New Blog! "AARP and The Red Cross Celebrate Make-A-Will Month, But Here’s What They Didn’t Tell You" August is National Make-A-Will Month, and you may have received an advertisement in your inbox or mailbox from AARP or the American Red Cross reminding you to get your Will taken care of this month. Both AARP and the Red Cross promoted their partnerships with FreeWill.com, a website that claims to help you create a legally valid Will in just 20 minutes. A Will is usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think of getting your affairs in order, so the advice presented by AARP, the Red Cross, and National Make-A-Will Month itself sounds really good. But in reality, the message of AARP and the Red Cross for Make-A-Will Month could leave your family with a stressful mess when you die or if you become incapacitated first. To understand why, it’s important to know what a Will does and where its limits lie. Read more...... (Link in comments)

Here’s a snapshot of anonymous feedback we received from someone who participated in testing Reveal the Elephant board game in their workplaces and groups: "I like that this game prompted discussions about race and asked participants to assess their feelings and emotions. It is imperative that people bring this work into their bodies and acknowledge their feelings about race and equity in the workplace.” If this resonates with you, and/or you think your organization can benefit from a game that gives people the tools they need to have effective conversations about racial equity, we urge you, head to our Kickstarter campaign to pre-order your copy today.

Everything you produce should have a specific person in mind. Your target client isn’t everyone! When working with one of my recent clients I asked: “So tell me about your target audience.” She responded, “Oh everyone comes in, we serve everyone for 5 to 95” 🛑🛑🛑 Wait, let’s back it up! Yes, everyone from the ages of 5-95 might be coming in to your facility. But that’s not your target client. Your target client is the person that makes the buying decision. We eventually found out they are a family-centered business and it was typically young or middle aged moms coming in with their kids. PERFECT! → Our starting point for our target client is now: Moms between the ages of 25 and 50 → We can now begin stacking additional qualifications or interests on top of this broad cohort of people. The point is, identifying EXACTLY who you are talking to will shape how you present your business. Speak to the values and interests you know your target audience will resonate better with.

Discover the power of giving! Our blog delves into ways to give back and resonate with your audience through meaningful contributions. Read more! 📚 https://lnkd.in/e_xiizbD

I have B.I.G. tattooed on my ankle. It's old and blotchy, and kind of black now, but the meaning remains vibrant. ;) That's how long the women of this organization have been part of my personal and professional life. Over a decade ago, I was just in my mid-20s. Sure, I've made lots of money because of the education from the speakers and connections, but the BEST PART is the community and feeling connected because the truth... it can get lonely working from home and being an entrepreneur. Storytelling and messaging are pretty important when it comes to being an author, running a digital magazine, and in all areas of business. It's a skill I am always craving to improve. Our very next B.I.G. meeting happens to be VIRTUAL and I'd love for you to come. We are learning about Messaging and StoryTelling... If you would like to attend, BIG has changed the way it invites guests. Try BIG for 30 days for $5 with full access to ALL meetings, in-person and virtual. Use this link to sign up for the trial, and be sure to choose "PA Poconos Pod." https://lnkd.in/gxssbWai

It’s National Women’s Small Business Month, which makes it a great time to highlight Narcissus Danzey. With her husband, she owns a number of businesses in Dothan. As we learned more about them, we realized we couldn’t fit it all in a social media post. Their story needed a blog.
