There's a lot of confusion about branding for small businesses and solopreneurs. Your brand influences the stories you tell, the promises you make, and even the advice you give your clients. Cindy Bidar has achieved considerable success in a relatively short time frame. Her brand builds on her story archetype - the Role Model. Cindy didn't set out to brand with this archetype. Very few people even know this framework exists! But, like many successful businesses, her marketing consistently reflects this archetype. She shares personal stories to support her promise, "If I can do it, you can do it." Her decision to start her business was based on this principle. You'll enjoy Cindy's warm, down-to-earth style as we dig into her storytelling decisions and reveal how she uses stories to build her marketing success. Some highlights from the episode: 9:23 - how Cindy decides what to share and what to hold back on 11:48. “That's my sweet spot!" 13:20 - Ask this question when you're having trouble coming up with ideas for emailing your list (I've never heard this one before) 14:40 - "Best way to write interesting content? Do interesting things.” 15:30 - Using Julia Cameron's “artist date” to refill the well 17:15 Deciding what to discuss and not discuss (the key is business alignment) 18:30 - Common story mistakes in email marketing (based on bad advice) 20:20 - What Cindy teaches that's completely in sync with the role model archetype 21:30 - The heart of Cindy's message about success…”If I could share just one thing…” 24:30 - When Cindy just got started: what was her guiding principle 30:00 - You don't want to hear, "That's not what I signed up for." 32:00 - The Big Takeaway Website: CindyBidar.com Cindy's Membership Site (I'm a member) Learn about story archetypes here on this page.

I was lying in bed one morning, and all of a sudden it hit me… If I ever want to be truly happy, I have to stop doing THIS. So do you. What is this thing we need to stop doing? I call it the “Campaign of Misery.” In the background of your mind, there's a campaign of misery running on a loop. And until you stop it, you will never experience the happiness, joy and contentment you deserve. I promise you - it is there. In the background - talking to you all the time. This is the missing piece to true happiness. When you remove the campaign of misery, you create room for joy. I recorded this episode the same morning I had this profound insight. What you're about to hear is a conversation with me and two friends and colleagues, Amy and Jessie. Pull up a seat at the kitchen table; I want you to hear me unpacking this breakthrough about happiness in real time. My two friends saw their “campaign of misery” immediately and started describing in detail the ridiculous ways they torture themselves. You'll laugh, you'll nod along, and you might even cry a little. We sure did. Because when you realize how much you rob yourself of the happiness you deserve, it is sad. I always say, this isn't just a listening podcast, it's a doing podcast. So by the end, there's something specific I will be asking you to do with us while you listen. In three simple steps, you will join us as we put down the sword, grab a book of matches, and pick up the pen to write new default programming into our minds. Don't worry, I'll explain why you need matches near the end of the episode. And you'll be so happy that I did. You have the power to change the way you think and the way you talk to yourself. You have the power to stop seeing all the reasons your life is hard and teach yourself to see how this could be easier. Yes, you can be happy. You can be content. But first, you have to stop making yourself miserable. Let's support one another on this. If we fight this battle for happiness together, side-by-side, I am certain we will win. Xo Mel In this episode, you'll learn:What happens when you get caught up in your storiesMy profound breakthrough around the importance of mindfulnessHow to start celebrating yourself right now, no matter your mindsetThe 3 incredibly powerful mindset hacks I did with my friends and colleagues, Amy & Jessie Go deeper: Do you want to create a better morning routine?

In the final episode of the book series, I will talk about the practical and wonderful book of Julia Cameron - "The Artist's Way", a workbook of discovering one's creativity. This twelve-week course on enhancing your creativity is a great starting point for anyone willing to live their life a little more creatively and invite a bit of play into their everyday experience. Julia Cameron offers us her insight, experience, and guidance in working through our internal blocks and subconscious sabotage and introducing more colour to our schedules. As the book that has propelled my creative writing experience and a definite mother of this podcast, "The Artist's Way" is here to be acknowledged and appreciated. You wouldn't be listening to my voice on this podcast if it wasn't for Ms. Cameron's support of my creativity through her beautiful piece. As always, I will offer you a little invitation to exercise the might of your creativity and artist within! If you do get to read it following my invitation, make sure to let me know your thoughts! Maybe, it will be the book to change your life as well... All the love, all the power, all of the time...

