Let’s begin with
Wait a Sec!
Today’s Fascinating Fact: Did you know that Black Friday started sometime around the 1980s?
And that people used to stand around outside until 12am Friday morning, when stores would then open?
Things were ‘waaay different back then, indeed. Grab the deets at:
The Real History of Black Friday. Cool!

Section 4.) aWeber Price Hike?
=========================
Standing OUT from the Thundering Herd!
Why hello everyone and here we have the latest Virtual Coach newsletter and…
WAIT Hang On!
I will be moving this newsletter to a different internal list (it will simplify things for those who are subscribed to my other classes) Please take the time now to sign-up/verify you will get these newsletters below. Thank you! 😊 )
And now back to our regularly broadcasted goodness!
Have you ever wanted to simply stand out from all those ads that are clamoring for your attention?.
So. Remember Black Friday last week? Welp, about a week prior (to be precise, Nov 21st), I was seized by an insane desire to create a Black Friday launch with my business partner.
I will be the first to admit, I was simply flying by the seat of my pants.
And at first (in recounting the story), I was ready to beat myself up regarding that it took me 8 days from concept to turning it live, however… I just revisited my timeline and launch schedule and look!
I was ALSO taking care of the Better Than aWeber? sale at the same time, so….
Methinks I did okay (even if some of my image creating thingees resulted in Works of Art Like this:
That was *supposed* to be the *words* “Blue Friday” made out of sapphires. Sigh.
Back to what I was saying:
However, that’s *me* – let’s now return back to the most important person reading…. you!
Do you ever get a desire to outdo your past self… but let your rational mind tell you:
I’ll never stand out so why bother?
Other peoples have already done it.
Why bother? You’ll never make the finish line!
I will confess – ALL of those thoughts smooshed me during the process. And here’s how I handled them:
CASE 1: I’ll never stand out so why bother? That was a very valid worry on my part so… I changed OUR sale to Blue Friday!
CASE 2: Other peoples have already done it. Yep, but nobody would do it like I would do it!
CASE 3: Why bother? You’ll never make the finish line! Ah, but you’ll never know unless you try, right?
I got the whole kit and kaboodle done by 5pm on Black Friday. Sure, I didn’t go live exactly in in the morning, but so far we’ve cleared over 2K.
Over 2K… just from a “What IF” idea.
Your takeaway? You never know what you’re capable of until you actually sit down and *try*.
Who knows… You might end up surprising yourself!
And onto today!
Blue Friday Extravaganza!
It’s ending soon (if it hasn’t already)!

Next, let’s look at:
Better Than aWeber?
Were you hit by the massive price hike that aWeber graciously bestowed upon its users, even those who have been using their services for over 20 years?
Welp, I was… and so I created a simple, time-saving 1 page Cheatsheet to help others deal with it.

This is part of quite the awesome series. See how one heroic individual decided to fight BACK against porch pirates!
Nifty indeed!

And don’t forget:
Our Public Service Message: Beware The News!
Picture this: you create a viral video about a fossilized clam, and depending on the news outlet, the story spins in wildly different directions! Is it a space alien? Was it planted by Purple People Eater Peace? Is its first cousin a Pet Rock?
Well… Want to see the media’s spin tricks in right before your eyes? Visit AllSides.com … or you can find every take simply by searching here!
I’d like to encourage you to look into what *everyone* is saying, so you have knowledge of what’s being spread:
And about business?
Our Other PSA!
You might NOT be a boomer (‘course, you might be)…
But you might be experiencing:
- Anxiety/depression
- Decrease in motivation (hello self!)
- Increase in irritation due to the world’s current status
- Physical/mental/emotional challenge
And that’s why you’re going to want to ensure you stay subscribed to me.
Because, unlike the VAST majority of marketers you’ll see out there…
I admit it when things go bad (as you can see above! 
)
My health could be ‘way better, my drive could be ‘way better, heck… *I* could be way better!
But so long as there’s breath within my body… I will keep fighting.
Join me?
Remember, while reinventing, I’m going to section out my audience like so:
- Beginners
- Advanced
- Folks going thru Anxiety/Depression/Growing Bolder/etc.
Stay tuned!
Plus…
I’ll be moving the backend publication to another provider.
