I’ve been thinking about best ways to gain more credibility. 20 years in my previous field; less than three in my current field!
So glad you brought this up! THank you!
Ed Troxell Creative I have a short list of ideas; I should bounce them off some colleagues/mentors.
Therein lies your answer: thinking, think tanking, brainstorming, praying, discussing…it will lead you to the lightbulb ideas for how to establish your credibility, identifying that common thread between the two careers. 💚

Erin, you could build graphics elements with positive parenting quotes of your own … perhaps … 🤔🤔
I do use my graphics experience for branding, business cards, flyers, etc., but beyond that I’m so over it. 🤣🤣🤣
Erin Michael Miller lol
And sorry Erin that I called you Erica in the broadcast! 💚
Erin Michael Miller so really your question is “How to I incorporate this experience that I actually never want to use again?” 😜 I say keep what you loved and let the rest go. 💚
Micki Webb, Special Education Consultant 👌
Micki Webb, Special Education Consultant Oh, no worries! I knew who you meant. 😜

Micki, you made a comment that totally helped me with upcoming course!!
Yes, read it! So good! I need to read it again!
Failure is feedback!
This!!!
I am much less attached to perfection this time around. So freeing!
Right? I love it! It takes the pressure off big time!
Yes! Striving for perfection robs you of precious time! “The goal is finished, not perfect.” -Jon Acuff
Erica, yes, exactly!
The universe helps you to know when it’s time to begin

Heyyy Micki! Yayyyy!
Heyyy Ona!! 💚💚💚
Heyyy Ona!!
SMMA
Erica Rodriguez Maier do you also teach or train in voice over for aspiring talent?
Ha, Ona, I don’t. 😊 Not something I desire, honestly. I don’t mind giving people small tips and pointers, but intensive instruction — I refer people to other VO talent I know who teach well!
Ok, I totally understand. Thanks for your response!
Ona, if you want to learn more about VO, I highly recommend looking up Bill DeWees on YouTube. He has a WEALTH of instruction on his channel!
WONDERFUL! Does he give guidance on how to get started working in the industry as well? I have already had some training in college.
Ona, YES! He has a TON of info for beginner and seasoned voiceover talent. That’s why I always refer people to him. He’s had his channel for many years now and it has so much valuable content.
Thank you so much for the referral! Checking him out ASAP!
Ona Oh In our YC small group bus is helping people with VO setup, etc. https://www.facebook.com/joy.laurice?ref=br_rs
Thank you Francie Guilday! I appreciate you sharing.
I’ll have to try force wuit
I have my own consulting business as a number cruncher.
Thanks Micki.
Nope not for the faint of heart.
I love that Micki reminded us to start with the low hanging fruits. And to map things out.
The basics that lay that firm foundation! Not fail proof but firm. 😊💚
The basics that lay that firm foundation! Not fail proof but firm.
Micki Webb, Special Education Consultant True. But we tend to forget basics like that. We’re looking for neon-lit ones; or ones with halos to believe they’re God given ideas.
I love your quote–an overnight success is 10 years in the making. I’ll be using it.
And to be fair that came from a guest of mine, I just can’t recall who said it 😬🤦♂️
And to be fair that came from a guest of mine, I just can’t recall who said it
That is sooo soooo good! Ain’t too many actual overnight success stories! Just history we can’t see.
Hey Micki Webb! I am coming on to support girl!
Hey hey Simyona!! Thanks girl!! 💚💚💚
Hey hey Simyona!! Thanks girl!!

Watching the replay. Linked from YC
Oh awesome! Welcome and thank you for letting us know! 😉
Thanks so much for the encouragement and engagement guys! Catch my website at mickiwebb.com
Hi Micki!!
Linda!! Heyyyyy!!!
#REPLAY. This was great Ed and Micki! Good Takeaways! I can’t wait to see the FB live education Ed.
Yay! Welcome! Glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Thanks so much, Felicha!!
Hey Micki – this is so so true and partly why my first business failed – we grew so quickly and the foundations weren’t in place x
What a great point you bring up, Jules! Growing too fast is a problem if the infrastructure can’t support the growth. That laying of the foundation is a key first step. Sorry to hear your first one failed, but I know you learned some valuable things and I don’t ever think any experience is purposeless. It led you here!
Micki Webb, Special Education Consultant oh you are so right – every failure is learning and also you need to take a few steps backwards to take great leaps forwards – will catch up on your show later as I’m up early and off to London for a day of workshops !! Xx
Oooh, London for a day! Awesome! Safe travels my friend.
You go Micki!!! I love this!!!! So proud of you!!!
Thanks so much, Larry! Thank you for the years now of support and encouragement!
Career Consulting
Experiencing that now! Second best lol, taking heed.
Micki Love Your story about resistance to the call
Thanks Dena! I think a lot of us business owners feel that resistance at some time. 💚

“Just keep swimming!” Dory
I have a consulting business with online products where I help women get unstuck to discover their how to love their purpose
