We hear all the time that we should “reinvent” ourselves to stay relevant. Or that we should ignore or dismiss aspects of our careers that no longer seem to “fit” with what we're doing now. I'm not sure we can truly “reinvent” ourselves, nor should we. Instead, we should embrace how we evolve over time - and actually seek out ways to challenge ourselves to evolve! In this episode, Diane Diaz, our lead speaking coach, joins me for a lively and insightful conversation about the difference between reinvention and evolution. We explore why embracing your full self - quirks, career twists, and even those moments that feel “messy” - is essential for authenticity and personal branding. Diane shares how her Ironman journey continues to influence her life, even years later, and I reflect on bringing my tech background into Speaking Your Brand's evolution. You'll learn: Why “reinvention” might not be the right word (and why evolution feels more authentic) The importance of challenging yourself - even when it feels uncomfortable How to embrace all aspects of your past, from childhood passions to career pivots, to shape your personal brand What saying “yes” to unexpected opportunities (hello, comedy sets!) can do for your growth   This episode is full of personal stories and actionable takeaways to help you think about what's next for you. Whether it's launching a podcast, tackling public speaking, delivering a TEDx talk, or simply trying something new, it's never too late to evolve. This episode was filmed in one of the beautiful studios on the campus of Full Sail University, where Diane and I have been teaching business and marketing classes since 2009.

We recently (August 2024) hosted a 90-minute in-person workshop on personal branding for ATHENA NextGen alumni in Orlando, Florida.  It was a lot of fun and the women who attended loved seeing how all their threads connect in their personal brand. We also had them define their brand voice using our Brand Voice Canvas framework and create their personal brand action plan using our Pillars of Your Personal Brand  framework. Along with this workshop we facilitated, we've done 9 client VIP Days (!) in the past month, so things have been a bit busy.   Hence, a “best of” episode for the podcast this week. :-) This episode originally aired on October 2, 2023, and it's as relevant as ever. In the age of more & more content (whether human- or AI-created), your personal brand matters more than ever. Potential clients and event organizers can easily find lots of experts in what you do. What you want them to realize is what sets you apart and why they should pick you. That's where your personal brand and thought leadership come in. I know you want to have a positive impact on the world and you may feel like cultivating a personal brand is unnecessary or self-indulgent or you just don't have time for it. But, here's the thing: you have a personal brand, everyone does. It's how other people would describe you;  not just your qualities like are you smart, kind, professional, but also what matters to you. Do people know what matters to you, the better world you imagine? In this episode, you'll hear: How your business connects to your thought leadership How your personal brand connects to your thought leadership Example from my own personal brand and thought leadership Pushback I got early on when I started my business about a particular aspect of my personal brand Finding the consistency and commonality among all of the threads in your career What humans have over AI when it comes to storytelling This episode originally aired on October 2, 2023.   Links: Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/408/ Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 343: Why YOU are the Messenger for Your Idea and Audience Episode 259: Connecting Your Business and Your Thought Leadership Personal Brand podcast series, episodes 332-335

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Good Girls Get Rich Podcast! I'm Karen Yankovich, your host, and today we're diving into a topic I'm incredibly passionate about: the transformative power of investing in your personal brand, especially in a market that's changing faster than ever. Embracing the Shift in Marketing Trends Let's face it, the marketing world has flipped on its head! What used to work like a charm is now old news. Those low-ticket funnels? They're just not cutting it anymore. But here's the thing: while we may not always know what the market is changing to, there's one thing we can always count on – the value of our personal brand. Your Personal Brand is Your Anchor Amidst all the chaos and uncertainty, your personal brand is your anchor. It's the one constant you can rely on to navigate through these turbulent times. When you invest in your personal brand, you're not just securing your present; you're paving the way for future success, no matter what the market throws your way. Building Credibility Through Your Personal Brand Your personal brand is your most valuable asset. It's not just about what you do, but who you are and what you stand for. By enhancing your LinkedIn profile and showcasing your journey, achievements, and values, you can significantly boost your credibility. This makes you more attractive to potential clients and employers who are looking for authenticity and reliability. Aligning Your Brand with Your Values In today's world, visibility comes with responsibility. It's crucial to align your brand with your core values and be transparent about them. People want to know who they're doing business with, and sharing your values builds trust and deepens your connection with your audience. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Let's talk about imposter syndrome. It's real, and it's something we all face, no matter how successful we are. But here's the deal: recognize it, manage it, and don't let it hold you back. Push through those feelings of doubt and step into your power. Your personal brand will only get stronger as you do. Networking and PR: Elevating Your Personal Brand Networking and public relations are key to elevating your personal brand. Building meaningful connections and leveraging PR opportunities can propel your visibility and credibility to new heights. It's about creating deeper, more personal connections that resonate with your audience. Actionable Steps to Strengthen Your Personal Brand Invest in Your Personal Brand: Start by enhancing your LinkedIn profile to reflect your journey, achievements, and values. Create and Share Content: Regularly share content that showcases your expertise and resonates with your audience. Build Meaningful Connections: Focus on developing deep, authentic relationships rather than just expanding your network. Leverage PR Opportunities: Use media appearances to boost your credibility and increase your visibility. Face and Manage Imposter Syndrome: Acknowledge it but don't let it hold you back.

