This weekend, allow yourself to focus on one thing

This weekend, allow yourself to focus on one thing at a time. Let that carry over to your work week. ⁠
⁠
I know many of us, myself included, have a tendency to need to do ALL the things. Whether this is at home, in your business or in life...try focusing on one thing at a time. Focus on one aspect of your business and really crush it!⁠
⁠
This weekend if your focus is rest...do it and do it well!

Tomorrow is National Unplug day, but I'm posting a

Tomorrow is National Unplug day, but I'm posting about it today, so I can unplug and encourage YOU to unplug tomorrow! ⁠
⁠
I know I'm guilty of spending too much time online, whether on my computer or my phone. Last week, we took a day to head to the snow and since there wasn't great coverage, I put my phone in airplane mode. It was amazing! I didn't have the urge to look at emails or mindlessly scroll. ⁠
⁠
Secret...I didn't miss anything! ⁠
⁠
Do yourself a favor and unplug tomorrow as much as possible. ⁠
⁠
Who's going to join me?

Have you ever taken yourself on a business retreat

Have you ever taken yourself on a business retreat? ⁠
⁠
I'm not talking about a conference or something with your team, I'm talking about a day or two just for yourself...the CEO of your business. ⁠
⁠
Freelancer writer and host of the Deliberate Freelancer podcast, Melanie Padgett Powers recently dedicated a podcast episode on her solo business retreat and tweeted about it...that's when I knew I needed to chat with her.⁠
⁠
We are chatting about how we can all plan them for ourselves and how you'll be able to create space and time for your own solo business retreat, along with the questions you should ask yourself during this time.⁠
⁠
I'm always up for some quiet alone time, but this is dedicated time to reflect on your business and how to make it even better! ⁠
⁠
Do you take solo business retreats?

About a month ago, I started implementing social m

About a month ago, I started implementing social media free Sundays, thanks to the inspiration of my friend @notyourfatherslawyer who has been practicing this for a lot longer. ⁠
⁠
Yes, you are seeing a post from me on a Sunday, BUT I scheduled it. I'm not scrolling through my phone today. Instead, I'm spending time with my family, catching up on my book reading, taking a long walk, cooking a big Sunday meal, enjoying a glass (or 2) of wine and being fully present. ⁠
⁠
When I first tried this, it felt amazing and honestly, I was ready to do it everyday, but we know that's not "good for the algorithm." I have been scrolling less lately though and find that it lightens who I am and my intentions.⁠
⁠
If you find I'm quieter lately here on the 'gram, that's why...I'm just giving myself space for living life intentionally and present.

I was sharing my career story the other day with s

I was sharing my career story the other day with someone and when I was done, she said that she loved that the career I have now wasn't forced and that must be why I love it so much. ⁠
⁠
I had never thought about it that way.⁠
⁠
I had an 18 year corporate aviation career and went full-time after college because it provided me with a salary and benefits. I didn't have to look elsewhere. I continued to make money, get paid to move around to new cities, travel the country...⁠
⁠
When given the opportunity to do something new, I tried different things.⁠
⁠
I now recognize that one of the big reasons so many of us experience burnout and are unfulfilled from our jobs is because we feel forced to do them, but when presented with the opportunity, we are able to chase our dreams and find something we love.⁠
⁠
If you could do anything for work, what would it be?

I get so busy creating content and posts that sometimes I just forget that maybe I should post about who I am!⁠
⁠
🙋🏻‍♀️ Hey there! I'm Michelle! I'm the CEO + Founder of The MSL Collective and host of the My Simplified Life podcast. I am THE Podcast Matchmaker and my specialty is in creating connections between guests and hosts that create amazing interviews in which listeners benefit from. I am also a publicist and have landed clients in places like @cosmopolitan, @thrive, @associatedpressnow, @parade.media, @bustle, and more...and some big ones that haven't gone live yet! ⁠
⁠
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I'm married to Ted and we've been together for 14 years this year. I'm a stepmom of 2 adults (that makes me feel old!) and mom to 2 tiny humans who are Irish twins (12 months apart!⁠).
⁠
🛩 I had an 18 year career in corporate aviation where I sold jet fuel to corporate flight departments. I started in aviation while in college at @ucsantabarbara and got to meet all kinds of celebrities, CEOs, athletes, and more. ⁠
⁠
🌎 My goal is to change the world by letting others know that they aren't alone no matter what is going on in their life. By working with people who are openly sharing their stories, I'm able to do that through the interviews and features I am getting for them, which more than lights me up! ⁠
⁠
💫 Take a moment and introduce yourself!

@businesschicks founder @emmaisaacs is a powerhous

@businesschicks founder @emmaisaacs is a powerhouse of energy! I read Emma's book, Winging It and fell in love with her right away! ⁠
⁠
Emma has a unique career journey and she shares not only how networking has played an important role in her life, but her best advice for when you are just starting a business.⁠
⁠
I have a lot of favorites from our conversation and Emma's book, but two that really hit home for me were...⁠
⁠
To sit on your hands...don't always volunteer or say yes to everything!⁠
⁠
Stop asking for everyone's opinion. Wing it! Listen to your gut!⁠
⁠
I'm also giving away a copy of Winging It to a lucky listener, so tune in to the end of the episode to find out how you could win it! ⁠
⁠
There are few people who are as genuine as Emma is and she has a team of incredibly kind people working with her. I look forward to getting to meet Emma in person!

✍️ Pitch Tip⁠ 🎙⁠ ⁠ 👉 It's all abou

✍️ Pitch Tip⁠ 🎙⁠
⁠
👉 It's all about the follow up! 👈⁠
⁠
I know we all want everything to happen quickly, especially when trying to land an interview or press, but more often than not, things don't happen on the first pitch. ⁠
⁠
Follow up is KEY! ⁠
⁠
The art of the follow up is not only key to landing press but it has to do with the way you follow up as well. ⁠
⁠
I like to give a bit of room between my pitch and follow ups...at least one to three weeks. I am also polite in my message and my last follow up always informs the recipient that this is the last time I'll be reaching out. ⁠
⁠
Lately, I've been receiving follow ups from one podcast pitching company in which the follow up contains one word. A random one word follow up that makes no sense at all. ⁠
⁠
It infuriates me. Why? Because not only is it taking up space in my inbox but there is an actual human being who is paying for this $hit.⁠
⁠
One of the emails said, "Bing!". ⁠
⁠
Maybe this is their way of trying to bump their own message up in my inbox, but this isn't a Facebook group. ⁠
⁠
Remember to follow up, don't get discouraged and write something more authentic than a single word that makes no sense at all!⁠
⁠
Have you received these kinds of follow ups? Are you making sure you send follow ups?
