Takeaways:~ Learning about how Generative AI works in an easy-to-understand format~ A few tools and strategies to get started~ A process for keeping things simpleMy favorite nuggets: ~ Listening is the most overlooked strategy for creating content that attracts your best clients. Listen everywhere to figure out where you fit into the landscape. You've got to figure out where. you fit so you can create content that is specific to someONE. When you simply create content for the goal of creating content and without speaking to that ONE, you are wasting your time - talking to NO one. That's not good for your confidence.~ YOU already have the answers. Understand what the work is that you're called to do. What do your ideal clients need? Do they even KNOW what they need? You might just need to make it clear to them that YOU know and HAVE what they need.~ Remember - You're not looking for thousands of eyes at this point. You only really need to get 10-20 clients this year to get your footing. {Sigh of Relief here}~ Generative AI can help you build content, social posts, presentations, talking points - but YOU will need to make sure that you find the ways to connect on the HUMAN level.~ Teach AI your voice. Let AI repurpose your own content first. Ask it to turn some of your own content int X social posts or ask it to 'polish this piece up'. ~ Use AI to help you write an outline for a blog article or a series of articles.~ It's your PROMPTING that is what drives the tool. You'll need to learn how to ask it better questions and how to refine the answer you generate. ~ Knowing what you want is the most important part of the prompt.__________________

As heart-driven entrepreneurs, now, more than ever, we need to find ways that we can continue to 'show up" (that's marketing, my friend) with consistency and generosity for those who we can support. It does no one any good to keep yourself a secret by avoiding marketing.
Alas, the struggle is real.
How can we create authentic, valuable content that spotlights our zone of genius without spending hours and hours coming up with the words?
We are all learning about the many aspects that AI (artificial intelligence) has to offer - when used correctly.
RJ Redden has been an early adopter of AI and is supporting heart-driven entrepreneurs to make the best use of AI to quickly create content (blogs, social media, email, etc) that speaks to their unique voice and supports their visibility for client attraction.
Here are some of the key takeaways from today's spotlight:
~~ What is your individual thumbprint? Embrace the difference. It helps you stand out
~~ If you have a business online....using other people's tools that are using AI is becoming commonplace. (I have already seen it on my most-used tools, Constant Contact, Honeybook, and....even on Gmail)
~~ ** Spend your energy and attention on things that matter. (serving clients fully)
~~ AI can help you create content that resonates and is memorable and connects with your audience.
~~ If it's not memorable - DON'T post/send. Stand Out!

On this episode of Rise Above Noise, I get to discuss the importance of showing up authentically on social media platforms and maintaining relationships that matter. Kevin Strauss is an emotional health and innovation consultant. We focus on how human connections are key for improving business. Kevin shares his background and knowledge on emotional health, and how his app Uchi can help nurture authentic connections.
We get into it as we discuss the interconnectedness of wellness and the importance of finding purpose in life. Kevin shares his tips for using Uchi for improving relationships.
Key Takeaways:
How to Reduce Noise and Focus on What Really Matters:
"There is so much noise out there and trying to reduce all that noise. Like when you open your computer and it's all the social media and blasting everywhere...trying to just calm some of that noise and get a little more focused on what really matters to you and your goals in life." - This is a great reminder to reevaluate how much noise we let in and to focus on what truly matters.
The Importance of Balanced Wellness:
"Balanced wellness is like the four tires on a car. You've got to nurture all four physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. And when all those tires are inflated in your car and everyone around you, you are just cruising down the highway."
The Benefits of Using Uchi for Building Strong Relationships:
" It doesn't take long, but you got to keep it going. So just use Uchi. It's free. Have fun. It's safe and private. Have fun."
------------------------------------------
NOW - more than ever, our world needs transformation creators, like you, to show up - fully, authentically, and unapologetically as yourself.
Showing up = Marketing.
It's really all about Showing UP.
I know frustrating it can be to feel helpless when you are trying to bring your services and products out into the world.
That's why I help you create the structure and templates in your marketing to make sure you feel empowered to Show Up!
The secret sauce is that we work together to create your personal journey so you show up with ease and flow.
Coaches, consultants, and energy workers, who want calm and control, lean on me as their marketing guide.
I guide my clients and students to fall in love with 'showing up' for those they are meant to serve.
With a personalized, clear pathway, they attract more clients.
Their business grows with flow and ease.

When we SHOW UP - honestly, truly, as ourselves - the energy shifts.
Now - more than ever - our world needs transformation creators to show up - to guide others - to help create the shift we all need.
(pssst: showing up = marketing)
In today's Rise Above Noise episode, Susan Finn and Heather Maguire discuss using Energy Experiments to help your ease and flow in your business growth.
Energy experiments are an intentional shift in the way you think about and relate to the challenges in your life. They invite you to detach and observe a situation instead of reacting to or avoiding it.
When you do, you become more mindful, resourceful, and very often surprising new opportunities materialize.
Your Takeaways
1. How to think about the challenges in your business as places for experimentation
2. How to observe the results of your experimentation
3. How experimenting opens your awareness to new understanding and new possibilities
🤓 Susan's Favorite Nuggets:
~ "If it was possible that I know enough now, what would I do?"
~ Out of judgment and into possibility
~ Put VALUE to your INTUITION
~ Facts and reason can be external, stay within... Look for the "Knowing" as value....trust your own guidance.

After getting her MBA in Accounting - and finally figuring out what she wanted to be when she grew up, Julia started her profitability and bookkeeping firm to help businesses never fail due to cash flow!

Business owners only get one shot and there is very little room for financial mistakes.
Julia LoranEstes takes the guesswork out.
In today's spotlight, Julia helps us recognize that our business is "Our Baby".
