Two weeks in the past we attended the Problogger convention right here on the Gold Coast. So did 700 different folks – principally girls! It’s undoubtedly my favorite convention. Not solely do I get to hang around with a cool bunch of journey bloggers, but additionally join with different bloggers and entrepreneurs throughout all kinds of niches from enterprise teaching, to vogue and meals bloggers.

I all the time acquire a lot by new concepts, collaborations, new friendships and galvanizing audio system. The convention all the time has a excessive constructive power vibe and full credit score goes to Darren Rowse and his workforce for doing an distinctive job of making an expertise that has extraordinary worth with consideration to every attendees wants.

The Problogger convention is sort of a high-quality wine – every year it tastes higher and higher.

We missed final yr as we had been chasing crocs in Kakadu. We had been completely happy to return, and myself as a speaker! It was my first Problogger solo session, and I cherished it.

I love to do a wrap-up publish with the issues I realized probably the most and the most important themes I discovered weaved by every speaker’s shows. Hopefully, you may take some nuggets away to use to your private and enterprise life.

1. Pay it ahead with kindness

This was an enormous theme of the convention that ran by many speaker’s shows, together with my very own. Sadly, there’s plenty of hate on the market on this planet, and as Heather Armstrong from Dooce.com shared, it may be on the vilest ranges. We cop it, though not as incessantly or severely, as Dooce. It’s scary what number of loopy, unhealthy, depressing folks there are.

As Dooce reminded us,

It’s merely a mirrored image of the deep ache and unhappiness that lies inside them. Attain out to them with compassion.

It’s not simple to do, however will soften the hate power.

I additionally suggest that you simply use the cruelty and judgement you obtain as motivation and gas to develop into a greater human being after which do your finest to beat the hate by spreading like to others. It’s the one approach I do know to cope with it.

Ruth Soukup additionally spoke in her presentation that paying it ahead was one of many 5 peculiar habits of extraordinary bloggers. I utterly agree. It’s a giant a part of what we do.

We frequently help charities, plus I’ve a non-public mentorship group, and our first spherical of the Cash Cleanse was a pay what you need. I intend to proceed to do all I can to assist make the LOVE voice heard!

I met so many kind-hearted folks on the convention. I’m so grateful for all of the constructive phrases and smiles given to me, and I LOVE how this convention has such a form communal spirit.

2. Be a glow stick and shine

Jadah shared this quote on the finish of her keynote, which everybody cherished!

Be susceptible. Share your story and join together with your readers. Allow them to know you perceive and are right here to assist. Don’t be afraid to shine the reality of who you’re.

Don’t be afraid to interrupt. You’ll many instances on the street to your goals. Use that because the gas wanted to shine!

(It was so superior to fulfill Jadah. We’ve adopted Easy Inexperienced Smoothies for a few years. We even did their 21 day cleanse whereas travelling!! We made 10 days, which I assumed was nice as doing a cleanse whereas on the street is extraordinarily difficult. I take advantage of their recipes nonetheless on a regular basis! I speak about my morning tonic tea being a part of my each day ritual on this publish. It’s from the cleanse!)

three. Don’t concern failure

As Jadah Sellner from Easy Inexperienced Smoothies stated,

Put it out and let the world determine.

Brandon Cowan, the younger Geek and Director of Loopy Canine Apps, modified his life round from medicine and alcohol and highschool drop out to serving to pets in animal shelters and making a distinction. He says,

Embrace failure as a result of embracing dangerous concepts may end up in an ideal final result.

And we shared our fave quote from Michael Jordan

I really feel like I fail brilliantly on a each day stage. However, I’m okay with it as I do know I can’t get to the success with out it.

four. Take care of your internal world too

Okay so maybe we weren’t doing an ideal job of this at 2 am with our espresso martini and humorous conversations. However, what’s a Problogger with no little social gathering! In Darren’s keynote, he spoke concerning the significance of taking care of your health- bodily and psychological.

I frequently share with you the way my meditation and each day habits routine saves my sanity and retains me centered.

