  • Scott Markowitz: The Edit Yourself Process: How One Man Used His Skills to Live His Best Life /Ep 3530

About Scott Markowitz

After an amazing career as a TV/Film editor and visual effects artist, I decided to strike out on my own and run my own video production company.

The road proved to be incredibly difficult until I dove deep into self-help and I made critical adjustments in the way I thought and viewed the world around me...

…I went from being a business failure to being a successful businessperson in less than 3 years.

I always knew I wanted to work in creative services, so I worked hard to become an editor for CNN early in my career.

After that, I worked hard toward becoming a top-level session editor and worked with some of the largest ad agencies, PR firms, and political consultants in the United States.

Then once I started my own video production company, my dreams of a better life seemed to unravel.

My skills were clearly solid but struggled to be profitable.  I felt frustrated and helpless, and I had worked too hard to let my dreams slip away. I dove into business literacy and got great coaching.

This allowed me to identify and correct the blind spots and strategic problems.

Now I empower others on their journey to creative and financial freedom.
