“Let me tell you a story.”

Storytelling means so many things to so many people.

At the core, it's very primal.

An ancient art.

Sitting around a fire 🔥 telling tales of the latest hunt.

Passing down generational knowledge.

Sharing epic tales through song and dance.

All that good stuff.

In our digital world, it's more visual.

Photographic Storytelling combines powerful imagery with an effective narrative.

On social media, that means using short lines of text that flow together.

Perhaps a handful of words.

Maybe two.

Then, you can make a longer sentence that draws someone in — and use dashes to combine two sentences that share a common theme.

The dash is a nice visual touch; it’s more appealing than a semicolon.

Once someone is intrigued, it’s time to stimulate the five senses.

A reader should taste your PB&J sandwich.

They should feel the peanut butter sticking to the roof of their mouth.

Smell the jelly as it comes out of the jar.

Hear the rustle of the bread bag.

See their hands putting the sandwich into their mouth.

Then, if you have a photo of you taking a big bite out of the sandwich, even better.

OK, now I'm hungry!

I wonder what I should eat ....... ...

I love experimenting with apps and integrating the best ones into my business workflow.⁣
⁣
But it wasn’t always like that. For decades, “buying software” meant a huge investment upfront – followed by sizeable upgrade fees every year.⁣
⁣
Enter the SaaS subscription market. — Someone figured out that by charging an affordable monthly rate, out-of-reach software suddenly became democratized. Everyone could afford Photoshop and Lightroom, because they were just $10/month.⁣
⁣
However, this affordable software model quickly leads to a new financial burden known as “app creep.” As in, “before you know it, all the small apps have created a big monthly credit card bill. It’s an epidemic these days.⁣
⁣
To help you avoid a business appidemic (see what I did there?), here’s a list of all my go-to apps.⁣
⁣
✅ 7 Apps I can’t live without⁣
✅ 4 Apps that help make money⁣
✅ 4 Apps that make the leads flow in⁣
✅ 5 Apps that make it all work⁣
✅ 3 Advertising Apps ⁣

Have you ever noticed a little lock icon and the word “secure” next to a URL in your web browser?⁣
⁣
When you see that, it means that the site has an added layer of security called an SSL certificate. ⁣
⁣
You also may notice that the URL begins with https instead of http. The extra “S” is for “secure.”⁣
⁣
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a way of encrypting websites to make them safer and less hackable. ⁣
⁣
It establishes an encrypted link between the website and your browser, which allows all data transferred to remain private.⁣
⁣
To create this added layer of security, your website needs to have an SSL Certificate installed.⁣
⁣
For e-commerce websites — or anywhere that you provide personal information — having an SSL has long been a requirement. However, most informational websites could get away with not using one … until a few years ago.⁣

There’s nothing quite like travel to help you grow as a person.⁣
⁣
From the highs to the lows, leaving your comfort zone behind opens new doors into personal insight. ⁣
⁣
What’s really amazing is how those lessons can be interpreted in so many different ways.⁣
⁣
For instance, I’m about to take five things I learned while traveling – and spin them into a lesson about running your own business. ⁣
⁣
So grab your passports and let’s start the journey.⁣
⁣
1. Always hire the local guide.⁣
⁣
2. Just because something is famous doesn’t mean it’s worth seeing.⁣
⁣
3. The best camera is the one you have with you.⁣
⁣
4. Try every food you see – no matter how strange.⁣
⁣
5. When you go for cheap, you get what you pay for.⁣
⁣
CURIOUS to see how I spin that into a business lesson?⁣

I say YES! over and over again for 1 minute, 11 seconds - every day @ 1:11pm PST⁣⁣

You should join me.⁣⁣

My dream is to have the whole world do it together.⁣⁣

Imagine the power of so many people saying YES! at the same time.⁣⁣Let's unite to spread joy, love, positivity, and YES!⁣⁣⁣

Let's create a wave of YES! that ripples around the globe.

⁣⁣⁣YES!⁣⁣

»»»» How to maximize your YES!⁣⁣

1. SET AN ALARM⁣
I suggest finding out what time 1:11pm PST is in your time zone. That way, you know that at least one other person is doing it at the same time! (me, of course).⁣⁣

2. BRING THE FAM⁣
Kids LOVE doing this practice with you. Make it a family event. Come together for a moment of YES!⁣⁣

*** Warning – You may feel silly. You may want to stop. That’s normal. There’s a security system at the edge of your comfort zone. Allow the feelings to be there – then YES! your way through them.

⁣⁣YES!

Do you know what I love most about therapists?⁣
⁣
You don’t hold your punches when calling me out on my BS.⁣
⁣
This truth was recently reinforced by a therapist’s response to a marketing email I sent. ⁣
⁣
The question she posed shook me to my core – and gave me plenty to think (and write) about.⁣
⁣
Here’s the story.⁣
