One of my favorite emails for inspiration – sent to me by Howie Hoggins

READ THIS!

Never give up on yourself or your dreams...
Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4-years-old and did not read until he was 7. His parents thought he was "sub-normal," and one of his teachers described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams."
He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School.
He did eventually learn to speak and read. Even to do a little math.

Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He was subsequently defeated in every election for public office until he became Prime Minister at the age of 62. He later wrote, "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never -in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never, Never, Never, Never give up.''

As a young man, Abraham Lincoln went to war a captain and returned a private. Afterwards, he was a failure as a businessman. As a lawyer in Springfield, he was too impractical and temperamental to be a success. He turned to politics and was defeated in his first try for the legislature, again defeated in his first attempt to be nominated for congress, defeated in his application to be commissioner of the General Land Office, defeated in the senatorial election of 1854, defeated in his efforts for the vice-presidency in 1856, and defeated in the senatorial election of 1858. He later became the 16th President of the United States of America.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.
 
Henry Ford could not read nor write, failed and went broke five times in business before he succeeded.
 
As an inventor, Thomas Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb.  When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail a thousand times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."  Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive."

 

Newbies – Join Bodalgo
Bodalgo started its activities in Germany in January 2008 and grew quite a bit since then: We have managed to attract many talents from US and UK and together with a bigger number of talents, more and more voice seekers chose bodalgo to post their auditions.

But: There is still a lot to do. There are still many languages where we have only a couple of native speakers. "But that is great for me!" you might think (if you are one of our "monopolists"), but our experience show that much more jobs will come through the system once the seekers realise that bodalgo offers a wider range of talents.

So we are constantly searching more talents from areas we are not so well equipped (and we mean that only by quantity NOT by quality!) like France, Spain, Italy, northern Europe among others. If you want to, you can help us accelerate the process

Our vision for the upcoming year is simple and clear: At a time where you hear about the downgoing economy all the time (yes, we are fed up with everybody moaning, too!) bodalgo wants to spread good news instead building a strong and successful voice over community.

MORE TO COME 

Take care
All our best
