Often I see Giggers, those working in the new Gig economy, keeping themselves so busy they have no time to develop themselves. That’s why with my personal coach and mentor clients, and in classes where I teach a How to Become a Life Coach Certification course, we talk about being too busy to build yourself.

The crazy thing…

Are you planting trees by developing your digital marketing like Warren Buffett says? More later…
How do you rate? What are you doing to plant your trees to develop your digital marketing?

Giggers are you often too busy surviving to learn to build yourselves? As The New Rich are effective Entrepreneurs who learn to use systems (like digital marketing) to prevent getting too busy surviving to learn to build themselves for experiencing optimal lifestyles.
Today we are aligning our Success Skill #6 with Gig Business Success Step-1: Apply inexpensive digital marketing.
The 5 Steps so you can build your Gig business to the next level and experience your optimal income.
Step-1: Use inexpensive digital marketing.(Yes, for local small businesses, you can “set it and forget it” to get your BIG DATA too.)
Step-2: Know your CLAN and build them up.(Get to KNOW THEM WELL.)
Step-3: Automate and outsource to streamline processes to reduce wasted activity and space.(Think Disney or McDonald’s.)
Step-4: Scale your business.(E.g. A local bakery can sell an online eBook with recipes and Ideas for Entertaining.)
Step-5: Enjoy your Gig business optimal freedom lifestyle.(Your goal is a 4-Hour Work Week.)
Nobody said it would be this hard… (What I hear from Giggers.)
The crazy thing is the digital marketing techniques and tools can make it so easy and save so much time if they just learn and implement them.
If you’re not succeeding like you want in your Gig business and living your optimal lifestyle… Could it be that the system or path you’re taking is far too complex? 
What usually happens with overly complex systems?
Well, they create too much friction. For example, when I first began promoting my coaching / mentoring with digital marketing, I struggled. Now that struggle is what I help my clients prevent as they promote their own small businesses.
As my client Alex asked me a while back, “Warren, how do keep knowing all the problems I will run into before I do?” The answer, “Because I have run into those problems too.”
After training, teaching, consulting, and coaching clients on 5 continents for 30 years, I have learned that learning how to do something is quite different from knowing how to do it.
With too much friction, we eventually just throw our flustered hands up in the air. With 1,001 things piled up in front of us to handle, plus dealing with one tech headache after another… We’ll just give it up all together.
The “trick” is to flip this process around the other way, and use OVERLY SIMPLE systems…
  • Make sense?
  • With a simple plan.
  • Things get done.
  • Results and sales come in.
  • Remember the ol’ K.I.S.S principle: Keep. It. Simple. Silly.
Because “simple plans” are the best way to a lifestyle friendly biz you can run in your spare time.
Hope this helps!
Plant your trees by developing yourself by learning techniques and tools. It’s simple, only because all the complexity of the business, like hiring staff, setting up support, and websites, and landing pages, etc. etc. etc., can be automated or outsourced  for you.
More, by using inexpensive digital marketing techniques, you can gather information about your clients as you promote your Gig business. That information can be the seed you plant to grow your tree of plenty.

Developing yourself. Exercise #9:
As a Gigger in the global Gig economy, what tree can you plant (digital marketing technique or tool) to give you more time to develop yourself and have your Gig Flow experiences?
Look at these examples of ways Giggers say planted their tree to have time to feel fully engaged developing themselves.
  • I earned to use the Buffer scheduler to automatically post my social media
  • I have learned to video record my bakery decorating ideas and posting them on YouTube
  • I learned Google Hangouts to have live chats with customers and answer many questions at one time
Write 3 Gigger idea trees could you plant to have time to feel fully engaged developing yourself?
  1. –
  2. –
  3. –
Look at your list and attack 1 (only one at a time but do plant every month) idea to apply this week:
  1. Write your your idea.
  2. List steps you see to adopt digital media to make time to develop yourself.
  3. Give yourself a metric to measure progress. (Ex: I will set a customer chat to answer everyone’s questions.)
  4. Reward yourself after you have completed your steps to plant your tree.
Debrief: The point here is to get over your own “NO, I can’t,” response and develop yourself so you can have your business success and your optimal lifestyle.
If you are looking at this exercise and saying, “this feels awkward,” that is good. The important part is you will get used to it, as your life, family, and business depend on it.

