Podcasts about Revise

What would happen if you got crystal clear on what you really want—then wrote it down and studied it every day? Could you manifest your dream life...and partner? In this heartfelt and humorous episode, Rebecca and Seth dive deep into the power of manifestation. From Rebecca's very specific "husband wishlist" to their shared vision for health, family, and financial abundance, the couple explores how clarity, consistency, and specificity fuel real-life results. Inspired by an interview with manifestation coach Suzan Peltekian (airing July 11, 2025), Rebecca shares her “vision homework” and encourages listeners to take intentional steps toward creating the life they want. Whether it's a career shift, a dream car, or building a thriving family life, this episode is your loving push to journal it out, speak it into being, and manifest with purpose.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul testified before Congress Thursday about New York's immigration policies. Plus, a group of New Yorkers is suing the state, alleging it hasn't done enough to protect their food assistance benefits from being stolen.

Neste episódio, entrevistamos Paula Bazzo, 41 anos, palestrante, educadora e planejadora financeira. Pedimos a ela um passo a passo para você ter suas finanças na palma da mão. Segundo ela, a primeira medida é ter clareza quanto você ganha e quanto gasta. Anote, mesmo que seja num pedaço de papel. Feito isso, analise se seus gastos seguem a regra 50% (dinheiro para você viver com dignidade), 30% (qualidade de vida) e 20% (objetivos futuros, como a aposentadoria), ajustando onde necessário. Faça um planejamento anual, em vez de mensal. Por fim, crie uma reserva de emergência que cubra de 6 a 12 meses de gastos. Revise suas finanças regularmente. Invista em educação financeira, pratique pequenas ações alinhadas à sua realidade e, se necessário, busque ajuda de um planejador financeiro.

(The Center Square) – Much of the funding for Sound Transit's projects, including ST3, has come from federal grants. In the past seven years, it has secured a total of $3.8 billion, with $9 billion expected in future grants for ST3. However, as the transit system struggles to recover its pre-pandemic ridership volumes, the agency faces a growing fiscal challenge due to what a spokesperson says are rising property values and increased construction costs. Those challenges could affect how much money it can expect, or need, from the federal government. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxRead more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_8a4c890d-546b-49d9-b332-bc8731a425d0.html

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Comentamos cómo ha afectado el apagón a la industria española, especialmente a la de la automoción y detalles sobre el rearranque de las fábricas de coches en España. • Parón industrial masivo tras el gran apagón en la Península • El corte eléctrico del 29 de abril dejó sin suministro a España y Portugal, forzando paradas de emergencia en refinerías (Petronor Muskiz, Repsol Tarragona, Cepsa/Moeve) y activando antorchas de seguridad con visibles columnas de humo. • Las plantas siguen detenidas y no hay fecha de reactivación; el impacto económico aún no se ha podido cuantificar. • Automoción: más de 4 000 vehículos sin producir y líneas paralizadas • Ford Almussafes, VW Landaben, Seat Martorell, Ebro Factory y otros centros detuvieron todas las cadenas a las 12:30 h; generadores propios no cubren la demanda total. • Fabricantes evalúan añadir turnos de fin de semana en mayo para recuperar atrasos; de momento se descartan ERTE y se aplicará bolsa de horas. • Efectos en siderurgia, química y proveedores • La siderúrgica