While a personal brand is … well…personal. It isn't something you should work on defining on your own.But have you ever thought about working with personal brand coach? Do you wonder what it would be like? What would you talk about? What conclusions would you walk away with?This episode is going to be a little bit different. In this episode, I'm going to give you a little taste of what I do with clients in my personal branding work. It's not like a whole session, but my brilliant podcast editor, Sarah Scott of Sarah Scott Studios, has said to me, “I think it might be interesting to see you do your thing on an episode.”And so I've turned that right back around on her and said, “how about I do it with you?”She of course agreed! So I'm very excited for today's conversation with Sarah about her personal brand. This is not nearly as thorough or as specific as I would do with an actual client, but I wanted to give you an episode that hopefully you could take some of this discussion back to yourself and use it to figure out some more of your own personal brand.

It's built to compliment Section 4 "Deliver and Leverage" and Section 3 "Database and Relationship Management". On this MMPT, I'll give you an overview of what we'll be discussing over the coming weeks as we tackle the importance of building a brand and the actions needed to bring new business into your pipeline with a focus on fueling your business for the long haul.

We're kicking off a new series all about personal branding. Do you know you have a personal brand, whether you're aware of it or not? Now more than ever, your personal brand is essential. We're all swimming in a sea of online content, from social media posts to podcasts and videos, and even AI churning out more stuff.  How do you stand out in that crowd? How can you connect with the people you most want to connect with so that they understand who you really are, what matters to you, and then how they align with that? We know it can be confusing about what personal branding actually means.  How slick and buttoned up does your personal brand need to be? Does it feel superficial or like a facade to have a personal brand? How does your personal brand connect with your company brand?  That's why we're doing this series on personal branding. It's a perfect match with thought leadership and public speaking. So, let's navigate this together and help you make your mark in your world. In this episode, Diane Diaz, our lead speaking coach, and I talk about: What a personal brand is What it looks like to define your personal brand Our 3 C's of personal branding How to determine what your personal brand is currently And more!

Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #23.  If I was to ask you to define Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand – how would you respond? If you said your Personal Brand is your reputation – you'd be correct.  Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand is not a fad, it's not a buzz word that some marketers have begun throwing around as the flavour of the day.   In fact, in my former business – a Career Consultancy we were talking about the importance of Personal Branding back in 2000's. So, it's NOT a fad at all!  Your Personal Brand is your reputation. It's what people think about you when your name is mentioned. It's what people say about you when asked to share their experience.   And, while you can't control what people think or say about you, you CAN influence it.  By your actions, your interactions, your conversations, - everything can impact your reputation, your Personal Brand.   Positively. Or negatively.  If you do a Personal Brand audit today – would people think and say the exact things you'd want them to say?   Or are you leaving it to chance.  If you asked 5 people (who knew you well) to describe you in 5 words – would the 5 words they use to describe you be the same?  And, more importantly, are they the 5 words you would want them to use to describe you?  Are you showing up on your podcast expressing your personal brand and are those 5 words coming through in your mannerisms and the unique listener experience you are creating?  It should!  I'll see you in the next tip.   YOUR NEXT STEP:   Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?   Access my free Masterclass, on how to become Distinguishable, Uncopyable and Irresistible to your ideal client – even if you're in a crowded marketplace.  Go to: www.IndustryThoughtleaderAcademy.com/DistinguishableMessage  Post a review and share it!   If you learned something by tuning into this podcast, do not hesitate to write a review and share it with your friends.

