How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital: The Four Rules You Must Break To Get Rich

by Nathan Latka

I know someone who is working on launching a career as a voiceover artist. His plan looks like this: In the next decade, he will have a full client base and will bring in a high six-figure annual income from his VO work. This year, he plans to secure ten regular clients and get an agent. To accomplish the year’s goal, he’s setting five systems in motion: System 1: Record/produce demos for the genres he plans to work in: audiobooks, radio/TV commercials, corporate videos. System 2: Build a portfolio website to showcase his demos. System 3: Audition for thirty gigs a week through websites like Voices.com and Voices123.com. System 4: Reach out to ten agents a week. System 5: Reach out to five audiobook publishers a week. Each day of the week he’ll focus on building out one of these systems. If one system has to launch before he can start another (demos before website, website before auditions and agent/publisher outreach), he’ll dedicate his week to building each layer of the cake that will ultimately provide him with year after year of voiceover success.