Celsa y firmas petroquímicas de Tarragona interrumpieron operaciones de alto consumo energético. • Proveedores de componentes de automoción y otras grandes industrias también frenaron producción a la espera de restablecer el sistema eléctrico. • Sector farmacéutico y pymes: resiliencia parcial • Multinacionales como Grifols y Boehringer mantuvieron actividad gracias a grupos electrógenos; patronales aconsejan priorizar comunicaciones y seguridad con generadores propios. • El incidente revela la vulnerabilidad del tejido productivo ante interrupciones súbitas y la dificultad de reiniciar plantas complejas. • Riesgos sistémicos y contexto • Red Eléctrica investiga la causa del colapso; la dependencia de renovables y el papel crítico de la nuclear vuelven al debate. • El apagón llegó días después de que Repsol alertara de un gran fallo de suministro en Cartagena, subrayando la necesidad de planes de contingencia energética. 1. Activación del Plan de Contingencia y Comité de Crisis 1.1 Inmediatamente después del blackout, convoque al Comité de Crisis (Dirección de Planta, Mantenimiento, EHS, Calidad, IT/OT, Producción, Utilities). 1.2 Compruebe que el Manual de Plan de Contingencia Eléctrica (versión vigente) esté a mano en sala de Control. 1.3 Designe a un Coordinador de Re-arranque que centralice la comunicación con el Centro de Control Eléctrico (REE o distribuidora local) y con los responsables de área. 2. Aseguramiento inmediato de la seguridad operacional 2.1 Verifique que todas las líneas se encuentran mecanicamente bloqueadas (paros de emergencia, enclavamientos de prensas, robots en posición segura, válvulas neumáticas cerradas). 2.2 Confirme la activación de UPS y grupos electrógenos críticos (servicios contra-incendios, servidores MES/ERP, iluminación de evacuación). 2.3 Realice un pase de seguridad por todas las áreas de alto riesgo: soldadura robotizada, cabinas de pintura con compuestos volátiles, pits de prensas y fosos de catforesis. 3. Evaluación del estado de suministro y calidad eléctrica 3.1 Reciba confirmación oficial de la energía de retorno (grid OK). 3.2 Revise parámetros de calidad: tensión (±5 %), frecuencia (49,8-50,2 Hz), THD (0,95). 3.3 Realice pruebas de carga gradual en CCMs secundarios antes de energizar MCCs de proceso. 4. Inspección eléctrica y de utilidades internas 4.1 Compruebe interruptores de potencia, fusibles, barras y tierras en subestación 30/6 kV y celdas de media tensión. 4.2 Inspeccione transformadores de distribución: nivel de aceite, temperatura y ΔP en bombas ONAN/ONAF. 4.3 Verifique arranque secuencial de compresores de aire, grupos de refrigeración, calderas y HVAC de cabinas. 5. Revisión de equipos de proceso y sistemas de control 5.1 Realice checklist mecánico-eléctrico en:  • Prensas Transfer & Tandem: nivel hidráulico, enclavamientos, finales de carrera.  • Robots soldadura: home position, circuitos de agua/glycol, pinzas.  • Catenarias de pintura: tensiones de cadena, sensórica de posición.  • AGVs y EMS: estado de baterías, comunicaciones Wi-Fi/5G. 5.2 Reinicie secuencialmente PLCs y Safety-PLC; valide checksum de programas y tiempos de ciclo. 5.3 Arranque servidores MES, SCADA y dispositivos IoT; compruebe sincronismo con ERP; habilite interconexión EDI con proveedores Just-in-Time. 6. Pruebas en vacío y con “racks testigo” 6.1 Ejecute “dry-run” de cada línea (sin piezas) para observar vibraciones, paradas inesperadas o alarms críticas. 6.2 Introduzca racks testigo (carrocerías dummy, bastidores de tren motriz) y realice el primer First-Off controlado por Calidad. 6.3 Liberación gradual: Soldadura > Pintura > Montaje final > Pruebas de pista interna. 