My friend Jeffrey Kafer blogged the other day about a lesson he brought to his voiceover work from his previous occupation as a tester in the gaming industry.
What Jeffrey has done is one of the key methods of making progress in any field: Find a related industry. Identify how they solve problems. Apply the parallel methodology to your own business. Even if my business is my voiceover work? Yep. Read what Jeff did. Think about your own life experiences. What kinds of parallels can you find?