Although social media has changed and evolved over the last couple of decades, it's still a valuable place to be –  to learn from, connect with others, establish your credibility, build your personal brand or business brand, and grow your career.  While there are tons of places we can hang out online these days, many of which offer limited value for our work pursuits, there's no doubt that LinkedIn – the “professional” social network that's been around since 2002 – is still a place where you need to be visible online. It is worth the investment of your time, especially if you're looking to grow your career and your business as well as attract opportunities. LinkedIn is pretty straightforward. Simply create a profile, connect with people, post and share your content, etc. However, you may not be getting the most out of it as you would if you were to create an intentional strategy for using LinkedIn.  There are multiple ways that you can optimize your LinkedIn profile to build your personal brand and grow your career. By doing so, you can use LinkedIn to build your credibility as a thought leader and your reputation as a business leader that others want to work with or do business with. Finally, you can readily access a vast network of people and resources that you can utilize (for free) for your personal and professional development. In this episode, I'm going to share some of my favorite tips and strategies for creating a LinkedIn profile that stands out, works for you, and increases your opportunities!

Episode 139- Representation Matters with Kevin Iwamoto Today, we are delighted to speak with another icon in our industry, Kevin Iwamoto!  Kevin has received many awards! He is the Chief Customer Officer of Bizly and is also a speaker, singer, and writer. He joins us today to talk about our industry, changing careers, and racism against Asian people and people from the Pacific Islands. We hope you enjoy listening to today's engaging conversation with Kevin Iwamoto! Bio: Condensed Bio for Kevin Iwamoto, GLP, GTP | Chief Customer Officer | Bizly Inc.:  Kevin Iwamoto is an award-winning speaker, industry influencer, author, educator, and subject-matter expert consultant in business travel, GDPR, SMM, the meetings/events marketplace, and personal branding. His progressive industry expertise is featured regularly in industry trade publications, such as Business Travel News (BTN), Northstar Meetings Group, and MeetingsNet. He was President and CEO of the NBTA (now GBTA) from 2001-2003 during the tumultuous 9/11 aftermath.  Kevin is the recipient of many industry awards and recognition, including the 2015 Travel Weekly Gold Magellan Award for Best Overall Industry Blog, which is now syndicated and featured as Industry Insights via Northstar Meetings Group online. Kevin is also the 2016 MPI RISE Award for meetings industry leaders, and in 2014 he received a rare honor from GBTA with a designation as Industry Icon. Throughout his career, he has also been included in numerous industry Top Most Influential Executive lists.  He has two published books to his credit, Strategic Meetings Management: From Theory to Practice published in April 2011, and, Your Personal Brand, Your Power Tool to Build Career Integrity, published in October 2016. Both are available via Amazon. Before joining Bizly, Kevin was Sr. VP at GoldSpring Consulting and VP of Industry Strategy at Lanyon, Active Network, and StarCite. As a buyer, he was a Sr. Global Category Manager for HP's global travel and meetings team and Sr. Travel Account Manager for Disney Worldwide Services. Kevin's journey Kevin received a scholarship from Hawaiian Airlines to attend the University of Hawaii's Travel Industry Management School and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in business. While at college, he made a living and contributed to his tuition fees by performing in nightclubs and working part-time for Hawaiian Airlines. His business degree helped him focus on the business side of his entertainment career. He did several recordings, collaborated with other local artists in Japan and California, and later created a label of his own. After retiring from live performing, he transitioned to a career in business travel, meetings, and events.  Regaining ownership Kevin recorded three vinyl albums. Many years later, he saw that others had placed his music online without his permission. During the pandemic, he finally had the chance to regain control by successfully monetizing his music after remixing and digitizing it, re-registering and re-copyrighting it, and then making it available on the internet. Racism In the 1980s, after moving to California, a high-profile manager informed Kevin that he would not represent him because there was no market for Asian or Pacific Islander performers. Kevin had grown up in Hawaii, where people were mostly Asian and Pacific Islanders. So that was the first time he ever encountered racism. Even though he chose to overlook that incident, he decided to stop performing, and look for something different.  From business travel to meetings and events Kevin moved into business travel and became a travel manager for various companies, including Walt Disney and Hewlett-Packard, where he successfully managed global travel programs for big corporations.  A corporate standard After that, he transitioned to meetings and events and wrote a book about initiating the Strategic Meetings Movement. He got a lot of recognition for that. Then he helped to institutionalize a corporate standard for how big corporations and enterprises should manage their meetings programs on a global level. After that, he took to the road to evangelize the corporate standard globally and won some awards along the way. The 9/11 President Two months after Kevin got elected as the president of the National Business Travel Association (now the Global Business Travel Association), 9/11 happened. The industry came to a halt, and Kevin and his board of directors managed to get business and leisure travel up and running again. Since then, he has become known as “The 9/11President”. No problem is unsolvable After pulling the travel industry out of the 9/11 global crisis, Kevin realized that no problem is unsolvable. Kevin's role at Bizly  As the Chief Customer Officer Head of Enterprise at Bizly, Kevin leads the customer and enterprise efforts and guides sales and customer success teams. Focusing on others Kevin has always focused on what is good for everyone else rather than what is good for him. Diversity equity and inclusion Kevin believes that DEI awareness occurs in people at different points in their careers. Some people get it when they experience racism directed toward them. Others get it after hitting a glass ceiling when trying to advance their careers and attributing it to racism. Overcoming scapegoating and racism Kevin points out that scapegoating is easy when people look different from you. People need to realize that second or third-generation Asian Americans are American on the inside.  Educating people about racism Kevin has realized that it is up to him to overcome his cultural programming, speak up, correct people, and take the time to educate racist individuals on why racism is not okay.  Representation Kevin feels that representation is essential for Asian American and Pacific Islander actors because, without it, most Asian American and Pacific Islander actors will never believe they can become lead actors. Fighting racism in the industry Representation starts with a voice. For Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to have a voice within the industry, associations, or corporations, there should be a sub or separate group that accepts responsibility for education and awareness.  Mentorship Mentorship programs are vital for creating easier paths to the top for underrepresented individuals.   Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website   Connect with Kevin Iwamoto On LinkedIn Bizly

