When negative feedback shakes your confidence, it can be difficult to get back to feeling like yourself at work. In this episode, Anne and Frances help a struggling listener who has spent years toning herself down in the workplace after being told that she was too assertive — now, she feels that her modest approach is holding her back. Together, they use Anne and Frances’s “trust triangle” framework to explore how empathy, authenticity, and logic can help you rebuild confidence and trust with your colleagues, and share helpful confidence hacks for getting comfy with discomfort.

0:00 Do you ever feel compelled to rush throughout your day to get more stuff done? What about hustling when you know you don't even need to do that? If you've experienced either of these, you're gonna want to lean in and turn up the volume on today's episode because our guest, Savanna Schiavo is going to help us ditch the hustle and reprogram the rush. 1:09 About Savanna Schiavo 2:25 Savanna’s life before becoming a life and confidence coach. 5:55 Why hustle and rush often creep into our lives and how conditioning, culture, and our internal desires inform these activities. “Hustle and rush are coming from a place of fear, and a place of lack. It's us acting out of fear of not-enoughness essentially.” - Savanna Schiavo 11:06 The correlation between fear of lack and confidence. 11:59 “When we're taking actions from the place of hustle and rush, it's blocking our confidence. It's blocking our creativity, our energy, our ability to flow, our ability to relax and tap into our gifts." - Savanna Schiavo 13:18 “To access more confidence in our business, we have to solve for the fear that's been driving our business. We need to look at the fear that is keeping us from feeling competent.” - Savanna Schiavo 14:45 How business owners can tap into and reprogram fear so it works for us and it becomes something positive versus staying stuck in that negative emotion. 15:32 What do you believe is keeping you going all the time? What are the beliefs that have been driving this behavior for me? 16:10 Common beliefs we don’t even notice that we think are true. 17:19 Question 2: Is this true? 19:30 Question 3: If you didn't believe this, what would be different about you? What you're doing is showing yourself, your subconscious mind, what would be available to you, if you decided to let go of this optional belief, and practice and open up to new beliefs. 22:02 How do we share ourselves, share our messages and attract the right people into our businesses using social media as a tool rather than a place to feel bad about ourselves? 23:11 On attracting the right people by being magnetic. 26:05 Savana’s favorite way to create content 27:10 “I let myself be the really imperfect human I am so people really get to see me. I think that's what is so powerful.” - Savanna Schiavo 29:06 Connect with Savanna 30:36 Grab Savanna’s journaling prompts inside the Arena of Awesome Group and share your biggest takeaways. ---------------------------- Ready to unearth the GOLD in your content?

Amplify Your Awesome™ with Yong Pratt
0:00 Have you ever been scrolling through your newsfeed and you saw a post that made you literally stop your scroll? This happened to me recently, and I wanted to share why I stopped my scroll and why I decided to share the story with you on the podcast today. 1:23 Why Yong has been embracing the good, the bad, and the ugly in business and sharing it with you here on the podcast. 2:15 How learning her Human Design helped Yong share her real self more openly and authentically, even though the fear still rises. 2:55 The lesson Yong continues to lean-into and practice even after 20+ years as an entreprenener. 3:42 Why a recent zoom call with a prospective client didn’t turn out as planned. 5:08 The phrase that was the beginning of the end 6:11 The reason behind why Yong used that particular phrase on a live Q&A turned podcast episode 7:24 Yong’s evidence that proved the opposite of the conclusions of the prospective client 8:28 The reason Yong got defensive on the call and stopped listening to her gut. 9:24 Listen to the first podcast that came about as a result of this conversation at www.yongpratt.com/340 9:46 The post caused Yong to stop her scroll 10:25 Here is what Deb’s post read: "Stop trying to convince people to work with you. Instead, create content that attracts them to you." 11:19 The reason why Yong was trying to convince this client to work with her 11:46 Yong’s former people-pleasing ways 12:09 “It's okay just to be you. In being you, the right people are going to be attracted to you. And the reality is that not everyone will like you.” - Yong Pratt 13:03 “At the end of the day, it's our job to show up authentically, and create content that speaks to those that we want to serve and that also serves us in return. In this life, it's our obligation to speak our truth, to be our real selves, and to amplify everything that makes us awesome even if that means we don't get hired.” - Yong Pratt 13:39 “Those people that need convincing will never become a client of yours, or mine.” - Yong Pratt 14:05 The absolute Yong believes we all need to abolish 15:02 “Convincing someone to do something or invest in someone they don't believe in is a game that you can't win. Focus instead on serving, sharing your gifts and amplifying your awesome, even if not everyone will see or appreciate your awesomeness.” - Yong Pratt 15:40 “In this digital economy, there's no room for hiding. There's no room for being wishy washy. There's no room for accommodating others if that means you have to be someone else to make that happen.” - Yong Pratt 15:58 Just be you. 16:12 “It's time for the world to see you in all your awesome glory. It's time to embrace your you-ness 100%. It's time to appreciate your own gifts, your superpowers, your weird, so that you can truly and authentically Amplify Your Awesome™!” - Yong Pratt 16:34 Yong’s invitation to be a guest on the podcast and who she’s looking to interview. 17:29 If you’d like to be a guest on the podcast, head to www.YongPratt.com/interview 18:16 “Don't forget, it's not your job to convince people to work with you.

As someone that used to help other business owners create copious amounts of content to share on social media, I've learned that hiring out this task without having what I'm going to share with you today on the podcast, is a complete waste of money. 1:22 The inspiration for today’s episode 2:14 Yong’s cautionary tale of outsourcing and how it cost her a ton of time and money 2:59 What most service-based providers don’t do and how it’s a sign to look elsewhere 4:53 How not knowing what you don’t know could cost you more time and money in the long-run 5:12 The FIRST, and most important thing to look for when hiring out social media 6:58 If potential companies or individuals don’t provide THIS, run the other way 8:14 Why Yong doesn’t rely on social media and what she does instead 9:27 Don’t let social media managers talk you into THIS and what always gets overlooked 10:13 Offloading tasks like social media quickly is tempting + how the Myth of More derails so many 11:15 Yong’s 2 recommendations when hiring + how taking back your social media narrative is key to its success 13:12 Recap of the 2 Things you must do before delegating your social media 14:51 If you’re ready to unearth your own Content Goldmine and turn your content into endless supplies of social media content and cash, schedule a complimentary call with her now. 15:28 The 3-Step Framework Yong shared last week is a good starting point or hop on a call with Yong to talk about your content 16:45 “Don't get so wrapped up in offloading your social media that you forget about the vision of your business.” 18:26 Wanna D.I.G. into your own content and turn it into cash and endless content for social media?

