Well sh-t. can't win! I just spent a week in the hospital (again!). No one could reach me so my dad sent my brother over and I was a mess on the floor, between my bed and my dress, broken glass, cuts and bruises and lumps everywhere. Poor guy, this was the second time he's found me like this. Paramedics came and of course, the first thing they run is a tox screen, no alcohol, weed, pills, nothing in my system. They could tell how long I had been there because the cuts were scabbing over and there is a protein in your blood called ck, it comes when a person is badly bruised and hurt. Anyway the normal range is 200 - 300 and I was over 40,000. So a miserable week later, I'm home. DAMN, now my back surgeries are put off. Once again, a big thank you to my VA, he's keeping the ship going. More testing, we don't know what is causing this. HOWEVER, it's up up and away again............AAAAAAAND getting geared up for the holidays!!! Hope all of you are good! I still root for each and every one of you in this particular group, you've been with me (like it or not) through some of my "stuff". ONE of these days, I may even have something of interest and useful to post, I just keep getting knock down a bit! Down but never out.

For years I told myself I wasn’t ready to create an online course. I didn’t have the skills. I didn’t have the audience. I didn’t know how to sell. I didn’t have anything unique or special to say. My list of reasons to not create a course was long and—I know now—meaningless. While I was waiting to build better skills and grow an audience and learn to sell and create a unique process, other, less-skilled entrepreneurs were making bank. I finally got over myself and discovered a few things about what it really means to be “ready” to create an online course. Let’s talk about it in this episode of the Tiny Course Empire Podcast. Prefer a transcript? Here you go! What you’ll learn in this episode: - The critical business piece to have in place before you launch your course (and it has nothing to do with your logo or website). - How to know if your course idea is “good enough” (spoiler: it is). - Why you need to stop letting your competitors make decisions about your business future. - How to uplevel your skills so you can launch pro-level video courses. https://cindybidar.com/podcast/yes-youre-ready-to-create-an-online-course/?utm_campaign=list-building&utm_medium=verbal-mention&utm_source=podcast

Hi guys, this is a pretty short post to remember you how much important it is to have a backup plan ready for anything in life. What will you do if you lose your job because your company closes? What do you do if your credit card issuer blocks your card? What you do if you lose your house key? What do you do if hackers delete or put viruses on your blog content? What if your country goes bankrupt and you lose all the money in your country? In short, prepare for the worst. Many times, I found myself in a critical situation. But luckily, I always had a backup plan. Study something to keep ready, put money outside your country in a safe bank, take an online bank account you keep for backup, leave your key without a tag to someone you know, and so on. Did you know that keeping all your money in a single country is a crazy thing, for example? I learned it a few years ago. So take some time and write down your thoughts, and decide a backup plan. Then remember to activate it.
