Re: 3 Ways Home Yoga Practice Can Help You Feel Better About Your Body

Faith Watson — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:49:03 -0000

Anna, I feel much the same way, with extra emphasis on number 1. Because I teach, I usually am "the boss." But at home, I am giving only to myself--the same benefit I feel students get from class. That idea that you devote the time and energy and bring it to your self in a yoga class with the intention of meeting your own needs and wants there. Now doing that at home can be even more powerful--it's an environment where for some of us it's even more of a challenge to carve out that time and energy and give only to ourselves. I love the respect I have been able to show myself in being able to do that.

Sara, I plan put a link to this page in a newsletter article I'm writing for Bally Total Fitness members. The Nov. 2013 issue will feature two recipes for healthy pumpkin treats to go. I will also use the credit line "Recipe courtesy of Nourish and Flouish" and it will hyperlink to your page here. Thank you!

Re: Pumpkin-Coconut Protein Bars

Faith Watson — Sat, 19 Oct 2013 15:21:02 -0000

Absolutely! They are sent to members only first via email, but mid November it will go up online here (you can see the last issue if you click on the B Newsletter link in the bottom right corner): http://www.ballyfitness.com/ Thanks, these are great!

Re: Landing Page Roundup: Some of My Favorite Landing Pages From September & October

Faith Watson — Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:59:51 -0000

Okay. I bought Lead Pages during the Pat Flynn webinar...when was that, a month ago? More? I have saved all the emails and not done one thing. Sure, I've been busy, but mostly I have resistance. I'm afraid I won't get how and will get stuck on the technical. I should just do one thing to prove I can get it done. Where should I start? I have my new offer, I'm read to go. What's the simplest way to get myself going? I need and love these!

I know this is true. I'm doing it this week. Thank you. Clay is right, I've been waiting to have the right "magnet" and creating other delays. I'll just have to trust and try!

I'm late to this party as I was out of town during Darlene's announcement, but I'm just so excited. I've enjoyed her creatively and duh I never knew Darren's photo background, just have been following him recently through Problogger as I'm newish to this internet marketing entrepreneur game. Crazy good match up. Yay for you both!

Re: This Headline Tweak Boosted Response By 307%

Faith Watson — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:01:08 -0000

So many valid reasons offered for headline B's success. I feel it's a bit like a perfect storm, or a gift basket: when you fill it up with several good things, is more likely one of the things in the basket will make the receiver happy.That's why they're great corporate gifts. If receiver likes all the things, it's exponential. I also want to point out why I try to get people to relax about the length of their headlines. It's been drilled into everyone's heads that no one will read a long headline, especially online. What no one will read is empty words or words that don't speak to their needs. Like "Rescue Remedies." That doesn't mean anything so it proves useless to shorten copy for the sake of trying to keep attention. We seriously don't give people enough credit with some of the old dogma. This is an ebook -- do you think the ideal audience won't read 17 words? :-)

Re: 7 Christmas Songs I Will Never Get Sick Of (And Why)

Faith Watson — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:03:01 -0000

I've been making sure to hear Santa's Got a Brand New Bag for the last few years (SheDaisy). I like to rock out at Christmas. But another couple of newer "classics" are Pretenders 2000 Miles, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (many versions are great but Chrissy Hynde is so warm and strong...) ... Old School to never get sick of is Burl Ives Holly Jolly Christmas and Dean Martin's Baby It's Cold Outside. Oh I could go on. Celine's whole Christmas album actually has many great songs on it. The family singing in French at the end makes me want to cry every year as does her version of Ave Maria. Merry Christmas to All!

Re: Quotes About Writing and Overcoming Doubt

Faith Watson — Tue, 31 Dec 2013 17:48:39 -0000

Similar to "you have something remarkable to say," I love the quote, "Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best." Which is attributed to Henry Van Dyke. Singing, writing, dancing... we have to put ourselves out there or who else will, right?

I have a closet filled with piles of (literally) typed stuff which I thought was embarrassing, but now I find completely endearing. Honestly, the older I get, the sweeter my crappy young writing seems to me, and the more I want to keep it to look back on it, smile and nod. I'm glad I didn't burn it all in horror when I was a bit younger, as I was tempted. It's like some of those haircuts. And jumpsuits and stuff. We learn, we grow, plus we could never really get away with that again, and this is all good to know from a happy distance.

