The last two days have been amazing. I was flown out to DC to speak at the #copyproof workshop and help our truly inspiring workshop guests with personal branding and social media.
.
More thoughts on this later but for now take a look at all the action our guests took on Instagram (in my story).
.
I love making social marketing scaries go away. ♥️♥️♥️
.
HUGE thank you to Mike Kim for asking me to come out and speak to this highly intelligent and inspiring group of entrepreneurs!

“No really!! Go into the bathroom!!!” @carriegottschalk says! “You can pee in an egg!” 🤫
.
I proceed to go to the bathroom and unapologetically spend 15 min waiting for people to go away so I can take pics after I indeed peed in this egg pod behind me.
.
The last two years I’ve gotten to travel around a lot... always for biz, sometimes to teach, sometimes to work, sometimes to learn.
.
There are these little fun moments I get to experience because I’ve been able to travel and I wouldn’t take back the giggles and the mirror selfies in between the learning moments for anything.
.
Thanks for taking me here Carrie! ♥️ .

Did you post a 10 years earlier/later pic? .
Pondering some emo stuff regarding this 10 year challenge. And of course memories make me think of one of my favorite messed up movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

My ponderings are in my story right now if you want to check it out.

5 things to think about when planning a commercial shoot for your small retail business.
__________________________________
🔸 It’s super easy to assume the audience already knows who you are but that’s not usually the case. Make sure your script takes that into consideration. Pretend a close friend just introduced you to someone at a party and that person asks you to elaborate on what you do. Talk to your audience like a friend of a friend.
__________________________________
🔸 Write a script, and brainstorm a visual representation for each line or two in the script. Don’t leave it up to the video editor to guess what you want if you want it a certain way. They make magic in editing but they are not mind readers.
→ For instance, “At @cultureshock_ we LOVE carrying local products or gifts with a purpose or story) → (Pan of local merchandise/local coffee/local T-shirts)
__________________________________
🔶 Include your address at the bottom of the screen the entire time in writing so as potential guests are watching the commercial they are also able to recall where you are located. For instance:
→ Culture Shock - located at 2239 Charles Street, (2 blocks west of Stockholm Inn Pancake House)
__________________________________
🔶 KISS - Keep It Stupid Simple.
(borrowed this acronym from @isocialfanz) Don’t overwhelm your commercial with detail. When planning it, think about what sets you apart from other businesses like yours to make it simple for people to remember you.
__________________________________
🔶 Lastly, get the MP4 file (video file) for your commercial and upload it to Facebook, put a little money behind it and target your audience. Use the combination of your potential guests seeing it on tv and online to maximize your impact.
__________________________________
At Culture Shock (where this commercial was shot) we care deeply for our customers and always want to reach new people and make a greater impact with the purposeful products we carry.

I’ll tell you a big secret fear of mine: I fear if I get to the bottom of my to-do list, that means it’s game-over for my biz.
.
So when I’m living in fear of that, I pack my schedule and overwork myself to make sure it doesn’t happen.
.
I don’t make time for myself or for others the way I want to because I worry I won’t be able to pick up where I left off. That’s a true fear of mine and something I’m working on.
.
As it gets closer to the end of the year and I’m thinking about my goals for 2020, I’m trying to put this into perspective.
.
Goals include me spending more time coaching people in digital marketing, less time sitting at my desk, more time with family and friends.
.
What do you fear? Nothing is unreasonable. Let me know. It makes everyone feel more human.

Do you ever do this?! I was at this amazing digital marketing / personal branding conference in London UK last week, and while I was there, I kept daydreaming about what it takes to put that conference together.
.
Just me?! 😂
.
Okay I know it wasn’t the intentional content I was meant to consume, but I put together some thoughts and my assessment of all of the interesting things that made #YoupreneurSummit exceptional, from a conference organizers point of view. (Link in bio)
.
Plus takeaways from @natalienorton, @bobgentle, @jeffgoins, @inst.acurtis, @andy_storch and plenty of features from others! ❤️
.
I can’t wait to go back next year. 🇬🇧

I got about 1000 takeaways from last week at the digital marketing conference I attended but one of the biggest was not from the stage, it was from a friend during a conversation at the conference.
.
So much so, that I asked him to ”hold please” so I could write it into my notes on my phone.
.
This could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people depending on the context. It means something different to me every time I read it.
.
What I took from this?
.
There are a lot of people you wish could see things your way. A lot of opinions that potentially could weigh you down. (Or build you up! ♥️)
.
People won’t always see things your way. They may never change their opinion or their ideas about how things should work in life or business.
.
✨The only thing you can really count on is improving yourself and working on you. Things can only change for you if you work on changing you.✨
.
Can you relate? What does this mean to you?
.
P.s. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a conversation with @bobgentle.

