We all want to get everything on our weekly to do list done, but it often feels like it's just not happening.  There's a reason why a weekly to do list lowers your income and Jarrod Haning is here to explain.Jarrod Haning is a mindset performance coach. He differentiates himself from a life coach by this example: “If you go to a life coach, they say things like, ‘What do you think you should do?’ The problem with that is that what you think you should do is what has you in the mess you’re in. If you went to the gym, the strength coach would not ask you what exercise you thought you should do that day. They tell you exactly what to do and all you have to do is do it. And if you continue to follow their advice, you will see results. That’s what I do; I bring people to the mindset gym where they do mindset push-ups.”Grab your Mastering Overwhelm BlueprintRead more HERE

Back in the “olden days” of blogging, we could count on getting tons of free traffic from Pinterest and Facebook.

Do you ever feel like Instagram is a waste of time for your blog? Do you figure that if it’s not driving traffic to your blog, it’s not worth your time and energy? I get that. But today, I want to show why Instagram matters for bloggers and how to use it to its fullest so that it can impact your business. I started my original blog in 2009. Instagram wasn’t even in existence at the time, and as it came on the scene, I wasn’t fully convinced that I needed to spend any of my limited energy on it. When I finally got on the platform, I could not figure out the purpose of it. All of us OG bloggers were used to being able to drop links to our blog on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. Those links drove traffic, and traffic is what we needed. Instagram didn’t have the capability of leaving a direct link, so we all figured, why bother?That was all back in 2021. We’re now 12 years past that, and Instagram is more important than ever. But if you don’t know how to use it, it will still be frustrating for you. Grab your I
