Yesterday morning, I was on a call with one of my masterminds and someone asked a question about SEO. I jumped at the chance to recommend RankIQ as a tool I used for SEO keyword research. I’ve talked about why I love it before, but I have to give you a real-life example of how a blog post turned me into a customer the same day. My son and I are starting a vending machine business. I just bought my first one… but it’s in Ohio and I’m in Florida. So, I searched something like “how to ship a vending machine from Ohio to Florida” and stumbled across a blog post with a call to action form to get a quote. Fast forward a day—the contract was signed and nearly $1,000 was paid. All because of a blog post I found on the internet. I don’t know sh*t about technical SEO, but writing for SEO—I freaking love it! If you want to do this for your site, don’t sleep on RankIQ. Have we met yet?If you’re new here, and we haven’t met yet, I just re-introduced myself on LinkedIn. Click here to read it. Speaking of LinkedIn, I also posted a story about when I had my eye on the anchor desk when I worked as a reporter in Fort Myers. On my weekends off, I’d come into the station to practice anchoring and get feedback from my assistant news director. I never anchored there because, according to him, my voice was too high to sound “credible”. Looking back, I realize how sexist that was—telling a woman she needed to sound more like a man to be “believable.” But, I digress.

I snagged a ticket to Shine Away. After checking out the speakers, I spotted the author of a book on my TBR pile, First Lie Wins. Read it. Loved it. After a weekend with crazy successful women, I’m off to try my luck at getting called to “Come on Down” at The Price is Right (for the third time). My online coursesI don’t talk about my two online courses much. I haven’t launched either in at least a year… but I’m paying $1,500 a year to host them on Teachable. Not smart, right?! Well, I recently canceled that subscription and am moving everything over to Teachery for, get this… $500 total. Forever.

I’m off to Ohio this weekend to be in my sister’s wedding. Technically, I’m the matron of honor, but I reject that title on principle. “Matron” sounds old, and no one wants to be anybody’s maid. So I’m calling myself the best woman. Equal rights, etc. Also, I’m the minister. Which means it took me about two minutes and $35 to become legally qualified to marry them, so please wish me luck. Feels like a system with a little too much trust in me, but here we are. In other news, I was having a...
If you were anywhere near Bookstagram this week, you probably saw the drama. A major Bookstagrammer posted that some of the books she used to love are no longer books she supports because of her “biblical convictions.” Just one slide from what I'm calling religious psychosis And listen, people can change their minds. People can evolve and decide something is not for them anymore. But that is not why people got upset. What made everyone collectively go, girl... what? was the way it felt like...
A year and a half ago, I bought a vending machine off Facebook Marketplace and dropped it into our local community center because, apparently, I like turning random ideas into family businesses. At first, Landon was ALL in. Every week, he was ready to check inventory, restock snacks, and count the money. (Very CEO energy for a fourth grader.) Now? The novelty has worn off just a little. He is significantly less thrilled about weekly vending machine maintenance, which honestly feels like a...
