Remabulous

Thoughts on another birthday while single

Ah #6, my achilles tendon this year. As we move into August, I have started to reflect on each of my 32 goals for the past year and my progress made. I have done so much more than I thought I would in certain ways. In other goals, like "learn Spanish" my lack of doing anything but a few practice phrases with my housekeeper and friends make me wonder how much importance I really put there...

I found this video this morning on Salon, and loved the simple beauty of it. It made me feel less pained about the difficulty of #6: Find love. I believe it was the most briefly stated goal, but it had so much inside of it.

Enjoy this. I loved it loved it.

I was lucky and went to an all girls' school. Every girl deserves the chance to study and follow her dreams. This is our new Tip Jar charity. I give 5% of all of Remabulous's proceeds to Girl Effect. If you'd like to add to this, please click the tip jar in the top right corner of the blog. Thank you!

Worried about failure? Expect it, instead.

I'm teaching a class on procrastination in a week, so I've been thinking a lot about fear of failure and fear of not doing things perfectly. For anyone who's struggling with this, I offer the above video for your consideration. It helps me with feeling stuck, and I hope it does the same for you...

Gary Vaynerchuk on Building a Personal Brand: Video of the Week.

I love a man who will come out and say "Stop doing shit you hate!" out loud at a conference. Good stuff.

Daniel Pink on why creativity will be king in business.

I have been reading- and loving- Daniel H Pink's A Whole New Mind: Why RIght Brainers Will Rule the Future. I am very excited by the concepts that he shares, especially the idea that the ability to construct meaningful and engaging story is a required skill at this point to success in business.

Think about it... you can farm out many repeatable tasks once you have the capital to do so, but you can't farm out your vision or the dream that got you going down this path in the first place, can you? More emphasis needs to be placed on meaning and the way we transmit it in the new world of business.

So please do enjoy the story straight from the horse's mouth in this video above...

Meetup makes a great video segment!

As many of you have noticed, we are loving video as a communication format over here at Remabulous. Some exciting things are underway... a whole new site is in the works, new packages and new opportunities to learn how video can transform the way you market your business. Video has the power to show who you are and what your business message is in a far more intimate format that both inspires and gives valuable information to your potential customers and clients.

I have organized a meet-up knitting group in West Hollywood for almost two years. I have loved all the wonderful people it has brought into my life and the chance it provides for people to share over a common love of crafts. Teaching knitting to this group has been my way of giving back.

The video above is an amazing example of how one minute and a half can supercharge your marketing. Who doesn't want to be a part of meet-up after seeing this video?

If you want to talk about how video can help you and your business... my coaching now includes video instruction as well... sign up for a consult to talk more.

Angela Jia Kim on closing old doors and opening new ones.

Loved, loved loved this. And as I have just decided to leave Book Soup in order to pursue Remabulous full time, it couldn't have come at a better moment. Stick around for the piano afterward... it really is a gift.