0:03 As a transformation maker - a coach, a consultant, a course creator - you're creating an awful lot of content. Let me ask you a very candid question. Does all of that content equal cash for you? 0:23 Until fairly recently, Yong didn’t have a process for monetizing her content. Because she had so much content out there, there was not a lot of reason for people to actually hire her to help them do the things that I was teaching because they could go figure it all out for free. 1:21 What Yong did instead of Gary Vee Style Content Repurposing and how it turned into her signature 3-Step Framework to Turn Content into Cash 3:16 Today's episode topic: Yong’s three-step framework to turn your content [yep, that content you have already created] into cash. 4:14 Things you could do with all that extra cash, especially with summer right around the corner 4:55 Today’s topic isn’t one that’s talked about often which is exactly why you need to tune in and listen or watch the video version inside the Arena of Awesome 5:15 If you haven't listened to the Myth of More [#333] or Content Gold Mining versus the traditional Gary Vee style content repurposing [#334] be sure to do so as they lay the foundation for today’s episode 5:40 How Yong’s Nevada roots influenced and helped shape the idea of Content Gold Mining | The Low-Hanging Fruit for most content creators that has them flocking to Gary Vee Style Content Repurposing 7:36 One of the downfalls of the Gary Vee Content Repurposing Method 9:26 Surface level versus underground gold mining 10:53 The good news for you as a content gold miner 11:41 In order to turn your content into cash, all you have to do is D. I. G.. If you can remember that simple phrase, you literally have a way to monetize your content. 12:21 When you try out this framework in your business, be sure to share your questions, successes, and more with Yong at www.Yong Pratt.com/335 or inside the Arena of Awesome 13:17 Step 1 in the D.I.G. Framework: D = Discover + How to enlist the help of the kids in your life to help you complete this step 13:47 Need ideas on where to find kids and questions to ask to delegate the Discovery Process? Head to www.Yong Pratt.com/335 and ask Yong 14:49 One of the many benefits of joining Yong inside the Arena of Awesome 15:15 What the Discover phase entails | a simple tool you can use for yourself and Yong’s examples “The Discover Phase of the D.I.G. Framework allows you to see ALL your content gathered in one singular place. It’s often the first time my clients have seen just how much content they’ve actually created and it’s often an emotional experience in the best of ways.” - Yong Pratt 18:30 What you’ll likely notice during the Discovery Process 19:21 The reaction Yong’s clients have every.single.time. She takes them through this Discovery Process 20:56 An everyday example of what the Discovery Process is like 21:14 Step 1 in the D.I.G. Framework: I = Ideate and why it’s so exciting 22:15 How Yong used the Ideate Process to publish her first book 24:40 The focus of Yong’s first book 25:54 “I want to simplify the process, because that's one of my superpowers - Simplify the complicated.” - Yong Pratt 27:49 “In the ideation phase of the D.I.G Framework, there's no right or wrong. There's no one size fits all. You are unique. Your content is unique. And when you ideate and use your imagination to create, the possibilities are absolutely endless.” - Yong Pratt 28:22 Two additional ways Yong has used the Ideate Process herself and how you may be able to use it as well 29:27 “Because creation is not linear, you can take content that was once free and turn it into a paid offer that’s organized and delivered in a succinct way to get maximum results for your client.” - Yong Pratt 30:44 Inside Yong’s signature experience, Your Content Goldmine™, her six-month mentorship program coming up soon, you'll see bits and pieces of how she’s been able to ideate on her content.

0:01 I fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. I was once drawn into the world where MORE became my motto. I wore it like a badge of honor. I was always striving to be more, do more and create more. I stopped listening to the many signs my body was telling me to slow down on my quest for more. Ignoring those signals, landed me in the hospital for test after test, and ultimately being sent home, hooked to a heart monitor for days. The allure of more is a strong force, and few make it out unscathed. In today's episode, I'm going to share how I've made it to the other side of more, and how I can help you do the same...but only if you're ready to embrace a world where less is the new norm? 1:44 Here at Amplify Your Awesome™, we help course creators and coaches ditch content overwhelm, tap into endless supplies of social media content, and make money from the content they've already created. 2:22 Today we're diving into Content Gold Mining versus "Gary Vee" style content repurposing. It's a question I've been getting a lot of lately, so I wanted to, well, set the record straight. 2:37 If you haven't already listened to the last episode number 333. The Myth of More, I highly recommend you press pause and take a listen to that tale before continuing with this episode at www.yongpratt.com/333 2:56 That time when Yong stood firmly in the belief that repurposing content was THE marketing strategy everyone needed to use… 3:21 How Yong used 3 content repurposing automation tools to replace her full-time Virtual Assistant 3:42 When I talk about content repurposing, or the traditional "Gary Vee" style content repurposing the way it's talked about these days, here's what I mean. “Traditional, “Gary Vee” Style Content Repurposing the act of taking a large piece of content and extracting smaller chunks which you can then share.” - Yong Pratt 4:18 Reason #1 for “Gary Vee” Style Content Repurposing Number one: it looks like you're everywhere. And number two: one can more easily establish their expertise by having more of these smaller pieces of content. 5:02 The reason why traditional “Gary Vee” style content repurposing is costing you money. 5:33 What you need in place to get hundreds of pieces of content 6:12 Opportunity #1 Yong experienced by promoting and advocating for the use of 3 content repurposing tools 6:33 Opportunity #2 Yong experienced by promoting and advocating for the use of 3 content repurposing tools 7:10 That time when things started to crumble before Yong’s eyes 7:31 Some reasons why traditional “Gary Vee” style content repurposing didn’t work for my clients 8:15 The Two Myths Yong uses to describe traditional "Gary Vee" style content repurposing 8:41 The weight of Yong’s 1000s upon 1000s of pieces of content and its opportunity cost 9:42 The lesson Yong learned from training Freebie seekers and the money it cost 10:21 That time when Yong has months and months of social media posts pre-scheduled turned into social media dormancy 10:59 What Yong discovered during that social media dormancy 11:50 The tool Yong used to FINALLY be able to see all her beautiful content 12:45 What Yong recommends you do today with all YOUR awesome content 13:26 The patterns that emerged and the questions Yong began to ponder regarding her discovery 14:28 “Instead of focusing on transforming one piece of content into hundreds using the “Gary Vee” method of content repurposing, Content Gold Mining™ offers you many ways to monetize all your beautiful content.” - Yong Pratt 15:05 “Right now, at this moment, you have endless gifts you could offer to the world and get paid for doing so.” - Yong Pratt 15:24 Questions to ponder and experiment with starting today… 15:32 What have you stopped creating content today? For a week? Or even a month? 15:38 What if you reinvested some of that creation time into unearthing the gold from your own content goldmine? 15:47 What if you could turn your massive amounts of content into endless streams of income? 15:55 What if you could tap into that Gold Mine every time you wanted or needed to: Take a family vacation Hire a virtual assistant to help you put systems in place so that you could sell all the content that you want unearth. Hire someone to clean your house, do yard work, prep your meals and so much more so that you could free up time to spend with those you love? What about retire your parents or spouse? And this is just the tip of the iceberg of what you could experience by mining for the gold in your content. 16:25 A testimonial Yong got after a Content Gold Mining Session with 1:1 Client, Susan" "Wow, just wow. Yong certainly knows her stuff and the potency of content, namely your content. She quickly and effortlessly walks you through the value of your current content. She offers amazing options on delivering your hard work and talent found in your content and monetizing them as you offer your prospects irresistible offers. It's an emotional moment, when you realize your content can be massaged into other platforms to help others you must work with Yong." 17:42 “Monetizing content is where traditional style or "Gary Vee" style content repurposing really misses the mark. Its real focus has been on visibility and exposure, neither of which is a guarantee for sales.” - Yong Pratt 18:42 Wouldn't your time be better spent monetizing the content you already have? 18:48 What if it didn't have to be either-or? 18:52 If you could create endless content for social media, and endless streams of income from the content you already have, without the overwhelm? Would you want to know how to do it? 19:06 You my friend absolutely deserve to have both! And the time to make it happen is now. The doors to Your Content Gold Mine™, my six-month mentorship will be opening up soon, and I'd love to be your guide on this amazing adventure. 19:22 What’s included inside Yong’s 6-Month Mentorship 19:46 So my friend… If creating less content appeals to you… If monetizing the content you already have appeals to you… If having documented systems and processes to mine for the gold in your content appeals to you...

0:00 Have you ever been told that in order to get more followers, more subscribers, make more money, or establish your expertise is to create more content and be on more platforms?