Learn how to bring your brilliance to life through your branding: Philpallen.co/freebies Summary Have you been struggling with finding your own unique personal branding that seems like every branding is already taken? And if ever you do have a brand, are you having a hard time positioning your brand and marketing it in a way that looks good for you and your business? Do you want to know how you can spice up your branding and make it your very own secret weapon? Phil Pallen is a personal branding expert and keynote speaker. His non-conventional approach to digital marketing and talent for social media has built him a global audience. In this episode, Phil talks about how to find your very own personal branding through your uniqueness and professionalism. He also shares some helpful and promising tips to make sure that your awesome brand is consistent both offline and online. Check out these episode highlights: 01:31 – Phil's ideal client: “My ideal client is a busy working professional. I'd say usually women, probably three women to one man, but my site gives a good kind of window into that. They're busy working professionals that have achieved the majority of their success on their own.” 02:05 – Problem Phil helps solve: “So the problem is, I'd say uncertainty on what to do next. Because my client's very unique personal branding means that they are the brand. They are the product. Because it's them, they're too close to it.” 03:40 – Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Phil: “I'm gonna piggyback off of what you just said. And I think the symptom, the most typical symptom is unawareness that they've evolved as a business owner, as a professional in real life. But that evolution has not happened online.” 05:37 – Common mistakes that people make before they find Phil's solution: “When I approach this process, position your brand, build something to show for it, and then stick the “for sale” sign up in front of the house and promote it, the mistake that people make is they jump too quickly to that final stage.” 06:50 – Phil's Valuable Free Action (VFA): “I'm going to reiterate the process that people should follow regardless of industry. Position your brand. So that's a combination of what is something you love paired with something others need.” 07:16 – Phil's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Phil's Website: Philpallen.co/freebies Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Personal branding really is the art of achieving consistency between who you are and how you show up online, or in-person, and making sure that evolution happens online.” -Phil PallenClick To TweetTranscript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland 00:10 Greetings, everyone, and a very warm welcome to another edition of Marketing the Invisible. I think you're in for a treat today! I've got Phil Pallen and Phil is- well, first of all, good day, Phil. Welcome! Good day from down under. Whereabouts are you hanging out because I believe you are a man of many cities? Phil Pallen 00:27 That is always a question. No one asked me how I am and asked where I am! Today I'm going to Lisbon, Portugal. Tom Poland 00:33 And where else do you inhabit? Florida somewhere? Phil Pallen 00:38 Yeah, I'm Canadian but based in the US, but I've been digitally nomading for over five years well before the pandemic, so this is what I'm used to. Tom Poland 00:48 Oh, that sounds like fun! Pandemic aside. For those of you who don't know Phil, his stuff is frickin awesome! I had a look at his website. I was blown away! He's a personal branding expert. He's a keynote speaker. His non-conventional approach and- you just got to go to his website, folks, and have a look at it. We'll give the URL in a moment. His non-conventional approach to digital marketing and talent for social media just sets him apart! He's built a global audience. We're fortunate to have him on the show. Phil, thank you again for being here. The title is, “How Branding Can Be Your Secret Weapon”. Phil's going to show us how that can become a reality in your business in less than seven minutes. Phil, our time starts now. Sir, question number one, who is your ideal client? Phil Pallen 01:31 Sure. I appreciate that amazing intro! My ideal client is a busy working professional. I'd say usually women, probably three women to one man, but my site gives a good kind of window into that. They're busy working professionals that have achieved the majority of their success on their own. They've reached a point where it's really helpful to have some outside input to navigate that next step. Tom Poland 01:58 How would you- question two, six and a half minutes left. How would you define the problem that you solve for these professionals? Phil Pallen 02:05 Yeah, so the problem is, I'd say, uncertainty on what to do next. Because my client's very unique personal branding means that they are the brand. They are the product. Because it's them, they're too close to it. The purpose that I serve is I hold a mirror in front of them, and I say, “Look, this is who you are. This is how it looks. Here's what I'm seeing. And also, what I've learned from helping over 300 people like you. Here's what I think we need to do to get to the next step. And here's-“. You know, it's a collaboration. It's not just me telling them what to do. But I really hold that mirror for them. That's how I solve the problem. Tom Poland 02:45 And there are a few things. I mean, I guess, collaboration, kind of like a dance. You're both bringing something to the party, so to speak. But they're working with your experience, but with their personality, with their vision, with their ethics, with their values. But as a recipe, mixing your experience with theirs together– some of the stuff is