Mara Thomas got to know poet and educator Zoe Tuck through the School of the Alternative in Black Mountain, North Carolina where Zoe taught a class called “Book Magic.” “Book Magic” started from the premise that there is a grain of truth to the magic we remember from children's books and other fantastical literature. And if those books contained a grain of truth, how might participants nurture that grain and write their own magical systems into being? Enjoy this conversation about the mystical and intuitive parts of the creative process, ranging from friendship to trance poetics and patterned breath to the potency of shared creative spaces. Check out the show notes below for links to many of the books, writers, and resources referenced in this episode. BIO: Zoe Tuck (she/her) was born in Texas, became a person in California, and now lives in Massachusetts. She is the author of Terror Matrix (Timeless, Infinite Light) and the chapbooks "Vape Cloud of Unknowing" (Belladonna*) and "The Book of Bella" (DoubleCross Press), the latter of which is bound in a dos-a-dos edition with Emily Hunerwadel's "Peach Woman." In addition to teaching creative writing and literature classes, Zoe is the co-host of The But Also reading series with Britt Billmeyer-Finn and the co-editor of https://www.hotpinkmag.com/about (Hot Pink Magazine) with Emily Brown.

Sometimes you just need to throw out the old models for doing business and try something totally new. Maybe you're bored with business as usual. Maybe the results aren't as profitable as they were in the past. Or maybe you are no longer enjoying the same old way of doing business. It's okay to go off-script. In this episode, I talk with ceramic artist Patricia Griffin. If you visit her website during certain times of the year, you won't see anything for sale because she has sold out. Zero inventory. What you will see are items she has sold and an opportunity to get on her list so you don't miss a chance to purchase the next time her shop opens. Patricia and I discuss what she refers to as events — the 3- or 4-times a year sales of her ceramics that sell out within hours and have led to a dramatic increase in income. She'll describe the philosophy behind them, the promotional timeline, the collaborations to help raise money for nonprofits, and how the events are a valuable tool for her to cultivate relationships with buyers and potential buyers. Highlights The book that changed the course of Patricia's artistic life. (2:04) Patricia's cautious first step into selling her art. (6:35) A visual description of Patricia's functional stoneware. (8:52) An overview of Patricia's sales philosophy and the online sales events that bring in more orders than she can quickly fill. (11:20) The learning curve that comes with selling art in a non-traditional way. (15:46) Cultivating a studio friends list allows Patricia to connect with interested buyers. (17:47) Timing sales events and refining the sales process. (21:50) How many pieces does Patricia have ready to go when her events go live? (26:25) The benefit of connecting your Instagram feed to your sales website. (27:14) Marketing for sales events and what launch day looks like for Patricia. (28:53) Collaborating with a non-profit does not have to mean donating your work for free. (33:05) Hosting online events, for Patricia, has resulted in a dramatic increase in sales and skills. (34:43) Stories of creating connections and increasing loyalty with buyers. (36:20) How to create the deadlines that will result in increased sales. (39:16) The success of Patricia's most recent online event — by the numbers. (41:04) Which social media platform brings in the greatest number of customers? (43:18) How does Patricia balance the need to produce art for her soul and the need to produce art for her business?

I don't know that doing it another way would cultivate the same kind of relationships that I have now.” — Patricia Griffin “Some of these people had been on my email list for years and maybe just purchased something for the first time.” — Patricia Griffin “Hosting online events has been really beneficial, not only to my business but also to my skills.” — Patricia Griffin “I don't think I would have had those commissions if it wasn't for the online events.” — Patricia Griffin “I've really felt the pull to do something else and get back to some of the experimenting that I like to do.” — Patricia Griffin “I'm continually walking that tight line between the need to produce art in my soul and the need to produce art in my business hat.” — Patricia Griffin About My Guest Patricia Griffin is a potter-artist in the seaside community of Cambria on California's central coast. She makes functional ceramics that are hand-thrown and hand-built and etched with designs that look like woodcuts. Griffin's work is sold primarily through shopping events held three to four times a year on her website.

