bonny, what about "...the things you don't want to talk about...but need to know"?

Ugh, I burned my boob pretty badly by spilling hot soup on my chest. Slept clutching freezer packs and this morning it's not as painful but has some blistering. I put on Lush Ultra Balm and a large bandaid over the blistery part to protect it from popping before it finishes healing.

Wah.

That's good Amy! I spend so much time thinking that people would be so much happier if they just knew a few things about themselves.

The frustrating thing about this exploration is that I don't know how to answer the question "Why should I come see you?" People struggle with old patterns and beliefs that make them miserable. I can help them overcome them quite quickly.

"Hey! You are miserable. I can help you achieve a state of mind that you can't even imagine right now" doesn't really work.

Crockpot Christmas Crack.

bonny, what about "...the things you don't want to talk about...but need to know"?

Along those lines, my suggestion is "...but still need to talk about."

Ouchies, Nora! Heal quickly!

IOworkN, I just got voluntold (thanks whoever came up with that word, sorry I cannot remember which spicy brain it came from) to accompany one of the individuals to Hooters for his birthday. For weeks he had been saying he wanted to go to a strip club, but his dad suggested Hooters for dinner instead. Good thinking, dad, cuz a strip club would be even more more awkward for the women who work the PM shift to pull off. Somebody else has a funeral to go to this week, can't I do that instead?

Andi, do you mean, "The web show about the things you still need to talk about"?

I have a confession. This marketing language is the thing that stops me every time I have an idea for how to move forward. Honestly, it is the thing that has blocked my success for the last 13 years.

It makes me want to curl up in a ball.

I've never gotten it right.

I have so much to do...I'm teetering on the ragged edge of disaster right now, on several levels...and THIS is what keeps me from...well, everything.

I'd love to put a cheerful face on it...but just don't have one.

Sorry bonny, I mean the whole "web show where we talk about the things you just don't want to talk about...but still need to."

ETA: The marketing language is something that can be easily enough out-sourced - if not for free here in the B.org hivemind then it is worth investing the money in the fees. Which I know is tough for you, because you operate on a shoestring budget, but perhaps there is a way to crowdfund it, or offer work in trade for the marketing expertise you need.

I just reached out to someone from the March who markets for a living. It seems rather brash, considering we haven't seen each other in umpty years, but I'm feeling desperate.

I truly do not have the money to pay right now, which is the incredibly exasperating thing about this whole thing.

Without the resources to reach farther, I can't make enough money to reach farther. "Can't make money without money."

Argh.

In the less whiny portion of the program, I figured out how to add 'lower thirds' to my videos...those scrolling text boxes you see at the bottom of a news screen, for instance. And I have a snappy new 'outro' that is clean and cool.

I'm actually pretty proud of my mastery...heh, no really, ::stumbling acquisition::...of the tech stuff.
