42 Day Creative Retreat Process: The Details Revealed

February 21, 2010

Woo-hoo here we go folks.  This week for the first time I will be talking about the 42 Day Creative Retreat process live on a Webinar with my wonderful colleague Jeff Simpkins.

Here’s the description:

42 Day Creative Retreat Process: How to go away every day
Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 @ 1 pm Eastern

You want to do bigger things in life but sometimes those bigger, more meaningful projects seem impossible to get off the ground.  How do you take time out of your busy day to dedicate to the things that really matter to you?  More importantly how do you overcome that ever present inner critic that tells you you can’t do it?  Join Annie Hart (that’s me), creator and developer of the 42 Day Creative Retreat Process which helped her create a nearly complete body of work in only 42 days.

Now what’s not to love about that folks?

You want to do bigger things in the world and it’s darned hard to get them off the ground right?  That’s why I put myself in the ‘desert’ of my own life to find out how to crack the code and I’m bringing it out to the public now for the very first time.

Please join us. Jeff is great - very lively and engaging.  He is the one who I tell the funny story about that he turned me on to Bea Fields, the blogging class and the power of Twitter.  This is a man with a lot of heart, knowledge and expertise.

He will be hearing about the process for the first time as well.  So do be on the edge of your seats to find out all the juicy details!

The Webinar is free but you do need to register.  Just click here to do so.

Coming soon, my collaborator Ian Waddelow and I will be launching a 42 Day Retreat pilot group.  How fun is that!

So stay tuned for more and as always get out there and change the world!

Everything Happens in Starbucks

February 4, 2010

I don’t mean to eavesdrop but I love people and being engaged in life, so I can’t help myself.  I tend to to listen in when I hear juicy bits of conversation, as I did this morning at my local Starbucks and boy was I glad I did!

I met two of the most wonderful ladies - women that are icons of a bygone era and role models of another way of living that we are dearly missing in this modern hectic world.

I tuned in because I overheard one of them talking about trying to text on her cell phone.  She was telling her friend that she needed to look in the manual to figure out how to do it.

I chuckled to myself because I could totally relate.  When I bought my ‘little phone’ - aka cell phone, I had to beg a male friend of mine to meet me for coffee just so he could show me how to use it!

We are folks of another generation, one in which gadgets of this kind were not automatically attached to our ears at birth.  As I turned to look at them, I chuckled and they might have thought I was laughing at them but I wasn’t.  They said, “We’re not so good at this stuff.”

I told them that I hadn’t been good at ‘that stuff’ either and that we of another generation are all of a similar predicament.  We come from the days before there were even answering machines.  So we are all bewildered by this new technology.

We got to chatting and they were just delightful.  I told them my story of being a former-technophobe (which I wrote about some months ago), until I took a course called, “Become A Blogging Maniac” with my wonderful mentor Bea Fields.  That is how I advanced my business and propelled myself into the 21st century at the same time.

They were interested to know how it worked for me.  I was excited to tell them that I’ve had over 5,000 visitors on my blog in under a year.  I get nearly 900 visitors a month!  Isn’t that amazing?  And the best part is that it’s all from the comfort and enjoyment of my own home (or a local Starbucks) instead of trekking God knows where to drum up business.

They were intrigued and wanted to know more  about how it works.  I told them about Facebook and Twitter thinking they wouldn’t know what the heck they were, but I found out quickly that these are not your average golden-aged ladies.  They are women with a great sense of adventure.  One of them uses them both and so I got right on Facebook and made her my new friend!  Love it.

They told me that in their era they were never encouraged to believe that they could do anything.  One of them said, “We were told we would be taken care of.”  Wow that really hit home.

They told me stories of ironing their napkins and polishing their silver and I felt this deep longing for the elegance and thoughtfulness of another time.  Hearing their stories, I fell in love with them both instantly.  They are truly gems of another day gone by.

This made me realized that I need to capture their stories.  We need stories like these to remind us of the elegance of living.  Right then and there I decided that I am going to film them and share their stories.

Aren’t you eager to hear what they have to say?

So stay tuned for the wonderful stories of the two beautiful ladies of another generation that I met in Starbucks!

