HOLLY NELSON INTERVIEW: START-UP CONSULTANT, ENTREPRENEUR & PHILANTHROPIST

I first crossed paths with Holly Nelson through pageantry. That's not to say I was entered in a pageant (God forbid), but Holly had won a title and one of my other businesses is focussed on interviewing pageant queens. As is often the case, I found the person much more interesting than the title and was surprised to find that Holly and I shared a lot in common when it came to business, specifically working for ourselves and looking to help others do the same. Fast forward some six months later and Holly has been helping me work on several of my businesses as well as the launch of two books which we'll be releasing later on in 2019. Holly is one amazingly strong, creative and insightful individual who also has a heart of gold. I highly recommend getting in touch with her no matter the size, stage or focus of your business. * 4:07 Interview start * 5:45 How Holly helps businesses * 7:41 The importance of being able to pivot * 9:16 From the solopreneur up to the small business * 11:03 How to avoid getting in your own head * 12:24 Who is Holly Nelson behind the scenes? * 14:21 How to get in touch with Holly * 15:15 Ten questions with Holly Nelson CONTACT HOLLY https://www.hnmarketing.co/ [https://www.hnmarketing.co/] @hollyjnelson on social FOLLOW US https://thef2fproject.com/ [https://thef2fproject.com/] https://anchor.fm/thef2fproject [https://anchor.fm/thef2fproject] https://www.facebook.com/thef2fproject/ [https://www.facebook.com/thef2fproject/] https://www.instagram.com/thef2fproject/ [https://www.instagram.com/thef2fproject/] If you enjoyed this interview, make sure to SUBSCRIBE for more!

[POD] How to create and implement a Social Media Calendar

In this episode I'm talking to Holly about social media calendars, both in terms of how to create them AND how to implement them (both parts are equally important). I am FAR from perfect in this area, but if there's one thing I would advise you to do it's to START... ANY structure is better than no structure. And if you're someone who values their freedom (like me) and feels like a schedule cages them in, get over your crazy and bite the bullet anyway, otherwise your content creation will be completely inconsistent, dooming your business to fail before it starts. TIMESTAMPS 4:57 Why do so many people struggle to implement social media calendars? 9:40 Where do you start when you're overwhelmed? 11:09 Where's a good place to start with scheduling? 14:05 REPURPOSE your content to win 19:10 Which platforms should you hit?

[POD] Self-publish your way to success

In this episode Holly interviews ME (wow that's a first) about how I went about self-publishing my first book 'From Fear to Freedom' back in late 2017. We were lucky enough to have that book reach the #1 spot on Amazon both here in Australia and the US, and whilst I would by no means consider myself an expert, the fact is that getting published in the first place probably puts me ahead of 99% of the game. Reaching that number one spot is no doubt an added bonus.

KORYNN MORRISON INTERVIEW: VISUAL ARTIST & DIRECTOR

Korynn Morrison is vivacious, outspoken, determined and a coffee addict - most of which are qualities I don't normally associate with artists. I initially met Korynn when helping her to create a video for an art exhibition she was participating in. She immediately grabbed me as being on point, enthusiastic, professional and very business-minded... again things that I don't normally associate with artistic people, not just artists. A lot of people are the artistic/creative type and struggle with how to implement that in the business world. If that's you then I encourage you to follow Korynn's example as someone who approaches her art as a profession - in the studio 530am each day every day. Don't let being female get in your way and don't use artistic integrity (no matter what field you're artistic in) be an excuse. You'll see that Korynn certainly doesn't. TIMESTAMPS 0:48 Korynn the artist 4:58 Dealing with criticism 7:10 Getting 'a proper job' and the importance of passion 12:10 On being a female in the art world 13:45 The artistic process 15:45 Problems with the education system 19:57 The importance of quiet 22:37 Art vs coffee and meditation 28:55 Contacting Korynn 29:28 The final ten questions CONTACT KORYNN https://www.facebook.com/artistoexist/ [https://www.facebook.com/artistoexist/] https://www.instagram.com/artistoexist/ [https://www.instagram.com/artistoexist/] http://www.artistoexist.com/ [http://www.artistoexist.com/] FOLLOW US https://thef2fproject.com/ [https://thef2fproject.com/] https://anchor.fm/thef2fproject [https://anchor.fm/thef2fproject] https://www.facebook.com/thef2fproject/ [https://www.facebook.com/thef2fproject/] https://www.instagram.com/thef2fproject/ [https://www.instagram.com/thef2fproject/] If you enjoyed this interview, please subscribe and leave a comment - it really helps us out.