I'll be sure to link up a trailer on today's show notes at www.YongPratt.com/333. 2:32 Once upon a time, there was an overwhelmed business owner that stumbled into the magical world of content repurposing and the allure of omnipresence 3:19 What the overwhelmed business owner saw when she looked around in the magical world and revealing her secrets to others 3:47 “In this magical world of content repurposing, messages were multiplied. Content was more than plentiful, and everyone's cup runneth over. And the allure of more was all-consuming.” - Yong Pratt 4:01 Leaving the magical world...just for a little while 4:15 How the MORE-NESS she’d magicked did not fill her money bags as she was lured into believing 4:47 Feeling distraught, she began to wonder where she went wrong. 4:53 How following the rules and creating MORE ultimately led to LESS 5:22 How retreating back into her pre-content repurposing world, helped the overwhelmed business owner discover her real self once again 5:44 The shocking discovery the overwhelmed business owner made 6:20 How the overwhelmed business owner left overwhelmed behind and how she uses the lessons she’s learned to help others overcome their quest for MORE. 8:27 The Brave New World where business owners stand shoulder to shoulder embracing the power of LESS 8:58 A happily ever after that can be yours, too. 9:09 The Myth of More does not have to be your reality. You, too, can embrace a world where doing less and creating less is the true measure of success. 9:22 If you're ready to enter into this brave new world with me and tap into the goldmine, that is your content, I invite you to book a call with me at www.YongPratt.com/333 9:49 Cheers to busting the Myth of More...together!

0:00 Do you ever wish you could pack up your suitcase, travel the world, and run your business from anywhere? Well, that's exactly what our guest today did with her family. Jessica Klasnick was living the American dream. However, she wanted more time with her family. So they sold everything, downsized, and traveled in a teeny, tiny RV as a family of five.

And so I would say the biggest tip, and this is a challenge is to figure out what you want, decide that you want it, and then not worry how you're going to get it. But start taking one step in the direction of that, that that dream or that desire. And just really give up on having to have that control of how do I get there.” 33:27 “Don't let being uncomfortable, be the reason you don't make a change.” 34:49 Wanna watch the VIDEO version of this episode and ask Jessica your questions?

0:00 Discover the reasons behind our color rebrand and why it’s happening inside my Facebook Community, Arena of Awesome 2:10 Meet today’s guest, Visibility and Publicity Expert, Michelle Lewis. 2:53 The surprising results from digging into color psychology inside my FB Group 3:22 “I don't think color psychology is focused on enough in our industry. Things are so revolved around us being told to choose the expression of ourselves in our brand, especially with our color and this conversation is to totally contradict that.” 4:05 Michelle’s pre-business life in Hollywood 5:22 The two sides to Hollywood, negativity, and believing the voices around us 7:46 Why and how Michelle stopped listening to the voices outside herself that were dragging her down and shattering the Glass Dome “I believe we've built a dome around ourselves with other people's thoughts, opinions, and negative statements. You really have to have the bravery to break down that dome and build something from the ground up. It's not going to be easy. It's about having the inner confidence to not care anymore what other people have to say or what their opinion of you is because you not only value yourself but your health too much.” 10:20 Working with her hubby and behind the scenes on how they met 11:17 How business owners can embrace color and the psychology behind color to help us stand out and be more visible “I think that color is such an important part, if not one of the most important parts of the visual brand.” “Color psychology is a really powerful strategy so that you can attract the right people.” 12:52 Returning to her film degree background, and natural medicine, and color frequency “What helped me understand color was having a brand that wasn't working and knowing that I had good things to offer. So it had to be something in the branding or in the marketing strategy.” “We have this delusion that our brand color is about us. It's supposed to be about the ideal client.” 14:40 Why Michelle chose blue as her primary brand color and why you may want to as well 16:56 The psychology of yellow (the new primary brand color here at Amplify Your Awesome™) and how Yong’s 14-year old created a mood board to reflect the new colors 19:31 What’s your perfect color?

I don't have to follow the rules. When I break the rules and do things my own way and show up as my goofy, weird self, it's actually better because people get to see the real me” 7:00 How Yong’s self-doubt nearly ended her entrepreneurial dreams “One of my greatest gifts to all of you is to make you look good.” 8:31 About the Arena of Awesome “As business owners, we need to be confident enough to stand in that center stage. In the spotlight, sharing our gifts. Sharing our weirdness, so that people who need us are going to be able to find us when they are looking. It's about that exchange of energy. About knowing that you're putting your best foot forward and that we can move forward together.” 9:47 The explosion of podcasting and why having your own can be a gift for others 10:09 Reasons why Yong loves podcasting “What if you and your business are able to provide the opportunity for other people to binge listen to you to help them move closer to working with you.

It's a powerful tool to get your message out to the masses, especially because it is portable.” 12:50 How Leaving breaking your long content into little nuggets, breadcrumbs [aka repurposing] can help more people discover your awesomeness 13:41 Business owners are literally sitting on a goldmine of content. I'm here, as the Chief Amplifier of Awesomeness, to help you mine for the gold in your content through systems, through automation, through repurposing.” “If we can spin and transform our content into other assets, it gives people diverse ways to learn from us and that’s a win-win in my book for sure.” 15:38 How acres of diamonds are like your content goldmine “You literally are sitting on this goldmine of content. All you need is to create a system and a path for you and your business to mine for that gold in a way that's going to support you and your clients.” 16:24 Why the idea of mining for the gold in your content is so near and dear to Yong “You have this huge mountain of content. It's massive. It's not just one piece, it's your literal body of work in your business. It’s time to mine for the gold that already exists in your content.” 19:00 “For me, 2021 is all about helping YOU mine for the gold in YOUR content.” 20:18 A special gift for you coming on St. Patty’s day and why that day is significant to its release 21:12 “Human Design has impacted my business in really profound ways. In ways I've never considered, like using it to work with my clients.” 21:56 “Human Design helps us understand our innate gifts so that when we're mining for the gold in our content, we can use our strengths to really amplify all of our awesomeness.” 25:09 “Season 5 of the podcast exists to showcase the myriad of ways you can build your business. It’s not about building your business following someone else’s blueprint, following someone else’s path to success. It’s about hearing stories from and being inspired by entrepreneurs across the globe building businesses around everything that makes them awesome.” 26:58 Come over to the Arena of Awesome and tell me how I can support you as you take to center stage to Amplify Your Awesome™!

