The holiday season can put a lot of strain on relationships. In fact, did you know that January is considered "divorce month"? Relationships break down for so many reasons during this time. Today we have a special episode for the Outlouder (or a person in your life) who might be going through some relationship things right now, because you're not alone.. even the celebrities are going through it! In this episode, we unpack a celebrity divorce dilemma about the labor imbalance that can occur for women in their households. Whether or not a couple or both parents can both have "big" careers, the concept of the lead parent and how that role often falls on women. Plus, how does a relationship change when a baby enters the equation? It's a conversation that you will definitely want to hear. The End Bits: Listen: The Breakup Text We Got This Week Listen: Listener Dilemma: Escort On A Bucks Night Read: January is 'divorce month'.

As I watch my girls grow and navigate the school system, it strikes me that today's education is lacking in actually helping our kids grow into healthy adulthood. But this isn't a new topic. Today's clip of Ken Robinson, pulled from a talk nearly 20 years old, shows that he seems to feel the same way. He points out the unpredictability of the future, even though we educate our kids as though we know exactly what the world will hold for them. Instead, we need to create space for them to use their unique gifts and authentically be themselves. Show links: Watch the full clip. Learn more at sirkenrobinson.com.

It's a very well known fact that good daily actions create success. Why? Because the more you pay attention to certain things in your business, the better you can control and adjust them. I am going to talk about 5 things in particular today that, if you focus on them every single day, will make you become a better VA. 1 Money You need to look at your money every day. Sales, account balances, payments, expenses. Whether you do complicated reporting or not, if you don't know how much money you have coming in and going out, you aren't actually managing your business. Checking your sales helps you to see what's coming in of course, but it also help you to see opportunities to earn more. A daily revenue tracking sheet can help you see how much opportunity you might be leaving on the table. Even if all of your clients pay you on the 1st of the month, look at the rest of those days ... where could you squeeze some more projects in to increase what you bring in? Maybe you just have an opportunity to start a new client mid-month and renew their payment later in the month. It is nice to have money coming in more often during any given month, not everyone needs to be billed on the 1st or 31st. Checking your account balances is always important because it keeps your money top of mind. If you don't have enough, it reinforces that you need to do some connecting or finding clients work. Like, right now. 100% priority. Nothing else is more important for you to do than get a client. Looking at your payments helps so see what has gone out, and what still has to go out. Cash flow is critical in business. Monitoring your expenses is similar to watching your payments, but it goes a step farther because you are looking at things you have determined are necessary to pay for to in order to run your business. When you are looking at your expenses, you are always looking to see if they are still required, whether they are enough, or whether you should be taking on a new one. Your VA business costs money to run, and when you manage your expenses well, you can automate and get more done among many other things. I can help you create simple checklists and tracking sheets to do this daily. Daily money checks don't take more than five or ten minutes. Schedule it in! 2 Goals You know I tell you that what you focus on grows. well someone once said that and I know it to be true. You must focus on your goals if you are going to achieve them. What I mean by that is checking in on your goals every day. Look at what you say you want to be/do/have. Look at where you are in the process of reaching it. Look how far you have come from the start. When I teach VAs to set goals, I also teach them to break the action steps to reach that goal down into very small manageable pieces, and then put those action steps into the calendar every single day. I watch VAs who fail at goal setting (or rather reaching their goal) every single day, and I wholeheartedly believe that it doesn't mean anything about you as a business owner (like you're not a bad one). It has everything to do with your plan for your action steps. Here's what I mean: I see VAs set a goal. Then I see them put their goal absolutely dead last, behind client work, behind the family calendar or needs, and maybe even behind their day job. They book in 2 or 3 hours on Sunday night to 'work on' their goal. Sounds great but it actually sucks as a plan. Why? Because when you only look at your goal once a week it doesn't stay fresh in your mind. Because when you try to cram your working on into one large block you can get really overwhelmed, or paralyzed. Or go down a serious rabbit hole. Or, most common, you will get to Sunday night and decide that something else takes precedence and you just don't do it. Then you try to.book it in the next Sunday and the same thing happens. So daily actions are better for so many reasons. Short daily actions. I'm talking 15 minute tasks! Daily actions take less time. You will easily have time to get the smaller task done. And if you DO miss it, you are only behind 15 mins, not 3 hours. I can help you break down your goal into actionable daily steps, and a checklist to help you move closer to your goal every single day. 3 Read You need to constantly be growing as a VA. Business owners need to learn new strategies, new tactics, new 'stuff' to improve their abilities in business, and VAs are business owners. If you aren't currently reading business books, you should be. It can be difficult what to choose