A prayer based on Daniel 2:17-18. This morning I received an email from a friend asking for prayer. Her husband was getting ready to meet with another man for breakfast who was struggling in some pretty big ways…a difficult marriage, lost job, and major car wreck that totaled his only vehicle the night before. Stressed beyond his ability to cope, they actually feared for his life. So she texted and asked a group of close friends, myself included, to pray. And we did.  Over the years, having this group of friends I know will actually pray when I ask for help, who have supported me, encouraged me, corrected me, and poured life into me all in the name of Jesus has blessed me beyond measure.

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” ‭‭ Takeaways: You're not alone, and you don't have to navigate your mental health on your own. Ecclesiastes reminds us that there's strength in trusted friendships. While other people may not fully understand what you're going through, they can be a valuable resource. Here are a few good qualities to look for in a trusted friend: Someone who listens. Someone who encourages you. Someone who sticks with you through anything.

Are you ready to put more focus into what God has promised us and how to talk to God and hear from him? Are you ready to be encouraged as a Christian mom, wife and friend? I know how easy it is to let life get busy and not put God first. I have been there and I continously have to keep checking back in to make God and following Jesus my focus. It's not always easy but I keep working on following God's plan instead of pushing my own. And I want to help you do the same.How can we choose to do life a little bit different?

1. TikTok Launches 'TikTok Tactics' Online Course - TikTok has launched a new, video-aligned platform training course for marketers, designed to provide tips and insights on how to make the best use of the platform for brand promotion and development.The new ‘TikTok Tactics' course is an ‘easy to follow, best-practice guide to advertising on TikTok', which provides a range of lessons on attribution, targeting, creative best practices, and more.The course, which you can sign-up for here, focuses on four key elements: Attribution Targeting, Bidding + Optimization Catalog Creative You can sign-up and go through the TikTok Tactics course here.2. TikTok Instant Page Meets Users' and Brands' Needs for Speed - As it looks to maximize business engagement in the app, and boost its revenue opportunities, TikTok is rolling out a new ‘Instant Page' shopping display option, which will enable brands to connect their TikTok ads through to a lightweight, native landing page, built within TikTok itself, which will load up to 11 times faster than standard mobile pages.The process is a lot like Facebook's Instant Articles, with the content built into the app itself, as opposed to referring users off to a third-party website. In the case of Instant Articles, that comes with inherent problems, because it limits the data collection capacity of publishers, where the IA offering is primarily aimed. TikTok's Instant Pages are a little different, in that they're focused, ideally, on direct conversion for brands, but it is still a consideration. If people aren't clicking through to your site, and you're not getting referral traffic data, that could be a concern.To set up a TikTok Instant Page, businesses will need to create an eligible ad on TikTok Ads Manager (full eligibility details here) and then build an Instant Page as the destination link for the campaign.Once you've created an Instant Page, you can save it to your TikTok ad library, so you can add it to multiple campaigns.P.S: TikTok's Instant Pages are currently in testing, available via a TikTok sales rep, but they'll likely be rolled out to more businesses soon. Another consideration for your strategy.3. YouTube Creators to Receive a Separate Account for YouTube Earnings - Google sent emails to YouTube publishers that their YouTube AdSense payments will be separated from their other AdSense payments. So if you get paid through Google AdSense for AdSense ads on your sites and also on YouTube, you will now get payments individually for each.The issue is, that means each has to hit the $100 payment threshold individually and you might get paid out slower. That is, some publishers take time to hit the $100 payment threshold but when you combine AdSense for Search, AdSense for Content, YouTube, and other earnings together, you can hit the $100 payment threshold sooner. Now that Google is paying YouTube out differently, it may take you longer to get a payment from Google if your payments are small - thus hurting smaller publishers.4. YouTube Adds New Guided Support Process for Community Guidelines Violations - YouTube's looking to provide more guidance for creators who've been hit with guideline violations via a new, more detailed reporting process that will take them through the specifics of the issue with their content, and what they can do to resolve it.The updated process will provide more information on the specifics of each violation, and what it means for the visibility and monetization of your content, before taking you through the next steps of how you can resolve the issue.The review process specifies the element in question and then enables creators to update the clip to address the noted concern/s.The last element provides an easy way for creators to ask for a second review if they feel the report was incorrect, while they can also add additional contextual info for YouTube in relation to the violation reported.It's a good update, with many YouTube creators expressing frustration at the platform's current reporting process, which has seen