Krystal Kenney fell in love with Paris as a teenager after visiting as part of a school trip. Living in the United States at the time, she dreamed of moving internationally and several years later she made it happen. She now lives in the city of light: Paris, France where she explores her creative talents in many different ways. She's a professional photographer who specializes in capturing candid moments and special memories for locals and visitors to Paris. And when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, meaning no one was taking vacations or holding special events that would benefit from her talents as a photographer, what did she do? She got creative! Krystal launched a podcast called La Vie Creative, where she shines a light on the stories of creative people, past and present, from Paris as well as other spots in France. She even teamed up with another storyteller, Claudine Hemingway, to add even more incredible stories to the show. Most recently she wrote and released her book, a memoir, called Paris, A Life Less Ordinary. On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Krystal about the creative inspiration she draws from Paris, as well as from photographing people celebrating engagements, weddings and birthdays. Krystal offers insights into how she developed her creative style and the process of writing her new book. She also shares lots of inside info about how her podcast came to be, and the benefits of collaborating on creative projects.

Noella Moshi joined Future Fund for Education (FFE) with a strong passion for education and workforce development. Since graduating with a Master’s in Clinical Science from the University of Cape Town, Noella has worked on projects that provide scalable solutions to problems within health and education across Africa. Noella previously led operations at West Africa Vocational Education (WAVE) in Nigeria. She was on the founding team of African Leadership University in Mauritius and the co-founder of Goodbye Malaria in South Africa. In her free time, Noella likes to write poetry and fiction.In this episode, Noella speaks about the importance of innovation in the education sector even in a time of "uncertainty". With her leadership as the Executive Director of FFE, she is championing "African-led solutions" on the continent. Despite being met with prejudice towards her leadership as a Black nonprofit executive, Noella has been gracefully buoyant. She offers insight into the agility that is being activated abroad as educators work to innovate and serve their respective communities. Questions around access, talent management and operations are at the forefront of FFE's cohort of entrepreneurs and FFE is providing a space for shared capacity building in their respective pursuits. We also hear more about her perspective on the benefit of telemigration in generating a more expansive workforce and connecting people across the African diaspora. A creative herself, Noella also invites us into ways she has been able to tap into her creative flow for balance and affirmation.****References to Julia Cameron "The Artist's Way" appear in this episode.We ground our confidence in our ability to learn, empathize and create solutions for our community as we share Forward 4O’s platform with this phenomenal WOC in the nonprofit and social enterprise sector.Stay connected with Noella on LinkedIn and Twitter.

