Being in a negative headspace doesn't feel good. Usually this can come from either negative self talk, or people being negative around you. How do you get out of it? Stop hiding behind your emotions and take control and responsibility of how you feel. Remember that everyone has good days and bad days, and the good outweighs the bad. Listening to positivity through earphones or outloud can help drown it out. That can be through podcasts, YouTube videos, people like Eric Thomas on Instagram and more.

If you haven't already, it's time to set goals for you to achieve over Coronavirus lockdown. Whether it's to spend more time learning to play the keyboard, or doing more that you love but never get to do, it might be worth setting goals. We don't really know when lockdown will be over but setting goals can help keep you productive over this period, and stop you looking back and realising you didn't do anything.

My life right now?

I had a call with Peter Andersson (CMO of Togee Technologies) to talk about how he could move his product (an interactive video call) from Stockholm, Sweden to the UK. This was really enjoyable to share my knowledge of the UK and marketing tactics with him.

I  know that I know a lot about marketing but I also have so much to learn, hence I read books, listen to podcasts, listen to vlogs, follow marketers etc.

I've been focusing a lot this week on connecting with people on LinkedIn that I can bring value to and also engaging in their posts. People like CEO's, Managing Directors and Heads of Marketing departments.

I've spend a lot of time on Quora this week, answering people's questions and using their questions to come up with content on LinkedIn too. If one person is asking the question, I can assure you, more than 1 person wants the answer.

I've been working with Leon Marseglia to create some graphics for his social media profile. I've been using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to do so. It's been really enjoyable and I am leaning to do more designs in my spare time, just for fun.

Finally, next weeks episode will be the final one of the chapter, then I will have a month or two break and come back with more exciting content. Next weeks episode will look more into reflecting over whats happened during this current chapter. I'll see you next Sunday (31/05/2020).

Have a great week.
