Have you ever longed for having clear purpose?

Have you ever felt "called" to do a certain thing or a profession?

Do you want to encourage others?

Do you feel led to make the world a better place?

Are you an illustrator or designer but aren't sure how to market your work or your skills?

Have you ever met someone who is so filled with joy it is contagious? Do you want some of that joy? This week my good friend, Jodi Miller will share how she left Fear at an airport in Denver and never looked back and her new companion was Joy.

There will definitely be some sharing of what Jesus did for Jodi this week.

Jodi doesn't walk in that same fear now. She has worked for Eddie Bauer Home, Tommy Bahama, Two Old Hippies, and a plethora of others but now Jodi says she is a full-time freelancer for God. God is using Jodi's talents and heart to help others in her Boise Idaho art community, with refugees, and people who are hurting through her experiential art shows, her church, and her revival group called the Collective.

How do you learn? What tools and resources have you used to get you further? What happens when you get into a subject and decide you don't like it? What do you do when you need to pivot to move ahead?

Episode 283. Airs Wednesday, January 16 at 2:30pm ET / 11:30am PT.

Things happen, things happen we don't plan for. What do you do when life's water balloon explodes inside your house? This week we had to pivot and we will be doing our episode with Adam Grason soon I promise. But we had to reschedule.

I thought what a good time to do a meet-up again. When a few of us (max 100) pop online and talk about a topic. Since last week's episode, I have been thinking about how we pivot as we are finding new things we want to learn. Want to talk about that and other ways and resources you have found to learn?

There is a lot more to this post. Want to read it? Go here if you do. www.rechargingyou.com/283

How do you decide where to go to learn?

Do you know where to find deals?

Do you know how to find trusted, industry leaders who are teaching the subjects you need to learn?

Do you have these learning goals connected directly to new client work or being more marketable for applying for a new job?

Episode 282. Aired Wednesday, January 9, 2019.

This week I am happy to share a little tid-bit of some of the online learning I have done. And why I have chosen some of these courses. I have also found some deals and want to share those with you and when those deals come out so you can plan for them for next year.

My favorite way to build websites is with the Elementor Plugin that works with almost any theme. Making almost any theme invincible, this plugin has changed the way I have been able to design websites. This plugin is the elementor plugin. Seriously a game changer, I fell in love with after using it to build a site from scratch. Not only was it doing the custom css code for me it also made the speed at which I was able to finish the site 10X faster. I am now loading this plugin to all my client sites. Where other plugins fell short elementor used common sense and was so easy to understand and implement with.

I am loving the elementor plugin, total game changer. Use this affiliate link to purchase the plan right for you. http://bit.ly/DRelementor

My favorite theme to use which works great with the Elementor plugin is the Elegant Themes’ Divi theme. Talk about making custom web design easy. It is the only theme I need. Based off of a grid system and now with a visual builder, you can now customize your website super easy with this wordpress theme. Elegant themes puts out tutorials and are always updating the theme to make it more robust and easier to use. You can pay per year or do what I did and do the lifetime membership at $250 then you can put it on as many websites as you want.

Audible has changed my business and my life. I listen to more books than I physically read nowadays. I listen when I workout, when I mow and I have a long commute. I have been able to listen to books during those times and these books and this app has really helped my business grow. I have the gold membership, I get a new credit each month for less than $15. Less than the price of the book I am purchasing. I have been a member since 2010 and LOVE it.

Try Audible and get 2 free books:
