Should you include it on your site anyway?\nToday’s guest suggests that we cut that out and only include the type of work that we really truly want to make. That will get you to the heart of using your unique voice to drive your business.\nAbout Monique Wray\nMonique Wray is a San Francisco based animator, illustrator, and director. She specializes in creating character-focused illustrated and animated content for a wide range of companies.\nWhat Makes You Unique is an Asset\nAs Monique pivoted her business from freelance to studio owner, she went on a mission of discovery to find her unique voice.\nThere is something that differentiates everyone and sets us all apart. Monique found that focusing on that not only helps her get noticed by clients but also leads to more personally fulfilling work.\nSimply put, when you present the work that you want to do the most, you’ll attract the clients who want to hire you to do that sort of work.\nBeing Yourself to Find the Right Clients for You\nWe all want to create work that gets us hired. Monique finds that doing so should not be separated from your values, identity, and the impact that you want to make.\nIt may take intentional work to discover or rediscover what those elements are, but it’s worth it.\nWhen your work is imbued with your values and identity, the right clients will resonate with it and be all the more eager to work with you.\nRead the full show notes\nLinks and resources\nFind Monique Wray online\nFollow Monique on Instagram\nFind Your Artistic Voice by Lisa Congdon\nThe Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson\nBig Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert\nRelated episodes\n Episode 77: How to Plan Your Best Motion Design Year Ever\nAdditional resources\nPodcast music licensed by Big Waves\nsonosanctus.com\ndankoch.net\nPodcast production & marketing support by the team at Counterweight Creative","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6xsBYKnILeAtccYypWeYL_O2NEWlJf8222gnA24qdKQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzUwODIxLzE3MTA3/ODEzMDYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
