Content creation, automation of content, a bank of content to rely on, content tools, you get the idea, and hopefully by now you’ve realised that a whole bucket load of research and insight, segmentation, targeting and positioning, strategic thinking and tactical thought is required before we even get to think about any type of content. But when we do get to that stage, it’s always good to have a helping hand. Andy Lambert is one man that can help you. Not only is he one of the founding members of ContentCal (a content marketing platform that brings content marketing strategy, workflow and management together), but he is full of tips, actionable insights and a brain full of the latest social news. In this episode we cover; - What makes a good content strategy - Maximise your content and creative - Paid v organic - Where to get content ideas - Using stats to develop better content Watch the episode video: https://youtu.be/1eSqk6nNL-g Takeaways Top Tip Where to start is actually the top tip! And this is with good research. Good research into the content that is performing well in your field, search volumes, your customers persona and also influencers that are prominent within your space. Research these topics and your content foundations will be solid. Favourite Quote When discussing the paid v organic debate, Andy’s recent research discovered that ‘93% of Marketing Managers said they would be increasing their organic content output’ which highlights that doing good creative work that people want to consume is hugely important. You can’t ignore the paid, but valuable organic content is a must And Finally, the Most Important Takeaway from this Episode On the topic of paid v organic, Andy suggested a 70/30 split towards the organic, which makes perfect sense. Remember – top of the funnel think paid, bottom of the funnel think organic (hugely generic I know and this is debatable, but on one listens to the end of podcasts anyway)!

About the Episode On this episode, I’m joined by tech entrepreneur, and founder of Yodle Inc and OJOLabs, John Berkowitz, a man who is revolutionizing how consumers make decisions with what he calls “the most expensive refrigerator magnet for agents.” After starting Yodle in college and growing it to a tech brand that sold for over $300 million, and dealing with some of the challenges and stresses that come with being a first-time founder, John decided to build a business that could allow him to make a bigger impact, and he found something that fulfilled his priority for a high-magnitude opportunity.     Building meaningful business platforms that defy the status-quo has long been in John’s DNA. Fueled with the vision to build a product that would truly meet and serve consumers’ needs for valuable information, John co-founded and launched OJO Labs in 2015. OJO Labs has quickly become a leader in conversational AI technology with a powerful team working toward developing the best product possible, and a sizable opportunity meeting the perfect set of resources along key partnerships at the right time. John’s dedication to establishing a positive work environment has resulted in OJO Labs being recognized among the best places to work nationally by Inc. Magazine, Fortune Magazine, Built In and Comparably, and regionally by the Austin Chamber of Commerce and Austin Business Journal multiple years in a row. Recently, John was named to Swanepoel’s SP200 and The Most Powerful Technology Executives in The Residential Real Estate Brokerage Industry list.   Understanding the pains of what it means to run your own business and be fully accountable, and the level of responsibility to serve the end user is what drives him, and that’s what drove the creation of OJO.    There are so many challenges that come with running a business, and what people don’t talk about is how much long-term stress the people who run these businesses take on. In order to overcome the stress, it’s important to have a greater goal or purpose behind the business because that’s what will fuel them through all of the phases, and fuel them to stay focused on what matters.     The thing about business is, whether you run a small company or a large operation; no matter what reason you have for being in business, the journey is not easy. Companies are really hard to build and maintain, and what makes it easier is really having a North star that guides you, and being driven by the mission to solve a problem, not the outcome. If we’re driven by that we’ll always focus on what will benefit the end-user. In Today’s Episode, We Talk About; - John’s journey as an entrepreneur prior to real estate and starting Yodle at 21.  - Exiting Yodle and the importance of being led by value not the goal to exit the business.  - Entrepreneurial PTSD and the challenges founders face  - The journey of OJOLabs and why John chose it as his next venture after Yodle. - The difference between real AI and what people say AI is. - Scaling and its connection to a lack of entrepreneurial desire.  - What John is excited about, what he has changed his mind on and something surprising about him.  - The value of earned trust, and why it’s what makes a real difference in business.  What doesn’t exist today is a consumer trusting a product or company  Guest Info   John Berkowitz is the Co-founder and CEO of OJO Labs, an Austin-based company that has quickly become a leader in conversational AI technology. With the application of its patented AI, OJO empowers people to make better decisions through the fusion of machine and human intelligence by automating lead conversations for agents and creating data-driven, personalized experiences for consumers. John’s track record of building and scaling successful, mission-driven technology companies with award-winning workplaces paved the way for the formation of OJO in 2015. John’s dedication toward building a positive work environment led to OJO being named to Comparably’s 2018 Best Company Culture list, and Built In Austin’s Best Places to Work in 2019.    Prior to founding OJO, John co-founded Yodle, and was instrumental in building it into a $200M+ revenue leader in the online marketing space with more than 50,000 SMB customers and over 1,400 employees. In February 2016, Yodle was acquired by Web.com in a $342 million all cash transaction. Recently, John was named to Swanepoel’s SP200 and The Most Powerful Technology Executives in The Residential Real Estate Brokerage Industry list. John is actively involved in nonprofits, and currently serves as CASA’s board president, using his entrepreneurial background and resources to fight for the welfare of children in the communities he operates in.

