  SPA Girls Podcast – EP169 – 5 Goals You Need To Make In 2019

  Goals! We're all so excited about them at the beginning of January, and then we feel them like chains around our necks by the end of the month. (Well, here in the SPA we do. Maybe you're able to make it into February without feeling like you're never going to make them work...hehe) What we've decided is that instead of overwhelming yourself with ALL THE GOALS, if you set one goal in these five areas, for a shorter period of time (we're suggesting 12 weeks) then you're more likely to make them happen. We go through each of the five areas, and talk about the goals that each of us are setting in each, and give suggestions of goals that you could set as well. This is another information packed episode that will help you set some relevant goals that are going to help you move forward in 2019.

  SPA Girls Podcast – EP168 – 31 Marketing Ideas To Jumpstart Your Year

  This year we decided to begin with something a little different... Instead of the usual "motivational and uplifting" or "beginning of the year goal setting" type show, we thought we'd give you 31 quick and easy marketing ideas that you can do each day to give you a solid start to 2019. It's a great way to show you how little jobs done daily can add up quickly to make something pretty great. You'll be amazed at the results you can achieve from what seems like a tiny daily effort!  You can do each and every one of the 31 ideas that we give you and do one daily in January, or you could pick one of them and do it each day instead.  The important thing is to be doing something each day that will advance your author career. Little steps can help you achieve so much more than you expect!  If you're looking for some ideas for ways to amp up your marketing in 2019, then this is the episode for you. You'll be pleased you made the effort at the end of January, we promise. :)

  SPA Girls Podcast – EP76 – First Quarter Goals

  This week we sit down and talk through our self publishing goals for the first quarter, and how we've been going with our writing. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with some of us having achieved our goals and others not so much. But there's always something to learn from our highs and lows, especially how to recalibrate your writing and marketing goals when things happen outside of your control, and how to keep yourself going when times get tough!