Everything happens in Starbucks folks.  If you’re willing to eavesdrop just a little, you can meet the most wonderful people.  Today go have a Starbucks on me.  Eavesdrop on some neighbors and see what magic might happen right in your local coffee shop.

Yours in sharing the stories that make life rich and meaningful,

Annie

How To Create Community Using Social Media

December 3, 2009

Alright I’m the first to admit that I thought Twitter was the most ridiculous thing in the world and completely irrelevant for my business.  I remember saying to my colleagues, “Don’t even tell me about it!”  I wrote it off as one of those Hollywood fads that was made for those who enjoy silly snippets of conversation.

But much to my complete surprise, social media forums like Twitter and Facebook have become a central pillar of my business communications.  Who knew!

What I love about Twitter and Facebook is that we can now have conversations with just about anyone in the world, about anything.  Personally I don’t write those posts that tell people what I’m having for breakfast or the fact that my dog just went out and “did potty.”  But those aren’t things that I talk about anyway, so why would I post them on Twitter!

Many people get put off by these kinds of conversations but what I say to you is if you don’t enjoy those kinds of conversations, then find ones that you do enjoy.  Seek out what is relevant and interesting to you and then start to connect.  Now how do you do that?

Well if you’re like me I get overwhelmed easily by too much data and there is no way that I want to be reading 9 million status updates a day.  So I just trust that wherever I land is where I’m meant to connect, or I search out certain types of people and start to follow them.  But my personal secret to fulfillment in social media is that I make all of my connections very personal, or at least as much as I can.

I’m not an anonymous type person, so why should I want thousands of people following me that I don’t care about?  I wouldn’t.  As much as I can, I try to connect with people individually because that alone makes me feel like I’m building community.

Personal, individual contact is the key to feeling like you’re part of something.  We all want to feel connected and we need to be part of the bigger human family, so I make that my personal goal rather than just racking up the numbers.

And I’ve had great success at this.  I have a wonderful following both on Twitter and Facebook but more than that, I have built connections with interesting people from all over the world.

I’ve spoken on the phone to several that I met on Twitter and in a few weeks I will be hosting a special Radio Show with two wonderful storytelling colleagues from Barcelona, Spain whom I met on Twitter.  Who would have ever thought!

So can you have fun and fulfillment on social media?  The answer is yes. No it’s never as good as in person contact and obviously I don’t want to be dating this way or having all of my social life online, but hey, the bigger the global family the better.

Try it today and see if you aren’t Tweeting a Happy Tune sooner than you thought and if you need any tips, feel free to contact me!

Yours in building community connections,

Annie

News Flash: I’m A National Blogger Now!

November 14, 2009

Good News Friends, I am now a National Blogger for the online women’s magazine, Skirt! I was introduced to this by my good friend and blogging buddy, elizabeth cassidy of Coaches on the Edge.

I am very excited to be getting my words out to a larger audience and particularly to women.

I have a host of great stories and many things to share with women regarding love, relationships and the foibles of human love on planet earth.  I hope you’ll check me out on Skirt! and stay tuned for great stories.

I thought I’d share a snippet of my first post and if you want to see more, I encourage you to peruse Skirt! at www.skirt.com.  It’s a wonderful forum for us modern gals.

The post was titled, “Gotta Be Bad, Gotta Be Bold, Gotta Be Wiser”

“Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds, try and keep your head up to the sky.  Lovers may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted don’t be ashamed to cryto try. You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser…..love will save the day.” song, by Des’ree

In thinking about my first new post for Skirt! (I’m so excited), I wanted to represent to you what is most important in my life as a woman at this time.  I just turned Fabulous 50 and I want to dare to be big, bad, bold and wise.  I want to stand up and count and not be afraid to cry.  And I want to dare to dance around my living room to Des’ree before I write my blog posts to you, which I just did.

I want all of us to live bigger and less afraid.  I want us to love more and fear less.  The men of the world need our help.  They are floundering in many ways and I know for myself that I used to believe that men were the leaders.  But as I’ve matured I’ve come to realize that they need our help.  Women having knowing and wisdom in our bones and  we need to stand up, speak out and share it.