to read, but I can give you lots of suggestions! Whether you need to improve your mindset, marketing, money, team, strategy, or whatever, choose a book that you want to learn something from - and something that you plan to implement. It will make no difference in your business if you read something and don't make any changes to your business. Building a good reading habit is also a way to remind you that you are in fact a business owner. For several years, I belonged to a business book club called Thought Readers run by my business coach Lisa Larter and it was fabulous. She chose the books we read each month and then we would have discussions on the content throughout each month. She even brought many of the authors in to do Q and A calls with us which was amazing. I got to talk to Dan Sullivan who I think is awesome. Anyway, the point I want to make is that I was not a reader before I joined Thought Readers. I would start to read a book and I would fall asleep or get bored. Like no books. Hardly ever. I read all day long - but short stuff. I didn't get into books at all, even fiction. And I certainly didn't know how to pick a good book. So I learned to read business books, and I got business coaching from Lisa and from some pretty incredible authors too. And that's how I know that it made me a better business person. I chose at least one thing to implement from every book that we read, and that's what I tell VAs to do too. It's like any training that you take - it's just a waste of your time if you are just going to watch it and then not take action on it. If you develop a good reading habit - 30 minutes every morning or at lunch, you can improve your business vocabulary, knowledge, strategy and so much more. It also adds structure to your day - and routine, which is so important for your success. I look for inspiration in the things that I read too - so if I read a chapter every morning (which is what I try to do), then I think about maybe how to do something that day or week using that bit of knowledge - or look for some kind of wisdom or content to share. Reading is very good for your brain - and so easy to start! Just pick up a book! If you struggle to read or to choose books, that's something I can help you do too, by sharing what worked for me. 4 Brainstorm and Strategize Strategizing is a good thing to do regularly. Daily it is not necessary to create a full new strategy, that's not what I mean. But checking in on your strategy, your plan, your action steps, your productivity ... all of those things. Brainstorming to me is making lists. In fact I give this advice to VAs all the time - to make lists of things that are cluttering your thoughts and your mind. It helps you to address the things that you want to get done at another time. Not everything is urgent - in fact very little is urgent. You can schedule time for all the things, in due time. So brainstorming is a great way to unload some stress from your mind. A bullet journal can be really good for this. I talk a lot about my bullet journal. I love it and I used it daily in my business, I have for years. Its a series of lists and notes that I can refer to anytime I need to. And I make new lists every single day! When you are focusing on your strategy, you can track it, monitor it, analyze it, change or alter or tweak it. Say you are looking to find VA clients and you need to do daily outreach to do it. By keeping a daily eye on it you can see what is working for you. You can see what doesn't work and do less of that, and you can see what is working or what needs tweaking and then you can do more of that. Our time is really important, we only have so much of it, and so we need to be efficient and not waste it. That is definitely one area that we can waste time is doing networking, and that's why it's such an important thing to work with a strategy. And this actually leads me into my last point which is Conversations. 5 Conversations If you are not having daily conversations with business owners, you are going to struggle to get good clients. I know so many VAs who only do marketing or networking when they are looking for a new clients. Starting from a standing position is so much more difficult than doing a little all the time to keep your name top of mind in the communities that you choose to network in. So I recommend daily conversations with at least two people every day. You know this if you listen to any of my trainings. It's manageable no matter how busy you are to talk to two people. I'm not talking about discovery calls, I'm simply talking about interactions. On social media works. The numbers work in your favour all the time for this - if you talk to 2 people every day, that's 40 to 60 people in a month. If you can't get one client from 40 interactions, then you need to revise what you are saying in these interactions. It's simple math and it works. How many people to do you need to connect with to get a client? You need to know that number. It's called your conversion percentage. And the only way to know it is to have the conversations. It's easy you go from connecting to conversation to client. Not everyone you will connect with will want a conversation right away. So maybe you have to talk to 10 or 20 people to get 2 or 3 sales conversations. When you are networking with the right people this is not hard, and actually those numbers are quite bad. But you see what I mean. Then from the conversations, you should be able to get at least 5 or 6 out of 10 to sign on as your clients. Again, you have to talk to the right people for these numbers to work. So your plan and strategy definitely play a role here as well. But the numbers do not lie. I can help you with finding your people, deciding how many you need to talk to, with figuring out what to say to them, and how to manage a sales conversation so you get the client. I'm going to leave it off here for today, I feel like that's a lot! Which of these daily actions can you start taking tomorrow? To introduce a new habit, focus on one thing at a time.

