Have you ever struggled with your own productivity? Penny Zenker, my guest this week on The Sigrun Show, is a business strategy coach who helps her clients focus on the most important areas to grow their business, be more productive and make more profit. When Penny's father passed away unexpectedly when she was 19 years old, she learned how to get clear on what was truly important to her. She shifted to only doing what brought her joy and gave her a sense that her time was well invested. Creating solutions that would improve processes soon became her passion and she went on to build a multi-million technology business. But she felt herself burning out and thought about the 80/20 rule: Was she really focusing on those 20% that would get her 80% of the results? To be able to make her family her main priority and spend more time with her children, Penny decided to do things differently and started a coaching business. Today, she helps her clients to think and act more strategically and be more productive. In this episode, Penny talks about how you can focus on growing your business and making a profit at the same time, and how you can improve your productivity every day. She also reveals the 8 profit levers you can apply to increase the profit in your business. If you want to be more productive and increase the profit you make with your business at the same time, this episode is for you. “One of the key things that helps us be more productive is structure.” - Penny Zenker In this Episode of The Sigrun Show: How losing her father made Penny see what is important in life What led Penny into coaching How Penny found her niche Focusing on profit Growing and making profit at the same time Penny's 8 profit levers How to start increasing your productivity every day Penny's new book “The Productivity Zone” Perfectionism for women vs men What productivity has to do with confidence Want to know about more ways you can be productive and focus on profit? Find out how to be productive during this crisis or how journaling makes you more productive. 8 Profit Levers That Help You Become More Productive by Being Profit Focused Creating a thriving business is not all about growth. If you think you'll only make a profit by creating more leads and putting more ads out there, Penny's here to prove you wrong. While the common business model is to build your following and hold off from making a profit for a period of time until your leads turn into profitable customers, Penny says it's possible to make profit while you grow - by implementing profit levers that focus on your existing clients. Here, she shares the 8 profit levers that help you be profit focused in your business. New lead development Every business needs growth, but it's important that it's positive growth. While the rest of Penny's profit levers focus on your existing customers, this first one goes towards creating new leads and attracting potential, profitable customers. Raise your average purchase price Your existing customer has an average purchase price. Think about what you can do to increase it. Maybe it's time to raise your prices, bundle your services into a package or partner with someone and get an affiliate commission? Increase frequency Think about how you can increase the frequency by which your customers buy from you. If they're on a monthly program and already interested in what you do, maybe they're open to something more frequent that they receive on a weekly basis. Automation Where could you automate your business so that the system will be able to do it without you? By automating something you can reduce the cost that goes into it, as well as save time. Extending customer lifetime value If a customer typically works with you for one year, how can you create something that keeps them in your world for longer? Find additional value that you can deliver to them. Enhancing customer loyalty People tend to leave you when they think you don't care. Build a relationship and create more interaction. Your goal should be to turn your customers into raving fans. Boosting referrals Even though this generates new leads, it's doing it with our existing customers. Referrals are four times more likely to buy because they've been referred by someone who they know and trust, so you're getting a credibility factor from the existing customers you have. Sales conversion You already have a lead flow that comes in, but instead of investing the money in the conversion process, invest the money in the new acquisition. This is an optimisation strategy where you focus on closing more of what you have coming in and only then ramp up to get more leads. Step back and see which one of these profit levers has the greatest value for you right now and start implementing it to make your business more profitable. Which profit lever are you going to try out? I'm curious to know! You can follow and connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Have you signed up for the Live Bootcamp yet?

