How to build your Skill Stack as a solopreneur (when you don’t feel skillful)
People would pay good money to have what you have.
“Hi, I’m David McIlroy. I’m here to meet Naomi.”
“Oh. Naomi?”
“Yeah, for the video… thing.”
“Oh. I’m not sure if she’s here.”
That’s how my meeting started today.
I was asked to come to our local library to record a promo video for an upcoming book event. I’d never done one before and had no idea what to expect.
And when the librarian at reception seemed confused as to a) where Naomi was, and b) why she’d need to see me, I feared the worst.
Had I got the date wrong (wouldn’t be the first time)? Had I misunderstood why they wanted me there?
Thankfully, Naomi the videographer was in the building, and had been expecting me. Before I knew it, I was sitting on a sofa opposite her camera and microphone, smiling into the lens, doing my best impression of someone who knew what they were talking about.