About the Episode On this episode, I talk to mega-influencer, media and entrepreneurship powerhouse, Gary Vaynerchuk, a man who has revolutionized how business owners communicate and operate. Through his business ventures, Gary has been able to build massive companies that aren’t just successful in terms of social media popularity, but also run as well oiled machines operationally, something many entities struggle with. Gary’s businesses have been successful because he understands the importance of patience when building something that can dominate for years.    Gary Vaynerchuk is the chairman of VaynerX, a modern-day media and communications holding company and the active CEO of VaynerMedia, a full-service advertising agency servicing Fortune 100 clients across the company’s 4 locations.   In addition to VaynerMedia, VaynerX also includes Gallery Media Group, which houses women’s lifestyle brand PureWow and men's lifestyle brand ONE37pm. In addition to running VaynerMedia, Gary also serves as a partner in the athlete representation agency VaynerSports, cannabis-focused branding and marketing agency Green Street and restaurant reservations app Resy.   Gary is a highly sought after public speaker, a 5-time New York Times bestselling author, as well as a prolific angel investor with early investments in companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Venmo, and Uber.   Gary is currently the subject of DailyVee, an online documentary series highlighting what it’s like to be a CEO and public figure in today’s digital world, as well the host of The GaryVee Audio Experience, a top 100 global podcast, and host of #AskGaryVee, a business and advice Q&A show which can be found on both YouTube and Facebook. Gary also appeared as judge in Apple’s first original series “Planet of the Apps” alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba and Will.i.am.   As business owners, we are often so focused on short-term ROI that we kill our own long-term success. Gary’s success at building massive, solid and profitable companies comes down to his ability to put his focus on the future, not getting instant gratification now.      In Today’s Episode, We Talk About; Why we shouldn’t be too worried about short-term ROI.  How to practice patience with an unknown future looming over our heads.  The most misunderstood thing about Gary Vee.

About the Episode On this episode, I’m joined by Todd Sherer, CEO & Founder of Fleq; a company that’s revolutionizing what homeownership means; and instead of forcing people down the path of getting a mortgage, giving them a pathway to experience homeownership.   FLEQ is a fascinating concept that’s gotten many people talking because it adds important factors and points to the homeownership conversation. In an age where many young people are opting not to own homes, many have argued that traditional homeownership is on its way out. What Todd has done is give people “Flexible Equity”, a sustainable way to get people into homeownership, and a housing option that is attainable, flexible, affordable, sustainable and convenient. FLEQ has taken pieces of homeownership, timeshare and renting and they’ve created a new model and a completely new housing structure.    Todd is an experienced founder with a demonstrated history of working in the real estate finance and the investment management industries. He is skilled in Asset Management, Mortgage-Backed Security (MBS), Real Estate Finance, and Capital Markets. His knowledge of mortgage originations and servicing has also contributed to Todd’s success.    There are many people who are locked out of homeownership, by circumstance or by choice. Instead of having these people feel like they are constantly reaching for something they can never have, why not craft a product that suits them. This is where the FLEQ alliance comes in, homeownership that meets people where they are, and gives them flexibility, convenience and sustainable affordability.  In Today’s Episode, We Talk About;   - How Todd got started in his career, and the aha moment that made him decide to fight a system as entrenched as mortgage.  - The two dynamics that challenge home ownership, and the 4 hurdles of housing.  - How the FLEQ concept of buying a home without a mortgage works, and frictionless relocation.  - The difference between a mortgage and an alliance, and creating a homeownership tool that’s more like a swiss army knife.  - The freedom that FLEQ gives to their alliance members.  - The most misunderstood thing about FLEQ.  - How Fleq is actually adding dollars to Realtors by expanding the home ownership market.  Guest Info   Todd is the CEO and Founder of FLEQ, a company that believes home ownership is attainable without a large down payment, without difficult credit standards, taking on massive amounts of debt, and without long-term commitments.  Website: https://fleq.com/ Contact: info@fleq.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/todd-sherer-0775647/

