Hey there — happy Saturday! 😄
Welcome to The Weekend Whirlwind. As a reminder, TWW is a quick weekend email with a few thoughts or articles or tips to help you out. Or just stuff to share, which may not even be business related. Short, sweet, and to the point. 😉
THINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND’S WHIRLWIND:
THING 0 — First off, I can’t let the day go by without recognizing the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence here in the U.S. 🍾 250 years is a big freakin’ deal. Yes, our country is still very very young compared to so much of the rest of the world…but it’s still very cool. 🥳 🎉 If you’re celebrating today (or all weekend), have fun, stay cool, and stay safe. 🙌🏻
THING 1 — Helpful link: Need help with organizing all those business ideas that are buzzing in your brain? This blog post has some tips.
THING 2 — Random fun fact: The word “velociraptor” comes from the Latin words “velox,” which means swift, and “raptor,” which means robber. Literally – swift robber or speedy thief! The name was officially given to this dinosaur by paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1924. It describes how the dinosaur hunted and ate its prey.
THING 3 — TWW Quick Tip: Wanting to post more consistently on social media, without having that take up all your time? Try posting less often, but scheduling a few weeks ahead. You can take an hour or two over a few days to batch your efforts, depending on how many platforms you’re posting on.
THING(S) 4:
~ Partner Freebie of the week: from Sage Grayson, get her Never Leave ’em Hanging Workshop.
~ Partner Deal of the week: from Amanda Craven, get her It’s Not the List for around $7.
~ My Flash Sale for the weekend: get my Digital Papers Mini Packs for 30% off through Monday night.
THING 5 — TWW Break Time Idea: Everyone needs and deserves a break from work and chores and all the go go go hoopla. One idea (well, two): Take a few hours to catch up on your favorite TV show you’ve been putting off watching, or start a book you’ve been meaning to read (a fun one, not a business one!). A rest will do you good. 😊
That’s it for this time — let me know what you think, and have a great weekend! 😎