Engagement background of Optimal Engagement Lifestyle
As a trainer and university lecturer in the USA, I had great success in my coaching, training, and classrooms by engaging my learners in ways I had learned from my Dale Carnegie Instructor Training. (optimal engagement)
After earning my Doctoral Degree researching engaging instruction in adult education and training and development, I started a training business in Hong Kong.
But something was wrong, I was struggling in this new culture (I’m a cattle rancher’s son from Colorado, USA) to find ways to inspire and motivate my coachees and students in Hong Kong.
With my coachees and in the classroom, I preferred having clients engage in learning activities instead of just talking. This is especially effective to keep clients engaged between coaching calls.
I struggled through trying several paper worksheets and workbooks to guide students, but I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. (junk engagement)
When the smart phone with the ability to search the internet came along, I could see my clients were curating (i.e. searching, finding, collecting, commenting, changing, remixing, and sharing.)
I thought, “Why not do that for learning?”, so I started asking them to answer questions, interact with information and colleagues, and go find examples of the learning content using their mobile devices.
eWorkbook development and success
I began searching for possibilities and I struggled testing several apps, until we created best practices using eWorkbooks, and after testing them, began to use eWorkbooks as my clients always had their devices with them.
Then we used eWorkbooks (Google Forms with the training slides as well as interactive questions, curating links and tasks, example images and videos, etc.) This became powerful for my coaching clients as they were able to share ideas and get the benefits of social learning even though they were not in the training course or classroom.
My clients [Engaging Screenagers] completed eWorkbooks using their mobile devices as they were learning interactively while, at the same time, they were developing habits of learning with their devices (optimal engagement) instead of killing time with them. (junk engagement)
Students used eWorkbooks to while I lead the discussion and guided them, and after they submitted their answers, they would get their responses sent to their inbox so they could review their learning Moments of Growth. (optimal engagement)
Because the students’ responses from eWorkbooks go right into a spreadsheet in real-time, as the teacher I can monitor what students are doing to give them guidance in the moment, as well as track their learning develop over time.
Since those early days, I’ve had great luck supporting my coaching clients and entrepreneur friends use Google forms for 360° reviews for evaluations as well as use eBrochures and eMenus to test new ideas and actively engage and actively interact with customers.
All client info has been scrubbed of identifying information unless they have given me specific, written permission to quote them.

7 Keys Engaging Screenagers Best Improve Their Learning Time

7 Ways Engaging Screenagers Best Improve Their Learning Time In life it has been my experience that believing in yourself has more to do with success than most any other factor. Don’t you agree? When you believe in yourself then you make the decisions that support your success. Often, we hear complaints about how Engaging Screenagers (aren’t we all now) are not making the best decisions with their time, but are we helping them learn how to use their time for what’s most important? Are they learning to, as Stephen Covey says, “Put first things first?” The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change For example deciding not to play video games for hours on end (a few minutes for a break is great, but long term it becomes  junk-engagement)  can open those hours for hours on end of learning ( optimal engagement .)    In the following I will describe what I learned when I went back to Graduate school, but I realize (now) how important thes

Thinking/Talking vs. Trying/Feedback: Engaging Screenagers

Image
Thinking/Talking vs. Trying/Feedback: Engaging Screenagers Thinking/Talking I go to a lot of conferences with a lot of really smart people and there was something in I noticed way back when I first started attending those conferences. What I noticed is that many of those really smart people do a lot of thinking and talking and that and very little actual prototyping and trying to get feedback. In academia, we use the Scientific Method of research were we create a hypothesis and then gather data that either supports or does not support our hypothesis. This process inherently takes a long time to complete, and as the world is changing so quickly, at times the research can be outdated before it is published.  (junk engagement) Interestingly I’ve seen lot of research on what they call the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and yet very little of that research is actually used by teachers in the classroom. What I’m wondering is, shouldn’t that research be benefitting

4 Steps To Curate A Safe Place To Fail: Engaging Screenagers

4 Steps To Curate A Safe Place To Fail: Engaging Screenagers In school, don’t we teach students they are to give the right answer or they fail? In life, don’t those who fail the most become the most successful? Aren’t we somehow missing the picture in education? Isn’t there a way to let students learn that failing is just learning what doesn’t work? Why is this important? Michael Jordan and Jack Ma are both famous for failing and they are both quite successful because they learned to turn failure into learning and kept trying.
