If you haven’t noticed, I do a lot of public speaking. It has become second nature to me. To be totally honest, I would much rather be talking to a crowd of people than having a one-on-one conversation. Is that weird? It is something I should probably look into more.

The question I probably get asked the most at my DIY PR workshops is: Should I Use HARO? I know a lot of small business owners do use HARO to look for media opportunities. If you don’t know what HARO is, it is an e-mail that is sent out 3 times a day where journalists can post what they are looking for in terms of the stories they are working on.

I have been thinking a lot about this blog post for the last few weeks, but I am only sitting down now to write it. Quite frankly, I wasn’t sure if I was going to write it because to be honest it embarrassing. No one wants to blast to the world that something they are working on failed.I had to cancel some of my DIY PR workshops in July because despite my efforts to promote the events on social media I wasn’t able to get anyone to sign up. Even writing that sentence out makes me a little sick to

Each of us has about 50,000 thoughts each day. Most are judgments. Many are negative. All are stories. Most of them are fiction.
We find ourselves saying:
“I’m never going to get that promotion.”
“Money is not my strong suit.”