Too often we play small.  Or when we do try to be big and bold, we do it  by being hardened or cynical.  That is not our true way.  At our core, we are loving, kind, fierce, strong and knowing.  The world needs our love, our care, our sense of humor, our beautiful bodies, our sensuality, our love of chocolate and shoes.

The world needs us to stand up, shout out, dare to wear high heels (if we want to), and dance around our living rooms.  Honestly I rarely wear high heels because they’re so damned uncomfortable!  I like bare feet best. But as a woman, I have learned the art of wearing the high heel, which I will share more about in future stories……

Again check out Skirt! and stay tuned for my stories….

Yours in never skirting around the issues,

Annie

Adding Excitement to Your Blog; Communicating in Person

October 28, 2009

From Annie: This is a wonderful post written by my friend Jeannette Paladino of Write, Speak, Sell.  She is an expert in all forms of written communication.  I love her take on making communication more personal.

I was just trolling through the blog of my friend Annie Hart and I realized how exciting her blog is.  She uses video extensively and her writing is fresh and appealing.

Granted, she promotes story telling as a distinctive means of communication so it makes sense to see her in action.  But, I thought, don’t people want to see me in action, too, even though I have a much more focused business blog?

That got me to thinking that we’ve all become too attuned, maybe, to communicating through IPhones, Blackberries and online.  We don’t have enough personal interaction.

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve almost been run over on the sidewalks of New York City by a person looking down, totally engrossed in her PDA.  And in New York it’s not easy to become oblivious to the throngs of pedestrian traffic.

But that’s what we’re doing – tuning out the personal interaction.

I was sitting in coffee shop the other day and four young women were eating at the next table.  Not a word was being spoken as they all exercised their thumbs text messaging, surfing the Internet and playing games.

I honestly find this all a bit scary.  As bloggers, we need to figure out ways to add the human touch to our blogs.  How about doing a video introduction of your next guest blogger, even though he may be writing a blog and not doing a video or podcast?  Or what about a video of yourself on your “About” page discussing your credentials, your goals, your business and your values?

Mind you, I’m somewhat like the cobbler with a hole in her shoes.  I haven’t done all this yet, but I do know I need to get more of me in my blog.  Annie is going to help me figure it out.

Annie: Jeannette you make a great point.  The power of real life personal communication is  a precious commodity that we must preserve.  And yes we’ll get your blog looking great!

Tackling Technology: Tips From A Former Technophobe

October 28, 2009

From Annie:
This week I wrote an article for my local paper in which I shared the story of my business success using blogging and social media.  Wow, I would never have predicted that I would be a person to to overcome my fears of technology and go so far.  But thanks to Bea Fields and her wonderful blogging course, I am more than happy to share this story.

From Bea Fields:
Less than 10 months ago, Annie Hart dug her heels in and told her friend Jeff Simpkins …”No way will I ever want to blog…I can’t do that.”

She then caved into peer pressure from Jeff (Jeff is a super salesman!) and signed up for the Become a Blogging Maniac program.

Not only has she become a a blogging maniac, she is now actually speaking to and teaching others in her local community about blogging and the use of technology as tools to reach a wider audience.  And, she is being sought out by others for her storytelling expertise and is in the early stages of writing a book…wow…what a transformation!

So, Annie is now being sought out by the media for her story on being a former technophobe who is now a techno-wonder kid!  Here you go…an article in the Chestnut Hill Local in Philadelphia, PA by the title of Tackling Technology:  Tips from A Former Technophobe by Annie Hart.  Congrats Annie!

If Annie can do this, so can you!

From Annie: My success was so surprising and unexpected and I feel committed to helping others overcome their fears of technology as well.  I plan to write several more articles for my local paper and even launch an initiative to help my community work together for our collective business success.  I hope my story inspires you to know what’s possible in your business.  Feel free to contact me.

We Blog, Therefore We Are - Our Top 4 1/2 Reasons to Blog

October 23, 2009

This is a joint blog post by elizabeth cassidy & Annie Hart, Blogging Maniacs who share the power of story through blogging:

Once upon a time, people wrote letters, peeled a stamp off their tongues and recited a silent prayer, hoping that their words would make it across the world or town.   While man wrote on cave walls and woman doused her love letters in cheap perfume, it was inevitable that one day all this would pass away.