About the Episode On this episode, I’m joined by former real estate agent and now tech company founder and owner, Chris Jones. His platform, Guerilla Realty provides lead generation and valuable tools and resources to real estate agents, and its success is rooted in Chris’ own experience selling homes. It is a business founder on the internal need of his real estate company, and ultimately Chris discovered that there was a market need for what he was providing. Chris joins us to talk about his journey, success, lessons and losses along the way.  Chris is the co-founder and owner of Guerilla Realty. When he was an agent, he found himself working 90+ hours per week doing everything he was “supposed to do”, but still not selling any houses. That’s when he threw everything he knew out the window and went back to his technology background. He together some primitive lead capture tools and then ran free ads to people he were buying, and his business exploded. That’s how Guerilla Realty was born.      In Today’s Episode, We Talk About;   On this episode we discussed; How Chris got into real estate, and  How he eventually made the choice to go into software full-time.  How they grew their team by giving out free tools.  Something he’s excited about, something he has changed his might on and something many people don’t know about him.  Why Chris doesn’t do marketing to scale anymore. 

About the Episode On this episode, I’m joined by real estate entrepreneur, speaker, coach, trainer, and Ylopo Realtor in Residence, Barry Jenkins. With a career that has spanned over 2 decades, and the unique setup of running two teams at the same time, Barry brings a ton of experience to the table. His real estate knowledge led him to become a consultant at Ylopo, and now he has a high-level role.    There’s a lot of outside influences coming into the real estate space, and it has been great for our industry to get refreshed by disruptors. But at the same time, these tech disruptors coming into our industry, also need a real estate agent’s insider knowledge to bridge the gap between tech and real estate. This is the space Barry has stepped into by partnering with Ylopo.    Barry began his career at the age of 18 and has spanned two decades. He currently runs two teams in Virginia Beach, Va. and his teams consistently produce over 200-250 a year for several years in a row. This is with Barry in the office part-time. He is also an executive with Ylopo as the Realtor in Residence where he also trains their users. His passion is Wife, two children, and their little dog. His systems allow him to leverage technology so he can spend time with them.   No matter how much the real estate industry changes, there’ll always be massive opportunities for the agents and companies who come from a place of contribution, and keep our fingers on the pulse of consumer needs. What the consumer needs now more than ever are agents who can start talking to them earlier in the buying process, especially when there are so many options and it can be hard for them to know what to do. If we provide this guidance, we’ll always be relevant.  In Today’s Episode, We Talk About;   01:05 - What got Barry interested in real estate, and how he went from selling shoes to real estate.  - How he runs two real estate teams at the same time.  - Why Barry wanted a tech-driven team.  - What it takes to achieve success in real estate.  - Barry’s role as Realtor in residence at Ylopo.  - What Barry’s excited about, what he has changed his might on and what many people don’t know about him.  Guest Info   Barry began his career at the age of 18 and has spanned two decades. He currently runs two teams in Virginia Beach, Va. and his teams consistently produce over 200-250 a year for several years in a row. This is with Barry in the office part-time. He is also an executive with Ylopo as the Realtor in Residence where he also trains their users. His passion is Wife, two children, and their little dog. His systems allow him to leverage technology so he can spend time with them.

