Bad Habits That Are Costing Your Voice Over Business Money - Everyday VOpreneur Podcast with Marc Scott

5 THINGS TAKING MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET

A voiceover business can live or die by its habits - the small things you do every day that quietly add up to growth or to money left on the table. In this episode, Marc breaks down five bad habits that are probably costing you income and opportunity right now, and exactly how to fix each one.

First: saying yes to everything - not the jobs, but the free revisions, after-hours rush gigs, and "just this one time" asks that quietly become a precedent. Then confusing being busy with being productive, where hours disappear into low-impact tasks that feel like work but move nothing.

He also covers not tracking your business expenses and subscriptions (with a simple AI trick to find what you can cut), leaning too heavily on one client and why you replace them before they leave, and the habit that may cost the most: not asking enough questions before you quote. Usage, deliverables, revisions, and the single question - "did you have a budget in mind?" - that has added 20, 50, even 100% to Marc's quotes.

Which one hit a little too close to home?