7. Validación de Calidad y recalibración de procesos 7.1 Dimensional: pase de carrocería por CMM y láser gap-flush; tolerancias ISO 8062/8015. 7.2 Pintura: ensayo de espesor (μm), adhesión (cross-cut), brillos (GU) y cabina clase A. 7.3 Powertrain: correas de rodaje y dinamómetro en banco EoL; correlación con SPC histórico. 7.4 Ajuste fino de parámetros si se detectan derivas >1 σ respecto al CP/CPK nominal. 8. Reactivación de logística interna y externa 8.1 Reinicie kanban y milk-run; notifique a proveedores Tier 1/Tier 2 el ETR (Estimated Time to Resume). 8.2 Verifique que almacenes automatizados (AS/RS) y shuttle conveyors funcionan con inventario correcto. 8.3 Establezca plan de recuperación de volumen: horas extras, turnos de fin de semana, line-balancing temporal. 9. Comunicación y reporting 9.1 Informe interno a Dirección y casa matriz: duración de parada, líneas afectadas, producción perdida, OEE estimado, coste preliminar. 9.2 Parte a autoridades laborales/regionales si procede (>4 h de parada o activación de plan de emergencia). 9.3 Comunicación transparente a clientela OEM (si planta de componentes) o red comercial (si planta vehículo completo) con nuevo week-plan de envíos. 10. Revisión post-evento y acciones de robustez 10.1 Reunión “hot-wash” 24 h después: listado de incidencias, MTTR, piezas dañadas, mejoras de mantenimiento predictivo. 10.2 Actualizar Plan de Continuidad de Negocio:  • Capacidad mínima de back-up (generadores diésel >20 % demanda pico).  • Protecciones de sobretensión y almacenamiento energético (BESS).  • Prácticas ciberseguras OT-IT (segmented VLAN, firewalls, backups off-line). 10.3 Programar simulacro anual de pérdida total de red para verificar tiempos de respuesta y ajuste de roles.

Sure, mistakes are “sticky” because there are emotions attached to them, but they are also sticky because of how we treat them. When we replay a mistake over and over again in our minds, a neural pathway is formed - and it's not a pathway that serves us. By using “revision” we can alter that mistake before we file it away in our memory bank.

We all think we know what self-talk is. But I think we miss the gravity of it. I'm reminded of the joke where one fish asks another fish "how's the water?" The other fish replies, "what the heck is water?" We were never introduced to our own self-talk, it was there since the day we were conceived to varying degrees. We are not necessarily conscious of it. In this episode we expand on self-talk to help you conceptualize how it is your very perception of life. My guest is Marianne Renner. I've gotten to know Marianne well over the last year and she has a real story of not only changing her self-talk, but transforming herself in a way that she can't really even recognize the person she used to be. She lost her mom at an early age and was left with a broken hearted father. She fell into addiction. She considered ending her life. Even tried. And then had one of those divine moments of clarity. To me it is akin to the fish all of the sudden realizing it was in water. Marianne has not just changed her life, she has changed the very essence of the person she is, and she's thriving. She has a new book coming out, Self-Talk: 10 Stories You Tell Yourself That Hold You Back…And How to Overcome Them. On a personal side, one of Marianne's mentors in her journey to remake herself and her life, was my father. Dan Miller. He encouraged her to write a book. She did, completing it right around the time my Dad died. She had him in mind to write the forward to her book. But in his absence, she asked me to carry on the legacy. I am incredibly honored to have written a heartfelt forward for Marianne's book. I'm honored for multiple reasons, the top one being, I feel this is a message we all desperately need.

