What Would You Do With A Million Dollars?

July 10, 2019 by Jodi Krangle

What Would You Do With A Million Dollars?
https://voiceoversandvocals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/WhatWouldYouDoWithAMillionDollars-Spoken-JodiKrangle.mp3

Honestly, and I know this probably sounds pretty trite – I’d continue doing what I’m doing.  But I’d be a lot more relaxed about life in general, that’s for sure.  How about you?  What would that kind of money mean to you?  Do you feel it’s entirely unattainable?  Some pie in the sky idea that can never happen?

Here’s the thing.  It’s all about setting priorities.  Saving money isn’t only about putting money in the bank.  It’s all about not spending it on things that aren’t important to you.  Do you really not care what kind of car you drive?  Buy something that’s been gently used and free yourself from car payments.  Does it matter where you live?  If not, why not move to somewhere where the cost of living is much lower than where you currently are.  This can save you a great deal of money in the future – and allow you to both save money in your bank accounts, and also to spend money on the things you do feel are important.

Do you like having a family vacation once a year (or more)?  Do you just enjoy travel in general and make that a priority?  Do you really enjoy meals out?  Or buying gourmet ingredients to cook meals at home?

Personally, I’m something of a coffee fiend.  My indulgence?  I actually have a subscription at Peet’s Coffee to have bags of Major Dickasons’ Blend sent to me on a semi-regular basis so that my morning coffee is just the way I like it.  I live in Canada.  That means that finding this particular coffee in my local Walmart isn’t possible the way it is for my friends in the States.  So it’s expensive (or at least, more expensive than it would be if I could just walk to my local Walmart and get it) – and there’s shipping involved.  But I do it – because that first cup of coffee is a priority to me.  There are other things I don’t spend money on in order to do this.  It’s all about priorities.

And ultimately, choosing your priorities – saving in one place so that you’re able to spend or save in another place – is how you get to that million dollars.

I recently had the pleasure of listening (and watching) Andy Storch‘s podcast on Choosing Financial Freedom with Brad Barrett – and it was quite the eye opener!  First off, The Andy Storch Show is full of interesting, inspirational and empowering information and interviews.  I highly recommend you watch or listen to his podcast every chance you get.  This one in particular though, interviewing Brad from ChooseFI (and they have communities all over the world) hit a nerve with me.  I went and joined the community almost immediately after listening.   Maybe that million dollars is closer than you think!

Improvising Shakespeare

Improvising Shakespeare
https://voiceoversandvocals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ImprovisingShakespeare-Spoken-JodiKrangle.mp3

Who let me in here? How did I get where I am?  Why do I deserve this?  What if I … (fill in the blank – forget my lines, play a wrong note, say something stupid in a meeting … You get the idea.)

We all have these thoughts.  We all wonder how we got any of our successes – and if we deserve them.  We all dwell on the one negative comment, and forget about all positive ones.   It’s human nature.  And it’s called Impostor Syndrome.

How do we combat this?  I don’t know about you, but when I see extremely talented and successful people admit to feeling this way, it kind of makes me feel better.  After all – if someone as successful as David Tennant deals with this sort of thing on a regular basis, who am I to deny my own feelings of inadequacy?

Enter – Off Camera, with Sam Jones.  He has some remarkably candid conversations with some very successful people and lots of interesting perspectives on what we all deal with.  Ultimately, these people are just like us.  And just like us, their brains can play tricks on them.

Here’s a small sample of Sam’s interview with David Tennant.  And besides wanting to give the man a hug, I found a lot of what he said to be fascinating.  For instance, he reveals that he actually improvised during a performance of Romeo & Juliette (while playing Romeo) – and it turns out, no one noticed.  Isn’t that interesting.

The audience was full of theater critics that had probably seen that play a hundred times or more – and no one noticed.  Lesson learned.  If you don’t draw attention to it, and your audience is entertained, it’s likely they won’t notice a mistake either. This can apply to a bunch of different things such as live music performances, business presentations, even keynote speeches.  We’re all human.  We all make mistakes.  It’s what we do after we’ve made them, that demonstrates who we are.

This sample of David Tennant’s interview definitely shows who he is.  And if you want to view more of these candid interviews, there’s more on Netflix (3 seasons of it, in fact).

The Growth Now Movement

Justin Schenck is an entrepreneur and public speaker who hosts a podcast called the Growth Now Movement.  By now, you’re probably starting to see a theme in my blog posts – one of self discovery and yes, growth – in both your business and personal life.  Listening to this podcast is only one of the many ways you can expand your horizons.  And I would never have heard about him at all, were it not for Vincent Pugliese, Andy Storch & Ken Carfagno.

These three have been instrumental in expanding my horizons.  All three of them just recently went to Justin’s Growth Now Movement Live event in Reading, Pennsylvania – and RAVED about it.  So much so that I’m committed to joining them next year, and very much looking forward to it. This is a big deal for me because most of the conferences I’ve been to in the past have been voice conferences where I meet up with my colleagues and discuss the business of … well… voice overs – not business conferences in general.

Don’t get me wrong.  It’s wonderful to meet up with my friends in the voice over business.  And they really are good friends. But it will be equally interesting and educational to meet up with business professionals that are motivated to up their game across all sorts of different industries.  A lot of what motivates them, also motivates me.  And that leads me to more mention of Justin’s podcast.

I’ve already linked to his interview with Mike Kim – and if you’re wanting to give his podcast a listen, I think you’ll really find that particular one to be highly entertaining and educational.   But this episode on How to Deal with Imposter Syndrome really spoke to me.  It’s a short podcast (only a little over 3 minutes!) – but it’s a powerful one.  He calls these his “moment of growth”.  And along with these, he also interviews some fascinating and highly motivational personalities.

Sometimes all that’s between you and success is a different mindset – and these podcasts are really good at shifting that inner dialogue from destructive to constructive.  My recommendation is to listen to a bunch of his back episodes, depending on what appeals to you, and then follow his podcast from here on out. I know I’ll be adding this one to my list.  I hope it helps you reach those big dreams!
