My second theme we're going to dive into for 2020 is Cultivating Your Value.

I recently came back from a work retreat with my business partner. We visited Bonaire. I’m not sure if any of you have ever heard of Bonaire, it’s a small island not too far from Aruba, Curacao, and South America.One of the things we did amongst all the fun in Bonaire was brainstorm ideas and layout the plans for my Digital Content Creation School for 2020. We came up with lots of ideas for trainings, webinars, freebies, masterclasses, courses, podcasts and more. All of this information is shared through my email list. If you’re not on it already, sign up here. As we were coming up with ideas for podcast topics we came up with this idea for me to share the business tools that I’m using to run my business.