Welcome back to the Whole View, episode 402 - not 42. (0:27) Sarah is full of punny jokes. Stacy and Sarah are excited to finally share Sarah's big news! This episode is being pre-recorded because on the normal recording day, Sarah is bringing home a brand new puppy. Sarah grew up with all kinds of pets, and as an adult, she has had cats. However, she has wanted a dog forever, but she has been waiting for the right time. Sarah's husband grew up with no pets and doesn't have much comfort with dogs. The girls have also been skittish around dogs to date, and she knew that a puppy would be a good starting place for them. Sarah has been waiting for a long enough break from travel to be able to commit to a puppy. When Sarah's health crashed last fall her daughter told her it was the perfect time to get a dog, and Sarah couldn't have agreed more. This has been in the works since then. Sarah's Experience with Finding a Dog Sarah has been researching dog breed characteristics and they decided to get a Portuguese water dog. She did her research to not just find the right breed for her, but for her family as well. With various levels of anxiety in Sarah's family, she knew that supporting mental health was a key piece in this all. She wanted a dog that was social, cuddly, and interactive. Having a dog that gets Sarah out of the house was also key, as she wanted a breed that needs a lot of activity. The other piece that Sarah was looking for was a smart, highly trainable dog. Portuguese water dog checked all of these boxes. They need physical exercise as well as mental exercise every day. Getting a hypoallergenic breed was also a must. Once they found the breed they wanted, they did a ton of research to find the right breeder. Sarah shared more on how she selected the breeder. They will have a new family member! Stacy's Experience with Finding a Dog Stacy noted that we are all individuals in our health and lifestyle needs. (12:30) We are also individuals in our pet needs. From personal experience, Stacy's family has rescued probably about twenty animals over the course of her life. Stacy shared more on her experience with bringing a rescue dog into their family. They were not considering bringing a dog into the house again until the boys prepared a presentation about the different types of dogs and their traits. The kids selected three breeds and provided explanations on why they thought these were good options for their family. It was Matt and Stacy doing more research that allowed them to determine that an emotional support therapy animal was actually a really good idea for their family. In doing research and finding a breeder who specializes in emotional support therapy animals, they were able to find the right dog for their family. Selective smart breeding, like Sarah, was a key detail that Matt and Stacy looked for. The Impact of a Pet Joining the Family Stacy has never had a dog that she has bonded with that has made such a difference in her life the way that Penny has. There is a difference in a special needs home, and an animal (regardless of what kind) can have a lot of benefits to the mental health of each family member. Stacy wants to put it out there that this is not an advertisement for purchasing a puppy mill puppy. She is not here to tell anybody what they should or should not do, or that the choices they made are either right or wrong. There is no guilt or shame associated with the route you take. Just like with health and lifestyle, looking back and having negative emotions is never productive. What we can do is say, now I'm educated and I'm going to make the best choices that I can with the knowledge that I have. It is important that you understand what kind of pet you are getting, especially if you have a high needs home. Be mindful of what you are getting into, which encompasses so many different perspectives. There are different animals that have different temperaments based on both genetics and how they have been raised. It can be a wonderful experience. Stacy couldn't have imagined that getting a dog would have gone so well for her family. When Penny came into the family, Stacy saw an immediate change in one of their children who has depression and anxiety. Penny also fulfills an important emotional need for Matt. We all have emotional needs that need to be met, and a pet might be that for you! What Do You Need to Know There were a couple of articles that Sarah read from the American Kennel Club (the AKC) that were very helpful for Sarah to understand the myths around purebred dogs. (20:35) These articles helped Sarah feel comfortable going in this direction. The information helped her understand