I work solely on the Squarespace platform and have embraced its esthetic beauty and ease of use. I work with people who have a strong vision for their business and I simply unearth what makes them shine. I tell your brand story through the same processes I used as a former newspaper reporter. I currently have a waitlist for website design projects, but you can reserve your place here.   Squarespace Circle Member Squarespace Authorized Trainer Background and philosophy   Better every day. That's the way I aspire to live.   I was born in 1973 in Philadelphia. My parents immigrated from Taipei and my dad's first job out of graduate school was in Philadelphia. I'm a die-hard Eagles fan and being raised in that city has shaped my identity. Hip-hop culture served as my first artistic influence. Run-DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys shaped how I created my own environment.   During the summer of O.J. trial I interned at the Philadelphia Daily News. I became hooked on journalism. I went on to another internship at the Des Moines Register and started my career as a business reporter for the Times of Trenton. I was the arts editor for the Honolulu Weekly and then the film critic for the Harrisburg Patriot-News.   Website design   I could see the end of the print industry so I decided to get a professional certificate in digital marketing from New York University. I started an agency with a partner doing SEO, PPC , content creation and website design. My partner decided to focus on software development and I turned my attention to website design.   Today I help small business owners shine online with compelling websites to resonate with their target audiences.   Personal interests   I'm a fitness enthusiast (CrossFit), watch collector (14060M, PAM112, SBGA085), and father (Matthew and Noemi).     Stay Connected: Benoy Thanjan Email: info@reneuenergy.com  LinkedIn: Benoy Thanjan Website: https://www.reneuenergy.com   Li Wang Email:  li@littleoxworkshop.com Website:  https://www.littleoxworkshop.com     Book Recommendations George Lucas: A Life by Brian Jay Jones   https://www.amazon.com/George-Lucas-Brian-Jay-Jones-ebook/dp/B01DSTTRBW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RBXXD7XKH43Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-IoPSlTJA5SNa2QBh6cfyG75T1muc08nEtyk-Xm4ULq6hohaS7ohX9zo6eAXsh9duyxUDygHDy43QZwusNtOBpIDp019XuhNKrAiGhJ6dUN4uS6vXPtfxvhfYMvkm_amPYdRWsYF9Pl16rqzdE6vJ65eKWhxQlEYSldTgD_e6c1kVrOFUKiALgl1FppeMDYPVlAKggKEBLUPbF5ZDfip8Tl0PO5SnMj1TN7Vn8wd9Jg.3kIAOYFE-qXr6_u1jEkilLJsWqPkXPqb-_ytmG0gSEM&dib_tag=se&keywords=george+lucas+book&qid=1741022082&sprefix=george+lucas%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1     How to Start Worry and Start Living by Dale Carnegie https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000N3SO9I/?bestFormat=true&k=how%20to%20start%20worrying%20and%20start%20living&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_16&crid=2YEBAKJ2VEJW2&sprefix=how%20ot%20start%20wor     Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break-ebook/dp/B07D23CFGR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EFELZ83PXDEE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.y8ep0gjO0LaPjilbBqM79Xc2YZxFFvDOy7Lc27uggak-q5YmV5RsUlyRu-CTr0npJ0gRUx0ASicl9MOtJyk6fGTJ0Xxd_XDVFXJvb0BcmZ6vwNqmBzA93KU45puZNkdVopAqqtIUFTo2KYCA7-FJzr0371JvAVDlwQ7CSTShNRN-ggiCHNBVjWziBnegWzCkyP-xlax-3lklbAtiFh-3vYOZr3tuO8IgL4BHttFHJEE.ZO5fa3V0ar5nZ8XBYE6kqezA8wGK2ShncgzV9u9TqEY&dib_tag=se&keywords=atomic+habits&qid=1741022424&sprefix=atomic%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-1     The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime by MJ DeMarco https://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Fastlane-Crack-Wealth-Lifetime-ebook/dp/B004BDOUAI/ref=sr_1_1?crid=K46KWSB09QMW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.z4MidZRm4ZWE0T1HY7abuwdeo5CqTw10yZQVXYGCxm9DNaZTpMC_23RRaoL8h8-wnOy1BK3Rov0urj7ai8FISV54JO5KAlx_iBOMAydfX0zeWL6hKJ_oLbsHJeVGcFjo4joyU6H5OKeK8ncIQ0RuZJ7j-2v4TCrfEL6JYdeweYwUDkMM9L0DSV3B7BDed7DnYCVgfMJgzBXhqTvYNwjOuimnJsQA-aMtW7OYgz8Zvts.tSyBkDMxEzpxkotL3Me02V25R6WP4caU8e66-MLlea0&dib_tag=se&keywords=millionaire+fastlane+by+mj+demarco&qid=1741022902&sprefix=milionair+f%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-1       Thought Leaders in Renewable Energy on Linkedin   Abby Hopper   https://www.linkedin.com/in/abby-hopper-a3415527/   Jigar Shah https://www.linkedin.com/in/jigarshahdc/   John Moran https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-moran-03a3b3a/