just magical. And you're really- Phil Pallen 03:04 Thank you! Tom Poland 03:04 Taking their uniqueness- this is what I noticed from your website, their uniqueness, and their professionalism, and making the book cover, so to speak, look as good as what's actually in the book. That's my take on it, you know. So, they've probably had- Phil Pallen 03:19 Yes! I love how you described that. Tom Poland 03:20 Brilliant with what they do, but haven't always had the book cover to match it. And how do we judge a book? By its cover, right? Should we? Probably not, but we do! And you solve that problem. So, let's have a look at question number three, five minutes left. What are some of the typical symptoms of this problem? How does someone know they need more of what you've got? Phil Pallen 03:40 Oh, sure. I'm going to piggyback off of what you just said. And I think the symptom, the most typical symptom is unawareness that they've evolved as a business owner, as a professional in real life. But that evolution has not happened online. Someone will go to their website, and it doesn't quite communicate all of the exciting things that are happening now. I'm a big believer that personal branding really is the art of achieving consistency between who you are and how you show up online or, you know, in person and making sure that evolution happens online. Absolutely! That's a symptom. Tom Poland 04:20 Are you quite fussy about who you take on as a client? Phil Pallen 04:23 Yes. I am definitely fussy. Tom Poland 04:23 I know that's not on the list of questions I gave you, but I just imagined, just looking at your work, it looks to me like you're taking on people that you feel are genuinely going to be a fit. Phil Pallen 04:32 Yeah, I really need people to let me do my job. So, I don't take on a client that's going to just start to bark orders. They're better to work with a graphic designer. That's a lot less expensive. My best work, the ones that end up, Tom, on my website are people that trust me from the beginning. They're people that I'm so aware of and trusting that they're going to let me do my job. Tom Poland 04:56 Right. And on the other hand, they're not so passive that you don't get anything from them. As you said before, it's like you're bringing something to the party. Nice! Phil Pallen 05:03 Yeah, they have to care! Tom Poland 05:04 Yeah, care and contribute, and so on. But okay, cool. So that explains why there's such consistent, and I don't want to, you know, over-stroke your ego, if that's possible. But that looks like it's such a consistent theme of brilliance coming through in- Phil Pallen 05:20 Thanks. Tom Poland 05:21 In the profiles of the individuals on your website. We will get to the URL in a moment, folks. I know you're keen to get there. What would you say- Phil, question number four, and we've got three minutes left. What would you say is one or two of the common mistakes that people make when they're wanting to solve the personal branding challenge? Phil Pallen 05:37 Yes, very simple. When I approach this process, position your brand, build something to show for it, and then stick the “for sale” sign up in front of the house and promote it, the mistake that people make is they jump too quickly to that final stage. They try and stick a “for sale” sign up in front of a house that doesn't have a roof, which means they're only going to get a fraction of the value that they deserve. Tom Poland 06:01 So, what does it look like in commercial terms in their business? Like a new website without doing the branding first? Is that the sort of thing you're in? Phil Pallen 06:09 Absolutely! Yeah, it could be not really going through the thorough process of positioning their brand, really being aware of what is something I love to do, and how my positioning appeals to what people need. I throw all the visual components photography, color, typography, all of that! You know, stick old photos. It's like putting old wrapping paper on a new gift. So really my process is very thorough and set so that we get that end product. Tom Poland 06:39 Streamlined. Thank you for that! Question five, 90 seconds left, so I better shut up. One valuable free tip. A top tip someone could take, not going to solve the problem, but it might start them in the right direction. Phil Pallen 06:50 Sure! I'm going to reiterate the process that people should follow regardless of industry. Position your brand. So that's a combination of what is something you love paired with something others need. Build something to show for it. Step two, photography, brand identity, website. Finally, promote! Stick a “for sale” sign up for that house, that social media content strategy. SEO, anything you do to get in front of the right people! Tom Poland 07:16 Excellent outline! Thank you. So, let's help folks with this. I'm going to answer question number six for the sake of time. A valuable free resource to folks to help you with all of that. Go to Philpallen, P-A, double L, E-N, .co/freebies. There are pages of amazing stuff to help you on your way there! Phil, last question, sir. 34 seconds left. What's the one question I should have asked you but didn't? Phil Pallen 07:41 Oh gosh, I actually did not prepare for this one. The one question you should have asked me? I don't know, Tom. You've done a really good job of asking questions. The one thing you haven't done is a good job of not talking a lot. You keep asking more questions that are not on the list. I'm trying to give you short answers, Tom! And then you're like, “But what about this?” Tom Poland 08:00 Guilty as charged! Phil Pallen, thank you so much for your inspiration and your insights. Cheers, everyone! Phil Pallen 08:05 Thank you. I really enjoyed this! Tom Poland 08:07 Thank you. Bye.