what to look for in a rescue organization, as well as what to look for in a breeder. Every other animal Sarah has owned has also been a rescue and this was the first time that she is not. This really was a very carefully thought out decision made with her family with all of their diverse needs in mind. Sarah does not want to make a statement about which way is better. If you are looking for a dog now, it is important to be aware of how inhumane the puppy mill industry is and how problematic it is. It is important to avoid that awful in-between. If you did get a dog from a pet store, don't feel guilty about this - just be aware of the information for next time. There are two very ethical ways to go about this. And it is about finding the right fit for you as an individual. Right now with covid-19 and shutdowns, there are a lot of animals looking for foster homes. So even if you think you can't continue pet ownership once life returns to normal, there are some organizations that are looking for temporary homes for their pets. Here is some great advice on where to start whether you’re choosing a rescue group or looking for a responsible breeder (this article and this one). It is better to give you the knowledge to help you find a local group near you, then it is to start calling out groups all over the country. There are plenty of options when it comes to ethical rescue. Science on Pets What is really interesting about the science on the benefits of pet ownership, is that in many ways it doesn't matter what kind of pet you have. (25:45) What matters is the bond with the animal, not the type of animal it is. The bond in the relationship with the animal is key. There have been a huge amount of studies looking at pet ownership. In the last couple of years, researchers have been teasing out the mechanisms behind what is responsible for these benefits. It seems to be benefiting our health from a number of points. There is the connection point, and we know that owning a companion pet reduces stress and depression. Sarah explained what is happening internally on a hormonal level with these outcomes. A lot of research has been done (on people of all ages) shows that a pet can actually provide connection and reduce the sense of isolation. Feeling isolated is a health risk factor. Companion animals can reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and they have been shown to increase cardiovascular disease outcomes. There is a huge range of different benefits. Digging Deeper Into the Science Understanding the science behind this has been a big focus of research. (30:15) Dog owners are more likely to have healthy habits. This is partially because a dog, in general, need to be walked every day. You can find more information on this research here. If you own a dog you are far more likely to be physically active, and you are far more likely to have a healthy diet. There is a strong interaction between lifestyle and cravings and appetite regulation. A variety of studies have shown that having any kind of companion animal has been shown to reduce depression, anxiety, and reduce feelings of social isolation. We are seeing this mediated through hormones. In particular, this study showed measurably higher oxytocin with lower cortisol and alpha-amylase levels. Stacy and Sarah discussed oxytocin and the many ways it impacts our physical and mental health. The Impact on Stress There have been some really interesting studies looking at the benefits of pet ownership through the lens of the stress response. (35:00) This study that was done in 2002 was one that Sarah particularly enjoyed reading. Being in the presence of a dog causes a more powerful reduction in cardiovascular stress than being in the presence of a friend or spouse. Relative to people without pets, people with pets had significantly lower heart rate and blood pressure levels during a resting baseline, significantly smaller increases (ie, reactivity) from baseline levels during the mental arithmetic and cold pressor, and faster recovery. There have been a bunch of other studies that have looked at this in different ways. One of which looked at dopamine, endorphins, and cortisol in people who spent just thirty-minutes with a dog. Spending 30 minutes interacting with a dog has been shown to boost dopamine and endorphin levels, while also decreasing levels of cortisol. The same found a similar effect in health-care workers after only 5 minutes of petting a dog. Stacy and Sarah discussed how to ease discomfort with dogs if that is a challenge that you run into with members of your family. Another interesting study that Sarah wanted to share is this one. Stacy wanted