My parents and my 2 sisters and their families will be there so 2 little nieces and 1 nephew running around (and one yet to be determined in my youngest sister’s belly).   Mark, the kids and I should get 5-6 good ski days on the mountain.   Skiing is something that we really enjoy as a family.

I am looking forward to getting a chance to unwind, relax and reflect on what a wonderful year it has been.  I hope you will make the time to do the same.

I wish you all the best this holiday and into the new year!

For solo entrepreneurs in particular, you are often your brand and that brand needs to have a face.  People make a connection when they see who they are working with.  Your face should be prominent on your website, on your business cards, blogs, and anytime you are reaching out to a new audience.

And not just your face- your voice too.  Videos are a powerful way to have people really see you in action.  Get a video up on your website or get your own YouTube site and record a video on something that you are promoting, launching or on a important topic that you want to discuss.  Not only do people enjoying watching what you have to say, but search engines love video material, so it is great for organic ranking.   Don’t obsess over the quality of the footage and the subtlety of the lighting.  Get the video shot, post it on your site and get it done.  Progress…not Perfection.

If you are not comfortable promoting yourself, than who will?  Tell people what you do, get your face associated with your business and unleash your inner superstar.

If you are feeling stuck, odds are your self-care is low.  Take a break.  Focus on self-care until your energy is back and then dive in again- you’ll have a new perspective that will serve you well.

Blessings!

The fun part for Mark and I was dressing up as our good friends and showing up at their party as… them!  Mark grew 6 inches thanks to his platform shoe invention.  And, in addition to my blond transformation, I created revolutionary breast implants- socks! (I’m pretty sure that is what was used in the olden days).

We all had such a fun weekend and yet, we almost didn’t go.  Why?  The same reason we all use to avoid having fun- we were “too busy”, it was “too expensive”, it was “too much to plan”.  Well, guess what?

We have to keep fun in our lives and spend time with people we love – to enjoy living!  Life is just too short not to have fun with people you care about.

That’s the bottom line.

So, let’s all agree to keep having fun as we grow our businesses, shall we?

A quick tip- you need at least three weeks to market a free preview teleseminar (much longer for big events). Plan out 6-8 autoresponders to your list, including some videos that you post on your blog and on youtube. Be sure to have a keyword-rich text around your video. If you can find some affiliates, who will send emails to their list and receive a percentage of income from the offer you present on your teleseminar- even better!

These are just quick tips- but I hope they help!
