What's the difference between a good week and a bad week?

A week feels productive. You're energized and excited. A bad week feels draining, exhausting, and you feel like you worked a lot but got nothing done. In this episode, I talk with one the the Coaches in my membership program, Stephanie Waslyk.

Stephanie runs the Monday morning "Next 3 Steps" accountability groups for us. She's an expert at helping members go from overwhelmed and frustrated to having clarity & a weekly plan for the next 3 most important steps in their business. Like a laser beam, she can focus in on the BS work and switch it to the money making activities. In this episode you'll get her 6 ninja productivity steps + you can download the EXACT weekly worksheet we use for our members to keep them accountable and productive.

It's been such an emotional week. Our hearts are broken. In this week's episode, I'm listening. And that's all. Jane https://janehamill.com/

I was feeling "behind" for 3 straight days this week. Which caused me to NOT make much progress. It really sucked and I felt a low level of anxiety and deep frustration that I couldn;t quite pinpoint. Then I realized 2 things... 1) I had set a 30 day goal and was working towards it when I UPPED the goal in the middle of working on it. I changed the rules on myself. 2) I forgot the golden rule of productivity - there's a time to THINK and make a plan. And there's a time to ACT and implement the plan.

Think vs. Act.

These two can't happen at the same time. If they do, we second-guess our plan and our decisions. We start to think there's a "better" plan and our brain spins. Then we feel behind and nothing gets accomplished.

This episode explains what to do about it so you can achieve extreme productivity. Not to mention peace of mind - because feeling "behind" feels like crap. Show Notes: www.janehamill.com/feelingbehind Build a Following online workshop: www.janehamill.com/following

Today I'll teach you a quick & dirty video strategy to build a bigger audience and get more sales quickly.

If you hate the idea of being on video and being the face of your brand, you're not alone.

I hated being on video when I started and it's still not my favorite thing. However, making videos means making sales. COntent marketing is always effective for getting traffic and getting found online.

Marketing with VIDEO as your content format is so effective to boost the all important KLT factor (know, like, trust) of the buyers' journey.

So duh, I force myself to do them. They just work!! For me and for every single entrepreneur on the planet.

So let's agree that we can all feel stupid making videos, get over it right now, and get started.

I could have also called this episode "The 3 Video Prompts to Use So You Don't Feel Stupid Making Videos for Your Business".

Listen up to this episode and learn the 3 prompts, choose your favorite, and START. Simple as that. And when you do, head over and let me know what you did!! I LOVE hearing from you so leave a comment back on the blog. I can't wait to see what you say! LINK: www.janehamill.com/prompt Shall we work together? I teach creative entrepreneurs how to find the "right" customers, get traffic and get sales - without working 7 days a week.

I also got a TON of people reaching out to start a clothing / accessories product from scratch and inquiring about the steps to launch. (If that's you, go here: www.fashionbrainacademy.com/ndp).

The current state of the world is making us questions everything. EVERYTHING.

There's also a tremendous amount of creative energy right now. It's a huge silver lining to the Covid situation. This episode walks you through the 5 Q's you MUST ask yourself before you decide to pivot your current business or start a new one. I hope it helps you.
