On this episode I talk about:

Social Media Etiquette and Facebook Rants
Train People How To Treat You
Email Revelations: What You Don’t Know Could Probably Get You Into Trouble
Ask Rodney – Send in your questions, comments and ideas

Recently I ran across a Facebook post of a prominent author and lifestyle business coach who published a post that personally I found a little off putting. In essence it was a heated post related to how people approach them via email to ask for favors, support, what have you.

I’m not begrudging this persons frustration but I was a little taken aback by their choice to take it to Facebook for support, validation or commiseration of their point. My immediate thought was, “why not take advantage of this opportunity to teach us (your fan base) how to approach you instead of creating a heated debate?

The reality is this, it’s not easy to run a business, especially one that places us in the spotlight. But as you grow and experience more success – the public will respond in kind. Often with requests that you have the option to either accommodate or not. It’s your choice!

This week I decided to bring back something I used to do when I originally launched the Get Paid For Your Creativity podcast, Q & A days.

Originally I thought I’d offer them on Wednesday’s (that was when I was planning to do a five day a week show) but now with a once a week show I’ve decided to offer them when I have either enough questions being sent it by listeners like yourselves or once a month, whichever comes first.

So if you want me anything about your business, even one you’re thinking about starting, marketing tips, life challenges you’re facing personally, professionally, send them in and I’ll do my best to answer them on future episodes.

If you had to create a visual representation of your journey as a creative entrepreneur what it be? Would it be a comedy? Maybe a drama or a horror movie? Or would it be an action adventure or perhaps even a sci-fi flick?

Whatever it is YOU and you alone are the writer, director and camera person of your life movie! Unfortunately the problem many of us as entrepreneurs face is not always feeling in control of our experiences, or least our responses to them and as a result many of us fall into the “less than desirable” movie genres.

On today’s podcast it’s my intention to inspire you to take control back by providing you with some fun – and I think pretty cool tools designed to shift your focus and reignite your passion not only towards creating not only a business, but a lifestyle that you truly love.
