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. [...]

I’m Not Sorry About Selling.

Posted on 30. Jan, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

I was going to write a blog post about my last relaunch (for 4 Weeks to Video).
How unlike every launch I have ever done, for the very first time, I met my membership goals. Actually, I surpassed my goals.
I was going to share the strategies I used in creating buzz, crafting the offer, the timing, [...]

The #1 Most Important Thing re Video

Posted on 27. Jan, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

I get asked questions about making videos all the time.
What camera do I use, how do I set up the lighting, where should I shoot, where do I host the video, how do I to edit, what software should I use, etc. ….
But that’s missing the point.
There’s one thing, one huge most important thing, that [...]

Why I’m Letting Go of Things That Make Money

Posted on 23. Jan, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

In the last 30 days, I decided to not relaunch The Money Tree System, to put my book Grow Up! Strategies on clearance, and to shut down TheWealthSpa.com.
These decisions seem completely unreasonable.
The program makes money. The book was already printed. The website got google organic traffic.
But sometimes the only way to move forward is [...]

The Profoundness of a T-Shirt

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

Not sure exactly when it was, probably 10 or 12 years ago, when I stopped buying t-shirts.
Because grown-up professionals don’t wear t-shirts, right?
They wear sweaters and blouses and button downs. Jackets over cute tops with coordinating scarves and necklaces. Tailored pants. Heels.
And so I thought that was what I was “supposed” to do.
But then [...]

The EPW Bucket List: Who Wants to Join Me?

Posted on 20. Jan, 2010 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein.

What’s a bucket list?
A “bucket list” is everything you want to do before you “kick the bucket” — everything you want to do before you die.
The first time I made a bucket list was in my freshman year of high school.
It was 1989. Sitting in the back of an auditorium filled with 1600 honors [...]

The Real Secret to Get 12K Followers on Twitter

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

How you are with your friends, people you love and care about?
When you meet them for coffee or drinks, do you stand on the chair and throw your business cards at them, screaming about your latest big launch?
Do you walk around the restaurant forcing people to stand around you and be part of your herd, [...]
