I’ve talked to a lot of filmmakers all over the world at all stages of their businesses. The ones who are the most consistently successful think differently. 95% of video companies I meet all seem to be making the same mistake. The major mistake they commit is failing to invest in what truly matters, themselves. They focus too much on the gear and evangelizing about how powerful video is. Many are missing the chance to build a sustainable and solid business because they are focusing on the wrong things.
The good news is: it’s not too late to fix.
Today we’re testing something new. Instead of me asking the questions, we’ll turn the tables around. Charley Valher, who was our very first guest on this podcast, interviews me about my view on why businesses stagnate or fail.
We’ll be talking about what I call the freelance mentality and why it’s throttling to the growth of most video businesses.