0:00 Turn up the volume and grab a pen. Today we’re diving into intention, energy, alignment, serendipity, and of course, Human Design. Continue the discussion at www.YongPratt.com/317 2:12 Meet Uma Girish a spiritual mentor for women who are ready to find their life purpose. She helps them to hone in on their dreams so that they can live the next chapter of life with passion, purpose, and joy. 3:23 Celebrating and planning for success in the new year Uma-style Questions to guide you: What do I want to call in this year? Who do I want to be? How do I want to show up? What's the energy with which I'm going to meet this year? 5:00 The wholeness of life. Intention versus goals and why Uma prefers the former 7:11 How to set intentions with the right energy. “The energy of fear drives away the energy that love always draws in.” - Uma Girish 9:50 Shifting energy and the miracles that can happen when you do. “I am not the brilliant coach or mentor who is saying all the wonderful things and giving all the wonderful insights. I'm just being a channel for the divine to come through me to flow through me.” 11:55 “The best thing you can is to get out of your own way and just let that universal energy pour through you.” 13:35 Working hard and struggling with deservingness verus letting go and embracing simple and easy. How do you define alignment and how do you use them. They're your intention. Your energy to get to alignment. 15:03 Alignment through Human Design “When things are flowing, when you feel lit up, when all the doors that you want open up effortlessly, and you get the thing you desire, you know, you're in alignment. You're satisfied, you're lit up, you're having fun, you're enjoying the thing you're doing”. If energy and intention are in place, alignment is a natural result, you can't go wrong.” Uma Girish 18:21 “When we are in alignment, the most amazing synchronicities and serendipities happen.” “Imagination gets a bad rap but imagination is a gift from the divine, to help us live in that space of alignment.” 23:41 Applauding her parents for their encouragement to write, speak, and tell stories 25:06 Encouraging our kids to explore and lean into their gifts Uma Girish 25:55 “I believe a lot in synchronicity and serendipity. I know when something appears three to four times in my life, I'm meant to pay attention to it.” How Uma discovered her Human Design and how it’s helped her to understand her gifts as a Projector [same as Yong]. And letting go of the shame around not being a doer and living into her role as a guide. 29:04 How being a Projector has changed the way Uma works in her business and how she serves others The way Uma now creates her social media content as a role model 35:26 Staying in your own lane and finding your Soul Purpose through Human Design “You are your purpose. You don't have to find it”. “We think if we have someone else’s map we’ll be successful. But we are failing. And the reason we are failing is that someone else’s map is not going to guarantee our success. We have our own map and that's what Human Design shows us.” 39:30 Differentiating between our conditioning versus our human design 42:01 Who are you? What makes you tick? What do you dream about? What are the longings of your heart? How do you want your life to be? You’ll find this and more in Uma’s new program, Meet Your True Self launching in January 2021 44:02 “When you own your life purpose, anything that you invest in you, you are in that seat and cultivating that seed of your purpose. So how can that ever be wrong?” “When you spend money on improving yourself, on expanding your knowledge, on expanding your energy, on learning a new skill, it will always, always, always multiply. It has a multiplier effect and it serves the world. It's not only an investment in yourself, it's an investment in everyone you touch.” 45:35 Connecting with Uma on Planet Internet https://umagirish.com https://www.instagram.com/umamentor/ https://www.facebook.com/umawrites/ 46:30 Uma’s advice on building a business based on the real you: “Everything that you are. Everything that you stand for. Everything that you believe in. Everything that matters to you, is what will impact your business. So you are a reflection of your business. So it's really important to get clear on your values.” 49:11 Come over to today’s show notes and connect with Uma, share your biggest takeaways or favorite Uma-ism at www.YongPratt.com/317 49:54 Next week, you’ll meet Renee Hribar, Yong’s personal sales coach Hosted on Acast.

The first is that you can turn a mess you've had in your life into your message, as my mentor Dean grazioso, he would say, let me give you an example.

More examples of how Yong has used this idea in many ways during her 20+ years as an entrepreneur. [7:36] What specialized knowledge that you have that you could share with someone today? Maybe it's a special gift. Maybe it's a talent, or even a hobby. It could even be something that comes easily to you that people ask you about all ready. Come and share what you could teach at www.yongpratt.com/281 [7:57] Why this miniseries, Recession-proofing your business was created for you [9:04] Come on over to today's show notes at www.yongpratt.com/281 and share your unique gifts and talents. Let's have a conversation about what lights you up and what you could teach to others today. What's calling to you right now? What is it that you could take from inside of yourself and teach others to help them on their journeys? [9:33] Now you know what teaching what you know means and how you can start doing it today, let's dive in to the monetary reasons why you might want to explore this idea. [10:32] What online education stats and trends mean for you and your business. [11:20] Stay tuned in the coming weeks as Yong will be sharing something brand new that will help you to turn what you already know and turn your mess into a message quickly and easily, even if you're starting from scratch.

[0:00] Welcome to this bonus episode of The Amplify your awesome podcast. This episode was really inspired by a lot of conversations that I've had lately, with parents and other entrepreneurs, really getting together to brainstorm ways we can show up and serve at a higher level when people need us most. [0:21] This episode is focused on our kids, and empowering them and equipping them with skills that are really techie, nerdy a little bit, but skills nonetheless that they can start to explore these days, especially because there's an outpouring from the greater community at large, with free access to tools that students can create. [1:18] How do we empower our kids and help them to start telling their own story about what life is like for them as a kid right now? [1:33] What if our kids could start recording their own stories and documenting their reality for future generations? [1:54] Connect with Yong on IG or FB [3:02] Today we’re diving into helping our kiddos discover how to use technology in a positive way, help you out in your current business, or maybe even start to dream up a new business of your own. [5:08] Grab the Alone Together Toolkit - a list of resources for you and your family at www.yongpratt.com/alonetogether [7:56] Be sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get this and other bonus episodes delivered straight to you [8:35] Getting the most out of your content starts with strategy and systems [9:49] The 1x30 Content Formula [10:08] Grab the Alone Together Resources at www.yongpratt.com/alonetogether and get your kiddos started with ideas and skills they can use to help you [11:18] Starting the adventure with your kiddos begins with conversations and finding out what lights them up. [12:35 ] The backstory of how Yong’s daughters got started in her business [14:44] Examples of what Yong’s kiddos have created for her business and others’ [15:18] Since kids are digital natives, it makes sense for us to include them in those parts of our business [15:45] It’s time to raise creators - kids who can think outside the box kids who see opportunities kids who have big dreams. And we can start fostering that right now, at this time. [16:15] Wouldn't it be better if we equipped and empowered them now to start using these [digital] tools, when they have access to them? When you're there to look over their shoulder to make sure they're heading in the right direction? Wouldn't that be better than letting them watch TV mindlessly four hours a day? [17:03] Let's let our kids explore together. Let's let them create and show one another what they've discovered and what they're doing and let them step up to the role of teacher. Because how often do kids get to do that every day, when they can learn a skill, and they can show someone else how to do it, their mastery of that skill increases exponentially. And that's the best learning there is. [18:21] Let’s continue this conversation at www.yongpratt.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

[0:03] Have you ever been scrolling through your newsfeed on Facebook or Instagram, and suddenly, you see an image that grabs you and stops your scroll?