In its wake arose a way to communicate in a nanosecond, with your friends, family and the world at large.  I don’t know if you got the announcement, but your computer gave birth to a weblog in 1998.  They call it a blog for short.  It’s a family name.

Below are some of the reasons why you should be blogging.  Read them now.

Reason Number One: (from Annie) First of all, we Ole’ Folks need to get hip.  We want to be part of the wave of the future, not left back in the dust with the dinosaurs right?  It’s embarrassing to think that Tweeting is just what birds do.  If you’re over forty or fifty in my case and you’re freaked out by blogging, then I suggest you read a book, take a course or call me or elizabeth.  We’ll convince you that you can do it.   God knows if we can do it, you can do it.

Reason Number Two: (from elizabeth) We all have thoughts and opinions on what is going on in our lives, our neighbor’s lives and the world at large.  So let us know how global warming, mixing plaids with strips or how the political scene is shaping up or destroying your world.  Pick a subject that keeps you up at night and blog about it.  When you write with passion, the world will beat a path to your door.

Ok they may knock at first, but people will come back for more when you tell us what you think, why you think it and how you plan on enlightening us in the future.  Not a heavy thinker and have been known to crack a joke or two at the wrong time - like science class or in the middle of performing an emergency appendectomy? Then write a blog that will make people laugh and let your readers stumble upon it, follow or share it, tweet it with everyone they know. Just write your blog as if the world depended on your voice getting out there.  And some days, you never know, it just might.

From My Guest Blogger Greg: “Humanizing Twitter”

October 16, 2009

I posted a blog post this week about having fun on Twitter and made a new friend instantly through the post!  That is one of the things that I love most about Twitter is that neat and interesting people show up.  I met web developer Greg Falken who uses Twitter a lot and liked my approach, so I asked him to share a little bit about his philosophy of Twitter.  I especially love his metaphor about thinking about Twitter like being at a party.  Thanks Greg for the useful tips and being part of the Twitter flock!

Twitter is pretty darned geeky. It’s full of symbols and jargon and half the time you can’t even tell if you’re being tweeted by a human or a robot. People wonder, with good reason, how they can possibly get anything useful, let alone humane, out of the untold number of tweets that pass through the system every day.

The first thing that I tell new Twitter users (after, “you won’t know if it’s a stupid idea or not until you try it”) is that they don’t have to read every tweet that comes through their account. Everything prior to a few minutes ago is water under the bridge. Unless it mentions you or is a direct message to you, in which case you need to keep track of and respond to it. Every Twitter client and the web site makes this easy to do.

Next, you need to follow a group of people who you find interesting or with whom you have common interests; people who you would like to talk to. Think of Twitter like a crowded party. The conversations flow around you and you can choose which ones to focus on and where to join in. If you’ve chosen your party (the people you’re following) well, this can be both entertaining and informative. If you’re at a party with a lot of obnoxious drunks…well, that can be less pleasant. Remember, you get to choose who you follow. If someone follows you and you don’t follow them back, it’s like they don’t exist. If you follow someone who you later decide to un-follow, they’ll get over it.

When you do decide to join a conversation, knowing some of Twitter’s somewhat quirky conventions will help you be better understood.

• The @ symbol. Including @username anywhere in your tweet will cause it to show up in that person’s list of “mentions”. If @username is the first thing in the tweet (i.e. @ is the first character), the tweet will only be visible to the recipient and anyone who follows both of you. So, when you want your tweet to go into the general Twitter stream and be noticed by an individual, include @username somewhere after the first character of the tweet.
• Hash tags. Hash tags were not a part of Twitter’s original release. People using the service found that they needed a way of identifying words to search on and settled on prefixing them with a hash (#) symbol. When you include a hash tag in a tweet, you are inviting people to search for that tag. For example, if I tweet about health care reform and include the hash tag #hcr, I can be sure that my tweet will show up in a lot of search results, in addition to my followers seeing it. Use the search box on Twitter.com to find commonly used hash tags. Brand names are also commonly used. If a company is paying attention, they should be monitoring for any usage of their name in a hash tag and respond to you. Sadly, this is not often the case.
• Retweets. Another instance of the users of Twitter coming up with a convention, in this case the letters “RT” followed by the @username of the original sender (so they will know that they’ve been retweeted). You can either retweet verbatim or edit it a bit and add your own comments. I like to put comments at the end, prefixed with <–.
• Links. If you use Twitter’s web site, URLs are automatically made clickable but they are not shortened, eating into your 140 character limit. Most of the 3rd party Twitter clients, either desktop or web-based, will shorten URLs using a service (4th party?) like bit.ly or tr.im.

