Jess knew she wanted to work on her own terms. What she didn't know, was what a virtual assistant was. And yet when an opportunity came up to be one, to work remotely and become freelance... she jumped at it. As years went by the amount of work started to overwhelm her. So she hired her own virtual assistants to help out... and her company Don't Panic Management was born. Everything 'virtual' had gradually become very real. Jess' story is one of going with the flow, swep along by hard work, consideration and seizing opportunities. Learning the ropes of managing people, managing the finances and managing not to panic. Instead, for the first time, to properly plan a future... Love learning from other freelancers like this? Check out the website beingfreelance.com, subscribe to the podcast and to the newsletter.

If you haven't seen your friends douse themselves in ice to support ALS research yet, you're probably living under a rock. The ALS Ice Bucket challenge has raised over $13.3 million (compared to $1.7 million last year) and has over 260,000 new donors.Why is the ice bucket challenge so effective? 2 reasons:1) It plays on the power of video, which is much more visceral and experiential than text or photo could ever be.2) It happened concurrently with the new Facebook update that now allows videos to autoplay in your news feed.The other important reason this challenge has succeeded is that it wasn't ALS who asked people to dump ice on their heads, it's friends. And while we may not all have a personal connection to ALS, we do have personal connections to our colleagues and friends so we want to support the cause in their honor.This is a lesson that all businesses, not just non-profits can learn from: Social media is about people, not logos, and it's the individual connectivity that makes campaigns successful.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/jaybaer00SPROUT SOCIAL SHOUT OUTToday's Sprout Social shout out is a three-part challenge to Sally Hogshead (http://twitter.com/sallyhogshead), author of the new book, How the World Sees You (http://www.amazon.com/How-World-Sees-... Rory Vaden (http://twitter.com/rory_vaden), best-selling author of Take the Stairs (http://www.southwesternconsulting.com... and Jess Ostroff (http://twitter.com/jessostroff), Managing Editor at Convince & Convert and Director of Calm at Don't Panic Management (http://dontpanicmgmt.com). You have 24 hours to complete the ice bucket challenge and/or donate $100 to ALS research!OUR SPONSORSCandidio (http://candidio.com), a simple and affordable video production company.

Delta recently sent me an email telling me that in order to keep the same frequent flyer rewards, I have to spend more money. They said, "If everyone is a frequent flyer, no one is a frequent flyer."   Really, Delta? You couldn't just tell me that your costs are going up and that you need to change the structure of your program? Instead you had to come up with some story about how frequent flyers and non-frequent flyers can't be in the same tier? This is bad form, and I think Delta is losing a lot of trust from its loyal customers by doing this.   When you wrap up your information in a load of crap, your customers will trust you less, not more, so don't underestimate them. They're smarter than you think.   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/jaybaer00   SPROUT SOCIAL SHOUT OUT   Today's Sprout Social shout out goes to Jess Ostroff (http://twitter.com/jessostroff), founder of Don't Panic Management (http://dontpanicmgmt.com) and Managing Editor of Convince & Convert (http://convinceandconvert.com).
