Go Nuts!

Go Nuts!

A famous candy bar slogan reads “Sometimes you feel like a nut…” Well, they weren’t just talking about your mental state. Nuts can be a tasty part of a healthy diet, but they can be a little tricky to include. Read on for ways to maximize the health benefits of nuts.

Nuts contain good nutrients like healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamin E. These substances are great for the health of your heart and your blood. Fat and fiber can help you feel full while eating less food. Vitamin E is also great for your skin and hair.

Off When You're Off - Disconnect Entirely from Work and Goals When You Need Downtime

Do you find yourself checking emails, taking care of loose ends and making work calls on the weekend, late into the evening or while you’re on vacation? If you answered yes, you need to read this now!

Studies show that failing to disconnect from work results in several negative side effects. But first, don’t worry. You’re not alone! Nearly 70 percent of Americans put in a full workday at least once weekend a month, according to a study by Enterprise Rent-A-Car. 

Healthy Attitudes

Healthy Attitudes

“It’s all in your head.” This isn’t usually a kind or positive statement. However, everyday stories and scientific research agree on one point. The human brain is capable of amazing things. In fact, your thoughts and attitudes may have a powerful impact on achieving success, finding good fortune, or even just being happy.

Series: Stress—Mindful Breathing: Your Secret Weapon

Owning a business is stressful during normal times, but couple that with the holiday season—and oh yeah, a pandemic—and the pressure and uncertainty can feel like more than you can handle.

Study after study has shown that uncontrolled stress can lead to a long list of negative repercussions, such as poor memory, low energy, aches and pains, upset stomach, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, weakened immune system, insomnia, a higher risk for cancer, and more.

And if you have all that working against you, you can’t run a successful business, right? But with one secret weapon in your back pocket, you can reduce your stress. That secret weapon is called mindful breathing.

Infusionsoft by Keap is becoming Max Classic

Don't panic! If you bought your Infusionsoft app when it was still called "Infusionsoft," you know the company changed its name from "Infusionsoft" to "Keap" a couple of years ago. At that time, they changed the product called "Infusionsoft" to "Infusionsoft By Keap." Now, with their products adding and restructuring, "Infusionsoft By Keap" is renamed to "Keap Max Classic." Same functionality, same everything you are used to.

If you need help with your Keap Max Classic app or feel you aren't getting as much out of it as you'd like to, give us a call or contact us online.

The Value of Reading to Your Children (Even When They Can Read)

Series: Stress – Water: A Serious look at how much you should be drinking…

Series: Stress – Water: A Serious look at how much you should be drinking…

You may be wondering what water has to do with stress. Well, it turns out that multiple studies have shown that dehydration leads to increased cortisol levels. Cortisol is your “fight-or-flight” hormone and plays an important role in your metabolism, your body’s immune response, and your body’s response to stress.

Additionally, mild dehydration can cause negative side effects, such as decreased physical and mental performance. Symptoms include fatigue, and reduced attention, focus, reaction speed and short-term memory. This is because dehydration literally stresses out your body, and then when you add extra stress from work and life responsibilities, it dehydrates your body even more. It’s a vicious cycle to get stuck in!

I LOVE OnceHub!

I LOVE OnceHub!

Normally I don’t rhapsodize about an app but ScheduleOnce by OnceHub is truly worth it. In short, it’s a scheduling app. But that’s like saying Google is just search software.

Several years ago we were consistently frustrated trying to schedule meetings with prospects and clients because of the time and repeated communications trying to nail down a time that was convenient to both parties. Multiple calls and/or emails back and forth - Them: “Can you meet with me sometime next week?” Us: “Sure, how about Tuesday afternoon at 1pm? If that’s not good, give me some dates and times that work for you.” Them: “No I’m busy on Tuesday. Can you do Wednesday or Thursday?” And so on, and so on. You get the picture. Heck, you’ve probably been there yourself.

Time for a new solution! We found ScheduleOnce when it was relatively new to the game and realized it had the potential to streamline the whole meeting process for us.
