• Revised 01 (parts in Square Brackets [] are for the video & won’t be in the text version) Stop “Shoulding” on Yourself

    Do you have a bunch of shoulds or shouldn’ts you keep telling yourself? Something you want to do differently, but haven’t managed to change so far.
    – I should exercise, I should lose weight, I should stop smoking, I should…Read More

  • Here’s the Mr. Twinkletoes episode of my podcast, which I mentioned on the call this past week: https://kite.link/CPT65

    It’s one of my Creative Pep Talks, which I put out every other week on the podcast. They’re short, off-the-cuff, unedited episodes about a single creative tool or tip. I’ve been doing them for about two and a half years now.

      • Amy worked on this quite a bit with me yesterday. Looking forward to finishing the edits and maybe making it into 2 or 3 posts. Thank you!

  • Hey everyone! I took a stab at writing an email with the behind the scenes content and I’d love some feedback. I am not sure exactly how to tie in the CTA. I feel like it kind of sneaks up on you and needs a better transition. The topic is Travel and the hook is a question. Thanks!

    Here is the email:

    • Well done! Neither of your CTAs bothered me. I would have preferred the first one (Want to hear more about that?…) in parentheses, but it works as is. I bet others will have tips about how to smooth those transitions, but to me they worked well.

    • Thanks for sharing your love of travel, Sara. I love to travel too! May I make two suggestions?
      Get specific and sensory. It’s the little details that spark engagement and presence you. Today I’m thinking back to a trip to Venice we made on our honeymoon. I remember the heat and the orange glow of the molten glass in the glass-blowing workshop on…Read More

    • I see how you feel you have dumped all the engagement at the end. What if you sprinkle it throughout and bold it so people see it.
      Title: How can getting your finances organized free you from FOMO?

      I’m not sure if you know this about me, but I love to travel. I do it any chance that I get. From a weekend spa getaway to a trip to a new city – I’m…Read More
