Key Takeaways

✦

Utilize technology like CompanyCam to document all job site progress and details, creating a permanent reference for future needs, inquiries, or issues.

✦

Be a 'shameless self-promoter' by actively seeking opportunities to network and share your work with potential clients or collaborators, as exemplified by Caleb inviting Velvet Rodeo to the podcast.

✦

Understand your worth and value in your industry. Don't be afraid to say no to deals that don't align with your long-term goals or undervalue your work, even if it means foregoing immediate opportunities.

✦

Actively build your brand and fan base (or client base) through grassroots efforts and word-of-mouth. Playing in various locations and taking diverse gigs can lead to new opportunities and broader recognition.

✦

Embrace challenges as learning experiences. The difficulties of touring and performing in diverse environments helped Velvet Rodeo develop stamina and refine their craft.

✦

Consider the long-term impact of your creative efforts. Documenting your journey, whether through video or other means, creates a valuable archive and a 'virtual visual diary' for reflection and future generations.

✦

Leverage diverse platforms to promote your work. Beyond traditional methods, explore new media like TV shows, digital networks, and social media to reach a wider audience and enhance your business's visibility.