About the Episode On this episode, I’m joined by RE/MAX Holdings CEO, Adam Contos. As the head of one of the biggest real estate brands worldwide, and with a background in law enforcement and undercover narcotics, Adam’s story and his journey to the top of real estate is unique and it has given him a fascinating perspective and global lens on our industry.    What sticks out about Adam is his dedication to being a student and a giver in our industry; something that’s not common about many executives in our business. He has a real boots-on-the-ground approach to leadership, and he has the benefit of talking to Realtors around the world, which gives him a unique pulse on what’s going on in the greater real estate market. Adam shares on what it takes to succeed in a real estate market.     Adam oversees RE/MAX Holdings’ three brands: RE/MAX, LLC, a top real estate brand in over 100 countries and territories; Motto Franchising, LLC, the first national mortgage brokerage franchisor in the U.S.; and booj, an award-winning real estate technology company. He started off in business development and franchise consulting and then worked his way up to the top of one of the largest real estate companies in the world.     There’s a lot of noise drawing us away from our communities in this space, and as the saying goes, what we focus on grows. If we focus on the noise, that’s all we’ll get. What matters in this business is not what we see happening in the market, it’s whether or not we helped someone; whether that’s fellow agents or our database. If we focus on doing the right things for the people in our community, business will keep coming to us.    In Today’s Episode, We Talk About;   - How Adam got into the real estate world after taking a unique path from law enforcement.  - The power of identifying people’s problems.  - How habits and processes lead to results.  - How to raise the standards of our industry.  - How to block out the noise and focus on what matters.  - Why our markets aren’t as unique or as different as we say.  - Something he’s excited about, something he’s changed his mind on and something people might not know about him.  - Why noise is a fake indication.  Guest Info   Chief Executive Officer of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Adam oversees its three brands: RE/MAX, LLC, a top real estate brand in over 100 countries and territories; Motto Franchising, LLC, the first national mortgage brokerage franchisor in the U.S.; and booj, an award-winning real estate technology company.

About the Episode On this episode, I’m joined by real estate overachievers and leaders of Realty by Monica, Chris and Monica Foster one of the most highly-rated real estate teams in Houston. After moving to a completely new area, where they had zero database, they managed to build a $90 million volume business, and gain a great position and build momentum in a short space of time. Their story and their success is unique not just because of the timeframe of it, but because right from the start they focused on the client experience and value, not ratings and volume. The most incredible thing that happened is that focusing on the client first, brought the number 1 rating, and the volumes.    The amount of pressure there is on our industry is being felt, especially in shrinking profit margins and commissions get driven down. Contrary to a lot of the panic out there, this doesn’t have to mean disaster for us. It’s key that we think of business differently so that we’re finding opportunities to keep growing our businesses.      In Today’s Episode, We Talk About;   01:03 - The team set up that Monica and Chris have, and how they built a massive business in  02:59 - How Chris transitioned from a job at NASA to real estate.  09:25 - How they were able to start their real estate operations without a database.  14:16 - Why the client experience comes before us focusing on volumes and ratings.  17:07 - Zillow lead generation best practices.  19:40 - How the roles have evolved as the business has grown.  23:27 - What Monica and Chris are most excited about going into 2020 and beyond.  Guest Info   Monica is a licensed Broker in the State of Texas and lead of the Monica Foster Team, specializing in Residential Real Estate in the Houston Bay Area. The Team is consistently one of the top teams in Houston and the entire U.S. For more information, visit https://www.realtybymonica.com/.   

