Hey, yeah, I’m done here. I really appreciate the amazing people I’ve met here, and I hope we can stay connected on other platforms. I’m keeping my account “open,” but I'm gone. I’ll post my full reasoning in a thread if anyone’s interested, but for now I'm off to clearer skies.

My heart goes out to the millions of people whose lives just became infinitely harder due to the combination of policy and rhetoric this week. But at the end of the day, everyone has a line, and I guess I found mine. Much love.

who believes I should either not exist, be subjugated, or subservient, killed, or whatever it is the modern anti-semites want for me and my people. I don’t want to diminish the terrible things he and the new administration said about other marginalized communities either.

These resources—RMMFI, CEDS, SCORE, SBA, and even libraries—have made a big difference in my small business journey as a voice actor. What resources have helped you grow your business?

Your local library is more than books—it’s a goldmine for small business owners. Many libraries offer databases, workshops, and even free meeting spaces. You’d be surprised what’s available!

The SBA (Small Business Administration) has been a go-to for me. They offer funding options, guides, and resources for small businesses at any stage. Worth checking out!

Nationally, SCORE Mentors is an incredible free resource. Experienced professionals offer mentoring and workshops to help small businesses thrive. I’ve worked with a couple of mentors, and they’ve been great for accountability.

Another Colorado resource for small business owners: CEDS Finance. I got a small business loan through them, plus invaluable guidance. If you're in Colorado, they’re worth a look.

If you’re in Colorado, check out RMMFI (Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute). They offer training, mentorship, and funding for entrepreneurs. I did their 3-month program—it changed the way I approach my business!

@JosyAokuro Hey! Sure am, nice to meet another! 🏔️

@PeterReinVO Another fellow mile high VA?! Love to hear your insights! ☺️

As a voice actor, I’m technically a small business owner too, and I’ve found some amazing resources that make the journey a little easier. I'm going to share a small business resource each day this week that helped me build my business!

@SavviLee Nope, I'm a Sole-Proprietor DBA. In Colorado (where I live), that is easier and covers all the bases I need covered. It still is registered with the Secretary of State counts as a small business though ;)

@PeterReinVO Are you officially an LLC?

@GMHakimVO Thanks! Tomorrow and Wednesday will be Colorado resources and the rest of the week will be national!

@PeterReinVO Looking forward to the list!

I’m setting action-based goals this year instead of results-based ones, since those work a little better for my brain. What about you—do you set goals based on actions, results, or both?

What skills are you building this year? I’m using at least 4 hours a week for VO skill development in 2025. That could mean voice-over practice, working on dialects, learning audio engineering, or anything that helps me grow as an actor!

@AnaRoseMusic Thank you love ❤️💕

@PeterReinVO You can do this! I’m so proud of you!!! 💞💞💕❤️❤️

It’s a little late, but I’m setting my focus for 2025: CONSISTENCY. Consistent marketing, consistent skill development, and consistent social media presence. All (hopefully) to lead to consistent income haha. Let’s see where this year takes us.

@LegitPossibly Thank you!

@PeterReinVO You got this