March presents a powerful period of eclipses, demanding both surrender and decisive action. To navigate this transformative energy, embrace the mystery of the universe and allow yourself to "go with the flow." This month calls for deep introspection and spiritual growth, where daily practice will yield significant rewards in the months ahead. The Virgo Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on March 14th at 2:54 am ET, occurring at 23 degrees Virgo with the Sun at 23 degrees Pisces, initiates a six-month cycle of closure and practical action. This eclipse highlights areas of health, wellness, and wellbeing, challenging us to confront our shadows and move towards a higher octave. It's a time to address addictive behaviors, clear clutter, and make decisive changes for optimal health. With Uranus active, expect sudden and radical shifts, a "lightning bolt" of change that may be both enlightening and challenging. Embrace change, clear physical and mental clutter, and plant seeds for positive transformation. Tie up loose ends, finish projects that no longer serve you, and focus on "low-hanging fruit" – simple, practical steps that contribute to your higher vision. Remember, obstacles are opportunities to fine-tune your point of attraction, guiding you towards your true aim. Following the Virgo Eclipse, the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29th at 6:58 am ET at 9 degrees Aries brings a "spicy, salty, kick" of initiator energy. However, with Mercury retrograde and Uranus's active half square, expect heightened anxiety and potential breakdowns or breakthroughs. Neptune's transit through the final degree of Pisces adds to the intensity, blurring lines between transcendence and delusion. This eclipse is about bold action, individuality, and taking responsibility. Set intentions for the next six months, focusing on practical steps and asking for help. Break free from limiting beliefs, embrace your boldness, and take action in areas like career, health, and relationships. Revise your resume, prioritize wellness, and redefine your relationships with clear boundaries. Address financial deservability and trust in your worthiness. Throughout this period, practice self-compassion, be true to yourself, and trust the universe. Surrender to the mystery while taking decisive action. Embrace the quantum leap, knowing that "the cream will rise to the top." Remember Neville Goddard's teachings: obstacles are challenges designed to refine your point of attraction. Use this time to ask, "How am I useful?" and take practical steps, one day at a time, to fulfill that purpose.

If you've been a long-time reader or a contracting company owner, you've probably heard about "Cost of Goods Sold" (COGS). But what does it really mean, and why is it crucial for your construction business's success? Understanding COGS isn't just about accounting—it's about making smart decisions for profitability, pricing, and more.    1. What is the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)?    COGS represents the direct costs of creating the products/services your business sells/provides. These include materials, labor hours, and even manufacturing overheads. Any expense that contributes directly to a product's creation is included in COGS.   COGS provides critical insights into your business's efficiency and profitability. It's a fundamental metric showing how much you spend to produce inventory relative to your sales.     Contractors often ask us if they can buy our Chart of Accounts with Cost of Goods Sold and import them into their QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online file. The answer is yes! We also offer the complete QB Setup Template. 2. What are the components of COGS?  COGS isn't one-size-fits-all. It includes different types of costs depending on your business.  Here are the main components typically included in COGS: Materials: Raw ingredients or parts used to provide your service Payroll: The wages you pay to employees directly involved in production Manufacturing Overheads: Indirect costs required to produce services, such as equipment depreciation or utility costs.  Note  General overheads, such as office or marketing costs, are not included in COGS—only expenses tied directly to production count.  3. How do I calculate COGS?  Fortunately, calculating COGS follows a straightforward formula: COGS = Beginning inventory + Purchases during the period – Ending inventory  Breaking it down: Beginning inventory: The inventory value on hand at the start of the accounting period.  Purchases: All costs for new inventory bought or manufactured during the period.  Ending inventory: The value of unsold inventory at the period's end.  Example Calculation  Imagine you run a small boutique that sells handmade gifts. If: Your beginning inventory is $5,000,  You spent $8,000 on materials and production, and  Your ending inventory is $2,000,  Then your COGS would be:  $5,000 + $8,000 – $2,000 = $11,000  This $11,000 represents the cost of creating the products you sold during the period.  But wait - that is for a retail business. Simple. What about construction? Direct Costs are tied to the jobs (field labor, materials, and other cost items). Office materials (pencils, paper, toner, etc.) are overhead. Yes, an accountant could say these many pencils are used in the field and that notepad is used in the truck.  