    031: Motivation and Organization for the Creative Entrepreneur Jan 16, 2020
    Show notes

    Roben-Marie Smith & Sandi Keene talk about their very different approaches to motivations and organization. We both agree that Trello.com has changed our lives.
    How do you maintain discipline (or structure) when you are your own boss?
    What motivations work and don't?
    How do you meet deadlines?
    How do you prevent overworking?
    How do you make yourself accountable?
    Take-aways:
    •Forcing yourself into someone else's idea of productivity can be frustrating and detrimental.
    •Cherry picking from the approaches you research and tweaking it to match your personality works well.
    •Overworking is a temptation we need to avoid.
    •Transitions can be difficult and we struggle with them.
    •Constant procrastination signal a project that is a bad fit for you.
    •Rewards can work for you to get you through that unpleasant task.

    2. Something Personal:

    Add in one or two "personal" things about yourself. For example: coffee lover, world traveler, food bank volunteer, avid reader, etc. Sprinkle one or two more after step 3 or 4.

    3. Who are You?:

    It is important that your visitors know what it is you do and who you serve. Share a short statement sharing what you do and why. What makes you different? Be specific and drive home your uniqueness.

    4. Meaningful Hashtags:

    Add in one or two relevant hashtags. If you have a "signature" hashtag that you use often, then add it to your profile.

    5. Call to Action:

    Add a call to action so visitors can explore more of your offerings. Examples: blog, website, shop, latest challenge, freebie, etc.
