If only you had a roadmap to success. All you regular listeners know I used to struggle with productivity. Deciding exactly where to take my business was nearly paralyzing. Well, my guest today has her own passion for helping you find the clarity and direction you need so your business can take off.

This is a tricky balance of doing what fulfills you as a filmmaker while not ignoring the income producing activities of your workweek. You have to be honest with your clients about how you can help them and how you can’t. Once you’re clear with your identity and what you can do, you’ll see the results.