For our last pre-election episode we talk with Anand Menon, director of the UK in a Changing Europe, about what might happen to Brexit once the vote is done. What choices does Johnson face if he wins? What paths are there to a second referendum if he loses? And what will remainers do if Britain does finally leave the EU? Plus we discuss what the rest of Europe makes of it all. With Helen Thompson. Tomorrow, we talk about the result of the election as it happens.Talking Points: There are basically two scenarios: Johnson gets a majority and the withdrawal bill passes, or there’s a hung parliament.The first is slightly more probable, but the margins are getting closer.If Johnson has a majority of even one, the UK will probably leave.But we still don’t know what Johnson wants. Will he be a prisoner to the ERG or will he be a one nation Tory and go for a softer Brexit?The next crunch point will be the end of June with the extension for transition. EU leaders have been assuming a Johnson victory.There’s a conversation in Brussels about how flexible the EU should be, given Johnson’s comments on European trade.Relations within the EU have gotten more fraught.What about the UK’s security relationship with the EU? Would a hung parliament inevitably lead to a second referendum?It’s not clear that a Corbyn minority government could legislate for a referendum. You might actually get another election.The gap between Labour and the Conservatives is as wide as it has been in recent history.The Lib Dems have again fallen behind.The public seems to be uncomfortable with revoke. It’s not a vote winner.If the UK leaves, where do the remainers go? It doesn’t seem that project rejoin would have much steam in the short term.If Johnson wins, it will be on less than half of the vote. And the likelihood of a fifth Conservative victory is unlikely. There is a reason for Labour to believe that next time is their real chance.Mentioned in this Episode: On the tension between Macron and MerkelRobert Tombs in the Spectator.Further Learning: Follow Anand on Twitter hereAnand on negotiating a trade deal with EuropeAnd as ever, recommended reading curated by our friends at the LRB can be found here: lrb.co.uk/talking See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Barbara shares the ins and outs, and the benefits of hiring a virtual assistant. If you have never hired a Virtual Assistant before, it could be hard to figure out where to begin. Barbara gives you a better picture of your starting point with your VA. Check out these episode highlights: 01:44 – Barbara's ideal client: Ideal client for us is anyone running a small to medium business. 02:08 – Problem she helps solve: A lot of the problem people were facing is they wanted to get a virtual assistant but really that's not the crux of the problem. A lot of the problem is training demands, onboarding a VA, managing a VA, and then making sure that your business is set up properly to get to the sense with offshore teams before you hire a VA. 03:24 – Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Barbara: They may have tried outsourcing before. They may have tried and it has either failed or they tried and it was a roaring success but the person left and then they got failed after that because it's actually very hard to find good people. 04:57 – Common mistakes people make when trying to solve that problem: On the recruitment side when people go to other websites, they do it themselves. They underestimate the amount of work involved in trolling through and the numbers of people that you have to go through to hit a home run. 05:20 – Barbara's Valuable Free Action(VFA): This two technique: pictures and connections. Everything I want to remember becomes a picture and that picture becomes connected to an existing memory. 06:17 – Barbara's Valuable Free Resource(VFR): thevirtualhub.com/leadsology 07:28 – Q:'How's the English offshore?" A: English can be really missed. So just as someone speaks great English on the phone doesn't mean that they write great English. That’s a true one.

They underestimate the amount of work involved in trolling through and the numbers of people that you have to go through to hit a home run.”…Click To Tweet “The other mistake people make is they underestimated how much work they need to do in their business to make sure that their business is ready for a virtual assistant or for a virtual team.” -@virtualhubltdClick To Tweet Transcript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland: Hello everyone.

Spoken word is many things to many people...ranging from life itself to a cute pastime that occasionally has value when trying to seduce or vent. But spoken word is so much more...it is our soundtrack. Have you been listening? Ingrid B, founder of #OnTheBSide Entertainment, reminds us of the role poetry plays in our life & ability to weather the social storms of our times. I met Ingrid while serving as a priest in Miami. Trying to escape Coral Gables, one of my Miami brothers told me about the soul of South Florida and the Ambassador of that Soul, Ms. Ingrid B. What was crazy about that encounter was that I learned her father was also a priest in the Episcopal Diocese I was serving! So here's this PK (preacher's kid) who's head of this artistic underworld. It was incredibly compelling...to see her host & navigate an evening to a near Eucharistic joy was a thing of beauty that I had to respect. Spoken Word still Remains an Underworld Well at least for me it does...even though poetry is always present. Spoken Word rarely ever fails me. Yet how so often I fail spoken word. It's so easy for the poetic word to be shunned when facing a life that can easily seem void of beauty. When the world is filled with chaos and bigotry and hatred...when things seem hopeless...when the happenings of life render us powerless: it seems there is no beauty. But spoken word is there too..seeing what is truly ugly and conveying it with such beauty that one is compelled to hope. True hope...not that false hope. So what does spoken word have to contribute in the present socio-political climate? I #AskIngridB in this episode of Blacks with Power. Hear what she has to say and share your response!

Episode On the Fly. Char and Tristan have been recording To The Journey every week for the last 3+ years. One of the things they have learned in that time is that they make a crackerjack writing team. They have also learned that they have fun thinking on their feet. In this episode of To The Journey, they do both and write an episode of Voyager on the fly. That's right — with no preparation beforehand, they hit record and develop a full-length episode live on the podcast! This go round, the story centers around Tuvok, where he puts his undercover investigative talents — and his principles as a Vulcan Starfleet officer — to the test.

