Lights, Camera… now what? You don’t need all that stuff but there is nothing wrong with tszujing up the equipment on occasion. It's important to remember though that you are the main attraction, not any of the extra fancy things around you. Having a good background is definitely important for looking aspirational, but that doesn't mean you need to think so hard about it that you can't focus on your message. Fancy equipment can be fun! It can make videos look really nice. It goes back to my 80/20 rule, see post here, about using the upscale things 20% of the time but the other 80% being as natural as possible in your video and photo production. KNOW your equipment

How do you balance your brand imaging? It isn't always 50/50. Who doesn't love easy math? This equation only has three parts: 80, 20 and YOU. When it comes to your online photos, 80 percent of the time you want to bring the every day you. The other 20 percent, feel free to tszuj it up! The most important part of the equation is you. You bringing yourself to the table. Whether it's an everyday look or all Glam and Glitter - we still should see you every time. That's who we're here for! Let's chat, do that super easy math with me! Don't be scared of showing your regular style, but don't be scared of the higher billed

Do you wonder why you’re not getting noticed online? This could be the reason... As fun as it is to do big brand fancy photo shoots, this isn’t the best way to represent yourself. Why? Because people aren’t connecting with you as a REAL person! People relate to real people, and if you’re posting the same picture all over the place people zone out! We get exhausted from seeing the same photo over and over again. Or the same three photos, for that matter. But if they’re all from the *same* photo shoot they all start to look alike and people don’t see it anymore. The worst part? They don’t see YOU! WATCH to see how to avoid your photos

Getting Real, Being Authentic On Camera is NOT Just For Celebrities, You Can Master It Too! It seems so counterintuitive but knowing how to be authentic on camera when what seems so natural gets too complicated is a top issue that many entrepreneurs face. It makes total sense. Because as an entrepreneur, coach, author, or any independent contractor who is the face of your brand, you probably never went to acting class nor modeling school. But now, being in front of the camera is a critical part of your job and monetary success. That is, if you are really serious about getting your message out there. I made this live video for you to share some helpful tips to feel

Spoiler Alert: When it comes to connecting with your audience... you gotta be REAL! We've all done it, or at least entertained the idea. Thinking we need to do this, add that, hire them to grow our personal brand. Before you know it, you are out a ton and a half of money, spinning your wheels and ending up with a personal brand that's no longer very personal. And content that seems not even close to you and your voice. The more you hire out to the "experts" to build your brand, the more you lose a big piece of yourself. You end up doing everything you think you should do, hiring everyone you think you should hire... and it's

If you ever wonder how to take a great photo that you can use on social media, video thumbnails and set ups, your web site, your book cover... basically anything, then this post is definitely for you. It can get overwhelming, if not a dent to your ego, when you try to take a photo and end up looking not so hot. One thing I learned on 15 years on photoshoots is that many models and celebrities are not as spectacular as you would imagine, they just know how to turn it on for the camera so they can look great in photos. As an entrepreneur, someone who is the face of your business, or even wanting to be a

Finding your "Big Why" is typically the first step in your marketing and starting up your business as it's those very reasons that will keep you going when things get complicated. Knowing the "why" makes perfect sense to set the path to share your message (your "what") with the kind of audience you want to attract (your "who"). But what so many business coaches and entrepreneurs greatly overlook is YOUR BIG WHERE. In today's visual world where authenticity trumps staged and make-believe settings. So where you actually take your photos or shoot your videos really matters when you want to connect with your tribe as a legitimate, trustworthy, and down-to-earth (albeit aspirational) authority in your field. That's exactly why I

Be in the moment when you are posting content on the go. It’s been a busy, fun filled week! Im out in California heading out to Sequoia national park. But since we’re in the car, I wanted to jump in with a great social media tip to help you in building a stronger connection with your peeps. A lot of us have the tendency to take on a ton of extra stuff in our businesses… And I know from experience that it’s so easy to make excuses that you need to buy equipment, fancy tech, or other gear to do things “the right” way… But it’s not always true. And it can definitely hold you back when posting on social

How to be authentic when filming for social media. In the digital world, we connect with what seems authentic and real. So when you create images and videos for your tribe, you have to set yourself up properly. HOW DO YOU DO THAT EFFECTIVELY? A good rule of thumb is to have about 80% of your images be DIY to amplify your personal connection to your audience. Take the time to plan out your own photoshoots and videos and don’t worry if it’s not perfect. People relate to what’s authentic and real - like when you’re doing your own live videos, The shot is very spontaneous You hold your own camera You set yourself up, your own hair and makeup
