Do You Have a Growth Mindset?

Do you have a growth mindset? “Some people have a growth mindset, which means they hold an internal belief that their talents and intelligence can be developed from hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes. Others have a fixed mindset, which means they believe that their abilities are innate and cannot be changed much, if at all.” This quote is from Emily Ryan’s article “Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset – What Do They Really Mean?” She says that “those with a growth mindset are more likely to take on new challenges and learn new skilMovils, [...]

The Value of Being on a Peer Advisory Board

Ever since I joined one a few months ago, I’ve truly seen the value of being on a peer advisory board. I belong to a seven-member peer advisory board that meets virtually once a month for three hours. Mary Gaul, my business coach and owner of Success Magnified, runs this board and a few others. Having offered this peer advisory board experience for over eight years, Mary does a masterful job. The photo with this post shows Mary with me and the other members of my board. Top row: Joyce Feustel, Mary Gaul, and Amanda Miller; Middle row: Jennifer [...]

Use Social Media to Announce Your Accomplishments

Do you use social media to announce your accomplishments? You may feel that people will get annoyed if you celebrate yourself. Instead, I have experienced that people will be happy for you and honor you for your accomplishments.   Being Named 2024 Solopreneur of the Year On February 13, 2024, the West Metro Chamber of Commerce, serving Jefferson County, Colorado, named me its 2024 Solopreneur of the Year. There were three award finalists, and the emcee acknowledged each of us individually. I was thrilled to hear her read my name as the award winner. Walking up to the stage [...]

In-Person or Virtual Business Networking Groups?

Do you prefer in-person or virtual business networking groups?

Launching a LinkedIn Newsletter

Have you considered launching a LinkedIn newsletter? If you’ve already done so, it would be great to hear about your experiences. I’ll launch my LinkedIn newsletter on February 9, and I’m excited about this venture. A part of my plans to start this newsletter, I’ve turned to LinkedIn and other sources to learn what’s involved. Also, I’ve reviewed a handful of newsletters published by colleagues to get ideas on format and topics. You might be wondering what’s involved with a LinkedIn newsletter. Instead of publishing articles individually, as you would when you post, you can publish them through your branded [...]

Get on the First Page of a Google Search

Do you want to get on the first page of a Google search? Recently, my business coach challenged me to try various search terms on Google and see how my business showed up. I started with “social media coach” and then tried other related search terms that Google suggested. When I typed in “professional social media coach near me,” my business was on the first page of Google. Wow! Only a few other independently owned businesses came up higher than I did. Other higher listings were from places like Thumbtack and Yelp. In this blog post, I share some [...]

Thoughts on Getting Older

What are your thoughts on getting older? Since I'm celebrating my 75th birthday this week, I’ve been reflecting on what getting older means to me. Research findings vary in terms of classifying older people into different segments. The approach that makes the most sense to me is the following: People 60 – 74 are young-old People 75 – 84 are old-old People 85+ are the oldest-old Seeing that I’m leaving the young-old category and moving into the next one is sobering. Over the last few years, I’ve had a few more aches and pains. Yet, I’m very fortunate to have [...]