a lot of videos penalized incorrectly. Violations are also reported via a general email template that offers little insight on specifics.5. The Rise of YouTube Shorts And Creator Economy Update - YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has shared an overview of the platform's key areas of focus for 2022, and where it sees new opportunities, which points to some interesting developments in the platform's roadmap, and for online video more broadly.Key elements of focus for YouTube include Shorts, its TikTok-like short video platform, which YouTube reports has now hit 5 trillion all-time views, underlining the potential of the format.Wojcicki also shared that:“The number of channels around the world making more than $10,000 a year is up 40% year over year [while] YouTube's creative ecosystem supported more than 800,000 jobs in 2020. Now there are 10 ways for creators to make money on YouTube. Last year, YouTube Channel Memberships and paid digital goods were purchased or renewed more than 110 million times.”6. Facebook Is Removing Profile Video Feature - Facebook has announced that it's removing video profile images as of February 7th, with people who currently have a video profile image being reverted back to a still picture instead.Originally launched in 2015, profile videos enable users to upload a 7-second video clip, which then loops on repeat, adding an animated, engaging element to their Facebook presence.It hasn't been a highly used feature, but some people have been able to create interesting, even entertaining profile video clips, which adds to the personality of their profile.It's not a major shift, and again, I doubt it will impact many users, nor that many people will care. But if you do have a video profile image, prepare to say goodbye to your clever, 7-second clip that encapsulated your ‘crazy' personality.7. Instagram Rolls Out A Live Banner Feature - Instagram has now outlined its new display of scheduled live streams on creator profiles, providing another way to raise awareness of upcoming live broadcasts in the app.The new display option will enable you to list your upcoming IG live streams on your profile, which, when tapped, will provide additional info in a pop-up prompt, where people can also sign-up for a reminder of when the stream is set to begin.Users can create as many scheduled lives as they like, with a side-scrolling list then added to your profile display.8. Twitter's New Flock Feature Lets You Tweet to Select Followers - Creating a separation between your public and personal lives has become more difficult than ever before due to the rise of social media, and there is no platform in which this difficulty of separation becomes more apparent than with Twitter. Having a large following on Twitter can often result in you being forced to censor yourself for fear of revealing too much to followers that you might not even know. Going private is one way to curb this issue, but many users felt that this left them between a rock and hard place because private Twitter accounts are rather limited in their scope.Twitter is trying to fix this by taking a leaf out of Instagram's book. Similar to how on Instagram you can have a circle of close friends that you share more personal or private content with that would not be visible to your regular followers, Twitter is rolling out a new feature called “Flocks”. You can add up to 150 people to your Flock, and anything that you tweet to said Flock would not be visible by anyone else. This gives most users the best of both worlds. We already saw an experiment called Trusted Friends back in July, and it seems that Twitter is now rolling it out properly with a new name that appears to be more or less on brand from most points of view.9. Twitter Updates Its Ad Platform - Twitter has announced some new updates to its ad platform which are designed to streamline ad targeting, while also providing more insights on campaign performance.First off, Twitter's changing the name of its ‘Website Clicks & Conversions' objective to ‘Website Traffic', a more generalized header, which will now also include a new ‘Site Visits Optimization' goal within your available campaign objectives.Now, when setting up a Website Traffic campaign, you'll be able to use ‘Site visits' as the goal, which will then direct Twitter's system to serve your ads to audiences most likely to visit your website. That will then enable Twitter's systems to better determine audience objectives, and present your ads to the right users. Twitter says that it's seen strong results with site visits in testing, and it'll be interesting to see whether the new goal generates a better direct response to your promoted tweets.In addition to this, Twitter's also adding a new aggregated view of site metrics and conversion events within Twitter Ads Manager, which Twitter's adding as a means to counter data loss as a result of Apple's ATT update, and more users opting out of in-app tracking.The process will utilize data gathered via Twitter's website tag to provide a generalized estimate of key metrics, by Ad Group, at campaign level, by device type (iOS or Android), and placement level, where possible. The data obviously won't be as accurate as you would get from direct reporting via the Twitter tag on each user response, but by providing some insight into user actions, Twitter will be able to replace a level of indicative insight that's been lost due to the iOS change.And finally, Twitter's adding a new ‘Events Manager' dashboard to manage your Twitter Website Tag and its associated web-based conversion events.The new Events Manager overview will provide in-depth insight on tag events, enabling you to better track and utilize the data