The best social sharing snippet from this interview is by far... "It's just your vulnerability is your strength. It is, you know, it's your empowerment. And so, you know, working a lot of times with people with their inner child things that they have. You know, they still haven't had resolved inner child wounding and still keep with stories that have become really stagnant for them. And, and again, it's that, it's that repeated pattern. And it's just repeating things over and over and over and over again. And there's a lot of guilt and shame and blame going on. And you just need to, you know, it's important for me to go, let's zero in on all the positive things, all the things that you can do, all the ways that you're of value, all the ways that you're of worth."

"put you front and center in your marketing, whether that's your face, whether that's your voice, whether it's video, like it doesn't have to be, it doesn't have to take any specific form, but just don't hide, like you speak the way you speak. Share what matters to you. I mean, show your face at least, like even if it's just a photo be a human, like be as you, as you can. And that is what really makes your marketing stand apart. That's the only thing you have that no one else has or can ever have is you. So putting that front and center is so important and so powerful."

The best social sharing snippet from this interview is by far... "I think a lot of people put so much emphasis on design and I'm speaking to myself where copy and messaging is kind of an afterthought. And again, I do not want to devalue design because it is very, very important with looking professional. And even if people don't think they, the design matters, good design does matter and converting. But what I've learned and what I truly feel is true is that design engages. Words convert."

In this episode, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Paul Benedict talks with you and I about the importance of realizing the power and control we have over our own life and circumstances.

Mastering this initial step of calming and self-regulating amidst chaos sets the stage for overcoming future challenges and achieving greater control overall.

Rose also touches on the shift toward quality and accountability in blogging, akin to journalistic standards, spurred by search engine updates like Google's 'Helpful Content Update'. The episode concludes with Rose's perspective on using AI as a tool to enhance writing rather than replace human creativity and insight.

This video introduces you to Google Search Console (GSC), a free tool by Google that assists in analyzing and optimizing a website's presence in Google search results. I cover the importance of GSC for anyone curious about their website's search terms, rankings, and overall performance in search. Six key GSC functionalities are highlighted: submitting sitemaps, managing visible pages through indexing, understanding average page position, tracking URL clicks from organic search, counting the number of impressions to measure visibility, and evaluating click-through rates to assess title and description effectiveness. The presenter emphasizes GSC's ease of use, its cost-effectiveness (free), and how it stands out compared to other SEO tools, encouraging viewers who manage their own SEO to check the show notes for additional resources.
