Let me take a moment to appreciate praise!
Being a self-employed person, one who works mostly alone, can be challenging. Especially when it comes to getting praise. It’s not going to come from your boss because you don’t have one! It’s not going to come from co-workers for the same reason! So, when a client praises you and your work…you can really take it to the bank.
Recently, I had the privilege of working with Jeff Blackman, a ‘Platinum” speaker from Chicago. He had several keynotes to deliver in the Houston area over the course of a month, and he hired me to tape them. I jumped at the chance! Jeff is the kind of speaker that us videographers are dying to work with: he’s nationally known, he works with top companies and organizations, and he’s charming and dynamic.
About a month after our work together, Jeff sent me this email:
“Mike came highly recommended. I now know why!Over the span of three weeks, he was my “videographer of choice”
three times. He’s creative. Flexible. And easy to work with.
Most important, he captures and delivers video that’s meaningful and
memorable. If you want a no-worries and results-producing
experience, make sure Mike is a key member of your production team.
Jeff Blackman, Hall of Fame Speaker and bestselling author – “Peak
Your Profits” and “Stop Whining! Start Selling!”
Creatively yours,
Jeff”
Life is good when you pay it forward. Thank you, Jeff!
This is great, Mike. I have always thought the same things of you and it is wonderful to see it recognized in such an articulate and enthusiastic way. Can’t wait to see more of your work out there. Hooray!