being gathered from your site visitors.10. Microsoft Earnings: Search, LinkedIn Advertising Revenue Rise - Microsoft posted the second quarter of its 2022 financial results today, reporting revenue of $51.7 billion and a net income of $18.8 billion. Revenue is up 20 percent, and net income has increased by 21 percent.Search and news advertising revenue was up by 32% year on year, which is impressive when you consider the fact that Microsoft was not even a major player in this industry not too long ago which represents just how many new revenue streams it has developed over the years.Another area of growth is LinkedIn. The social media platform geared towards professional networking got a 37% increase in revenue year over year. A lot of that has to do with an increased demand for advertising on the platform, making this one of the most successful acquisitions that Microsoft has managed to complete during its recent history. LinkedIn has gone from being a relative footnote in the social media industry to a major player that is considered one of the top social media sites from an advertising point of view.Overall, Microsoft earned $10 billion from advertising alone if you include LinkedIn. It has also seen strong growth in some of its more traditional areas of expertise like PC which earned Microsoft well over $17 billion, representing a 15% increase in that area during a time when many other industries are seeing decreased sales.

This week we are learning all about positive affirmations: what they are, how they work, and our experiences with them. This is probably not the first time you’ve heard about affirmations, but just in case, the basic idea is that you repeat a phrase or mantra to yourself (or have a trusted friend repeat them to you!) until your brain replaces a negative thought you have about yourself with the positive phrase. We are really intrigued by the science behind affirmations and are interested in using them on ourselves (if we can get over talking to ourselves out loud in the mirror) and also with our children. We want to know, do you practice repeating affirmations to yourself? Have you seen or felt it make a difference in your life or someone you love’s life? Of course we want you to tell us allllllll the details! Join in the conversation on Instagram or in the Facebook Group, and don’t forget to tell a friend, rate, and review the podcast.

The post-Medical Apparel Startup Vibrating Therapeutic Apparel CEO Founder Wear VTA Amira Idris Show 016 was republished on listenupshow.com What we learn in this show: Our guest, Amira Idris, is CEO and Founder of Vibrating Therapeutic Apparel (VTA) that integrates wearable technology with vibration therapy. The patent pending technology is being used to create a line of therapeutic apparels that improve blood/fluid circulation and tissue activity in the body.  This patent pending technology is a wearable therapeutic product that uses vibration technology to improve performance, health, and quality of life. The Vibrosleeve is a device that helps amputees to keep their limbs healthy through massage that increases tissue activity, blood and fluid flow. Amira tells us that she is a tinkerer at heart who is constantly seeking ways to improve on products that she interacts with daily. She observes her environment to search for unmet needs, and she also enjoys the user-centered research that serves those needs. Her passion is prototyping and designing new devices. ​ Amira earned a Master’s of Science degree in Entrepreneurship and Design at the University of Delaware (UD), with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering, with minors in Biomechanical Engineering, and Bioelectrical Engineering from UD. The Story behind VTA: When VTA CEO Amira Idris was interning at a prosthetic clinic during her undergraduate studies at the University of Delaware, she came into contact with a disheartened amputee that would leave a lasting impact on her. She saw how depressed he was and came to understand of the 2 million people in the United States living with limb loss, a large percentage also feel the same. Part of the 80% of amputees also experiences a condition known as phantom limb pain (PLP). Concerned, Idris worked closely with prosthetic clients and discovered that this severe pain can lead to insomnia, difficulty functioning, and a decreased quality of life. Treatments for phantom limb pain include prescription drugs, massage, and physical therapy, but these methods aren’t always effective. Idris also noticed that there weren’t any solutions designed specifically for amputees to alleviate pain. Through research, interviews, and support, Vibrating Therapeutic Apparel was founded! Wear VTA and Pitch Competitions: Vibrating Therapeutic Apparel wins at the USASBE Student Exposition and Pitch Competition at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia. VTA competed with other schools around the Tri-State Area (NJ, PA, DE). The pitch was a business and entrepreneurship professional conference. They won the $5,000 grand prize, which will be going towards funding the research and continual development of VTA! VTA is making great progress on product development! Members of the team are collaborating with amputees to test and develop the vibrating sleeve. CEO Amira Idris and apparel technologist Danielle Dubay-Betters work together to fit and test a product prototype with a volunteer amputee. Idris explains how the sleeve works. VTA works with clients in the development of the vibrating sleeve and depends on client feedback on the sleeves effectiveness, quality, and overall feel to assist her in making products and achieve the VTA’s goal to build products that meet the needs of their clients.

