After more than 12.5 years at the same company, my husband lost his job today. We are preparing to swap roles. He will become the primary caregiver for our children, house manager, and home school teacher while I work on my voiceover business full-time.
The stakes are high! We have a family to support.
It really stinks that my husband lost his job, but, he’s not alone. People all over the US are losing jobs, being furloughed, or put in other less-than-ideal situations.
I’ve been training to be a professional voice actor for 2 years now, and The Power of Broke is about to kick in. I’ve been wanting the opportunity to focus on my voiceover business full-time, and I’m about to find out what I can achieve with my family’s full support!
If you’re not familiar with “The Power of Broke,” it’s both a
concept and a book. Daymond John, founder of FUBU
and investor on ABC’s reality TV series Shark Tank wrote a
book called The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight
Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest
Competitive Advantage.

The concept of the book is that desperation leads to
innovation. When
there is no other source of income, creativity, resourcefulness,
and passion can help a person fight for success. Daymond’s book has been on my
list for a while.
I’ll be reading it this month. And, I’ll be living it
too!
I have some great interview shows coming up. Here’s a little about the next four!
