Top 3 Value Bombs
1. The key is not cash, the key is passion. Authenticity matters because if you’re doing something that is authentic to you, then the audience would know that it’s authentic to them.
2. Nowadays, the content itself is the variable, not the number of followers, because the merit of the creative is the game and that level of underpriced attention where there is no cost for distribution.
3. The world is selling so much negativity. You have a huge opportunity. If you’re passionate about anything, the opportunity to be great in organic social media to start the process of you living a happier and professional life is now more real.

Top 3 Value Bombs

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. The intention is more important than goal setting.
2. It is not one-way-fits-all for everyone. You have to create a path by walking your path.
3. Your vision will carry you forward, and it will energize you to achieve your goal.

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. If you are really dialed into who your audience is, what their likes are, what their interests are, you could pull in affiliates that would make a lot of sense for them and their lifestyle or their business.
2. When you're utilizing the podcast as just a piece of your business, it doesn't take up as much time and energy and you're not giving it the concentrated effort and realizing the value that it really could be. It is the relationship builder of all builders.
3. Your message matters and that your voice does not get lost in the void of the podcast world. You have a unique authority. You have a unique superpower and skill, and your people need to hear from you.

Phyllis Khare is an Author, Coach, Adjunct Faculty, Mentor, Co-Founder, Course Creator, Content Director, Marketing Coach. She enjoyed a long career in online marketing and continue to enjoy working with a few select influencers.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. You learn things through time to help you build the business. It was all about really listening to what people wanted and then building those things.
2. Your life is a journey, and there are chapters in your life, and what you're doing right now is not necessarily what you're going to be doing 10 years from now. You might have some inkling of what is on the horizon by where your attention is going and what you're drawn to.
3. Negotiate. Look into the value of your business before you pitch a number that you think is appropriate.