Once you do start talking on Twitter, be a good conversationalist. You want people’s response to your tweets to be either, that was helpful or that was interesting or both. It’s not always easy to write stories in 140 characters or less but it can be done with practice. Here are some good examples:

Rain in DC this morning is mean to all who pass. The bones in my feet will be cold all day.
@jdickerson

Fish communicate through farts http://bit.ly/2ybLKD
@slate

Didn’t realize I flew in on the same flight as @tmonhollon from Oklahoma. Okies represent! #bwe09
@BeckyMcCray

Breaking: Tipped off by Stockholm that he was about to be branded euro-wimp peacenik, Obama ordered NASA to bomb moon.
@Roland_Hedley

Be nice, give credit where credit is due and remember, more than 20 tweets a day and people will think you have way to much time on your hands.

You Can Have Fun Tweeting on Twitter

October 10, 2009

You Can Have Fun Tweeting On Twitter!

Several times in the last few days a friend has contacted me and asked, “How are you using Twitter?  You seem to be having so much fun.”

The answer is - I am having fun.  Who knew this would be the case only 6 months ago when I began my foray into the world of social networking.

Last spring I took a marketing course for independent professionals.  In the room with me were 25 cool folks who knew so much more than me in just about every area.  I was intimidated.  I have alot of expertise in certain areas, but marketing isn’t one of them.  So I was feeling pretty overwhelmed.

I heard them all talking about the latest tools of technology I remember thinking, “That just not for me.”

But when the conversation got around to Twitter I just couldn’t hold back anymore and I burst out saying, “That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.  I will never ever be using Twitter.”  I would be eating those words less than six months later.

I began using it because the people that I had made friends with in the course were using it with great success.  Since they were all credible people, I got  curious and decided to try it for myself.

I began slowly at first, not really having any idea what I was doing.  I decided to just foray on my own instead of asking anyone how to do.  I wanted to brave the wilds of Twitter by myself and discover how it could work for me.

It took me awhile to figure out what the heck I was doing but strangely I developed a good following within only a few months and they were really interesting and relevant people.  How cool!

I didn’t let any porn stars follow me or any of the over-the-top-super-mega- marketers that aren’t providing anything useful.   I decided that I wanted to build a network of people that I would be happy to know.  That was a good decision on my part.  I have enjoyed connecting with quite a few people in the Twitterverse.

I posted all my blog posts and even my Radio Show on Twitter and got a lot of traffic and many nice comments.  People even wanted to talk to me and I got interviewed as a Story Expert from someone I met on Twitter!I was starting to have fun now.

My favorite moment came when I met two really special Storytellers from Barcelona - Eva and Carlos.  We were kindred spirits for sure.  Eva is a storyteller and fellow NLP trainer and Carlos is a filmmaker.

They are working on one of the first books for storytelling in Spain and we plan to see about collaborating.  The funniest part of it is that when I built my blog I decided that I wanted to be available to work in Europe and I forgot that I had even put this out there but Eva noticed it and commented on that.

So here is my personal strategy, never before revealed, for having fun and making friends on Twitter:

1. seek out and follow relevant people that you’d enjoy
2. if someone follows you that looks interesting, check out their website and info and then send them a nice DM (direct message) and say hello
3. be friendly and think of what you can do for others, rather than trying to push yourself or anything on them.

I like to treat people in the Twitterverse like real friends and community, not like potential sales targets.  I think this has contributed most to my fun, enjoyment and fulfilling connections on Twitter.