On today's daily encouragement episode Kristin talks about how important it is to Keep going and not give up on your idea, your business, or your dream.  She shares her past struggle with stepping away from a business because she allowed her frustration and desire to keep her struggles quiet win out instead of sharing and possibly finding people to help grow the business.  She shares how tracking small wins and zooming out a bit can show up the actual growth, progress and momentum we are creating that is sometimes hard to see when we look at a snapshot.  And she shares how we need to make a commitment to ourselves and our business or idea to stay the course for enough time to allow for growth and the importance of coming together with other people to build our ideas and businesses. What is holding you back from going after your dreams, defining life on your terms and from finding meaningful work you love? What is holding you back from going after your dreams to start your business or to write a book or launch a podcast, to sell your art or clothing, or to start an online business?   What is holding you back from finding real joy and meaning in your life? Each week on the show we are going to help you figure out how to go after your dreams and find work you love.  And how to find a healthy work-life balance and how do you fit in the things that are meaningful to you and have flexibility of time and income.  We will also talk about mindset and self-development to be your best possible self in your work life and personal life.  We will take the idea of meaningful work you want to do and how you create and start a business and monetize it.  Let's be happier, healthier and find ways to create meaningful lives that bring us more joy and connection to our every day. Let's start taking action to create and monetize our creative ideas and passions and turn them into thriving businesses- let's go after our dream work, make more money and spend more time with people we love living our best lives.  And learn how Curiosity, Creativity, Mindset, Communication, Play, and Faith play a role in improving our lives.

On today's daily encouragement episode Kristin talks about why we need to stop waiting to be chosen, selected, noticed, acknowledged or seen by someone before we decide to be bold and take action to go after our idea, our dream, start the business or make our own dang show, podcast or production- the time is now and the only thing holding you back is yourself.  Kristin shares the focus blog post and event Seth Godin shared years ago around this topic of Picking Yourself and Emily P. Freeman in her book, A Million Little Ways talks about why we can't wait and realizing you have everything you need including connection with God to go and make your art in whatever capacity that means to you- let's give ourselves permission and realize the only way forward is by stepping out of line and into the future waiting for us to show up and help the people waiting for our message, our work, or solution or encouragement- the time is now and you need to stand up and choose yourself.
