How To Stay Inspired During Quarantine
During this crazy quarantine time I’ve been a tad bit obsessed with downloading freebies, checking out webinars, snagging tickets to virtual conferences, and I even bought a couple of online courses. To my surprise, I actually found this content incredibly inspiring and energizing. I felt like a student again, with my pen and paper, jotting down notes and learning new skills that will actually help me chase after some seriously big business goals.
If you’re in a slump about your current job, or career path, or even just want to dream again for your own personal business, then I highly recommend you give the following a shot! You might end up like me, and find yourself signing up for a million freebies... hah.
1. Download A Freebie
Everyone has a freebie these days, so check out what interests you, then download a checklist, ebook, worksheet or whatever it is and give it a go! If you don’t know where to find what you’re looking for I’d suggest you go to Pinterest and type in the search box, “How To Do _____ ” and see what comes up! Here are a few freebies that I’ve checked out:
GoLive’s “Brand Bio Formula”
Paper & Coin Budget Template
Alarice Stuart’s “Turn Your Website Into A Client Booking Machine”
Story Brand “5 Things Your Website Should Include”
Nesha Woolery’s “Road Map To Organize Your Business”
Paige Brunton’s “Passive Income Roadmap”
ilovecreatives “Do The Math: Freelancers”
Good Karma Works “Your Brand Design Brief Template”
I also have a FREE guide to “Start Your Dream Business Today!” In this guide you’ll learn:
How to have a clear vision for your brand
How to land on your business name
Quick tips to set-up your business finances
A check-list of everything you’ll need to launch your biz all from the comfort of your bed!
+ Bonus resources to help you stay organized and inspired
2. Check Out A Free Webinar
At first I hated webinars and now I’m obsessed with them. I think I’ve attended 5 webinars over the last 2 weeks! Here are some of my favs:
*Note: Some of these webinars or masterclasses might not be available anymore but I know these brands/individuals usually run some kind of webinar fairly often. Plus Instagram will start shoving these in your face pretty soon.
Jenna Kutcher’s “Pin To Win: Pinterest Strategy Training”
Elise Darma’s “Instagram Secrets Masterclass”
Megan Minns “Free Training: How To Achieve Your Goals”
Steph Taylor’s “Free Podcasting Masterclass”
3. Attend An Online Conference:
In May I attended my first virtual conference, which was the Rachelle Hollis’ Rise Live event. It was from 10:00am till 6:00pm. It was a pretty full-on day, but I found it really inspirational and now I’m even trying to implement her 5 To Thrive each day haha.
Another virtual conference I’ve signed up for, in June, is Digital 2020 hosted by The Atelier Collective. I saw that they scored Elizabeth Gilbert as one of the speakers, so that basically sold me!
4. Invest In An Online Course:
Courses have become MASSIVE in the online business world. I feel like everyone is launching a digital course or product these days. An online course can help you gain so much valuable information. You can even take it at your own pace and do it all from the comfort of your bed! That’s my kind of learning. ;)
Here are some killer courses that might interest you:
Jenna Kutcher has a bunch of online courses on mastering Pinterest, Instagram, Email Lists, Podcasting, and Photo Editing.
Squarestylist has a Free course on the Basics of CSS in Squarespace
ilovecreatives has a Squarespace Design Course
Steph Taylor’s “A-Z Podcast Launch Plan”
There are like a million more freebies, webinars, masterclasses, online conferences and courses out there! Just give it go and hopefully you’ll gain some new confidence and inspiration to chase after those business goals and career dreams!
Stay inspired friends!