Six years on from the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft has unveiled the next-generation of its flagship operating system. This time, it didn't skip a number though — and hence, we have Windows 11. Gadgets 360 senior reporter and Orbital producer Jagmeet Singh and video producer and Windows settings critic Shubham Raheja join host Akhil Arora to discuss what's on offer here. We talk about the headline feature: you can run Android apps on Windows 11, though you will need the Amazon Appstore via the Microsoft Store. It's complicated. But at least, Microsoft is playing nice with others. Read: Windows 11 announced We delve into the UI and UX changes, from the glassy Windows Vista-like look to the deep integration for Microsoft Teams, its Zoom and Slack competitor. And of course, that central Start button shift — literally. Along the way, we touch upon the (odd) hardware requirements for Windows 11, the powerful new (Xbox) gaming features, and how Windows at times gets too big and overwhelming for itself.

QUARANTINE LIFE This week, I’ve found it super-difficult to concentrate on anything for any length of time. Over the past few days, I’ve felt like crawling back into bed – and to be completely frank, a couple of days, I have. Why am I sharing this? Because I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in being quarantine-weary. And although here in Texas, things are loosening up a bit – retail stores are opening today for curbside service only, and restaurants can have up to 25% capacity – it’s hard to get a clear picture of what post-quarantine life is going to look like. SUBCONSCIOUS DESIRES What is becoming clear to me is that I’ve had a whole lot going on subconsciously – like really, really, really wanting my son and his classmates to get to have a real graduation. Like hoping that even though his new student orientation for college has been switched to being virtual, that he’ll get to do Fish Camp before classes start in the fall. That classes will actually start in the fall. Now that some of the pressure is easing on stay-at-home orders, I’m starting to grieve all the things that we’re missing. The loss of the rites of passage that weren’t only for my son, but also for my husband and me. The traditions that would have helped ease us into this momentous life-transition. CHANGING THE PLAN I had a different outline for this week’s episode that I finally set aside earlier today. It was a struggle to say exactly what I wanted to, and I finally realized that it was okay to let it go for now. I know I’ll get back to it next week, and I’m having grace with myself about it. And that’s why I’m sharing all this with you. YOU’RE NOT ALONE If you’re feeling sad, grieving the losses that the coronavirus quarantine has brought – big or small – know that you’re not alone. And I say that in all seriousness. While you may think that someone else’s grief or loss is bigger or more difficult than what you’re experiencing, they are not things that can be compared. Grief is grief and loss is loss, no matter the degree. It’s okay to acknowledge what you’re feeling, embrace your emotions, and let them pass through you. In fact, I would argue that the more you resist and fight against what you’re feeling, the longer you’ll be dealing with it. Giving yourself permission to sit with your emotions and truly feel them is a brave thing to do – because it can be painful. ENCOURAGEMENT AND COMPASSION I want to encourage you this week, if you’re struggling like I am, to have compassion with yourself. To treat yourself gently and validate all the things you’re feeling. Along those lines, I thought I’d share some of the strategies I’ve been using to cope this week. It’s been different each day, as I process all the things.   QUARANTINE COPING STRATEGIES Here’s what I’ve tried and recommend:   Nap Resting can give your brain time to process your emotions plus it has the added benefit of restoring your energy and helping reset your frame of mind. Reminisce I’ve found myself going through photo albums of my kids’ toddler years and even some of my high school scrapbooks and yearbooks, marveling at how quickly the years have flown by. Remembering events and milestones from the past has helped me prepare for the ones we’re about to walk through. Read You knew I’d be including that one! Indulging in a feel-good novel has helped me escape for a few hours. Not to mention giving me warm-fuzzies as I keep my reading material light and on the happily-ever-after side of things. Do a puzzle Who knew there’d ever be a puzzle shortage? I was oddly excited to get a new puzzle in the mail earlier this week. Don’t judge! Sorting by color and finding all the edge pieces is a zen place for me. Maybe it is for you too? Journal I try to spend a few moments every morning writing. I think I’ve shared before that I usually I start with 10 things I’m grateful for. Right now, I’m also writing about how I’m