The answer is the dividing line of the direct costs to the job: the Costs of Goods Sold (COGS). That is why we've created our Chart of Accounts, which you can use inside QuickBooks, depending on your type of construction business. Most COGS accounting methods you will find are for inventory valuation, which is confusing to most contractors. Confusion always arises about the material. A construction contractor may purchase material and resell it to their customer at cost, thinking it is a reimbursable expense. (You lose money when doing this.)   Remember, all invoices to the Customer (Retail, General Contractor, Spec Builder, Developer) are income. Washington State has a clear explanation. If the words are on the invoice, then the invoice is either taxable or non-taxable based on other factors. Every line item on a customer invoice is income.   Purchases for the material are the Cost of Goods Sold or expenses if you are short-cutting your accounting. I have seen financial statements backed out because they will reflect reimbursable income as a negative number, thereby showing it as a deduction. (The net effect is double-dipping on the expense side.) The cause is that the accounting software is not being correctly set up. We fix bad QuickBooks setups for Construction Contractors. New Construction Home Building is another area of confusion. In the mind of many construction contractors, a Spec home is any new house being built for resale. That is true; it is a New Construction House. The question is on the construction accounting side. For the Owner and Developer (who might be the General Contractor running the job), it is a Spec Home.  For the General Contractor who is building a New Construction Home for a Developer, it is NOT a Spec Home. Why might it seem the same as both are New Construction Houses? The question to be answered is, "Who owns the house?" - It is a Spec House in the accounting system for THE OWNER.     If the General Contractor does not own the house, then from the accounting side for that specific General Contractor, the house is a Custom Home with an owner who is not the General Contractor.   Suppose the General Contractor or developer owns the new house being built. In that case, it is a Spec House in the Accounting System. All costs roll up into WIP (Work-In-Process) and convert to COGS when the house is sold, not before. Recognize expenses when the home sells. Otherwise, expenses one year and sales the next equals taxes.    In Washington State, all construction contractors working for a spec builder must collect sales tax on all services (labor and material) when billed by the general and trade construction contractors. In Washington State, all Construction Contractors working on Custom Homes, Residential or Commercial Projects, large or Small Remodels, or Handyman Projects can accept a reseller permit from the General Contractor. The general contractor bills and collects sales tax from the Owner.   In Washington State, Contractors must collect sales tax on all retail projects, including Labor, Materials, and others. Sales tax must be collected on every line item. Customer Discounts can be given for any reason. And that is just for one state. Pro Tip  Consult with your accountant to identify the best method for your business—tax implications vary by approach.  4. Why does understanding COGS matter?  Knowing your COGS is a game-changer for managing and growing your business. Here are some ways it benefits you: Profitability analysis - COGS is crucial for calculating gross profit. Subtracting COGS from revenue reveals how much your products contribute to your bottom line.  Pricing strategy - Understanding how much a specific project costs allows you to set prices that cover expenses while leaving room for profit.  Financial reporting - COGS is necessary for accurate income statements and tax reporting. It also demonstrates operational efficiency, which is key for attracting investors or securing loans.  Tax benefits - COGS are deductible, reducing your taxable income. The more precise your calculations, the better-positioned you'll be during tax season.  5. How can your accountant help  Managing COGS can be complex, but you don't have to go through it alone. Your accountant is your best ally when navigating this process.  They can: Help you set up your Contractor Chart of Accounts Ensure all eligible expenses are accounted for (and not missed!).  Revise your tax strategy while staying compliant with regulations.  One of the most dangerous and difficult steps in setting up the Chart of Accounts is during QuickBooks setup, especially for contract service-based businesses. Get this one thing right, and your QuickBooks for contractors can generate useful financial and job costing reports. If you get it wrong, you will never get useful reports, no matter who handles your contractor's bookkeeping services needs. The reports you do get could lead you to make decisions based on insufficient information that could destroy your entire construction company. A thought  Understanding your Cost of Goods Sold isn't just an accounting exercise—it's the foundation for business success. Calculating and tracking COGS effectively will empower you to make better pricing, profitability, and growth decisions.  Why struggle with numbers when you can partner with someone who lives and breathes construction accounting? Freeing up your time lets you focus on growing your business. You are never too small for us to help, and we can help you begin with your first day in business.    I am looking forward to being of assistance.   About The Author: Sharie DeHart, QPA, is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood, Washington.