Grab your copy today at yongpratt.com/bundle. [1:30] And now let's dive into today's topic. In case you missed the previous five parts of this series, all about Multiplying Your Message - taking one great piece of content and multiplying it into many many different forms - I encourage you to go back and take a listen. And more importantly, take action. [1:56] Remember that imperfect action is a far better than perfect in action. [2:03] I'll link up the rest of the series including all the bonus episodes, over on the show notes page that will be available after the show goes live at yongpratt.com/221. [2:19] Back when I was running my Performing Arts School, we had a need to create graphics faster and more cost-effective than we could get them done locally. As much as I love to support and encourage local businesses, it's not always possible when you're starting or scaling a business, especially on a tight budget. [2:43] I invested in a tool that you probably heard of before - Photoshop. More accurately, I bought the version that was the scaled-down version called Elements. [2:54] The free tool I'll share it a bit just wasn't available back then. [2:58] I'd spend hours and hours watching tutorial video after tutorial video to do what I thought would be a 'simple' task. Even though the program was scaled back, it was still so big and it really bogged down my Mac, which made tasks even longer. [3:21] Can you relate to that? [3:23] Have you ever purchased a piece of software because of what it could create for you only to discover that the learning curve was far longer and far greater than you anticipated? [3:38] Well, fast forward a couple years ago, and I was introduced to a free tool online called Canva. And again, I'll link up this tool over on the show notes at yongpratt.com/221. [3:53] Once you create your free account, you can be designing immediately. What's great about this tool is that it comes with thousands of templates and images that you can use right out of the box by just putting your brand colors, and your logo and your own pictures on them. The templates come formatted for all sizes of images you might want to create across social media: maybe you want to create flyers, something for your website, and much more. [4:26] Did I mention this is a free tool? Totally crazy, right? [4:31] I do happen to use the paid version of Canva Pro, so I can get more access to images and layouts. And I can change the sizes of the images a little faster, so I can use them across social media. But to get started, just grab the free version. [4:51] Once you've logged in, all you have to do is click on a template you like in the size that you need, and add one of the quotes you pulled from your transcript. From there, you can download it and use it right away. Even today. [5:09] If you pulled three or four quotes or more from your transcript, you can create three or four different images. You can choose to use three different templates, or use the same template with different colors, or fonts that represent your brand. That's it. Easy peasy. [5:27] When it comes to choosing your colors and your fonts, think simple. Remember, on the podcast were all about simplifying. And when we think about graphics, we want to be more simple because simple often resonates with people a little more than complicated. [5:45] If you think back to the images that you scroll past in your newsfeed, it could be for a number of reasons. Maybe the message didn't resonate with you. Maybe the image was confusing. The text didn't match the image. Or maybe the image itself is just too busy. [6:04] I know that I often see graphics that are really, really busy. They have tons and tons of colors, making the font really hard to read. And the worst offender that I see personally, is that I see graphics with really beautiful font. However, it's a little too scripty to read and decipher. [6:25] So if I'm not able to really share my message quickly, people are likely going to scroll past that image. We do not want them scrolling past these quote images, especially if they are quotes directly from you or from your guests. [6:42] We want them to stop then learn a little more about what we do. So here's the bottom line. Here are your action steps for this episode. [6:53] Are you ready? [6:55] Grab a pen and paper if you don't have one yet or open up the Notes app on your phone. Here they are. [7:01] Step number one, sign up for a free Canva account today. [7:06] Step number two, copy and paste the quotes from your transcripts into a template on Canva or multiple if you have multiple [quotes]. [7:17] Step number three, post your graphic to social media. And if you're on Instagram, post your graphic there and tag me @theYongPratt so I can celebrate what it is that you have competed. [7:34] That's it. Once you've done that, just start paying more attention to what catches your eye on social and then go to Canva and create something similar. [7:46] Here me on this one. I am not advocating that you copy and in fact, I will tell you not to copy someone else's work because having had that happened to me multiple times, it just is really grating and we want to make anyone else grumpy with us. There's no reason for that. [8:04] What I'm saying is be inspired by what they created and go create something similar. Just be sure to add your own personal flair and a message that speaks to your audience. [8:16] Now this week, I do have a bonus episode coming up for you on Thursday with Nicole Thompson. Nicole is a 28-year graphic design pro and she's going to share more tips and tricks to help you create those scroll -stopping graphics in no time. [8:34] Before you head out on your day, I want you to ditch the mom guilt and the stress that often accompanies summertime, especially when it comes to raising your kiddos along with your business. Be sure to grab my 21 work-LESS stress-LESSand guilt-LESS strategies over at yongpratt.com/bundle. [9:00] And that my friends is a wrap on this episode. I look forward to catching up with you on the next one. Cheers Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
[0:01] Today on episode 220 of the In A Weekend Podcast, we're going to talk about how to Multiply Your Message by creating Audiograms. [0:13] Thank you for tuning in today to this episode. My name is Yong Pratt, your host and the Chief Dreamer of the In a Weekend Series of Classes where we help you to simplify, to automate, and to leverage the often hidden assets (like your kiddos) inside your business quickly. [0:37] This is part five of a series called Multiply Your Mesage. If you haven't listened to the previous episodes, I highly recommend you head back and do so. I'll link all of those episodes up on the show notes for today's podcast at YongPratt.com/220. [1:01] Let's start at the top. [1:03] What the heck is an audio gram? [1:08] An audiogram is simply a little mini video clip. In that video, you'll see a still image. On top of that still image, you will have a little wav form or a little bar that moves up and down to show you that a video is playing. It can also include the transcripts or the text that we created on a previous episode. All of that happens in one singular little video clip, and they are awesome. [1:44] You've likely seen these across social media, where a podcaster, for instance, would have a still image of the cover art of their podcast. On top of that, the waveform moves up and down as you play the audio [2:00] There could be text on the bottom of the video as a transcript as well. So whether people learn auditorilly, whether they learn visually, or whether they learn best by looking at words on the screen, you've hit three of those different learning modalities with one little video clip. [2:22] Did I say those were good or what? [2:25] To create these, I've been testing out a piece of software that I absolutely adore. It is literally one of my favorite pieces of software that I use every single day. And by using it, I actually replaced a full time virtual assistant, saving me tons of money, as well as time. [2:47] I first introduced this tool back on episode number 214. On today's show notes, you can definitely be linked directly to this piece of software called Repurpose . And it does exactly what the name implies it repurposes your content. [3:06] Of course in my world, when I refer to repurposing, it's all about Multiplying Your Message - turning that one singular piece of content in to multiple. With Repurpose , one of the many, many, many things it can do for you automatically, without you touching anything is to create these audiograms for you. [3:32] Now when you go to the show notes for today's page, I will put some examples on the page for you so you can see what is created with Repurpose . [3:42] I want you to do something for me today, I want you to click on the Repurpose icon that I'll have on the [shownotes] page and go get yourself a free two-week trial of the software. And trust me you will not be disappointed. If you choose is to invest in this tool, which is a mere $20 a month, which is literally what...maybe four fancy coffees a month 20 bucks. You can use this software in your business every day. [4:13] When you choose to invest in it, message me on Facebook, or on Instagram and let me know because when you use my link to purchase this ongoing membership, you can I will actually send you some video content to help you get started quickly and easily using Repurpose because once you get in there into the software, you're totally going to be hooked and that $20 a month will be the best $20 a month you will ever spend. [4:50] Next time on the podcast, we're going to talk about how to turn your message into another form. And that is through images. [5:02] We're going to talk about how to turn your text in to some beautiful images. And we'll have a special guest next week as well who may know a thing or two about creating beautiful graphics for you to share across social media as well as everywhere else. [5:24] Okay, my friends, go and check out Repurpose . Get your 14 day free trial just had to yong pratt.com/220 and start Repurposing to Multiply Your Message today.

[0:12] Now that you've turned your video into audio for your podcast, and you've learned about turning that audio into a transcript to be used in multiple different ways, what else can we do with that text? [0:28] Well today here on episode number 219 of the In a Weekend Podcast, we're going to talk about turning text into quotes. [0:39] Are you ready to dive in? [0:42] If you're new around here, my name is Yong Pratt. I'm the Creator of the In a Weekend Series of classes where we help people just like you to simplify, to automate, and to leverage the often hidden assets in your business quickly and easily. [1:02] One of the most often overlooked assets, inside, any business are kids - in your family or your neighbors kids. [1:12] Kids can definitely play a really critical role in helping you leverage your business in a big way. And you can be a mentor to them and show them the possibilities that exist for them now in this digital age. [1:28] Today we're talking about turning that transcript that we created back in episode, 216, and pulling out some quotes. [1:39] Why would we do this? [1:41] Well, being able to quote yourself and to quote your guests really differentiates you in the marketplace. I'm sure that you've seen lots of quotes in your social media feeds, and they're often attributed to really famous people - whether they're authors or speakers or luminaries. they're attributed to other people. [2:03] Being able to quote yourself and your guests, really elevates you to a different level. And it demonstrates that you have interesting things to say and people should pay attention to you. [2:16] Am I right? [2:18] You're all creating amazing content for your businesses and in this series all about Multiplying Your Message, we're really talking about ways you can use one piece of content in different capacities, so that you can really reach people on different levels. [2:36] We started the series with creating a video. [2:39] We turned that video into audio to use on things like your podcast. [2:43] We turned your audio into a transcript, which you can use in many different ways, including closed captioning on your videos as well as a blog, and a book. [2:56] Now today, we're talking about really just taking a few moments, going through those transcripts, and pulling out quotes. [3:06] Now if this is not something that you actively want to do, this is something your kiddos can absolutely do it for you. [3:13] In fact, both of my daughters do this for me in my business, as well as doing it for other people in theirs. They're going through their transcripts, cleaning them up to use on websites and they're also cleaning them up and pulling out interesting tidbits. These quotes or quotable pieces of content can be used in multiple different ways. [3:40] Let me give you some practical examples. [3:43] You can go through and pull up quotes from yourself or your guests and you can post them as text posts across social media. [3:51] You can also put them in places like your email signature so every time someone gets an email from you, they see an interesting quote from you or a guest the how on your show. [4:03] You can put them on your website as kind of call out or stand out text to really give people a sense of what you have to offer, and how much you have to offer. [4:15] Pulling out these text quotes has so many ways that you can use them inside of your business. [4:21] I cannot wait to see how you're going to using your quotes. [4:26] I'd love for you to post your quotes over on Instagram and then tag me @theyongpratt so I can see the quotes that you and your guests are creating and sharing with the world. [4:41] So the takeaway today is: [4:43] Number one. We've taken one singular piece of content and turned it into two multiple. Today's idea of pulling out quotes is one of those ways to multiply your own message. [4:57] Number two: This is a really quick and easy tip that your kids can absolutely help you in creating. Empower them by showing them how to use some of this technology. [5:10] I will link up all of the previous episodes in the Multiply Your Message series on the show notes for today's post over at YongPratt.com/219 so you can learn about all of the tools that I use to create these many pieces of content. [5:32] Stay tuned for next week's episode where we're going to dive into turning your text into an audiogram - a cool graphic video. A little mini clip of those quotes that you can share on social media. [5:50] I look forward to catching you all next week. Cheers, my friends. Ready to Multiply YOUR Message?