On our next show 017 I interview Chris Lin inventor of Flip Wallet – now you know Chris as also going to the University of Delaware at the University of Delaware Horn Program and Amira you know him as being a fierce competitor during those pitch presentations – so we are really looking forward to that show 017.

  Crowdsourcing, Crowdfunding, entrepreneurial ventures.  Equity crowdfunding and crowdsourcing in the next ten years is going to be the next big thing. I have a friend who is a professional, smart, successful whose son is starting a software company. Guess what, they are going to use it. They are not going to use the big banks or VC's to fund them and they could if they really wanted to. For passive income this same friend has bought a lifestyle franchise / so for his next franchise purchase he is going to sell a share of the franchise store using, that's right, you guess it right, crowdfunding and he may consider crowdsourcing. So what is Crowdsourcing anyway and why should you Listen Up Trusted Friends to this viable alternative for obtaining those needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a larger group of people online rather than from traditional employees or suppliers. Now Crowdfunding its the use of small amounts of capital from a large number of individuals to finance your new or next business venture, startup. Crowdfunding makes use of your networked platforms through social media and other websites that get the word out about your new business and attracts investors. So why you ask? Crowdfunding - it increases entrepreneurship by expanding your pool of investors from whom funds can be raised beyond your traditional circle of owners, relatives and empower you to focus beyond the big banks and venture capitalists by using alternative means to expand your reach. Remember your smarter than most. Kickstarter IndieGoGo just to name a few. Take small donations for charitable, artistic endeavors or contributions to launch your new or existing business in return for the product being made, service, or some type of a thank-you So how can all this be done now you may ask - well the JOBS Act - so let me educate you but keep it entertaining - this Act creates a special exemption for crowdfunding so that companies can sell securities by way of crowdfunding. Generally, under the Act, companies are limited to raising $1 million in any 12-month period using crowdfunding and $2 million with audited financials. Companies cannot crowdfund on their own but will have to engage an intermediary that’s registered with the SEC as a broker or funding portal. These intermediaries will be required to vet the company seeking to fund. Individual investors will be limited in the amount they can invest by way of crowdfunding in any 12-month period to: if your annual income or net worth is less than $100,000 – the greater of $2,000 or 5 percent of annual income or net worth, or if your annual income or net worth is more than $100,000 – 10 percent of annual income or net worth up to a maximum of $100,000. When calculating net worth, you should not count the value of your primary residence or any loans secured by the residence (up to the value of the residence). Many other new and young entrepreneurs startups, franchises will want to do the same with their products and businesses as well.  Maybe our guests or Trusted Friends in the Listen Up Podcast audience. Just look at all the crowdfunding sites there are so many entrepreneurs that need help. I currently interview startups, young and new entrepreneurs on my podcast.  Take my recent interview with Scott Pecorello Show012 and next Friday I am interviewing Amira Idris on Show016. These startups are so interesting to listen to, they have a wonderful outlet right here on the Listen Up Podcast, the Mitchell Chadrow Show and mitchellchadrow.com, to increase their visibility, with all the Free Premium Resources that we provide right here as they get going.  All you have to do is subscribe at mitchellchadrow.com So the take away Listen Up Now the startup news - you to can raise crowdfunding and sourcing from non-accredited investors since 2012. So what, you may ask? This is a really big deal! Don't let someone scare you out of this possible and extremely appealing viable option instead of going directly to the big banks or VC's. Do you have to know what you are doing? Sure thing! That's why we have this community of Trusted Friends.  Education, Trust, not just saying we are authentic but in the actions as well not just the words. Doesn't matter if you can raise money from accredited investors, big banks or VC's. You can't rely on these entities to help you in the new economy and you must take action to consider other alternative options to raise your own funds. The crowd funding and sourcing way. Sure there can be a lot of noise in the Crowd but your crowd is smarter, right? Maybe. You'll get funded as well - they whisper? No guarantee but there are not many guarantees in life. There's no problem here - you are just trying to stack the deck in your favor. Naysayers will say beware caution ahead - well dealing with the big banks and VC's but maybe just maybe there are better opportunities to empower yourselves. So what must you and your non accredited know right off the bat? Yes, its the collective crowdsourcing experience of the group.  