Instagram post 2165725142218750574_4136743154 Have you started thinking about your business goals for 2020?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✏️✏️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I like to start planning the new year in November. I know some people don't want to rush the year and start their planning process so early, but as the holiday season ramps up it gets harder to make time for it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✏️✏️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have found in previous years that by the time January rolls around if I don't have a plan in place, it takes me weeks to get on track. The post-holiday slump is real. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✏️✏️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this episode of #pimpyourbrilliance, I'm sharing 4 areas to think about when you're preparing for the next year in your creative business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✏️✏️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in my bio (PimpYourBrilliance.com/75) or listen on your favorite streaming app by searching for Pimp Your Brilliance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✏️✏️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newpodcast #womenwhopodcast #blackpodcasters #podsincolor #podin #femalepodcaster #ladypodsquad
Instagram post 2151765802177962153_4136743154 What if I told you that you can still accomplish your goals even if your plan wasn't perfectly executed? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Too often we get caught in perfection spirals refusing to move unless everything is going according to plan. But what is a plan without execution? 🙃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ummm... just a list full of hopes and dreams. 🙈🙊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your plan is a guideline. The power isn't in the plan. It is in the action you take. 💫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So remember to execute like your dreams depend on it (because they do)! 🌟

Instagram post 2141652402663906406_4136743154 "My biggest lesson would be to believe in myself. And I know that sounds super basic, but to believe in the skills I was provided as a human being." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love that Bryanda brought this up. Too often we second guess our gifts and natural talents, wishing that they were different. What if we just believed the gifts we already possess are enough? Can you imagine how much more confident you'd feel operating in your zone of genius?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S.

Instagram post 2127063072890760738_4136743154 If I could only give you one tip for how to be a good podcast guest it would be this...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Know how to deliver your origin story concisely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is super duper clutch. Almost every show host is going to ask you, “How did you get started”? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be ready to share what makes your origin story interesting and then tell it as briefly as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Trust me. This is where so many interviews go off the rails. The host asks the question and then the guest spends the next 10 minutes rambling on and on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's what I suggest instead:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1) Think about the high points of your origin story. What are the most important parts? What's going to draw the listeners in and make them more excited to hear the rest of what you have to say? That's what you share!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2) Start practicing before you even need to tell it. List out the important points of your story into bullet points. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3) Practice, practice, practice!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It really is as simple as that. But a little preparation will help you nail your next podcast interview.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell, what's your origin story? Share it with me in the comments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S.
