were today. First Thoughts… the first things you think about when you get out of bed. It's interesting to examine them. I try to write down first thoughts ASAP because they can be indicators of what is going on in my life. Items that I sweep under the rug (too many of those). Things that I am worried about. Stuff that I was mulling over yesterday. Fears, aspirations, and deadlines. Ideas too.

 

There is no rhyme or reason to first thoughts. Don't get too caught up with them but… they can be important, so don't ignore them. Write them down.

 

My "First Thoughts" for today… well, that is personal, but… I will give you a few.

 

1. My grandson's board game. I taught the grandkids Monopoly, and William (my grandson) made his own board game. We played it last night. It is really good! Very fun!

2. The holiday is over, ate some good food and drink, now time to kick up the exercise and focus on healthy diet.

3. Webinar tonight at 6:00 pm EST for people interested in starting a Home Video Studio. Follow this link to register. First thoughts on this… how do we get more people to the webinar and what will we focus on tonight. Most likely making money with video and how you make the transition from where you are now to where you want to be.

4. The Reagan movie. Denise and I are going to see it tonight after the webinar.

5. The Treadmill. I turn it on and move forward. That is the start of every day.

 

What were your first thoughts today? Let me know. Join our webinar if you want. See you on Wednesday.

 

May the Force be with You!

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.

Chris Moen Wins Studio Store of the Year

Home Video Studio Owner Chris Moen wins Studio Store of the Year Award at the 21st Annual Home Video Studio Hanley Awards in Clearwater, Florida on July 17, 2021. Want to start your own home-based video business? www.myhomevideostudio.com.

Peter & Sharon Galluzzo's Home Video Studio Story.

Peter and Sharon Galluzzo in their original HVS Studio. 

Peter and Sharon Galluzzo made millions with their Home Video Studio. Peter found HVS online and watched us for years before he finally picked up the phone and called Robert.

Peter wanted to be his own boss. It was his idea to start a business and they both wanted to do something that both would enjoy.

They posted this picture today so I thought I would blog about them. 

"When we found Home Video Studio, we knew it was a great business but the decision was difficult because it was still a risk. It took a lot of prayers, sweat, tears and evaluation before we decided to go for it. The final decision was really more of a spiritual one. When we determined that this was what we were “supposed” to do, it became easier. We did all we could to get ready and be prepared and then we just had to take the proverbial leap of faith."

At HVS Basic Training Dinner Winter 2008.

Peter and Sharon traveled to a Show 'N Tell on Long Island in early 2008.  Show 'N Tell Saturdays are the weekend events/seminars that Home Video Studio puts on to help individuals and couples who are interested in starting a Home Video Studio get more information and have a better understanding of the business. 

Grand Opening in their home - 2008.

Peter and Sharon purchased  their studio that day and then weeks later attended Basic Training in Indianapolis. They were both very excited. 

Sharon and Peter started part-time. Sharon was a Stay-at-Home Mom and Peter was in IT. They worked from their home for the first five years and then moved into an HVS Studio Store in Apex, North Carolina. It was a bit slow at first but that was just fine since they were part-time.

“I’ve learned so much from so many people. When we started, I made it a point to learn from everyone we could. Listening to what others found successful (and unsuccessful) gave us a reference point from which we could plot a path. There was a lot of support from HVS as well as the other owners. We made a lot of friends! We had a great rivalry with other owners, all in good fun, of course, but it really helped keep           us motivated, focused and pressing on toward goals.”

With their family at Getaway 9 at Disney World.

From their opening in June of 2008 they were “quick out of the gate” and their story, in tandem with their successes, has been frequently documented in the annals of Home Video Studio and this blog.  Peter, with a computer and IT background, became interested in video as an AV volunteer at his church. Sharon, his wife, came from a background in public relations and fundraising. Yearning to leave corporate America they decided to risk what they had to get what they wanted. They became Home Video Studio owners. With daily diligence and strategy this powerful team began to build a business that has been on a success track ever since.

Peter and Sharon were honored with the coveted Studio of the Year Award in 2011.

Peter and Sharon rose to the top quickly. They began to win "Hanley" Awards (Home Video Studios' version of the Oscars) and were named Studio Owners of the Year in 2011. Peter enjoyed and excelled at video editing and production and loved all things tech. Sharon had a back for getting business and working with customers. President and Founder of Home Video Studio Robert Hanley says the following about the Galluzzos and their time in Home Video Studio, "They decided to go for that January day on Long Island. I remember meeting them the night before at the Show 'N Tell dinner. Peter was bit shy. Sharon was outgoing. I liked them immediately and that is important. People buy from people they like and it works both ways. Peter and Sharon liked me and I liked them and their customers liked them too! I do recall that they both had tons of questions at Show 'N Tell. They purchased on that same day. I think that's a powerful motivator. Once you engage and make that final decision you are no longer thinking about starting a video production and post-production business, you are doing it. You'll become unstoppable." 

Peter and Sharon pulled Robert aside at the Getaway about four years after then had purchased. They had already made the transition from part-time to full-time. Now they had their eye on moving the business into a shop on Main Street. They did! They were doing $5000.00 to $10,000.00 weeks. Now they started exceeding  $10,000.00 per week on a regular basis. It was an exciting time for them. 

A couple of years later they were presented with Studio Store of the Year. Peter and Sharon served on the Home Video Studio Advisory Council. Both of them started to train for HVS. They became leaders in Home Video Studio.

Sharon shared some secrets of their success a few years ago. "It’s no secret. Have the right mindset, set goals, choose what motivates us, execute the plan, review and evaluate, then do it all over again. Also, we have systems in place and we manage the system. Plus, we strive to be professional at every turn. We are organized and have a clean studio so customers have confidence in us and trust us with their most valuable possessions. Finally, we adopt a “givers gain” mentality – and we say we don’t have any competitors –only collaborators." Clearly they had the right attitude. 

Peter on location in Tucson, Arizona.

Peter at Getaway 18 wining the President's Award. 

Peter and Sharon have won almost every award that is possible in Home Video Studio. Peter became an accomplished Producer/Director/Editor. At his tenth and final Home Video Studio Peter was honored by winning the coveted President's Award for "Best of the Best."

Sharon started a speaker and training business and still trains for Home Video Studio.

At Thanksgiving... Sharon sat down and wrote an email to Robert Hanley. 

"During this "thankful" season, I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we enjoy being part of Home Video Studio. I know that we don't call for advice as much as we used to, but we always feel supported. I can firmly state that our business would not be what it is today without the HVS support.

You and the whole HVS team are doing a fabulous job and we appreciate you so very much! Thank you for everything you do, big and small. And thanks, Robert, for sharing your business with us."

Sharon Galluzzo - Home Video Studio - Apex

Peter and Sharon sold their Home Video Studio for six figures ten years after they started. That was their plan. 

They retired and bought a house on the beach.

Do You Want to Play a Game?

Did you ever play a game of Monopoly that seemed to go on forever? Remember those days? I do. I remember Monopoly games that went on for days and days. Us kids would play as long as we could stay awake and then some. It was just so fun! Maybe Monopoly was not your game. Maybe your game was Scrabble, Risk or Life or almost any card game. Playing games is important of growing up. They teach us life skills, strategy and competition in a safe environment. 

Running a business is pretty much like playing a game. There’s strategy, skills and competition. The business game, just like Monopoly, goes on and on. It’s really fun and sometimes it’s a real challenge. It’s exciting. I can’t wait each day to get up and play the Home Video Studio game. Plus I get paid to play!
