199.Ever Wonder What to Write? The Writing Process

Power of After Show ·

2023/01/31

If you ever question yourself in what to write, I suggest you start journaling. Before you tune this message completely out, words and musings don’t need to be elaborate or even eloquent. Just putting thoughts and feelings on a page starts the writing process. I have been encouraged to write my thoughts down through the years ever since high school and uncovering some of my writings is revealing in many ways. At this point, I am wondering if our kids will ever take the time to read some of my

2023/01/24

Most people don’t pursue the topic of how to be sick. But when you are first diagnosed with an illness, it can be scary and confusing with so many unknowns. What do you believe and how do you respond? Jen Singer, who has survived cancer, COVID-19 and heart failure drew upon her experience as a medical writer for one of New York City’s most prestigious hospitals to help others respond to an unexpected diagnosis. Jen already knew how to decipher survival statistics, medical research papers and how to

2023/01/17

My father, along with a few partners, started a cement hand tool company called D&G Manufacturing with their designs of original work for their tools. What I remember most was going to the large warehouse and stacking up the small scraps wooden blocks discarded from the handles, building my own imaginative creations on the cement floor. What I didn’t know at the time was that D&G had become the top manufacturer of cement tools in the United States. That is, until their designs of their original work

2023/01/13

As a professional athlete, just turning 30, Taylor Johnson had to face facts on when to know it’s over. There is an emotional and mental decision that one confronts, especially when you feel you could be in your prime as an athlete, but then realize it’s really over for good. It’s not an easy transition and adjustment to life after professional athletics, especially when fairly young, is a road many don’t anticipate or look forward to facing. But when knees totally go out, that physical decision is

Power of After Show ·

2023/01/10

Something I didn’t understand for some time was that marketing strategies work hand in hand with sales. Unfortunately, for many companies and organizations, the sales and marketing departments don’t communicate with each other. This creates tension, unrealistic expectations and missed opportunities. Many creative artists, like myself, have stepped away from selling because we don’t feel successful at sales and don’t want to approach anything that looks like a hard-sell. For innovators, marketing

194.Facing Burnout? Habits that will Stick

2023/01/03

How do you know you’re facing burnout? You may face some or even all of the following: You’re having a harder time than normal getting up in the morning, especially waking up in the middle of the night for at least a couple hours. You push your dog away, almost kicking him across the room when he starts giving you attention. A number of snarky remarks pop in your head as you see your neighbor wave at you cheerily, watching you back your car out of your drive. Your gardener’s blower seems extra-loud

You don’t need a psychology degree to unlock a healthy mindset, though this type of higher degree provides tools to make it easier to do research. Ana Melikian, PhD, was born in Portugal and achieved her psychology degree abroad but transformed herself into a life and business coach here in the states. She loves tapping into the human potential and much of what she does dives into neuroscience and cognitive research. According to Georgetown University, neuroscience focuses on the brain and its

2022/12/23

This is a story about a twelve year old boy named Michael, who was the Innkeeper’s son. He lived in a small town which only had two inns, which kept his father busy trying to get as many customers as he could. Life was always busy, and Michael often wondered if his father really had time for him. His best companion was the family’s mule, Samuel, who couldn’t really talk, but communicated in so many other ways. One night, Mike and Samuel were talking, out under the stars, when Mike asked Samuel, “Do

2022/12/16

This is a bonus episode including three stories appropriate for the Christmas Season. The Imperfect Tree. Remember the Charlie Brown trees? The stick in the ground that served as a trunk with a few imperfect branches with scattered ornaments. I think the imperfectness of the tree spoke to the fun of the cartoon and the Charlie Brown character. It’s a good illustration on how imperfect life is. Lives aren’t perfect, relationships aren’t perfect, kids aren’t perfect. But imperfect works. It’s why we

189.Our Goals for the New Year

2022/12/13

Most years, my husband Greg and I talk through our goals for the new year. These have included larger dreams with longer timelines as well as short-term practical applications, especially during the years we were raising our sons. I don’t define goals as resolutions. A resolution, or a firm decision to change, tends to be broken more often than not. Inc. Magazine reports that 91% of us won’t achieve our New Year’s resolutions. But a good goal is measurable and achievable with the identification of

When we think globally, it’s helpful to study global trends. According to PMI, (Project Management Institute) these are the top global megatrends of 2022: digital disruption, climate crisis, demographic and economic shifts, labor shortages and civil, civic and equality movements. Forbes five biggest trends for 2023 includes most of the same megatrends: digital transformation, inflation and supply chain security, sustainability, immersive customer experience and the talent challenge.

2022/11/29

It would be nice to have a crystal ball to predict what would be proved wrong each year. In the same way, most would love to be able to see what proved right ahead of time. It would take away much of the stress of evaluating market trends, what would go on with the housing market and even how to market products. But according to my latest evaluation of crystal balls, they are not usually all that reliable. But there are trends we can follow and good guesses we can all make based on past experiences

Power of After Show ·

2022/11/29

You may wonder as I did, “What is peripheral thinking?” Paul Daniels has trademarked a system for peripheral thinking™ so I felt it was a good idea to hear directly from him. A standard definition of peripheral thinking is to not think too hard to come up with solutions and ideas. Instead, try to incorporate solutions from different perspectives drawn from past and present experiences. Paul used the word neurodiversity, which was coined in the late 1900’s by Judy Singer, a sociologist who has autism

Power of After Show ·

2022/11/22

The phrase Just Do It is associated with the sport brand Nike and was coined in 1988 at an advertising agency meeting. One of the founders, Dan Weiden, credits the slogan to Gary Gilmore’s last words, Let’s do it. Those words weren’t associated with inspiration or athletics. They were Gary’s last words before being executed for murder in 1977. But as people often forget details, the words were revived in a totally different way that was a brilliant marketing move. The popularity of the phrase along

2022/11/15

It’s the end of another year with the holidays upon us. Prices are going up faster than Superman can leap off a tall building and that makes the topic of how to survive inflationary times especially relevant. Over the last twelve months, all items in the consumer price index (CPI) increased 8.2 percent. This number is an average, with some items doubling or even tripling in cost. Increases in food, medical care and shelter costs were the largest increases in the CPI. These are basic items of expense

2022/11/08

As I write this, we are in the middle of the first round of Grammy Award® voting and the amount of current work artists put out is truly admirable. These are a group of independents and creatives that just can’t help but create additional innovative product. However, I don’t always see that type of new work from people in other fields. I see post after post about past accomplishments, degrees and accolades. To be fair, some musicians also depend on their past work. I call them has-beens. Sure, I’ve

Since I’ve self-published five books at the time of this writing, I was interested in the large sign I saw for BookBaby. I was in Nashville, TN at our NSA (National Speaker’s) Conference and asked if BookBaby was somehow related to CDBaby, which has been one of the top sites for independent artists to release albums. I’ve released a number of them through that organization. Sure enough, CDBaby was related to BookBaby as well as a company called DiscMakers, all a part of the DIY Media group. To make

2022/10/11

When we were young, we were asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” We received messages, explicit or implied, from others about what we should (or shouldn’t) become, what others wanted (or expected) from us, and what the “normal” or the “right” path entails. Then we started on our path. We applied for additional training and schooling, followed a talent in sports or arts, pursued an interest in business or science, joined the military, the Peace Corps, or a mission. We chose a location to