feeling, and describing some of the things I’m sad that we’re missing, and not just the big ones. Things like the reunion that is usually held at the kids’ elementary school for seniors, when teachers come back to see the adults their former students have grown into. Or coffee with friends, where we hug when we both get to the restaurant. In a weird way, I’m trying to put everything down so that later on, when my grandkids ask me what it was like the time the world shut down, I can pull out my journals and share. I know you have your own list too – why not put it down so you don’t forget? Go outdoors Whether it’s a walk or a bike ride or sitting outside with a drink to watch the sunset, being out in nature is a great way to give yourself a breather and reset. Do something for someone else I’ve found one of the best ways to get out of my own head is to focus on helping someone else. It doesn’t take much to write a note to a friend or pick up the phone and check on someone who is quarantining alone. And you can get creative with this – I have to share what someone in our neighborhood has done that’s brought a lot of joy to me, and I’m sure to others. They took stones, about the size of the palm of your hand, and painted them with all kinds of things – faces, encouraging sayings, cartoon characters, emojis – and placed them everywhere. Next to light poles and fire hydrants. Propped up against mailboxes. When we’ve been out walking, it’s been so fun to spot them. Something so simple, yet impactful. Let it go Be flexible with your expectations for yourself. If you’re finding it hard to stick to your “normal” schedule – like I am – have compassion with yourself. Give yourself permission to let things slide if you need some time to grieve, to process, to sit with your feelings. It’s okay to not be okay. What about you? So, there you have it. 7 ways to cope with the quarantine blues. (Plus 1 extra!) I’d love to know if these strategies resonated with you and if there are other things you’re trying as you walk through the challenge of this quarantine. You can be part of the conversation by joining me in my Facebook group, in the middle of it.

A couple of weeks ago we talked about Christ’s peace,And what it means for us to have Christ’s peace with/in/for us.This week I want to look at fear.What is fear?Fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain or harm;A feeling of anxiety regarding the likelihood of something.Now - knowing the definition of fear, let’s look at Romans 8:15 ***READ***Do you hear that?!We did not receive a spirit that makes us fearful slaves to sin!Well, what spirit did we receive then?According to Romans 8:15, we received the Holy Spirit.It says that we did not receive a spirit (lower case s) of fear,But instead, we received the Spirit of adoption (Spirit with a capitol S)…the Holy Spirit.The Spirit of God.Oh Church, this is about to get good.We received the Holy Spirit of God.Well, that’s great and all, but how does that relieve our fear?Where does our fear stem from?I mean as someone who knows right from wrong;As someone who is a rational human being;As someone who has been through some ups and downs and come out ok…Where does our fear come from?Well, what kind of fears are we talking about here, right?I am talking about fear of the future; fear of tomorrow; fear of failing;Fear of walking through a door we WANT to walk through…Fear that we will not do the right thing;Fear that God will be disappointed with me if I choose “wrong”;Fear of the immediacy of life and decision we think need to made right now;I am talking about deep seated fears that ultimately come from being deceived in the Garden of Eden.I am NOT talking about fear of snakes, or creepy crawlies, or clowns…I am talking about fear that hinders us everyday…The same fear that grabbed a hold of Adam and Eve.Sin brings with it fear,And for some of us, it I can be crippling to our walk with Christ.Now, the laws of God…the precepts of God…are written on our hearts and mindsJeremiah 31:33 ***READ***Now, this is for the Jews, but we see in Romans 2:14-15, that under the New Covenant (Christ),This reaches the Gentiles as well:14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) So you see, these precepts of God are there, and when we are not aligned with them,There is fear in our very soul because - when we are not aligned,With the will and heart of God - we are aligned with sin.And when we are slaves to sin; when we are controlled by our sinful nature,That causes this deep seated fear that seems irrational.Listen to Romans 8:5-6***READ***You hear that?When we are dominated by our sinful nature, we think about sinful things,And that leads to death…which carries with it profound fear.Conversely, those who have submitted to the Holy Spirit,Think about the things of the Spirit…Godly things, things that please the Holy Spirit,And this leads to life and peace, which carries none of that fear with it.Now, those
