In this week's episode:

• I don't think you can have success without pain.
• Personal growth must happen before business growth.
• You can't really separate "personal" from "business."
• Going through the pain solidifies the strength you have on the other side.

It can be difficult for entrepreneurs to muster on during difficult times, especially with feelings of doubt, uncertainty, isolation, and depression.

In this week's episode:

• This episode was taken from a "Reflections from the egg chair" Facebook live broadcast.
• I used a dual caster mount to broadcast on two different devices (my iPhone and iPad) and two different places (my Facebook profile and Facebook business page) simultaneously.
• The more people who take some action (like, love, comment, share, save, archive) on your social media posts, the more of your content those people will see.
• YOU are responsible for what appears in your social media feeds.
• You need to share content that is share-worthy on social media.
• There are so many things happening to entrepreneurs all over the world right now, including isolation, and depression.
• Because you follow me, you are very likely: kind, passionate, nice, likes to help others, and wants to make a difference.
• People who are negative,...

My life had a lot more anxiety, sleepless nights, and poor health before I started practicing self care. Here are 13 additional self care strategies I use at least once a month.

• I've learned the importance of using a primer when you're on camera!
• Taking one CBD gummie when I have trouble sleeping has really helped.
• Binging on Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. is definitely self care for me.
• Frothing my coffee is a treat for me.
• My Instastories and Facebook stories are self care, too--because I love them and they're a creative outlet for me.
• Check out my Sanity Saving Activities here: bit.ly/helpomg

You should never accept the word NO or "that's impossible" for an answer in your life or your business.

 In this week's episode:

• I do not want you to ever take the word "no" or the phrase, "It's not possible" as possible answers in your life or your business.
• Those are not possibilities in my life. (I give detailed examples in the episode)
• When someone tells you "It's impossible" it only means that it's impossible for the person talking...it has nothing to do with YOU, your life, or your business success.
• Everyone I knew said I would fail as a business coach.
• I started (and succeeded) anyway.
• Failure is part of success.
• If you truly want to succeed, you CANNOT accept "No" or "impossible."
• Success (an manifesting) requires making a decision plus action.

You don't need to go to major conferences to be visible online and grow your brand! Here are four simple and proven ways to do it, free, without leaving home.

In this week's episode:

• The number one rule to gaining online visibility is to be where your audience is online. If you're unsure, google "social media demographics" and look at the data for the platforms you enjoy using most. 
• Facebook has approximately 2.8 billion people, so your audience is likely on there.
• LinkedIn is all business all the time, so if you have a business you should have a daily presence there. 
• Use one or two hashtags for each social media post (up to 30 for Instagram), including a branded hashtag and one topical one.
• You cannot own a hashtag, but you can dominate it.
• The easiest and fastest way to get noticed by experts or others in your industry is to be a helpful audience member in the chat of livestream broadcasts. I detail many ways to do this in the episode including greeting the host(s),...

In this week's episode:

• Following people online and actually "studying them" are two very different things and one of these will really help your business grow.
• Social media copy, image, gifs, wardrobe, how a shot is set up, etc. are some of the things I study on a daily basis.
• Business lessons and life lessons are all around us all the time. Be open to them!
• Athletes, business people, children, and artists are some of the people I study online as well as their branding.
• Athletes are great people for entrepreneurs to study because of their incredible work ethic, their mindset and their success and failure journeys.
• I detail how Gary Vee's branding is always on point and provide examples.
• Successful entrepreneurs "sell without selling" by letting their audience in on their life and by being themselves.
• People buy from you because OF you.
• The more you are...

• Remember to go back and re-read your brand story first! Look for keywords in it---you can use these later in your social media post and sales page copy! If you don't see keywords in your brand story, edit it a bit using keywords.
• Your brand story will be repeated, in some way, again and again for the life of your business.
• It needs to appear on your homepage, all sales pages, checkout pages, on your courses, and all products, programs, and services you offer
• When folks come to your website, meet you or see your social media posts, they should easily be able to determine: Who you are, What...