What is Faith to you? Religion and how we were raised factors in so much for our lives. It may be God, Goddess, a Higher Power, the Universe, or Mother Nature. From the Church and organized religion, to Paganism or Earth Medicine, we discuss the broad spectrum that we've lived through and studied for ourselves. Everyone can and does have a different experience of/with God. Amy discusses her upbringing in a Christian church and the empowerment of rehab and AA to allow her relationship with God to be one that works for her. Heather discusses her upbringing in a Christian church and her approach to learning and connecting with Nature for her spiritual needs. Faith can help us get through the rough patches, but is that faith placed in someone else "speaking for God" or is that faith in ourselves being able to navigate the changes? Is the God we believe in one who sits up on a cloud or smacks us when we misbehave? Or is the God we believe in seen in the acts all around us? Maybe Faith means believing it will all work out as it should, not that God will take care of you because you have Faith.Science has shown us more of what our world holds, so we no longer believe in a "mysterious ether" to cause illness, we can identify the virus. Science is still figuring things out, but as a species, we still attribute the unknown to a Higher Power.Amy refers to Julia Cameron (The Artist's Way- https://juliacameronlive.com/the-artists-way/) and her view of God as "Good Orderly Direction" as Heather discusses the pattern of molecules becoming life as it is. We have a hope that the things we learn now will help us move forward and filter out the yuck and the noise. We're looking for good information, leadership, and things or people we can trust right now. As a species, we thought we were superior, but this virus has kicked that attitude. So how to we cling to the basis of our Faith in times like this? Does it all just come down to just having Faith in this moment, this present moment, right now? Yes, our life could and will probably change. From Buddhism to AA to many other practices and approaches: the only moment is this one right now. Whatever works for the moment. If whatever you're grasping right now isn't working for you, then know there are other options We say, as long as your Faith or Religion does not cause harm to others, then believe what works for you. And remember, don't do harm to yourself either, based on a belief or religion. Don't add the layer of bringing shame to your God. If your Faith makes you feel worthless or beats up your self-esteem, then maybe find a different thing to believe in. We believe, and choose to believe, there are good people and good things in this world. That's what we have Faith in.
Hi my dear followers. Today you get the chance to listen in to my conversation with Anja Matulewska. She was a multi talented and creative kid; playing flute, guitar, compose her own songs, dance, paint and sew her own things. As her mom she thought that she would become a designer but she went for a BSc in marketing and after her degree she was confused as she didn't do what she felt was right for her. That brought her then back to a more creative field with a MSc degree in Design Management. For her MSc thesis she learned and applied Design Thinking and could feel that this is the right path. Since then she has facilitated all phases of the innovation process, from early start to implementation and evaluation using Design Thinking and Design Sprints. Worked for small businesses big companies and in her own innovation consultancy. Anja is very open about her path of coming back to creativity and how she lost it. The secret not many know of her is her spiritual side. The Art Therapy she did and how it helped her to find more stability in life. This experience combined with her work and Design Thinking brought her to interview 15 women on their feelings and thoughts about creativity. Her personal project: Kreativ Kompas About a month before our interview Anja started her creative community after doing research on why and how people are or are not creative. This motivated her to start a creative community that meets once a month for 6 months to become more creative. Call for Action: 1) Make it a habit to be creative. Paint, play music, dance, sing Make a fixed appointment with creativity in your calendar. E.g. Every Monday from 19:00-20:00 Like going to the gym, cook or shopping. The Start is hard but it will get easier the more you do it and then it is a habit. Before you know you'll enjoy it and look forward to your creative appointment 2) Morning pages: First thing when you wake up start writing down your Feelings. Evening: Create a Gratitude list. That way you keep a positive mindset when you go sleeping and waking up.

In this episode we discuss our processes of planning the launch of a new project, and how to plan out the steps to reach a goal. We talk about differences in our “run ways” leading up to the launch of a project and what we’ve learned from the process of developing many different types of projects in the past. We share approaches to consistent content generation and the difficulties of staying on the content generation wagon. We answer: How do you plan for the launch of a project? How do you break down a project to its essential elements? How do you successfully create content on a regular basis? What does it mean to be a writer?

www.AlternativeHealthTools.com Melody Owens is captivated by the mystery and the beauty that make a person iconic and revered. “I am inspired to paint women in classic beauty, illuminate heroines with a Hollywood glow and revive vintage elegance in a contemporary age. I aim to capture the radiance of soft light and diffuse certain features contrasted by focused details. Bright colors and textures can give the eye a sensory pleasure. In my work I play with the balance of abstraction. I use loose but determined strokes to blend details and realism. My choice of media is acrylic followed by oil. Sometimes, I mix it up by starting with a gouache base. The luminescence in my art is often amplified with jewels and the glossy shine of silver leaf contrasting strong rustic textures. Mostly self taught, I've been lucky to have apprenticed with a few of the most skilled artists in Utah & California. Growing up in Utah in an extremely artistic family encouraged me to pursue my passion of art. The roller coaster of life took me from Utah to Las Vegas where I opened a studio teaching my photo realism style seen on www.LiquidLead-Art.com. A few hard years running a studio flew by once I found the peacefulness reflected in my art. Art itself is healing, so my creative inspiration has led me on the path of becoming an energy healer and yoga teacher. In my current studio in Newport Beach, painting full time and happily creating, I enjoy the occasional surf break to chase down a perfect glossy wave.” ~ Melody Owens Topics, Mentions and Links Art Therapy at Southwestern College & New Earth Institute: consciousness-centered graduate school for counseling and art therapy.