Re: How to Find Your Own Community of Business Owners: A Review of Fizzle.co (with Behind-the-scenes video)

Faith Watson — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:13:14 -0000

Great review, John. As a Fizzle addict, I concur. The community has meant so much to me, and the learning that is available through the library is top notch. And while there are many big member successes to mention, it'd be a shame to overlook the hundreds of smaller/more subtle successes and their impact, exponentially. When I look back at what I started with when I joined in May, to my just-launched site this week, I'm amazed. It's literally evolved through and from interactions on Fizzle. --Faith

Re: Niche Site Duel 2.5.0: An Update on FoodTruckr (After 2 Months!)

Faith Watson — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:09:43 -0000

Beautiful update! Pat, I joined the Duel, at first thinking I'd have a journaling site. Instead, I pivoted and now I have relaunched this week as a copywriting site for small biz and entrepreneurs and I am SO happy. I've made so much progress since I met you last spring in Chicago-- I still read and think of you so fondly. Loved the truth about connecting with a tiny audience. PS At a glance I thought your podcast logo said "Feed Your Foodtruck Business" and I was wowed. ;-)

WOW! I'd like to congratulate the guys at Fizzle for bringing this stellar piece of work together. BYS changed my trajectory just recently, and I was just about to re-read and go through all my notes to put more into action. HOORAY for this; it might be the most valuable thing ever about my membership, which I already adore. Thank you!

Re: SPI 103: Stop Being a Superhero. It’s Killing Your Business (and You)

Faith Watson — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:25:33 -0000

I just read this page--haven't listened yet--but did the three column exercise, and put "learn to hire a VA" in the "Can not do" section because I feel I just don't have the time! Is that sick? To be fair, I put "listen to important podcasts and take courses on certain subjects" in the "Do not like" column. Can I skip straight to hiring someone to translate the knowledge on how to hire someone, to me? :-D

Chris, you have a great idea in the latter... it's been a hot topic of late in my mastermind group meetings lately, during which my peer & friend Darlene Hildebrandt has been bringing me various suggestions directly from you & your teachings. We are very close to pulling the trigger--but I do need to learn more & let go!

Re: And They Said I Was Stupid—A Thought from 21,400 Feet in the Air

Faith Watson — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 08:44:51 -0000

Hi Pat! I loved your post. I have to admit I now use meeting YOU a year ago and not knowing who you were at all, as a random fact/fun story about me. Especially because your backpack said, "Hi My Name Is Pat." When the spotlight at the conference went on you and everyone started cheering, theeennn I...actually, nope, nothin'. I was not in this realm we're in together now today, so, to me, you were just a nice kid who beat the terrible storm on his way to Chicago whose name was the same as my mom's. I have so many bits of trivia--I've been realizing that I've lived so much and am grateful I've met so many people and paid attention to my days!--but I'll share this one:

I met Bill Murray when I got to work backstage at these big Eric Clapton Crossroads concerts that were held in Chicago a couple of times (he was the emcee). I'm a huge fan but managed not to be starstruck b/c he is soooo down to earth and a great guy. It began as I was told to put a couple of 12 packs of beer in his green room's fridge, it was part of his contract. He came in as I was loading them and walked up to take them from me to help...and then he wisecracked about the beer brand and said to take them away (love Bill Murray!) ...so I hesitated with two 12 packs and he said, "Whoa, nice guns" and proceeded to squeeze my biceps. "What do you do to work out?" I told him mostly body weight exercise, I owned an alternative fitness studio then, and I was a Pilates instructor. "Pilates? I know Pilates, I have a Reformer."

Oddly, superstar Mr. Bill Murray and I continued to bond on the subject of alternative fitness through the weekend. He demonstrated some movements from his latest program, Egoscue, which I knew nothing about. I discussed his golf habit and what might help with his game and body... and he made me sit on his couch to experience a cryogenic type machine he carried with him: "which knee is your worse one?" he asked. My right, but he was sitting on my left so he struggled to wrap the band around, and I said something like, "My leg might be too big," and he smirked, "You do have powerful thighs..."

Oh Bill Murray. Or Billy, as James Caan (the dad in Elf for you young ones) called him later in the concert weekend as we watched him entertain the masses, Jimmy's around me in the green room. See, Jimmy, that would be what Jeff Daniels called him, who...oh never mind. Just the best weekend ever... and every time Mr. Murray would call out my name looking for something, my husband would say, "Honey, Bill wants you. Use those thighs and hustle over there." ;-)

Hi Mark--I'm excited to learn that you haven't built your audience by paying for ads... I look forward to hearing more about your techniques, and hopefully you'll share if and how you were able to monetize a healthy percentage of your likes or convert them into an engaged audience elsewhere?