to share that it is not impossible to overcome. Through bonding, Matt was able to find comfort with being a pet owner and now really loves having a pet in the house. Remember, the mental health benefits are associated with owning any pet, not just dog ownership. The memories that you hold towards certain pet experiences are particular to that individual animal, and do not represent what you can expect from other pets. It's kind of like the phrase - not all humans are good humans. Closing Thoughts Sarah's family knows what they will be naming their new dog. They have been FaceTiming with her and have a good sense of her personality. They will name her Soka after Ahsoka Tano. Matt came on and shared more background on who this is. (49:02) Sarah elaborated on fandom, nerdy shares. When Soka is naughty they will call her snips. Thank you, listeners, for joining in! Stacy is excited for Sarah's family to welcome the newest member of their family. They are in for such a treat! Sarah knows it is going to be a lot of work to have a puppy, but not nearly as much as a baby. There are follow up questions on this topic, which Stacy and Sarah will cover in a future episode. If you have questions about pet ownership, be sure to submit those via the contact forms on Stacy and Sarah's individual sites. And please don't forget, if you enjoyed this show, please leave a review and share with your friends and family. Thanks again for listening! We will be back again next week! (56:02)

为你读英语美文 · 第332期 成长的故事 | 《天堂里的佩妮》主播:娇娇(10岁)坐标:芝加哥夏天,11岁的佩妮像其他女孩一样,期待着游泳、棒球、黄油核桃冰激凌,然而身在一个意大利裔美国家庭,事情却没有这么简单。母亲与奶奶不断发生冲突,心爱的小狗生了病,最喜欢的叔叔要搬出去住,好朋友成了罪犯……更重要的是,没有人告诉她父亲去世的真相。詹妮弗·L.霍尔姆所著的《天堂里的佩妮》讲述了一个小女孩满含感伤与喜悦的成长故事,一场充满秘密的夏日冒险,一个历经伤痛又因为爱而重聚的家庭,一段意大利裔美国人努力克服偏见、赢得尊重的心路历程。注:Penny from Heaven 有译为《天堂里的佩妮》,也有译为《天堂里的便士》。今天,同样来自美国,也和佩妮年纪相仿的娇娇为你讲述这个故事。 -----------------------Penny from Heaven《天堂里的佩妮》作者:詹妮弗·L.霍尔姆;英文整理,翻译:京京Penny from Heaven is the story of an eleven-year-old-girl named Penny. She believes that people call her Penny because her father, Alfred Falucci, loved the Bing Crosby song "Pennies from Heaven." After her father's death, Penny lives with her mother and grandparents, and Penny also loves to spend time with her father's Italian family. Her father was the oldest son of her grandmother, and the only one who was born in Italy. Penny does not know why nobody will tell her her father's real cause of death. 《天堂里的佩妮》是一个名叫佩妮的11岁女孩的故事。她相信人们称她为Penny (便士,硬币的一种),因为她的父亲法鲁其喜欢一首歌曲“天堂的便士”。在她父亲去世后,佩妮和她的母亲以及祖父母生活在一起。佩妮也喜欢与她父亲的意大利家庭共度时光。她的父亲是长子,也是唯一出生在意大利的孩子。佩妮不知道为什么没有人会告诉她,父亲真正的死因。Her favorite uncle is named Dominic. Her uncle and her mom used to be good friends. Penny wants him to marry her mother and become her new father. She is disappointed when she finds out her mother is dating with other man. She decides to break her mother's relationship with that man, and is rude during a dinner party. She asks him uncomfortable questions and compares him to her father. 她最喜欢的叔叔是一个叫多米尼克的人。她的叔叔和她的妈妈曾经是好朋友。佩妮希望多米尼克娶她的母亲,成为她的新父亲。而当她发现母亲正在与另一个人约会时,她很失望,她决定打破他俩的关系,并在晚宴上表现得很粗鲁。她问了那人一些不舒服的问题,并将他与她的父亲比较。One of her uncles tells Penny and Frankie her cousin that their grandfather Falucci hid money in their backyard but died before he could tell anyone his secret. They decide to find the money, and search all over the backyard. After they are unsuccessful, they want to look for the money in the basement. They wait for all the adults to leave and pretend to do laundry. Frankie finds money and is so excited. Penny is distracted and her right arm is pulled through the wringer all the way up to her armpit and is stuck, while the wringer is still going down.她的一个叔叔告诉佩妮和法兰克( 她的表弟)他们的祖父法鲁其在他们的后院藏了钱,但在他告诉任何人他的秘密之前就死了。他们决定找钱,并搜遍了整个后院。在他们没有找到之后,他们想在地下室继续寻找钱。他们假装洗衣服并等待所有成年人离开。Frankie找到了钱,非常兴奋。 Penny因他的兴奋,不小心将右臂卡在了绞拧器里,而绞拧器仍在下降。She wakes up in the hospital, where in a dream she hears her mother accusing her uncle Dominic for her father's death. After several weeks in the hospital, Penny still is not able to move her right arm's fingers. A doctor says that Penny's chances of remaining disabled are high. Penny wakes up at night and heard two nurses talking about her mother. They say her father was an Italian spy and was killed by the American government. 她在医院醒来,佩妮仍然无法移动右臂的手指。医生说佩妮的残疾率很高。佩妮夜间醒来,听到两名护士在谈论她的母亲。他们说她的父亲是意大利间谍,被美国政府杀害。Her aunt decides to tell her the truth. When Penny was a baby, her uncle Dominic bought her father a new radio. He didn't know Italians were not allowed to have this kind of radio. After Pearl Harbor, the country went crazy and all non-citizens were considered spies. Unfortunately, her father was born in Italy and was a not U.S. citizen. He got sick in the jail and died. In the last letter he wrote, " A baby is just like a lost penny, I'll never hold again".