I found a super impactful reminder from Simon Sinek, where he reminded us that: “The goal is not to be perfect by the end. The goal is to be better today.” Powerful reminder about not only that “perfect” isn't attainable, but also that we can't do much about the past & future - we have the present moment to focus on and do something with. For me, this got me thinking about beating myself up less and offering myself a bit more grace - as I keep trying to move forward. Little wins mean a lot each and every day!! That's all we need to focus on, or at least try. Thanks for listening.

With the recent WNBA draft that I was watching, I caught a post from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) where they shared a video clip of a partial interview full of wisdom and advice that all of us (especially me) need to connect with. “Just win every day that's in front of you. Don't worry about the future, don't worry about the past, don't worry about your mistakes. Don't worry about anything but what you're doing in that moment. Winning that day, conquering that day and just be where your feet are,” - Paige Bueckers (#1 overall pick) Again, connecting with life lessons - not for basketball, but for life - is so important throughout our journeys through life. Worrying is something that I've always done in my life and I'm finally figuring out I don't have to choose to worry, nor do I have to spend my time on it as much as I've done. This is something that I need to keep working on. Thanks for listening.

Found a short but sweet reminder about a few things from Jon Acuff (@JonAcuff) where he reminds us about … “A soundtrack I'm starting my week with: If you can worry, you can wonder. If you can spin, you can soar. If you can doubt, you can dare.” Now, this isn't meant to only be thought about to start a week off with. I think it's a great reminder for any day that we want to get better. I have been seeing and reflecting about a lot of things like this lately. Hope this helps you too with a few ideas that I shared.

I recently found this list of some of the Greatest Gifts you can give away - from Coach AJ (@coachajkings) and he starts it out with this: “14 of the greatest gifts that you can give today. The smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest differences. Generosity is the habit of giving freely without expecting anything.” These 14 sure do get me thinking about things I can do for others, but also for myself. It also reminds me of the fact that I need to keep working on these gifts too. Hope it helps you as well. Thanks for listening.

Alan Stein Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) had a couple of things posted that caught my eye. This first one is right on target about being aware of where our focus is going when dealing with people. He mentions: “When you can shift your focus to what you want FOR people instead of what you want FROM people, it's an absolute game changer.” One of his famous sayings is here too: “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” It's powerful to imagine more people focusing on these points and the great things that can happen for people when we take these views and put them into play in life.

Reading my daily dose of John Maxwell and from a couple of days ago this message was one that I had to share with you. It's all about the reminder that growth is a choice for all of us. The big thing is that change happens all the time, every day, whether we like it or not and whether we want it to or not. Everyone has to deal with it. Now growth, there is something that we all have a choice about. It's totally optional. It's totally up to us to choose to look to grow and get better. It's something that we can do little things every day that will add up to some major things later in life. The choice is clear for me. How about for you? Thanks for listening.

Another post came across my timeline and I wanted to get it out there for all of us to think about, and hopefully do something with too. Tracy McMillian reminds us that "time slips through your fingers while you're holding on to the things that don't matter." A fantastic reminder for me - hope for you too. Thanks for listening.

Amazing and powerful connection I saw on a Facebook group... all surrounding the true statement made by Morrie Schwartz long ago. He said that "death ends a life, not a relationship." This comes from Mitch Albom's incredible book, "Tuesdays With Morrie". This book is a must read for everyone. Here are some major connections that I made with this statement and the story I found it attached to. Thanks for listening.

If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you probably know that I created this new service at the agency – NATA PR SCHOOL – to teach you how to combine public relations with social media and your digital (online) strategies. Today, I felt like sharing a model of exceptional success with you. We at the agency are privileged to have begun working with a young brand of vegan handbags just a few months ago. In short order, we've expanded its reach and boosted its sales phenomenally. And since this is the perfect example of what I'm teaching you, I'd like to tell you about the key points in this success story. - Four years of work online to develop an engaged community and serve customers (some have become real fans) who buy the brand's new products every season. - A continuous combination of online and media articles (including a spot on a reality TV show about entrepreneurs, Dragons' Den, a kind of Shark Tank, for our friends in the US). I'm not going to delve into every area here. I may cover that in another podcast. I'm going to focus on the ongoing intense work that's brought the company to a point today where it's accelerating its growth. Before we worked together, the brand had already formed close ties with many influencers, one of whom had taken part in a reality TV show in a very limited market, namely Quebec (a Canadian province where French is the official language). This influencer, propelled by reality TV, has maintained close contact with her followers. Are you wondering where public relations fits into all this? I'm getting there. A collaboration was already underway with this influencer when we began our PR work for the brand. The question was how to launch this bag in the media while giving her all the space we could, despite her very busy schedule of events and launches. My first question was whether we could combine a press event with a shopping event in the influencer's hometown. Next, we had to make sure the brand had enough fans in that city to invite them to meet the influencer and give them the new handbags as a bonus. Our client's response: “Yes, we do have a large share of our fans living in that city, and they often ask us when we'll go and meet them.” I was thrilled with this response. Local media are often quicker than national media to take an interest in a well-known influencer. So we opted for a local strategy. Local TV was a major ally here. We managed to convince them to come and meet this influencer in her own city along with the brand's founder. The story exceeded all our expectations: special coverage at the scene of the event, with relevant editing and a prime-time broadcast on the evening news. The combined effect of social media and traditional media literally sent sales skyrocketing. In 24 hours, the company's biggest sales day had increased five-fold. The moral of the story is: It can be done! And that's exactly what we teach at NATA PR SCHOOL! Contact me for a free consultation or sign up for our upcoming training sessions. Free consultation.

Ever wanted to start a business to solve a problem but didn't know where to start and or you don't think you have the prerequisite knowledge to get it done? Vivian Kaye, the founder of Kinky Curly Yaki, found herself in that position TWICE; but she never let it stop her. Kinky Curly Yaki, her second business, was one of the first companies to make hair extensions for textured hair and was born out of her own desire to find blendable extensions that didn't compromise her own style. On this episode, I talk with Vivian about her career and entrepreneurial journey and the steps she took to both of her businesses in industries in which she had no prior knowledge or experience and how she's been able to troubleshoot her way to seven figure success.