In the latest episode of the Building Better Businesses podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche dive into the art of elevator pitch strategies—a crucial tool for entrepreneurs, developers, and business owners looking to set themselves apart from the competition. This episode explores how to craft a compelling narrative, niche down your audience, and refine your pitch strategies for maximum impact. Why Elevator Pitch Strategies Matter The episode begins with a candid discussion between Rob and Michael about the challenges of entrepreneurship, including finding the balance between good and bad days. They acknowledge the importance of persistence and the ability to adapt—both of which are key when it comes to perfecting your elevator pitch strategies. As Rob puts it, an elevator pitch is more than just explaining what you do—it's about creating a story that resonates. Many developers struggle to answer the question, What do you do? in a way that's engaging and memorable. Too often, the response is a flat, I write code. Instead, they should focus on painting a picture of the value they bring to clients and customers. What Are Elevator Pitch Strategies? Elevator pitch strategies are techniques used to craft a brief and persuasive speech that sparks interest in what you or your business does. Ideally, it should be concise enough to deliver in the time it takes to ride an elevator—around 30 seconds. The goal is to be clear, compelling, and memorable. Why Your Business Needs Strong Elevator Pitch Strategies Your pitch serve multiple purposes: Quickly communicate your unique value proposition Help you stand out in networking situations Can be used in job interviews, sales calls, or investor meetings Ensure you're prepared to talk about your business at any moment Crafting Effective Elevator Pitch Strategies Rob and Michael discuss several key elements of a strong pitch: Focus on the Problem You Solve Instead of stating what you do, articulate what problem you solve. For example, instead of saying, I develop software solutions, say I help businesses streamline their operations by automating their most time-consuming tasks. Keep It Simple and Clear Your pitch should be easy to understand, even for someone outside your industry. Avoid jargon that only insiders would recognize. Make It Memorable Storytelling is a powerful way to create a lasting impression. Use analogies or real-world examples to make your pitch stick in people's minds. Differentiate Yourself What sets you apart from the competition? This could be your approach, your unique expertise, or the specific market you serve. Practice and Refine The best way to perfect your elevator pitch strategies is to practice in front of a mirror, with friends, or even record yourself. Adjust your wording, tone, and body language to ensure confidence and clarity. How Elevator Pitch Strategies Help You Target the Right Audience One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to appeal to everyone. Rob emphasizes that focusing on a specific audience makes your elevator pitch strategies stronger and more effective. For example, a software developer might start with, I develop custom web applications. But a more refined version could be, I build automation tools for small businesses looking to streamline inventory management and reduce manual errors.The second version is much more targeted and likely to attract the right customers. Real-World Examples of Elevator Pitch Strategies Michael shares his own journey of improving his pitch. Initially, his approach to Quality Assurance (QA) services was too broad, making it difficult to sell. Over time, he refined it to focus on a test-driven QA approach tailored to businesses that prioritize reliability and user experience. Similarly, major brands like Apple have used simple yet powerful pitch, such as 1000 songs in your pocket to describe the iPod. They didn't get bogged down in technical details but instead focused on the experience and value. The Challenge: Create Your Own Elevator Pitch Strategies At the end of the episode, Rob and Michael challenge listeners to refine their own elevator pitch strategies. The challenge is simple: Write down what you do in a single sentence. Identify the key problem you solve for your ideal client. Revise your pitch to focus on value and storytelling. Practice in front of a mirror or with friends. Share with the community for feedback. This exercise helps you hone in on your messaging and ensures that when the opportunity arises, you'll be ready with compelling and memorable elevator pitch strategies. Bonus Tips for Delivering Elevator Pitch Strategies Effectively Engage with your audience – Make eye contact and be personable. Tailor your message – Adjust your approach depending on who you're speaking to. Use a hook – Start with a question or statement that immediately grabs attention. End with a call to action – Provide a way for people to follow up, whether it's a business card, website, or social media. Final Thoughts Strong elevator pitch strategies can open doors and create opportunities. It's not just about selling a product or service—it's about making meaningful connections. Whether you're a developer, entrepreneur, or business owner, investing time in refining your pitch will pay off in the long run. Want to hear more about how to build a better business?

