            Not only do we have the same business goals and objectives as well as home and family obligations we have a full time job that is a monster in and of itself to manage our time with.

And yes we chose this life and we can quit and throw in the towel at any moment if we want, but not us girls because we are World Changers and we never quit!

I know getting started with your Side Hustle has not been easy we feel overworked

 With our ever growing to do list - website, networking, social media, content, products or services, clients, etc.

Underwhelmed with results so far, not seeing the amazing results some of your Entrepreneurial friends? 

Your gift is for you; you were hand-picked for this mission, only you have the gifts, skills and talent to finish it.

But I digress this morning as my Pastor  was speaking about the Time we have here being a gift with an expiration date; being accountable with how we spend it.

So let that sink in them 2 bombs he dropped, we all know our time here will end for certain no one here is invincible and will live forever as much as the movies are selling that dream these days. As far as we know (side eye).

But he made such an impact on me today with saying we have time for what we want with the analogy of if you got free ticket to your favorite xyz you would find the time right oh all of a sudden a gap opened up in your calendar :)

 For every yes we say, there is a no to something else, let’s just make sure we value our Relationships and don’t miss out on what’s really important.

Awesome Apps for Social Media

Awesome Apps for Social Media that I use daily to keep me on top of my Social Media game.

Apps

Buffer- Content Curation scheduler: This app keeps me from doing social media all day every day, working smart and not hard by taking already created content that I find useful for my business and sharing it at specified times throughout the week.

· Feedly- Content Curator: Up to date Content from blogs that I love, that is laid out in a cool magazine style format. · IFTTT: This tool is awesome for automatically doing some of those repetitive tasks.

· Word Swag: Create pretty Graphic quotes super simple and free with optional upgrade

What is a Facebook Fan Page and why do you need one? A Fan Page is a page you can create for free on Facebook to promote your business or Passion Project.

The benefit of having a Fan Page on Facebook verses promoting yourself on the regular news feed is so you don't spam your friends with information that may not interest them. It also lends credibility to your business. A fan Page is a good starting option for folks just starting up a new business especially if its a "trial" project to see what kind of interest is out there for the business model.

In today's episode we cover the best practices to do when getting started with using Facebook Fan Pages, as well as some really common mistakes to avoid.

Key Takeaways

To Do's

Link your Website

Content is super important

Add Value

Post lots of pictures and video. live streaming services like Periscope and Blab make it super easy to utilize video on your page.

Add a CTA "Call to Action" button on your page. It can be anything you want your Tribe to do, such as sign up for your email list or subscribe to your Podcast.

No No's to Avoid

Do not SPAM your friends with your Fan Page. Yes, the Fan Page is for boosting your business, but be mindful not to only post "buy my xyz product/service".

Do NOT auto subscribe your friends to your page. send them an invitation to like your page once it's set up.

Do not post negative comments or go on a rant.

Post helpful content for your peeps on a regular basis.

Today’s show we will learn to Quit thinking small when it comes to the Vision we have

For our Passion Project. To become a Success at anything we do in life it will require us

To see things from a different perspective. It’s time to go to another level and we can’t get there

With the thinking that got us to now. We have to expand what is possible in our Entrepreneurial

Journey even to ourselves sometimes.  

What is a Mastermind and how will help you…

·         See the forest from the trees

·         Get different points of view

·         Get and give support

Elevating Mindset

·         Everyone is not wired to be a boss somebody gotta be a worker

·         Some people don’t have a reference of more

·         Can’t go where you can’t see.

Expand your Territory EXPECT MORE

·         Be mindful of your vision

·         You are a World Changer

·         From the ground you can’t see what’s happening down the road but from above you can see everything

·         Too close to see the reality of the situation

·         Put an expectation bigger that you can ever imagine

Everyone will not see your vision

·         You will have dream thieves

·         The reality of the situation, doesn’t negate the possibility

·         Never let anyone crush your dream

·         God puts everything you need for you to be successful with the vision

What I learned from the best at Podcast Movement 2015

I am still reeling from information overload almost a month after Podcast Movement '15! 

The organizers did such an awesome job with bringing some of the best in the industry to impart massive Epic content to us.

 I and everyone I connected with at the conference and online afterwards have concurred that this is definitely the one you need to attend.

 Lord willing, I will definitely be in Chicago next year. I encourage you to buy the Virtual ticket and get what you can and make sure you don't miss out next year. 

Before you go though make sure and take my Conference  tips to help you be prepared.
