    Starting a Youtube channel last year was one of the BEST decisions I've made in my business and certainly the best decision recently for visibility! What was holding me back from creating a channel for so long was the fact that I didn't see myself as an influencer. But what a lot of people don't know is that using Youtube for business is a super strategic move. The truth is, you don't have to share your entire life or vlog. Youtube is a great way to build credibility with your audience with free and valuable education. It's also a search engine, meaning it's an incredible way to reach so many new cold leads! In this episode, I talk about who Youtube is ideal for, how and why to use it in business, and the simply steps to get started with equipment and software.

That got my thinking about the idea of romanticizing your life! I have lots of thoughts for you today. Romanticizing your life is a form of mindfulness. It's about taking time to slow down and bring awareness to the moment. It's about living the life of your dreams right now. Let's face it, our lives have a hugh impact on how we perceive our lives. What if we directed our typically negative energy to believing the best about our lives?! Ask yourself, "What's the best that could happen?" Main character energy is investing in and advocating for yourself and doing things that make you happy. It's about taking life and yourself a little less seriously Listen to the episode to hear me talk through these transformative concepts.