In this thought-provoking episode of the Moonshots Podcast, hosts Mike and Mark unpack the groundbreaking insights of James Clear's Atomic Habits. Known for its highly actionable approach, Clear's book presents a powerful system for personal and professional growth, showing how small changes can compound into significant life transformations.The hosts begin with a compelling discussion on why habits are crucial for long-term success. They share Clear's philosophy that habits aren't just about behavior but about cultivating an identity. Clear's unique method focuses on “identity-based habits,” encouraging us to adopt habits that reflect the kind of person we aspire to become rather than merely aiming for specific outcomes. Mike and Mark dig into the mechanics behind this shift, offering listeners ways to create habits that align with their values and vision for the future.Moving into behavior and mindset change, Mike and Mark explore Clear's Four Laws of Behavior Change: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. This system is a roadmap for cultivating good habits and eradicating bad ones. They discuss Clear's advice on stimulating both mind and body, emphasizing the importance of reading, physical activity, and continuous learning as habits that boost productivity and enhance overall well-being.Episode Resources:• Episode Page on Moonshots.io• Atomic Habits Summary by Apollo Advisor• Watch on YouTubeThe episode also tackles the challenge of breaking bad habits. Mike and Mark explore Clear's insights into understanding and interrupting the cues that trigger unproductive behaviors, providing strategies for listeners to regain control and replace harmful patterns with constructive ones. They delve into Clear's recommendation of becoming an “expert through practice,” emphasizing that mastery in any field comes from consistent practice and dedication.Shifting focus, they examine how planning and goal-setting can significantly impact habit formation. Citing Clear's research on implementation intentions, they discuss how setting explicit “if-then” scenarios can help people follow through on new habits, especially during challenging moments. Additionally, they consider Clear's counterintuitive stance that while goals are essential, the systems we create ultimately lead to sustainable success, particularly in a business context.In the Studies and Experiments segment, listeners will learn about the science behind habit-building and how small, intentional actions lead to lasting change. Mike and Mark reflect on Clear's research into planning and control, offering listeners practical tips for creating habits that stick. Finally, they wrap up with a discussion on the common question: How long does it take to develop a new habit? Spoiler: it's more about consistency and mindset than a specific timeline.This episode is packed with actionable takeaways for anyone looking to build positive habits, break away from negative ones, and create a life driven by purpose and improvement.

In this episode, Shannon Waller and guest Steve Heroux discuss the importance of sales coaching and understanding Sales DNA profiles. Steve addresses the negative perceptions of sales and the challenges entrepreneurs face in hiring effective salespeople, and offers actionable insights to transform sales culture. Tune in for a fresh perspective on finding and nurturing great sales talent! Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: Effective sales coaching is essential for developing a high-performing sales team and should focus on individual strengths and weaknesses. Understanding the Sales DNA profile can help identify the unique strengths of salespeople, allowing for tailored coaching and training strategies. The sales profession often suffers from a negative perception, with many seeing salespeople as pushy or manipulative, which can hinder effective selling. Sales leaders play a crucial role in shaping the culture and practices of their sales teams. Poor leadership can perpetuate negative stereotypes about sales. Finding the right salespeople is challenging, which means entrepreneurs must prioritize hiring individuals who align with the company's values and customer needs. One-size-fits-all training programs are ineffective. Custom training based on the Sales DNA profile can lead to better results. Trust is a critical component in sales. Building genuine relationships with clients can counteract the negative stereotypes associated with sales. Many entrepreneurs struggle with sales because they excel in product development but lack sales expertise, leading to potential business failures. Defining an ideal customer profile helps sales teams focus their efforts on prospects that are more likely to convert and benefit from the product or service. Teaching salespeople to say no to unsuitable prospects is vital; just because someone is willing to buy doesn't mean they should. Salespeople are motivated by personal goals and family needs. Leaders should align company objectives with these motivations to foster engagement. There is a need for a cultural shift in how sales is perceived and practiced, moving away from aggressive tactics to a more consultative approach. Providing sales teams with the right tools and resources, including training and technology, is essential for empowering them to succeed. The sales landscape is constantly evolving; ongoing training and development is necessary to keep sales teams competitive. Focusing on building long-term relationships with clients rather than short-term sales can lead to greater success and customer loyalty.

