I have an abalone shell on my bathroom sink. It has a clear quartz point, a piece of tiger eye, and a piece of rose quartz. Each morning when I go into the bathroom for the first time, I look myself in the mirror nad say, I love you, Ronda. Then I touch the stones and set the intention for clarity, confidence, and doing all things with love this day. That's a ritual that takes me maybe a minute if I'm especially sleepy. It sets a beautiful tone for my day. THursday/Friday (dpd time zone) I'm offering a chance to tap into what will help you feel nurtured and special.

Video can help people trust you before they ever book a call, join your community, or buy your course. It can also make very smart, experienced people suddenly forget how to speak like normal human beings. In this week’s episode of The Art of Online Course Creation, I’m joined by @Steve Gast to talk about how course creators can use video to build their personal brand without sounding stiff, scripted, or overly polished. We get into camera confidence, video sales letters, creating content without making it a full-time job, and what changes when you’re recording video for your actual course. If you’ve ever hit record and immediately stopped sounding like yourself, this one is for you. 🎧 Listen to: Video Marketing for Course Creators: Build Your Personal Brand Without Sounding Scripted with Steve Gast

Don't be a thought leader. I think everyone who tried to be active there was annoyed by this rule at least once. But with time, I got to appreciate it. Why? Because trying to act like a thought leader/expert was not doing me any favors. The problem with making "definitive guides", "tip compilations", "special secrets" and that kind of stuff is that by doing that I was positioning myself as an expert who has everythinng figured out on my niche. And by taking that position I'm competing with the top players, who unlike me, have much bigger numbers and overwelming social proof to backup their claims. So how do you not do that? You stop being afraid of not being seen as the expert. You position yourself as someone who is figuring stuff out and invite others to figure it out with you. How does that look? Instead of "How to do X", "The defininitive guide to Y", you make "I tried do do X, here is what happened", "My analysis of...", "My reaction to..." "Here is a story about how I...". Being experimental and honest about your journey, while admiting that you're trying to get better and learn something everyday will make you a much more relatable and interesting content creator and community owner. And that's what I try to do on both my communities. Click on my profile if you want to check them out.