她的阿姨决定告诉佩妮真相。当佩妮还是个孩子的时候,她的叔叔多米尼克给她父亲买了一台新收音机。他不知道意大利人不允许有这种收音机。在珍珠港事件之后,这个国家变得很疯狂,所有非公民都被认为是间谍。不幸的是,她的父亲出生在意大利,不是美国公民。他最终在监狱里生病死了。在他的最后一封信中写道,“丢失了我的宝贝,就像丢失了一枚硬币一样,“我永远不能再拥抱她了”。This is the real reason why everyone calls her "Penny". She realizes why her mom said Dominic killed her husband; he had bought the radio. She wants to see him and say that it is not his fault, but he never come back again. All she has left is her lucky bean from him. 这就是为什么每个人都称她为“便士” 硬币的真正原因。她明白为什么她的妈妈说多米尼克杀了她的爸爸; 因为他买了收音机。佩妮想见到多米尼克,并告诉他这不是他的错,但是他再也没来过。他只留给佩妮 一颗幸运豆。The girl who lives with Penny in the same room asks to see her lucky bean. Penny wants to reach it, but the bean slides off the table. She doesn't want to drop it, and catches it with her unmovable fingers. She moves her fingers and believes it was a mystery of her lucky bean.与佩妮住在同一个房间的女孩要看她的幸运豆。 但豆子从桌子上滑了下来。她不想丢失它,竟然移动了不能动的手指, 也许这是那颗幸运豆给她带来的幸运。 "Penny From Heaven" 被好莱坞拍成音乐剧后,其中出现众多经典歌词,我为大家送上其中的一个吧。A Penny from Heaven《天堂里的便士》I found a penny todayJust laying on the ground,But it's not just a pennyThis little coin I've found.Found pennies come from heavenThat's what my Grandpa told me,He said Angels toss them down.今天我在地上捡到一个便士,但我捡到的这枚小小硬币不仅仅是一个便士。爷爷曾对我说那可是来自天堂的便士是天使所赐。Oh,How I loved that story.He said when an Angel misses youThey toss a penny down,Sometimes just to cheer you upTo make a smile out of your frown.So don't pass by that pennyWhen you're feeling blue,It may be a penny from heavenThat an Angel's tossed to you .哦,我可真喜欢这个故事。他说当某个天使想你时就会将一个便士抛下尘世,有时仅仅是想让你打起精神让你愁眉紧锁的脸重绽笑容。所以当你心情沮丧时就不要将那个便士忽视,也许那就是天堂里某个天使抛给你的便士▎主播介绍 Nina Zhan 娇娇 美籍华裔 10岁全国儿童英语挑战赛 代言人爱好花样溜冰,诗歌,音乐,绘画等▎节目首发,背景音乐,图文资料,更多推送敬请关注微信公众号:为你读英语美文,ID:readenglishforyou
In her debut novel, A Prayer for Travelers, Ruchika Tomar melds artful prose with a haunting narrative creating an arresting and electric portrait of the dangers of girlhood in the American desert west and how small towns try–– and often fail–– to protect their own. Already hailed by Lit Hub as “an indelible portrait of love, grief, and trauma” and one of the Most Anticipated Books of 2019, A Prayer for Travelers illuminates the heat and fury of girlhood and one’s own memory. The Nevada landscape––a sun-steamed, desert West that you can practically feel blistering off the page––serves as a harsh yet glittery, gritty yet stunning backdrop for this coming-of-age saga. Cale is our guide: a young bookish loner with a voice as markedly determined as it is vulnerable. Set adrift for the first time in her life, Cale begins waitressing at the local diner, where she reconnects with Penelope Reyes, a charismatic former classmate and all-around hustler. Penny exposes Cale to the reality that exists beyond their small town and the girls become inseparable until one terrifying act of violence shatters their world. When Penny vanishes without a trace, Cale sets off on a dangerous quest across the desert to find her friend. Told in short, deftly interwoven chapters, the novel eases the story into a disorienting, devastating unraveling and seamlessly blends together a portrait of a memory under siege and a girl, unflinchingly, reclaiming herself. On the structure of the novel Tomar says, “I began thinking about the way I or my friends tell stories—elliptically, episodically. When you’re telling a story out loud it’s very hard to remember every detail in order. In particular, if you’ve ever had to tell a story of trauma, or hold one for one of your friends, you know just how ragged and disjointed that experience is. The nature of trauma and grief is fracturing.” Tomar is in conversation with Xuan Juliana Wang, author of the debut short story collection, Home Remedies.
When Penny travels to Neitherland and is unable to find his way back, he "inceptions" Quentin, who enlists Alice's help to show him the way home. Kady and Julia cross paths once again, and this time work together on a time magic project meant to give Richard the opportunity to rewrite part of his tragic history. Episode Grade: Dave A Wayne A-

As promised in the last episode of Tiny Bites, this week’s episode is another listener request. When I put out my call for topics, fellow blogger and friend Penny from She Picks Up Pennies, asked if I would talk about the next steps in the decluttering process, for people who are deep in the middle of it and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel (my words, not Penny’s). When Penny suggested this topic, my wheels immediately started turning because I’ve been out of that place for a couple of years now. So, what do you do when you hit a decluttering roadblock?
