The Big Question: “Do I Have to Edit My Videos?”

Posted on 04. Mar, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

Editing your videos is the most time consuming and technically-intimidating part of creating videos for your video blog, sales page, or on your main website.
Yes, I know your pain.

The Many Ways in Which I Suck

Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

I am blessed to have a never-ending skip chat open on my desktop with Allison Nazarian and Sarah Robinson called “the daily confessional” where I can share all of my insanities, the snarks about who’s annoying me, the bizarre yet amusing serendipities of life, everything that’s going wonky in my business or with my daughter [...]

What Does It Mean to “Live Your Truth?”

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

I talk about Live Your Truth all the time (it’s even tattooed on the inside of my wrist!), and every so often someone actually asks me straight out, “what do you mean by live your truth?”
As I’ve said many times, I can’t tell you what it means to live your truth.
Because it’s your truth.
Not the [...]

The *Real* Reason Video is Hard.

Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

Somehow the conversation (via @ replies on twitter, comments on a blog post, in real life at cocktail party, whatever) turns to my business.
And blogging. And making online videos.
And the “how to make a video” questions start …

what camera do you use?
do you film in HD?

Sorry, I Don’t Have Any Angst Tonight.

Posted on 21. Feb, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

I’m lying here on the floor of my new bedroom, in the outline of where my to-be-ordered queen size bed will be placed, drinking a somewhat boring 88-point chardonney out of a red plastic cup.
Writing a blog post.
I thought tonight’s post would be one of my to-be-written angst filled manifestos about all the reasons I [...]

Are You Coming to the Live Your Truth Twitterchat? #lytchat

Posted on 19. Feb, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

Living your truth is an adventure.
It’s a challenge. It feels uncomfortable.
Living your truth is not an absolute.
I can’t teach you what your truth is … that is your own personal exploration. It’s a dialogue, a conversation with yourself. With your clients. With everyone who cares about you.
And the only way to live in [...]

Everything or Nothing: An Ode to the INFJ

Posted on 07. Feb, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

On days like today, when I wake up at 3:30 am with whorly brain, running something through my mind to find all the ways I was stupid and wrong and a fool, while intellectually understanding that I’m being completely illogical and unreasonable, I can usually trace my distress to my particular brand of insanity, that [...]

I Am a Writer. So What.

Posted on 06. Feb, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

I’ve written 22,000+ tweets. Hundreds of blog posts. Published a book.
There are 24 entries in my “blog post ideas” text file. A few one-liners, a few with a couple bullet points, and two that are brain dumps of half-formed paragraphs and unconnected ideas.
I spend a fair amount of my life in the creation of content. [...]