Atomic Habits For Transformation – the topic of today's episode. I've decided to share with you thoughts and ideas from James Clear's book, Atomic Habits. The subtitle is, An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones. This book has been recommended by dozens of guests who have been featured on Mindfulness Mode. Do you find yourself being challenged with unproductive habits? Do you set out to cultivate positive habits that promise to transform your life, only to find them slipping away? In Atomic Habits, James Clear illuminates the profound impact the right habits can have on your life. To truly harness this power, you need to delve into the mechanics of how habits work and how to reshape them. When you read this book, you'll realize that James deeply understands habits and how they work. Listen & Subscribe on: iTunes / Stitcher / Podbean / Overcast / Spotify Contact Info Website: www.MindfulnessMode.com Atomic Habits, the book, will help you uncover the critical importance of habits and the three mindsets essential for cultivating them. You'll also learn about the formation of habits and the four crucial strategies for altering them. Moreover, you'll find strategies to refine and enhance the habits you've already established continuously. If you read this book, you'll learn about insights from other psychologists and experts on habit formation, exploring how Clear's ideas resonate with or differ from theirs.   Law 1 – Make It Obvious To build and break habits effectively, awareness is crucial. Human minds respond to cues, leading to automatic behaviors. For example, museum curators can identify authentic art due to repeated exposure and subtle cues. Harness this by using habit scorecards, checklists of daily activities categorized as positive, negative, or neutral. This helps identify patterns that aid or hinder progress. By listing and rating your habits, you can understand how your behaviors impact productivity and become more aware of their triggers. This awareness is the first step to making your desired habits obvious and actionable. Law 2 – Make It Attractive In his second law, James Clear explains that habits operate on a dopamine-driven feedback loop, where increased dopamine levels enhance the urge to act due to reward anticipation. He suggests using temptation bundling, pairing a desired activity with a necessary one. For example, designate work blocks and reward yourself with a favorite podcast during breaks. Combine this with habit stacking for greater effect: after completing a current habit, follow with a necessary task, then a desired reward. Surround yourself with positive influences to boost motivation. To break bad habits, shift your mindset from “have to” to “get to,” associating difficult habits with positive experiences. Law 3 – Make It Easy “The most effective form of learning is practice, not planning.” Repeating a habit solidifies it in your brain, leading to physical changes and increased efficiency. Clear emphasizes that frequency matters more than duration in habit formation. Humans prefer the path of least effort, making environmental shifts crucial. For example, when introducing new software, ease the transition with training and support. The two-minute rule suggests starting new habits with tasks under two minutes, like reading a page daily. To break bad habits, make them impractical; use tools like app blockers to limit distractions. These strategies simplify habit formation and disruption. Law 4 – Make It Satisfying You are more likely to repeat a behavior if it is satisfying. Clear explains that humans prioritize immediate rewards over delayed ones. The key to behavior change is that “what is immediately rewarded is repeated; what is immediately punished is avoided.” To make habits stick, you must feel an immediate sense of success. Applying Clear's laws—making habits obvious, appealing, and effortless—increases your chances of repeating them. For instance, rewarding yourself with a smoothie after exercising links the activity to a positive experience, encouraging repetition. Use a habit tracker to visualize progress and consider an accountability partner to stay motivated and committed. Summary In Atomic Habits, James Clear emphasizes the importance of creating identity-driven habits for lasting behavior change. Unlike goal-driven habits, which often lead to temporary actions, identity-driven habits align with your self-image, fostering sustainable change. Clear argues that focusing on who you want to become rather than what you want to achieve ensures continuous improvement. For example, if you study two extra hours daily to ace a test, this goal-driven habit ends once the goal is met. However, by adopting the identity of a dedicated learner, you continuously engage in study habits, leading to overall academic improvement. This shift from finite goals to ongoing identity transformation is key to developing enduring, positive habits. I hope these highlights from James Clears' book are helpful for you and inspire you to get the book and read it.

