What a great thread. Concerning your quote Sean, I’ve heard it called “clean-slate” thinking and have attended a seminar several past-year’s Decembers where we plan out the upcoming year while leaving the failures of the past behind.

This gives you free reign to map out where you want to go without old limitations.

Like Sean said above, I feel like this is more a choice than a habit – but habits begin with choice so (splitting hairs??)

One of my best habits is to create more content than I consume.

It became all too easy to spend my days reading, attending trainings, watching videos in all-out learning mode.

And because there was not outflow for all the…[Read more]

I think you are in good company, Sean!

As a rule of thumb, if you have not used it in a year you probably don’t need it.

This takes into account seasonal items that only come out once a year.

An exception would be things that you use, but not frequently (BUT you actually use them).

For example, one family I worked with has a sausage…[Read more]

Thanks Leslie, great questions.

I’ll tackle them one at a time before moving on to part 3.

1) I don’t want all my best stuff just getting posted within FB groups for all to see, I want my best stuff to be reserved for those joining my list.
I think the days are gone when you could give people just a taste and it would be enough for them to s…[Read more]

I also think it’s helpful to remember that resistance to anything new is real.
Biologically, we are wired to resist change and yes, I’ve seen in my own life where it seems like my own body is against me.

I can’t think of one live course that I’ve taken from Sean where I didn’t get sick.
Big time resistance to change – and I know that about…[Read more]

Before I give Step 2 I want to emphasize that my focus here is on “free” traffic.
In other words – paying with your time instead of your dollars.

Also, if you focus and get things done while in FB and don’t get sucked into your feed, it does not take that much time.

My biggest time chunk was outlining my ideas and writing quick posts to…[Read more]

Very well said. When you look around and see people doing something similar it can cause you to put on the brakes.
It has done that to me before.

I try to remember that my ideal client is so much like me.
We run in the same circles.
We’re learning from the same folks.
Reading the same books, articles, etc.

It’s only natural that someone else…[Read more]

Robert,

I feel for you. I know how a stressful day job can leave you feeling like you just don’t have anything left at the end of the day.

My advice to you would be to use the information in the training area starting with;

Introduction to Creating a Blueprint For Your Business

And get clear…[Read more]

Yes, I do think minimalism means different things to different people and that it is sometimes hard to define what is “needed”.

Which is the core of my definition of minimalism.

As has been attributed to Albert Einstein – “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

It is definitely possible to go to extremes.

But I…[Read more]

Scott you might want to think of your Facebook Page as blog post of sorts.

My WordPress site automatically posts to my FB page and since FB pages are public it starts showing up, first in your fans feed or notifications but it can also show as a “you might also be interested in” selection for people.

The biggest thing I look for is if people…[Read more]

Thanks for all the input here.

I did get a lot of good information at genderbrainscience.com/business/

As a little background;

Most of my offline business’ consisted of mostly male workers, so I was always in the lead.
I’d take some time to get to know how each one “worked” and work with them accordingly.

I was never interested in people…[Read more]