Well your a new or young entrepreneur so we are all on notice - correct!  The non accredited investors  are not the big banks or VC's - precisely - why we want them - by our side - I hope that is obvious.   The non accredited investors may have collective crowdsourcing sales or distribution experience and have experience in purchasing stocks in companies with great ideas. That's not the point. We are tired of relying on big banks and VC's for our education, training and thought control on what is or is not a good investment . These non accredited investors do love your startup concept, and do envision one in every household, thats the point of our interest in you and your company and our CrowdSourcing and the Group collectively is smarter and may even know more about getting it to the market, how to run the business, or achieve positive cash flow. We know that startups write business plan and the non accredited investors use that to fund it, but our experienced business owner guests and collective non-accredited investors are smarter then you may think, they know cash flow is important as well which at the end of the day provides the business with a viable business not merely a business plan. Do you really think that the big banks and the VC’s are the only individuals that can drill down and ask the right questions of our startups or are the only people that have the secret sauce to success about just how these products will be brought to market and become sustainable. Well, think again! Our Trusted Friends and the non-accredited investors out there are being educated right here and will know about the importance of the cash flow plan in addition to the business plan of these startups as an essential focus point for success in their investment. We interviewed Damian Salas in Show 014 from the Close School of Entrepreneurship and as these Young Entrepreneurs and new startups need to tell there story they know they have a wonderful platform right here on our show. Our Trusted Friends the Non-Accredited Investor is not as naive we know that sales are an essential part of a good idea of the startup - we have the Crowd and Sourcing here for education, training, and wisdom from past experiences. While we enjoy focusing on the product we are smart enough through proper crowdsourcing, delegating and listening to these startup management stories of the company. Sure we believe in our guest products and solutions especially when we are given a sample product so that these entrepreneurs can continue to grow, yes we believe that the startup will be able to manufacture and distribute the product in the future. By the way that's why smarter non-accredited investors are investing smaller amounts in many companies which help them diversify their own investment portfolio.  We are smarter then you think we believe in the management team and the story of the startup which determines the success or failure of the product. No, we are not going to oversimplify the sales process to lull us into a false sense of security in the product or startup. There is a lot of information out there online, in the stores and each day we can be overwhelmed by it. Yes, we are consumers but also entrepreneurs and Trusted Friends of a Community where we pride ourselves on educating ourselves, learning from one another right here right now. Yes, we are also producers and have faith that it takes more than just a positive response to the company offering. We must be realistic of the timing between the product time offering and when it's actually available to the public.    You know as a startup that the costs and time of production and distribution can be greater than you anticipate and build that into your plan. It will not deter nor discourage you as this Trusted Friends Community is here for support. Meanwhile, you now get that publicity right here, providing you and your companies with Free Premium Resources and better access to the market non-accredited investors with the Jobs Act can level the playing field and move on good ideas and have those new ventures and startups move first to market.   This can help the startup’s idea get to market so that does not becomes outdated. The guest startups here don't get a false sense of security after a successful Crowd Funding. You are well grounded and realistic especially when you get constructive feedback news – such as the idea can be much improved with better management, delivery, and achieving a positive cash flow. So launching the business is merely the starting point as well as what kind of money you can raise.  It’s all about the startups education and lessons learned which are required for what it takes to get to market and quantifying the actual cost of sales.  We are smarter than you think regardless of what is raised for the company.   The post CrowdFunding CrowdSourcing Entrepreneurial Ventures Show 015 appeared first on Startup Entrepreneur Listenup Show.