@chrisducker and his team know how to put on a conference. Every attendee was full of life. Every speaker was honest, helpful, and attentive.
.
In this entrepreneurial digital marketing world that I have the privilege of taking part in—#YoupreneurSummit would be in my top 3 conferences that I’d recommend simply because of the intentionality of how the conference operates.
.
Spending my last full day in London writing a blog post about it. What are you interested in knowing about this conference? I’ll make sure to include it.

Happy Birthday to the most meaningful person in my life. ♥️♥️♥️
.
We have been a team since the day you were born.
.
When we were little, sleep the night before your bday didn’t exist because I couldn’t wait to surprise you with a gift in your room in the morning. I would sneak in and leave it for you when you fell asleep or try to get mom to let me decorate the house the way the “leprechauns” or Easter Bunny did.
.
You have always been a person worth celebrating to the max capacity! This morning when I woke up and immediately reached for my phone to say happy bday it reminded me of those times.
.
What a kind, hilarious, intelligent and successful sexy force you are in this world that needs it. I love watching you blossom and you inspire me with your passion to love the universe while also loving yourself.
.
I can’t wait to see you in a couple weeks. I love you Sassy!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I’ve been working on this. Because comparison can kill ya, especially when you’re working along side and learning from others in your industry.
.
In the past I would have felt twinges of jealousy now and then, but now I’ve re-assigned the emotion of jealousy to genuine excitement for someone’s success— it’s an absolute game changer. (Well it has been for me) because it’s natural to feel a little jealous or compare yourself from time to time— but we are all on unique journeys with unique timelines.
.
The trick is to make it genuine, it can’t be forced or fake. My excitement is real excitement and it feels a lot less heavy and a lot happier in my body/brain that way.
.
We are all incomparable.
.
BTW... This works with:
Business
Friends
Colleagues
Family members
.
Anyone you compare yourself to really.
.
Of course there are some exceptions to this rule. But you get the picture.
.
As a super self-critical entrepreneur—This tip has been handy to have in my pocket. Do you like this and will you try it?

I’m doing a workshop tomorrow night in Rockford IL and I’d love it if you’d join me. The number one thing, if you do anything at all on social media to enhance your local business, is to be seen and loved.
.
I have a workshop that will walk you through proven ways to be seen through the noise and how to create a community around your local business online, and I’m so grateful that the North End Business association asked me to present this workshop!
.
If you want more info comment or DM me! 🙂 We’re donating $5 of the admission back to the North End Biz Association which makes my heart happy because I get to support my community and help local businesses at the same time.

Oh boy. This week is a big ol week!
Vendor and sponsorship applications went out for my non-profit (@buywbl)’s holiday event.
.
My retail store has a huge weekend event planned with 4 other record stores that needed a lot of organization, design, and marketing. (#rkfdrecordcrawl19)
.
I have a couple big projects due that I’m working on right now!
.
How do I stay focused and not feel overwhelmed?
- I make sure my to-do list is organized
- I use an app like focus-keeper so I don’t get off track. Look it up.
- I assess how much time each task will take me so I have a realistic idea of what I’m capable of and don’t hold myself to a ridiculous expectation.
- I live by my calendar. Even my husband knows if it’s not in our shared calendar it doesn’t exist to me. 🤦‍♀️
.
All of this being said, none of this comes easy to me! But when people ask me “How do you get everything done?” This is literally what I’m thinking in my head.
.
What are your tricks for focus and productivity?

The 6th annual Rockford IL Record Crawl happens this Saturday and as part of the event there are ✅Limited edition buttons at each business ✅ Limited edition T-shirts at each business ✅ Limited edition tote bags at each business... there are punch cards, press releases, and signage to be distributed. All of these things need to be designed and followed through. I’m lucky enough to have the pleasure of designing all of these materials and organizing this event with @skylercdavis.
.
This is one of my favorite events of the year and all of the hard work comes to fruition this weekend!
