The 4 E-Myth Personality Types Business Owners Need To Nurture (Or Rein In)

6 Figure Creative

December 17, 2019

Most audio engineers are prone to having the personality of a technician. Cold, ego-filled, and always right, we have a reputation of being difficult to work with. To be a successful business-owner, technicians need to learn how to balance their personalities can all co-exist with the inner artist.

This is the Six Figure Home Studio Podcast, Episode 110

SPEAKER_3 (0:06)

You're listening to the Six Figure Home Studio Podcast. The number one resource for running a profitable home recording studio.

Brian Hood (0:19)

Welcome back to another episode of the 6 Figure Home Studio Podcast. I am your host, Brian Hood, and I'm here with my, and I'm here with my bald, beautiful...

Today, man.

SPEAKER_3 (0:29)

Do it. It's fine.

Brian Hood (0:32)

And I'm here with my bald, beautiful, amazing purple shirted co-host, who I have tried to introduce multiple times now, and I'm finally going to just say, we're doing it.

Christopher J. Graham, how are you doing today, buddy? I can't talk today. I'm just going to keep dropping F-bombs. I'm going to bleep them out, though, because it's the right thing to do.

Christopher J. Graham (0:50)

Kids, bleep them out for the kids. I'm great, man.

I am in the process of moving my office, and I'm in my new office, not moved in, but with our whole desk recording rig.

Brian Hood (1:02)

Is this the office that the trombone player put together a few weeks ago?

Christopher J. Graham (1:06)

Yes, exactly. Yes. Well, actually, no, that one's upstairs, but Andy moved out. He moved upstairs.

Brian Hood (1:11)

Oh, you're not upstairs right now? I thought you're upstairs.

Christopher J. Graham (1:13)

No.

Brian Hood (1:13)

Anyways, so if you don't know, a couple of weeks ago, there was an episode where there's a lot of construction noise happening on Chris's end, and it literally sounded like a trombone player.

Christopher J. Graham (1:20)

It was amazing and extremely difficult for my ADD to continue to try to finish that almost-done episode once the trombone playing began.

That was hard, man. But yeah, I'm good.

How are you, Brian? What is new in your life?

Brian Hood (1:34)

I am doing great, my man. I have just updated the whole entire Six Figure Home Studio website. I've got a few little side pages still to update, but the whole site has been refreshed, and it looks so much better, especially our podcast page.

Christopher J. Graham (1:45)

You killed it.

Brian Hood (1:45)

That was the page I put the most work into to make it look the best. So if you go to the sixfigurehomestudio.com/podcast, go there and tell me how good I did so I feel better about myself. Validate me, please.

Christopher J. Graham (1:56)

I'm not saying this to flatter you, but my wife and I both looked at it, and it's like the best podcast web page I've ever seen.

Brian Hood (2:02)

Good.

Christopher J. Graham (2:02)

Tell us about some of the new features. You can like search episode lyrics.

Brian Hood (2:08)

No, there is a search feature on the website, but it doesn't work, so don't use it. I'll make it work later. I don't know how to actually make it work yet.

The cool thing is you can actually open the podcast from that page to different apps like Spotify or Stitcher or iTunes or whatever.

Christopher J. Graham (2:22)

MySpace.

Brian Hood (2:23)

MySpace. You can listen to our player right in the browser, so that's always fun. And then you can go to the show notes pages from our most recent episodes on that page. And there's a nice little video that you and I shot together.

Christopher J. Graham (2:33)

Yeah.

Brian Hood (2:34)

That we're running on. We started running a Facebook ad, so maybe you'll see our Facebook ad on there. Here's the only ask I have. If you see our Facebook ad for the podcast where Chris and I are talking side by side, comment on there and just give us, like the post and comment below to give us social proof.

And that will make other people want to see what the podcast is all about when they see people telling us nice thing in the comments. You also can say terrible things if you want. We'll just delete those and only leave the good things.

Christopher J. Graham (2:59)

Yeah, I'm excited. It kind of feels like we are digging in on this podcast, and after about two years or so, it has worked and grown, and we really have not tried to grow it. We've just tried to make it.

Brian Hood (3:13)

That's the thing. Part of this has come from the fact that, like I read something recently that was long story short, was just saying that you should spend 50% of your time creating content, and the other 50% of your time promoting that content. And I would say we put about 98% of our time into creating the content, and about 2% of the time into promoting it. I don't even send emails out when new podcast episodes air. Like I have an email list of like 30-something, 40-something, 50-something thousand people that I just don't email very often, especially never about podcasts. That needs to change.