This week I got the nicest message from Carlos.  It said, “a special tweet to Anniesheart (my twitter name) for her sweetness and insight.”  That took the Twitter cake!

If you should want to find my friends Carlos and Eva on Twitter, they’re at @imastranger (Carlos) and @ evasnijders (Eva).  Tell them I sent you.

So my secret ingredient to happiness and success in the Twitterverse  is to be yourself, reach out to others and have fun.  See you on Twitter, @anniesheart.

21 Ways You Can Make Your Business Stronger

August 6, 2009

This is a wonderful useful post by my mentor Bea Fields who is the best in this area:

I personally believe that everyone needs a blog…it just makes sense from an SEO perspective to have great content filled with rich keywords.

But, as  Professional Certified Coach and a member of the coaching industry, I believe that coaches have so much to offer and share with others, and a blog is a perfect mechanism for getting your message out and delivering ongoing value.  At the end of the day, delivering a great message and adding value can make your business so much stronger.

So, if you are a coach, here are the 21 ways a blog can make your business stronger.  Of course, these apply to anyone, but today, I am truly speaking to coaches:

1) A blog can serve as a storage site for the many articles you write.  This can greatly enhance your expertise and build credibility.

2) With a great podcasting player, you can load ALL of your teleclasses straight into your blog.  You can password protect your pages for teleclasses you sell and give the others away as freebies.

3) With Survey Gizmo, you can run free surveys and assessments on your blog.

4) With a blog, you can answer the most frequently asked questions about coaching.

5) Each time you are mentioned in the media, this information can be posted on your blog.

6) I have nothing against static websites, but unless you know Dreamweaver or Front Page, many coaches pay web designers to make tiny changes that end up costing thousands of dollars annually.  With a blog, you have complete control over making updates to your pages without hiring a webmaster to do it.  If you can type, you can write a blog post or create a blog page.

7) Many of the new blog templates (check out http://ithemes.com or http://studiopress.com ) offer templates that look JUST LIKE WEBSITES.  You can build pages, add opt in boxes, add video, podcasts and the list goes on and on.

8. You can become known as an expert in your field.  As a coach, when you become great with blogging, you can become a newsbreaker, spreading great news about the latest/greatest information in the coaching industry AND in the niche you represent.

9) News agencies and radio/television shows are more likely to pick up your story if you are consistently putting information out there (I know…it’s happened dozens of times for me.)

10) Your network will grow by leaps and bounds…and not just in the coaching industry but in multiple industries.

11) With a blog, you can post an events category, and each time a new event is coming, you can post it.

12) You can sell coaching,  products and training straight from your blog.  Yes…you can indeed add links to your blog to sell products and services.

13) Search engines love blogs, because they are so content rich.  Your search engine ranking will go up the more you blog.

14) If there is a concern circulating around your business or the coaching industry, you can address this immediately by posting on your blog.

15) You can allow your true voice to be heard.  As a coach, you have so much to say and offer, and most of this (I have found) goes unspoken.  With a blog, you can talk from the heart about your passions, goals and vision.

16) You can use your blog to post all of your newsletters.  With e-mail becoming more and more difficult to send and open, you can have a place on your blog just for your newsletters.

17) With a platform like Wordpress , a blog can be basically free.  If you host the blog on your own domain, with a service like Hostgator.com, you pay about $9.00 per month to have a blog on your own domain.

18) You can use your blog to connect your message to over 30 social networks, including the 3 big guns:  Twitter , Facebook and Linked In .

19) When you grow tired of the “look” of your blog or it becomes outdated, you simply update it by installing a new theme…you don’t have to go back to the drawing board with a brand new design, paying thousands of dollars for a new website.

20) You can use your blog as a forum by encouraging comments from others.  The dialogue you create with others will enrich your life and the lives of your customers.

21) You can deliver ongoing value to the public every day of your life, and this is what coaches are so great with…delivering ongoing value!

At the end of the day, if the above 21 are happening, you WILL see your sales increase.  It just happens, because at the end of the day, people want to hire a coach who knows what he/she is talking about and who is on the bleeding edge of business and technology.

If you are a coach (or a business owner) and you do not yet have a blog, I invite you to check out the Become a Blogging Maniac Program starting August 10.