Amplify Your Awesome™ with Yong Pratt
[0:05] Hello everyone, and welcome to this live Q&A session all about podcasting. If you have ever considered podcasting for yourself, for your business, or with your family and just weren't sure where to start, definitely pop your questions down below. [0:28] I'm Yong Pratt, I'm the host of the In A Weekend Podcast and the Creator of the In A Weekend Series of classes where we help you to simplify, to automate, and to leverage the assets that are often hidden in your business. And this is a live recording of our podcast, answering all the questions that I've received lately about podcasting. [1:00] Now last week we hosted a workshop, all about the Top Three Podcasting Myths and we BUSTED them. If you'd like to take a look at that free training, I will pop the link down below once I finish up this live broadcast. I will tell you though the website you can go to is yongpratt.com/myths. You can get instant access to the Encore of that workshop replay just by leaving your name and your email address and you can watch that video in your own time. I do want to say, though, that the video is only going to be available until tomorrow, until Thursday. So if you're curious about those myths definitely pop over there and get that instant access to watch the replay if you have ever considered podcasting. [2:02] Now as you are joining live, I would love for you to let me know where you're tuning in from today. And if you are on the replay, go ahead and pop #replay down in the comments. And since I will be doing all of this live, if I miss your question on the live, definitely pop them down below under the comments of this video and I will personally come back and answer all of those for you. [2:34] Okay, my friends, are you ready to dive in? [2:39] This is a question that I've gotten a lot lately and I think because more people are becoming aware of podcasts, and there's lots more to be enjoyed out in the world and tons more platforms on which we can listen to podcasts, the popularity is definitely on the rise. [2:59] It's definitely kind of the Golden Age of podcasts where listenership is on the rise, the number of shows is also on the rise. NOW is definitely the best time to start. Of course yesterday would have been better, however, there's no time like the present to get started sharing your message with the world. [3:23] Okay, question number one that I received via email was: How do I choose a topic? [3:30] And this is a really big question I'm asked all the time - choosing a topic for a podcast. If you head to a place like iTunes or even to Spotify these days or to Pandora, there are tons of different shows available about pretty much everything under the sun. [3:51] If you're in the health and wellness space there are certainly tons of podcasts in that space. If you're in the business space, in the parenting space, or maybe you have a smaller kind of niche. It's all available via podcast. Because people are always on the go these days, a podcast is really one of the best tools that we can all have as marketers. [4:16] Yep, I said it, we're all marketers. You're a business owner, you're a parent, you're doing a lot of different things out in the world, but at our core we all need to be able to market our message and really share what it is that we want to get across to people, whether those people are the people that we serve as our clients. Maybe they're our students. Maybe they're our own kids. Maybe if we're still working at nine to five, it's our bosses or our superiors that we need to be able to market and position ourselves in the right way to help us move down the path that we are desiring at that point. [4:57] So choosing a topic. How do you do that? [5:00] Well, I want you to pull out a pen and piece of paper or if you're listening on the phone on your phone, go ahead and maybe open up the notes, tab, so you can jot down a few things. [5:25] The first question is: What do people ask you all the time? [5:32] Everyone, it doesn't really matter what we do in our lives, there are likely questions people always ask us about something that comes easily to us. And what happens to most of us is that we discount those things because they are easy. And over the past couple of weeks we've been really diving into this idea of Multiplying Your Message and how it doesn't have to be so hard. [5:59] So in the coming weeks, just know I have lots of information for you on this idea of easy. We love to help people, simplify things in their lives and businesses are often over complicated. So, the word easy is sometimes a four letter word for lots of people, myself included. [6:23] When I first learned some of these easy ways to do things, it felt like I was cheating because I have learned in life and watch my parents work really hard to provide for the family who put in a lot of effort for usually a small amount of pay on the other side. [6:42] They worked really hard, and the idea of working hard and putting a lot of effort to get the result that I want was sort of an ingrained thing so trust me when I say, simplifying is definitely the way to go about things because when things are simple, they're easy to understand, and it's easier for us to get our message out into the world. [7:06] So that's number one. What do people ask you all the time, including the things that come easily to you? [7:15] For example, people ask me a lot about podcasting. People ask me also about including my kids in a business because that's something that my girls do with me. I train them on many, many different skills in order for them to be able to do that. And I'm also asked: [7:36] How can I possibly get out so much information in such with such a short span of time? What they're really asking is, why are they seeing me everywhere across social and in their feeds, no matter where they are, they're seeing it. They want to know about that idea of multiplying. [7:57] So for me, those are topics that I now talk about on this podcast and on this page, so we can really kind of flip the switch, and do things in a more simplistic and easy way to get them done more joyfully. [8:14] So again, thinking about what are questions people ask you all the time. Go ahead and write some of those down on your piece of paper or if you're in your car or out walking when you're listening to this podcast, definitely make a mental note to come back and answer these questions, because it can really help you to determine the things you may want to podcast about when you launch your own show. [8:42] Question number two and this goes back to the EASY thing - what things are easy for me to do? [8:51] Am I able to break complicated complex things down in an easy way and share that with people, maybe that comes easily to you - go ahead and write that down. Are you able to create relationships quickly and easily? Are you able to help your kids really be empowered in easy way? [9:27] Question number three you could ask yourself is: What do I dream about? [9:34] We're all gifted with the ability to dream really big and really think of ways that can impact others and change people's lives or make the world a better place. We all have that within us, and sometimes those dreams can feel really big, and really scary. I get it, it's totally common nature. And when we are thinking about those, sometimes we often hold ourselves back from moving into those dreams because they feel too big, they feel too daunting they feel too scary. [10:12] Just a little bit of tough love here that if things feel a little bit scary and you're feeling trepidation about them, that's likely the next step you need to make to grow your circle of comfort. If you stay inside your comfort zone, kind of everything revolves around here as soon as you start pushing that comfort zone bigger and bigger and bigger, where you start stepping outside of that comfort zone. Those are the times in your life that things really start to happen. The momentum starts to grow and things really start moving towards those big dreams. So, your dreams and the vision you have for your life or other people's lives, or making the world a better place - those more grandiose things are absolutely topics you can talk about on your podcast. [11:00] So those are three questions you can really ask yourself when you are considering topics for your podcast. [11:10] And I'll just put in one more as well just kind of as a bonus, and that's: What do you love to do? [11:18] Outside of work, perhaps you have hobbies and things that you enjoy doing in your spare time that you'd love to share with