This Week’s Episode On this week’s show, I share a recording of the first live episode of the Creative Yarn Entrepreneur Show! I talked with Carlota Zimmerman, the forensic coach, author, blogger, social media expert, and entrepreneur behind the Creativity Yenta©. We shared our tips for starting or expanding your business in the New Year and responded to questions from the audience. About Carlota Zimmerman Carlota Zimmerman is the forensic coach, social media expert, blogger, and writer known as the Creativity Yenta©. Carlota helps her clients articulate their professional goals — from writing a book to starting a small business — and then helps them create the opportunities necessary to bring their dreams to life. She writes for the Huffington Post and Thought Catalog, and was listed as a social media expert by US News & World Report. You can find Carlota online on her website, Facebook page, Twitter (as @kittenmagix), Pinterest, and LinkedIn. About the Show Carlota started off by sharing her recommendation that entrepreneurs avoid feeling pressure to make 2015 “the best year ever!” She suggested starting the year off with manageable goals and by creating commitments (with yourself). When you meet these goals, you can build your own confidence as an entrepreneur. On a related note, I suggested building habits and structures for growing your business. We shared our stories about the challenges of working from home for the first time, and Carlota shared her tips for building the confidence you need for your business to be successful. I shared some suggestions from my interview with Lindsey Stephens from Poetry in Yarn, who I interviewed in Episode 10: Time Management Tips. One of Lindsey’s tips was to know how much time each task takes. This can be especially critical when you are switching from having a business “on the side” to becoming a full time entrepreneur. Carlota suggested creating a content cheat sheet or calendar to use when you aren’t feeling creative. This list is something you can go back to you when you aren’t feeling inspired or need to feel more in control of your business. She also mentioned that to be successful, you need to find strategies and habits that work for YOU. Christina Sofina asked about how to generate traffic to your blog or videos. I had several suggestions: Join online communities of other entrepreneurs in your field (such as Facebook groups or niche social media communities within your field). If you’re in a community of likeminded entrepreneurs in your field, you can get support and share each other’s content on social media. Find your voice on the different social media platforms, and take a slightly different approach on each platform (even when promoting the same content). Share consistently (while being realistic about your time). Reach out to other colleagues and comment on their posts, Tweets, and shares to start a conversation. Their fans may be interested in your work after seeing your interactions. Connect with influential bloggers who aggregate or curate content in your niche. Many fans look to these bloggers to curate content for them (making you more discoverable), and these bloggers need regular content. Carlota added several additional pointers: Show, don’t just tell. Use multimedia content when possible. Differentiate yourself. Share your background, journey, and lifestyle with your followers. This creates a sense of interest among your audience. Observe people you admire online. Consider what they are doing and what you may want to incorporate into your own social media behaviors. If you speak multiple languages, don’t forget to Tweet (or participate in other social networks) in both languages. Use relevant hashtags. Join and participate in relevant niche online communities. Be patient. It’s better to have a small number of engaged fans than a large number of uninterested followers, and it takes time to build your own community online. We talked about trolls (or hostile, negative people) for a bit, since they tend to become more noticeable as you get more traffic to your content. Feel free to delete those comments! While it’s ok to commiserate for a few minutes, you should not let negative responses stop you from reaching your goals. The fact that trolls are even contacting you means that you are becoming more noticed! Carlota mentioned that the stress of “being a success” can prevent you from learning from your own failures. Striving for perfection can hamper your development as an entrepreneur. We both discussed the importance of learning from your failures and mistakes so you can improve your business. Marinke Slump asked about time management. Carlota’s suggestions included: Prioritize 1-3 tasks each day that will create opportunities for the next day (or in the near future). Focus on your priority tasks during the time of day when you feel the most alert and creative. Work backwards from major goals. I added some tips: Don’t let your work expand beyond your capacity. A solopreneur’s work can continuously expand, especially when your business is launching or in a growth phase. Outsource some of your work, specifically the work that doesn’t produce income, that you don’t enjoy, and/or that you aren’t very good (or efficient) at completing. If your financial situation isn’t yet strong enough to support hiring, you might consider high school or college student interns, bartering with related professionals, or working with a retired volunteer. Christina asked about the balance between making money and taking lessons to improve your skills. Both Carlota and I believe that continual improvement is critical to the long-term success for your business. We suggested several ways to finance improving your skills: Consider bartering with teachers. Do you have a skill that your teacher might be interested in learning? Take on a freelance gig or part-time job specifically to earn money for your training and professional development. Ideally, the job should be high paying, utilize skills you want to highlight, and/or be simple and not energy-draining. Reach out to authors, online teachers, and other sources for free review copies/courses that you can review on your blog or elsewhere online.
