This post showcases the pre-launch re-launch series of nine episodes of the MIX/SIZZLE & SHAKE YOUR BUSINESS Podcast on the way to reach 100 shows! These nine extraordinary episodes lead to a milestone of 100 shows published using my old buddy and friend, the anchor.fm app.

Not only will the show hit a big milestone, but the kickoff of this website is a longtime project now coming to life, so I’m so pleased you’re here! Thank you.

I’m going to string this post together as the shows publish using a Table of Contents (see below) but, for now, I’m starting with Show Notes and resources from the first three published podcasts already in circulation. Then, I’ll keep updating this post for you as the last six podcasts release. I hope you enjoy this post, the shows, the new website, and the new direction the show is taking as it plows into the future of everything business and content!

#1- Just Keep Doing Like My Mom

SHOW NOTES:

Sometimes you have to make a comeback in your business, or your life. In this first revival episode of nine, I’m not afraid to love, praise, highlight, and get vulnerable enough to say aloud that sometimes things are hard.

Sometimes unforeseen matters interrupt your flow but, in the end, you need to pick yourself up and keep doing. Keep doing and moving and trying. Keep going forward. When you are staying in motion, good things happen. This lesson my mother taught me, and it reminds me of how I will never be as fantastic as my mom. And, how I look up to her in every aspect of life.

Listen in and hear a little more about the incomparable Jan Wetzel and her recent honors with Re/Max and in the local community as well. She’s a worker and a fighter and the kindest person in the world. My mom is a businesswoman to aspire to and a best friend in my life. Lucky me.

In this episode, there’s also a business lesson, and a reminder to make choices for your life and business that allow you to spend your time doing what you want to do.

Finally, this episode spills some secrets including upcoming interviews with Sharon Hurley Hall and Lisa Sicard, so you better stay tuned!!

#2- Get Set for Social Sharing & Engagement Plus an Intro to Twitter for Business

SHOW NOTES:

Working as a mentor in the Biz of Writing learning group developed by the ultra-smart Sharon Hurley Hall is the inspiration for this second re-launch episode’s discussion. You see, jumping into social media is scary and there’re things you may want to consider and get set before the actual plunge. Or, if you’re already swimming in social, these may be hints for improvements or things you overlooked. I don’t know. It seems if people are just starting out, these are good things to know or to put in place for better results.

I feel like there are some pre-requisites for using social media and many I didn’t know at first. So, that’s why I scribbled down an outline to offer to Sharon’s group before providing the meat of the “Twitter for Business” topic. But, it turns out these Steps (see below) are pretty meaty so they seem worth sharing on the podcast.

4 First Steps to a Better Social Path

Social Share Buttons

Be sure to use social share buttons on your website. You can start with a free plugin and move to the premium version as you’re ready. Plus, make sure to offer click-to-tweet options to make sharing to Twitter inviting and smooth, even if you aren’t on Twitter.