others, or let them know about because it's so much fun. That can definitely also be a topic or topics for your podcast. Since we're on this topic, let's kind of talk about the question that I get a lot about. [11:43] Does my podcast, have to be related to my business? [11:46] This is kind of a hard question to answer directly so I'll just say, maybe. A podcast is a platform for people to get to know, like, and trust us from afar. We get to guide them along this journey that we're taking. And when we do that, people often will come in at different points, and really come to understand what it is we're trying to do. [11:51] So maybe if you have a hobby, it could be related to your business but it doesn't have to be. Because again, if you think about podcast, as being a place where you can send people to get to know, like, and trust you, you can definitely send them to your podcast, to share about the things that you love. [12:31] So there you have it - there are some ways to help you choose a topic for your podcast. If YOU have a topic that you're really, really excited about, I want to know about it. Put it in the comments down below whether here on Facebook, or over on our website, yongpratt.com/218. I will comment back to you personally, and we can even have a conversation about the topic that you want to podcast about because I'm here to the tell you all that YOU all have something in your life right now - in your experiences, in the stories that you've had throughout your life - there is something that can benefit someone else, and that's definitely one of the top reasons why you would want to even podcast - To help other people who are going through something you've been able to overcome, a challenge you've been able to overcome in a positive manner. Or maybe you share about the bumps in the road that you've had. We all have this message within us that would help other people. [12:31] When I first started my podcast way back in 2013, that's the reason I wanted a podcast. I was passionate about, kids, and learning and really, I was feeling so badly for these kids who are in a school system and they're getting labeled incorrectly because they can't take the test properly. They're not doing well in school because they just don't test well and it was breaking my heart to hear these stories over and over and over again. [14:04] I took a passion that I learned about in graduate school and I put it together on this podcast. I started sharing with my own community, in my own local area, in my performing arts school, and quickly that that topic was one that was picked up by people literally across the world, which I wasn't even aware, there was an audience for that. So when you start from your passions and the things you love and the things you want other people to know about that can benefit them, that's a really great reason to start a podcast. [14:46] One of the next questions is: What equipment do I need to start my podcast? [14:54] Well, my friends, I'm here to say that podcasting doesn't need to be as hard as some people make it. There are lots of different experts in this area of podcasting and we all kind of have our own different unique experience on it. Mine is about simplicity and taking fast action. So when I first started talking to my students I talked about using a device that you probably right now have sitting next to you, or it's in your back pocket or near you, in some capacity and that is this. [15:33] This smartphone that allows us to waste a lot of time. Some days on just scrolling through social media mindlessly looking at other people's stuff, is the same tool that we all have access to that we can start sharing our message via a podcast or via video like this, with the world. [15:57] Inside of Podcast in a Weekend, something that I really advocate, is starting with video. When you start with video, you can start to Multiply Your Message, in a really simplistic way using some cool automation tools. We start with live video or even pre-recorded video and then we learn to transform it into, audio, which of course is the way that we listened to a podcast it's an audio program. And then from there we can really Quantum Leap our message and really start to multiply what we're offering to the world, in many, many different forms. [16:42] If this is a new concept to you, definitely make sure you head back to the podcast and listen to some previous episode where we talked about the idea of Multiplying Your Message and how it can be done faster and easier than you thought possible. [16:58] Most of it can even be automated these days which is so cool. Inside of Podcas In A Weekend, it's something that I help my students to discover that when they Multiply Their Message and turn ONE great piece of content like a video into an audio, they can automatically reach more people because there are different people who are listening to those different platforms. [17:24] Some people like video content. Other people prefer audio content. Maybe other people prefer text. Those are all things that you can create from single video and we cover that in great detail inside of Podcast in a Weekend. It's the portion of the class that most of my students, stop and say, Wow! I had no idea I could do that. And when they implement these tools and strategies with their podcast, they can actually create more content in less time, starting with one thing, every week. [18:00] It seems totally backwards, I know. That is just the feedback I get from my students because they are thrilled to know that podcasting doesn't have to be one more thing. You're going to do something like a video probably for your business already, so why not turn that into another format, and you can do it all with this device, your smartphone. I would just recommend that you use the use of a microphone or at least the headphone microphone that came with your phone to record, so you can cut out some of that background noise that happens when we're out in public or in different places. [18:47] Now, and I want to talk about number three people say they want to podcast they asked: Why do I want to podcast Now? In the beginning of this episode, we talked about the number of podcasts are increasing, the number of listeners are increasing, and it's kind of really the golden age of getting into podcasting. And of course, again yesterday was a better view starting today, however, start where you are and move forward. [19:16] Start by picking up your device. Start by popping those headphone microphones in to your device and start sharing your story.That's really as simple as podcasting is. [19:30] And there's lots of ways you can then take that audio even and turn it into all sorts of different formats to really Multiply Your Message. [19:40] Here's what I'm going to recommend. I recommend that you head over to YongPratt.com/myths and get instant access to last week's workshop. It's the Encore presentation of that workshop. Tune in to find out what the top three myths of podcasting are and if you are claiming any of those in your life as reasons to not podcast because it's time for the world to hear your message! It's time for the world to hear your message in all sorts of different formats, because we're able to take one piece of content and turn it into multiple. [20:23] Before I hopped on this live, I actually pulled a card. Not a tarot card. It's this deck of cards called Secrets of the Millionaire Mind card by T Harv Eker. It's an interesting one because it's all about how to cultivate a Millionaire Mind, and the card that I pulled was, "Focus on contribution." [20:49] On the back it says, your life isn't just about you. If you want to be rich in the truest sense of the word, you must contribute to other people's lives. And that my friends is exactly what a podcast enables you to do quickly and easily. [21:12] I want to thank you so much for tuning into this live Q&A. If you do have more questions, pop them down below this video here on Facebook or over on our website, yongpratt.com/218 so I can make sure to get your questions about podcasting, answered. [21:29] If you're ready to launch your podcast type ME in the comments below, and I'll let you know how we can make that happen in as little as a weekend. [21:43] Alright, my friends, I hope that was helpful for you. Definitely go take a listen to that free training I have for you at YongPratt.com/myths. Pop your questions down below, and then let me know if you are ready to start to Multiply Your Message with your very own podcast. [22:02] I will catch you all next time. Cheers. Hosted on Acast.