I am on my head, and emotions scare me to death. I have big ones because I'm also an empath. I learned from a counselor that my emotions are like a screen door. Allow the wind to blow through, and don't try to close the door; just let it blow through. If you don't, the door will come off its hinges, and you will have problems. I see my emotions as waves. Sometimes, the waves are big, but the easiest way to survive a big wave is to stand there and let it hit you and then come back up. Thoughts On Breathing Box breathing is very helpful. I also get heart palpitations. One of the first YouTube videos I put out there is about how to manage the anxiety that I've had for years. I often lie down and breathe. Box breathing is helpful, but I can also hyperventilate easily. So I lay down, breathe straight from my belly, think about it, and count my numbers. It is amazing how quickly that calms my nervous system. Bullying Story I was the chubby kid. I grew up overseas, and my parents were missionaries. So, I went to an international School in Seoul, Korea. In the 1970s, obesity was not what it is now. We didn't understand it or have as much of it. Being the chubby kid, I was always picked on. I was not bullied the way we see it happen in severe cases. A kid came behind me in 5th grade and stomped his feet as if I was shaking the ground as I walked. He was much smaller than me, so I turned around and leveled him. In a situation like that, it would have been nice to have had some mindfulness and to be able to say this is his issue, not mine. But at 10 years old, you don't have that.

Harv Eker Effect On Emotions Since I've coached so many people, I feel like I've learned the skills to be able to automatically go there. Obviously, when it comes to personal relationships like marriage, everything's a little bit heightened. With friends, you can operate in one world. With parents, siblings, your wife, your husband, you're needing to set a different skill set and have boundaries. In business I can handle emotions very calmly. Thoughts On Breathing When I was teaching acting, breathing was definitely an element of it. Many times I will find myself not breathing enough. I will say to even clients when they're going in. Let's say they're auditioning for a big series when they're actors. It is important that you actually shift the other person's breathing. I found that if you're intentional about going into any meeting, if you can shift the other person's breathing within the meeting, you've connected on a whole different level. Bullying Story I've seen a lot of kids that have been bullied in the process. I had one actor whose friends at school did not appreciate his acting and they would gang up on him and make fun of him because he was not playing sports. We had to come up with a plan. He ultimately had to be removed from the school he was attending and move to another school where he could be in a creative arts program.

Paying attention to your breath can help you handle tough emotions like a pro. It's like having a secret power to stay cool when things get tough. Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise Here is a diaphragmatic breathing exercise: Find a Comfortable Position: Sit in a comfortable chair or cross-legged on the floor. Make sure your back is straight and your shoulders are relaxed. Place Your Hands: Put one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen, just below your ribcage. This will help you feel the movement of your diaphragm. Inhale Slowly: Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to expand. Feel your diaphragm moving downward as your lungs fill with air. Try to keep your chest still during this phase. Exhale Slowly: Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth, feeling your abdomen contract. The hand on your chest should remain relatively still. Repeat: Continue this slow and controlled breathing pattern. Inhale through your nose, allowing your abdomen to rise, and exhale through your mouth, feeling your abdomen fall. Focus on the Breath: As you breathe, focus your attention on the sensation of the breath entering and leaving your body. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath. Practice Regularly: Aim for 5-10 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing. You can gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable with the technique. Box Breathing Exercise Box breathing, also known as square breathing, is a simple yet effective technique. Here's how you can practice it: Sit Comfortably: Find a comfortable seated position. Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor and your hands resting on your knees. Breathe In (Inhale): Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose. Count to four as you take in the breath. Imagine filling your lungs completely. Hold Your Breath (Pause): At the top of your inhale, hold your breath for a count of four. Keep your lungs comfortably filled with air during this pause. Breathe Out (Exhale): Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth for a count of four. Focus on emptying your lungs entirely. Pause Again (Hold): At the end of your exhale, pause and hold your breath for another count of four. Keep your body in a relaxed state during this brief pause. Repeat the Cycle: Continue this cycle of breathing – inhaling for four counts, holding for four counts, exhaling for four counts, and holding for four counts. Focus on the Pattern: As you practice, focus your mind on the rhythmic and repetitive pattern of the breath. Let go of any distracting thoughts and concentrate on the sensation of your breath. Practice Regularly: Aim to practice box breathing for 5-10 minutes. You can adjust the count based on your comfort level, but maintaining equal counts for each phase is key. Box breathing is a great technique for promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing focus. You can use it as a quick exercise during moments of tension or make it a part of your daily mindfulness routine.

James Clear grew up dreaming of becoming a professional baseball player.