Welcome to 2025, my friend! This is the year to approach your business with clarity, focus, and intention. Just like you might declutter your home or tidy up your fridge at the start of a new year, your business deserves the same attention. If decision fatigue and lack of focus held you back last year, these 10 actionable ideas will help you hit reset and start 2025 on the right foot. 10 Smart Hacks to Give Your Business a Fresh Start in 2025 1. Clean Out Blog Drafts Those unfinished drafts lingering in your blog dashboard? They might be doing more harm than good. Seeing a long list of incomplete posts can subconsciously weigh you down. Pro Tip: Use the WP All Export plugin to save unfinished drafts into a spreadsheet. This way, you can revisit your ideas without cluttering your dashboard. A clean slate means you can focus on creating new, high-quality content. 2. Review and Remove Plugins Unused plugins can slow down your site and negatively impact page speed—an essential factor for keeping readers engaged. Action Step: Deactivate and delete plugins you haven't used in the last three months. If you're hesitant, create a list of the removed plugins for future reference. 3. Update Blog Post Titles for 2025 Do you have posts with “2024” in the title? Update them to reflect the new year to keep your content relevant. Pro Tip: Use “find and replace” tools or your content management system's search function to locate and revise titles efficiently. Avoid including years in URLs to save yourself extra work. 4. Refresh Your About Page Your about page is like your digital business card—it's often the first place readers and brands look to learn more about you. Update Checklist: Replace outdated images with fresh ones. Verify that all links are functional. Revise your bio to reflect your current goals and accomplishments. Need guidance? I've linked a handy template in the show notes to help you create an about page that shines. 5. Audit Your Opt-Ins Are your opt-ins converting as well as they should? Check to ensure your lead magnets are still relevant and working properly. Action Step: Review your conversion rates and tweak underperforming opt-ins. If one performs significantly better than the others, analyze what's working and apply those strategies across the board. 6. Update Your Footer Date A small but essential detail: update the copyright year in your site's footer to 2025. This shows your audience (and potential partners) that your site is actively maintained. 7. Clear Out Your Email Inbox An overflowing inbox is mentally draining. Quick Fix: Create a folder labeled “2024” and move all emails from last year into it. Start fresh with an empty inbox for 2025. Dedicate time each week to tackle the older emails if necessary. 8. Organize Your Browser Tabs Are you guilty of having dozens of open tabs? Grouping and decluttering your browser tabs can save your computer's memory and your sanity. Pro Tip: Use Chrome's “Group Tab” feature to categorize tabs by color and purpose. Then, close or delete tabs that no longer serve you. 9. Address Unfinished Courses If you've purchased online courses you haven't completed, it's time to either dive in or let them go. Action Step: Add unfinished courses to your planner with specific dates to tackle them. Skim through to decide if they're still relevant. If not, remove them to free up mental space. 10. Declutter Your Phone Apps and Photos Your phone is your portable office—keep it streamlined for maximum efficiency. Declutter Checklist: Delete apps you rarely use (you can always re-download them later). Back up your photos and videos using apps like Amazon Photos or external hard drives. Organize essential apps into folders for easy access. Start Your Year with a Plan The key to staying consistent and productive in 2025 is planning.

What is a worldview? AI defines it as a person's or society's fundamental way of thinking about the world, and it's made up of their values, beliefs, and expectations. I take this one step further to say your worldview ends up being your experience of life. People by far and large think reality makes up their life experience. A reality would be the latest presidential election, but as we all know, the experience people had of it is vastly different. I submit their experience of it is their worldview, as it can't be reality. And people will debate this based upon two things - Faith & Prediction.