On this podcast, we help you to simplify, to automate, and to leverage the often hidden assets inside your life and business quickly. [0:28]Today's bonus episode is a story for you. Before I dive into the story, though, I want to make sure that you can get access to our workshop that we did last week, all about the Top 3 Podcasting Myths and you better believe we busted those bad boys, because, more than anything, the top three reasons I share on the workshop, stop more with the podcasters in their tracks than any others that I've heard. [1:02] You can get instant access to the Encore presentation, just by heading over to YongPratt.com/myths. Are you have to do is enter your name and email address, and you can watch the replay when it's convenient for you. And trust me, this is by far the most popular workshop we have done it to date. [1:29] I have been getting a ton of comments and questions all about these myths because people were definitely buying into these, and it's stopped them from podcasting which is such a shame because you and I both know that you, my friend, have a message to share. You've gone through experiences, hardships, and challenges. You've overcome them and now can help people on their journey into whatever that thing is. [2:03] Literally, I'm here to tell you that there is a podcast about every topic under the sun and yours is no exception. It is absolutely time for you to get your podcast out into the world and I want you to start by going to watch the instant replay of the Encore at YongPratt.com/myths. That's M-Y-T-H-S. You can just leave your name and email and get an instant access to that workshop. [2:35] Okay, so let's dive in to his story. Now this is a little bit of a spoiler alert...But one thing that stops, more people from podcasting than any other that I hear again and again and again and again. Well, you get it. [2:55] It's time. [2:57] So many people tell me they don't have time to podcast. They don't have enough hours in the day as it is. So adding one more thing to their growing to do list, seems like the impossible dream. [3:14] Then if they can get past that thought, their next thought goes right to my gosh, how much more time, is this going to take me? How much more do I have to sacrifice time with my kids and my family and my friends in order to make this thing happen? [3:34] Well, my friends, I'm here to tell you that podcasting, doesn't have to be as time consuming, as you may think... [3:42] And today's success story comes from Nicole Thompson. Nicole is host of the Build Your Wealth Podcast. She was in my very first season of Podcast, in a Weekend. If you don't know about Podcast in a Weekend, it's literally a class for you walk you step-by-step to setting up and launching your podcast in as little as a weekend. [4:11] Now when you watch the replay of the workshop, you'll hear more about it and what is included. I wish someone had created this class for me, way back when I started podcasting because it took me forever. Yes, I did find an expert in the area, and go to a class but it still took a very long time to launch. [4:35] And that's one of my biggest frustrations as a business owner and as a busy mom - time definitely was a factor for me until I figured out some of the cool ninja tools, and hacks that I teach my students, inside of Podcast in a Weekend to make it super simple. To make it super fast. And to make it super easy to launch your podcast. [5:04] Now this is totally going to blow you away...Nicole actually reached out to me in four hours. That's right. Four hours into this weekend class, she reached out and said, I finished. I just submitted my podcast to all the major platforms and I'm done. Now, I get to go record more episodes! [5:28] Well, you can just imagine my shock because I was thinking this was going to take them the entire weekend long. And I had a ton of students complete it in that time. She was the first one, though, to reach out and said, four hours. In less than half a day, I launched my podcast. Now I'm not going to make you wait any longer. Here is Nicole's story: [5:50] My name is Nicole Thompson. I'm the host of the Build Your Wealth Podcast. Having my own podcast has been something that I've envisioned doing for several years now. But every time I try to research it, it seemed very overwhelming and confusing. [6:07] Podcast in a Weekend has by far been the absolute best online class that I have ever taken. Yong's teaching method is clear and precise. Each video tutorial is super short and packs a huge punch with easy to follow step-by-step instructions that produce a win win every single one. [6:29] The course is called Podcast in a Weekend, but I was able to take it from start to finish in less than one day, and by the end of that day, I had a live podcast. Podcast in a Weekend took a rather intimidating topic, and made it so super simple that a grade schooler could follow the steps to creating your own podcast. [6:55] If you ever considered having your own podcast, but you get lost in the tech of it, you need to take Podcast in a Weekend. You'll be a podcaster in the blink of an eye. [7:07] Oh my goodness!!! What do you think about that? Being able to get in, take some massive action and get your podcast done in less than a day. That is absolutely what is possible for you inside of Podcast in a Weekend. And if you want more details about that, go watch the replay over at YongPratt.com/myths and then reach out to me for any more questions. I hope you are as inspired as I am that YOU can create a podcast in as little as a weekend. I'll catch you on the next episode. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
[0:03 Now that you've turned your video content into audio content, what else can you do with that content? [0:11] Well today we're going to dive in to the third piece of our five part framework to talk about how and why you want to turn your video and audio in to text. [0:25 ]Are you ready to dive in? [0:28] Welcome to the In A Weekend Podcast where we help you Simplify, Automate, and Leverage the often hidden assets (like your kids) in your business. I'm your host, Yong Pratt, and I am thrilled you are tuning in today. [0:46] If you happened to miss any of the previous episode where we talked about audio and video, you definitely want to go back and listen to get a full picture of all the steps that we go through for all of our content. [1:03] If you haven't already grabbed our free five part framework, you can do so on today's show notes at yongpratt.com/216 . [1:16] Today we're going to talk about text, and three ways you can use text that you get from your audio and video content. [1:28] The three reasons, you want to turn your audio or video into text are: [1:35] Closed captioning; Creating blog posts; and Creating a book. [1:43] Now if that doesn't get you excited, I don't know what will because the idea of taking one piece of content and multiplying it and not really doing any more work is super exciting! When I first learned about repurposing and multiplying my message, I honestly felt like I was cheating because it was so easy once I found the right tools, and the right mentors. [2:12] I had this vision that business and everything that was worth accomplishing needed to be really hard, and had to be a struggle. But once I discovered this idea of multiplying and really transforming one thing into many, my life changed completely. My business change completely. And now I get to spend more time doing the things that I love like being here on the podcast with you. [2:38] A lot of what happens to multiply the message we have here is done automatically. Now if you want to know what tools I'm using, you can definitely go back and listen to the podcast that come before this, and I will link them up in the show notes, so you can take them right there, take some notes and dive into some of these tools that we use every single day. [3:05] Why text? I've shared that there are three reasons why you want to transform your video and audio into text, and we're going to start with number one: Closed captioning. [3:18] Did you know that up to 70% of people watch their videos with the sound off? [3:26] I know. I was totally blown away when I saw that stat because I like to listen to the person on the video. However, these days, a lot of people are watching videos at work, which I don't advocate by the way, or they're watching them at night when their family is in bed. They don't want to disrupt that portion of their day or their other family members, so they're listening now with the volume off. [3:56] So say someone comes to your video and there's no captions. People may actually click away because they want to read what you have to say. [4:11] I think most of us are missing out on the opportunity to reach more people and make a bigger impact because we are actually not using captions on our videos. [4:24] Now if you are a fan of Facebook Live, like I am, this step can actually be done for you by Facebook. [4:33] When you go to edit your video after you've recorded it, you can actually turn on the closed captioning. I do have to say that for me because I speak quickly, the captions are sometimes quite comical because what Facebook thinks I said is not really what I said so I have to go in there and do a bit of cleanup. [4:56] For that reason, I actually choose to use another tool which is absolutely free. One of my new favorite tools, and I'm going to share with you at the end of this podcast, how you can get your hands on this tool because it has really changed the way that I view transcriptions, and how I can now use my text with the least effort on my part after that. [5:22] So that's number one. You want to be able to transform your video or audio into text to create those closed captions, which can go on your videos on Facebook and on YouTube. [5:36] Number two: Once you have your transcription you have a closed caption. You can actually go through and do a little bit of light editing on that text and turn it into a blog post. Now I know lots of people tell me they want to start a blog, but they're not good writers, they don't have time. I've been blogging this way for quite some time now, and it has really, really tightened up the amount of time that I'm spending blogging. [6:07] I do of course, spend some time on other blog posts that are not video connected. However, a lot of our blog posts on our website are actually the cleaned up transcriptions with some punctuation and put into beautiful paragraphs. So it looks like a blog post. [6:28] All right. Number three. The third way you can use the text, the transcription from your videos and audios, is to compile them all into a book. [6:42] Did you catch that? A book. [6:45] Now when I first thought about writing a book I had this vision in my head about sitting at my desk and spending hours and hours, staring at a blank screen with the cursor flashing and mocking me the whole time. And today when I think about writing a book, it's about how can I make a video and transcribe it? And then once it's transcribed, I can actually put a book together pretty quick. [7:14] Now this was the exact process that I just went through a couple weeks ago I was in Dallas, at his #bizbesties retreat. I had the opportunity to do three talks, or three presentations. All of those have since been transcribed. Two of them are actually the basis for my second book. Now there is still some editing and organizing of the book to do, but literally, I spoke, my book into existence. [7:46] That my friends is exciting! Starting with one piece of content (a video or audio), transcribing it, using it for closed captions, using it for a blog post, and creating a book out of one thing that is totally mind blowing! [8:04] I hope you are as excited as I am about all the things you can do by spending time on this great piece of content each week, and then Multiplying Your Message, by listening to this podcast and taking action on the steps. [8:25] Tomorrow, I'm hosting a free live workshop, all about the Top 3 Myths, I hear from would-be podcasters that prevent them from starting. Well, we are going to bust through these myths and show you how you can overcome them in this live workshop.
