Lori’s Success

I had a call from Lori What Runs Lori last week and she told me she had just received a call from the local Sacramento Good Morning type newspaper segment.

Lori wanted to know what she should do so we talked about creating a CD with an hour segment on what people can do to begin to set their plans for the New Year to get back into shape after having no limit eating for the holidays.

Lori was filmed for more than three hours, the segment was broken up into several small portions and had a total of 7 minutes and 25 seconds of air time. Not only that, but they also did a huge spread in the Sacramento Bee.

Having media like that to add to your website adds collateral that is priceless. It establishes your expertise and adds a level of credibility that is beyond compare.

Here it is the same day and Lori already has the video on her site.  She’s included the recipe for the healthy Turkey Chimichanga Savory Cupcakes.

The amazing thing is that Lori is 28 years old and has many successes to her credit already.

She is about two months away from completing her first book and then she’ll be on her way. There is no stopping her! She has the enthusiasm and focus to make sure she will be successful.

Routines

I always recommend new bloggers develop a new habit of writing in their blog every day, at least for the first three months. It is the only way to gain the traction it takes to gain the ranking on your blog.

It is hard to know what to write about at first. When I first started writing in my blogs I had to really struggle to find enough ideas to write consistently. Then after about three or four weeks the ideas began to flow.

Everywhere I looked there were new ideas. There were conversations with friends and something I had heard on the radio. There were television programs and things I would see as I was driving throughout the Bay Area.

Then I decided I needed to start writing the ideas down in a list. I had so many I would forget what they were. Everywhere I looked I saw something else that I wanted to write about.

Then I decided to start writing about my life experiences. It was amazing how many of my stories added interesting items to be written. Everything from learning to fly, auto cross racing, down hill ski racing, travelling throughout Europe and so many more great experiences that were fun to re-live.

Look towards your family and friends for additional stories. You’ll find they will never disappoint you.