I additionally shared that C.A.N.I – Fixed and By no means Ending Enchancment is one approach to apply leverage to your small business. Work on your self and be taught new expertise to continue to grow!

A perception I really like and I typically share in my Cash Cleanse is

Embrace this as an empowering assertion, not one to upset you. You may simply develop into that particular person. Discover who has what you need and emulate how they suppose and act.

5. Delete the Fugly

I cherished this time period from Jadah. She was speaking about deleting the ugly photographs out of your Instagram feed (which I’ve now achieved.) However, I believe we are able to relate it to plenty of different issues.

Know your technique. Know what your group wants and connects to. Delete all the things else – Together with those that don’t belong in your group and do their finest to tear it down. Don’t be afraid to begin once more and as Darren says, “Pivot”,

Stick with your zone of excellence – in case your talent stage is lacking and fugly is your solely consequence, then outsource that.

6. Why are you doing this?

One other fixed theme was to reconnect together with your why. And not using a sturdy sufficient why you’ll stop.

There’s a sure way of life you’re chasing: location independence, time freedom, countless summers, however why else are you doing it?

What distinction are you making an attempt to make?

What’s your message and story to share with the world. Comply with the calling inside – irrespective of how loopy it might sound.

It’s about creating for how one can remodel folks’s lives, not for the cash you may make. Make the love crucial factor and the cash will comply with.

7. Dream large

Once more one other large theme of the convention that was talked about time and again.

Don’t concern it. Make it enjoyable and take away limitations.

Jadah shared her imaginative and prescient board as a approach of doing it.

For me, I shared the

“Wouldn’t it’s cool if?”

Paint the image of all of the cool issues your weblog can take you to. This technique form of takes away the limitation and simply makes it a enjoyable dialog with associates round a few martini espressos. (Oh wait, that was us at 1:30am on the Hydrate Bar! Who’s thought was that?)

These are all of the issues I assumed, “Wouldn’t it’s cool if?” they usually occurred.

Aside from the White Home factor! I might by no means have dreamed we’d get invited there.

Learn Extra: All of it begins with a dream

eight. The significance of motion

That is what I discuss in my 30 Day Cash Cleanse. The Secret fooled everybody into considering all you needed to do was take into consideration what you need and the Fairy Godmother would deliver it! No – motion is the place it’s all at.

Jadah Sellner stated it’s all about coronary heart and hustle.

After we first began coronary heart and hustle was the one leverage we had.

And this was one in all my favorite quotes once more from Jadah

Don’t wait till all the things is ideal. act now and be taught alongside the best way. Ruth additionally talked about this within the opening to her speak. She spoke to a mentor and confessed, “I really feel like such a fraud. I actually don’t know what I’m doing.”

His response – no person does. Everyone seems to be simply making an attempt to pave their very own approach. And should you’re out in entrance then there’s no doable approach you realize what you’re doing.

Arm your self with a machete and hack down the jungle vines alongside the best way.

I typically say, “I don’t know what I’m doing.” The distinction is I nonetheless DO it anyway. Once more it comes again to that concept about being okay with failure.

I’ll strive it and if it doesn’t work then I’ll simply refine it and begin once more.

I speak extra about enterprise and balancing it with journey and household on this podcast. Hear under.

9. What’s your one factor?

A mind like mine doesn’t wish to decide on one factor. I’ve a number of tasks (and a number of browser home windows) working at ones. (okay and perhaps a number of units too.) So when Darren requested us in his closing keynote to determine on one factor to do upon leaving the convention I wished to dive underneath the covers.

However, I’ve taken motion and carried out a lot of what I’ve realized by my typical fine details technique – the nomad that may’t cool down into one venture at a time.

I’ve tidied up a few of my e mail sequences, I’ve tweaked a little bit of my Instagram account and technique – (which is rising by nearly 100 folks a day! Yay. Come be a part of us!) I’ve arrange a rebranding and launch technique for my 30 Day Cash Cleanse and I’ve collaborated with Mike and Ang on an thrilling new venture.

The one factor we actually wish to create is a community-based problem for you all. So tell us you probably have any concepts of what you need assistance with so we are able to create that enjoyable resolution for you!
