Change Your Perspective – Change Your Life
T.S. Eliot very famously said that “April is the cruelest month.” But I disagree. I think September is the cruelest month - yet also a month with the most promise. The days after Labor Day feel like a slow, sad good-bye: to summer, to long hot days and warm nights, to...

Happy September! We're back into book launch season after a minimal "slow down", launching just five books in June, July, and August. Since we didn't really get a break this summer, I'm looking forward to taking a few days off next week before we jump into our autumn...
Scenes From A Hat
In a popular comedy show, the improvisational (improv) performers are challenged with acting out a scene to the best of their ability, on the spot (i.e. “at the drop of a hat”). If you think about it, life can sometimes feel like a series of improv skits. Not just...
Getting Traction for a New Blog Site
There's no quick fix that I've found to create fast traction for a blog site. Most of the successful bloggers I know have been consistently blogging and promoting their blogs for years; we've never seen anyone achieve overnight success in blogging. Take this list...
Featured on Friday: Links for Your Weekend Reading!
From time to time on these Friday posts, I like to share a collection of online articles from the last month that I think you might like. This time I decided to get a few of my Weaving Influence co-workers involved in sharing some of their favorite links. A big thanks...
My Piece of Peace
During my recent trip to the USA, my husband and I took a drive to visit Becky and the other local team members in their fabulous new space in Lambertville, Michigan. Besides meeting with team members face-to-face (they are just as amazing and talented in person as in...

The Weaving Influence team isn't huge. We're growing - to be sure - but we still number in the double digits as a whole. However, for such a small team, there are a surprising number of us who have a personal interest in adoption. It's not something we planned, but as...
Why You Should Tap Into Trending Conversations on Social Media
Are you doing everything right on social but still experiencing slow growth? You’re not alone. Organic growth, which means attracting fans and followers through non-paid avenues, can be a slow process. It takes time and consistent effort to build a tribe on social...

In the spring of 2012, I met a woman on Twitter named Becky Robinson. It was a tale of entrepreneur meets soon-to-be out-of-work English-major-turned-pharmacy-tech, and before I knew what was happening, I was in Becky's email account, reaching out to Barnes &...
Focusing on Focus
Two years ago, I left my job to study in Israel where I still live today. Since moving, I have worked in a high-caliber sales position, served as a counselor for a summer program, and performed other odd jobs. I have enjoyed being active, doing different things,...

Whatever happened to the "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer"? Crazy, yes, but lazy and hazy, not so much! With 19 book launches on the schedule this year (so far), we haven't experienced our normal summer slow-down, and there's always another task on the to do list...
The Flaw of Relationship Building on Social Platforms
Building online influence through amassing connections on social media platforms (alone) is a flawed plan. I've often compared relating to people on social media platforms to meeting friends in a coffee shop or bar. When you go to a coffee shop, you can meet someone...
