What Makes You Shine: A Guide to Celebrate You

Michele Duwe from Miss Task | What Makes You Shine: A Guide to Celebrate You

As a small business owner, you wear so many hats—sometimes, it’s hard to see your true strengths and what makes you shine when you’re caught up in the daily grind. When this post goes live, it’ll be Thanksgiving here in the United States, my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving is about gratitude—being thankful for what we have and who we are. This year, I want to honor you: the entrepreneur, the risk-taker, the one who works so hard to make things happen. 

Today, we will celebrate you and the gifts you bring to your clients, your community, and your business. Honoring what brings you joy and makes your heart shine. On this day of thanks, let’s celebrate you and what makes you shine.

Remembering My Uncle Jim

As I mentioned, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Once, during an icebreaker, I was asked what my favorite meal was. This was a question I did not need to think about for a second, I blurted out my Uncle Jim’s Thanksgiving feast.

Jim would create the most delicious meal for all of us, blessed to grace his table.

Thanksgiving always brings back memories of my Uncle Jim. He made Thanksgiving shine for our family by creating the most amazing feast, year after year. Cooking was his way of bringing people together, his way of showing love and care. He had a gift and didn’t hesitate to share it with everyone around him. 

All the efforts in the kitchen came along with a smile and laughter. Without a doubt, feeding all of us made Jim shine. Writing these words brought tears to my eyes as I outlined this post.

There will always be a special place in my heart for this memory. Each Thanksgiving, we gather together, all attempting to recreate the beautiful feast Jim once provided for us. While we still have smiles and laughter. We miss the wonderful man I called my Uncle, and I pray for him and all the others I miss dearly.

I remember Jim telling us year after year about his dream of opening a restaurant to share his love for food. He did this! He built the restaurant himself around a brick pizza oven. He built this structure while working full-time. The restaurant was beautiful, with big windows allowing you to enjoy the landscape. He was proud to take us on tours to show his progress as he built it. His restaurant sits just outside town on his family’s land, nestled into the bottom of a bluff covered with trees and foliage. 

He brought his dream to life and left his 9 to 5—making our community better and brighter.

I’m thankful Jim was able to bless many with his culinary skills and warm personality. He welcomed everyone to the table, and many times, we gathered together around a table, giving thanks for our blessings.

Do You Take Time to Recognize What Makes You Shine?

When was the last time you stepped back to recognize your unique strengths? So often, we’re focused on what isn’t working or what needs fixing. But today, I want you to focus on what is working.

Appreciate all the uniqueness that you bring to each aspect of your life. Pause to celebrate what makes you shine.

If not, I’d like for you to do this. Spend time learning the unique qualities, knowledge, skills, and experience you bring to others in your life and business.

Celebrate Without Judgement

What are your God-given talents? Please do this without judgment. I get it; we can see your flaws easily. Today, I want you to look for what makes the light shine on you as an entrepreneur.

Do this from the place of understanding there are no “good” or “bad” qualities, only who you are.

Think from your heart: Where do you sparkle all over people because you truly understand your value?

Your Path is Unique

Here is good news for you. Your entrepreneurial path is unique—no one else has had your experiences, faced your challenges, or discovered your solutions. And that means no one else can offer exactly what you do. It could be how you connect with people, the passion you bring to your work, or the attention to detail that makes your services exceptional. These strengths are not small—they are exactly what someone out there needs.

Embrace your uniqueness

What makes you different from everyone else is your knowledge, interest, relationships you create, and what makes you smile.

Are you courageous enough to celebrate who you are without the “but” that quickly follows our greater qualities?

You know what I’m talking about, that “but” you put behind the thing you shine at doing.

Whatever makes you shine, take time to celebrate it. Find ways to appreciate all that makes you unique, and be grateful for all the ways you make a difference in your clients' lives. Celebrate your strengths, and let them shine through.

Please DM on Instagram with what makes you shine as a business owner.

Michele Duwe from Miss Task | Why Is Content Creation So Important For Your Coaching Business? (Content Creation Process)

Let me ask you this: Do I sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher—”Mwah wah wah wah mwah”—when I start talking about content creation systems or processes? Trust me, I get it. It can feel like a foreign language, especially when you're juggling your podcast and coaching business. Some of you might even wonder why creating more content is important. Does it really help with lead generation? Spoiler alert: It absolutely does.

So why does repurposing your content matter? As a health and wellness coach with a podcast, you’re already creating amazing content. But did you know that you can stretch that content further without reinventing the wheel? That’s where the magic happens. It’s time to uncover the benefits of repurposing your podcast episodes for other platforms.

Why Repurposing Your Podcast Content Matters

As a health and wellness coach with a podcast, you're already creating amazing content. But did you know you can stretch that content further without reinventing the wheel? It’s time to discover the benefits of repurposing your podcast episodes for other platforms.

1. Maximize Your Efforts

You’ve poured your heart into your podcast episodes. Why stop there? When you transform them into blog posts, social media content, or even videos, you're getting more mileage out of work you’ve already done. Personally, I love using Descript to create audiograms from my podcast episodes for social media.

2. Reach a Wider Audience

Not everyone consumes content the same way. Some people love listening to podcasts during their morning run, while others prefer reading a quick blog post with their morning coffee. When repurposing your content, you’re meeting your ideal client where they are, in the format they prefer.

3. Boost Your Visibility

Hello, SEO! Turning your podcast into written content helps improve your search engine rankings. The more quality content you have, the more opportunities people have to find you when searching for the solutions you provide. I didn’t realize how powerful SEO and keyword research were until I dove into it myself.

Does Repurposing Content Help with Lead Generation?

Let’s be real: we’re in business to make money. Sure, you want to make an impact, but to stay in business, you need lead generation and sales. So, how does repurposing your podcast content supercharge your lead generation?

  • SEO Benefits: Optimizing your written content helps your website rank higher in search results, driving organic traffic. And I’m guessing you’re not looking to run ads all the time, so organic traffic is key.
  • Social Media Engagement: Sharing quotes or highlights from your episodes on social media can attract new followers and potential clients.
  • Email Marketing: Don’t forget to let your email list know when a new podcast episode drops. Including a recap in your newsletter keeps subscribers engaged.
  • Lead Magnets: To encourage people to join your list, you can create freebies like checklists or guides based on your podcast topics. Remember: having one primary lead magnet is best to avoid spreading yourself too thin.

 

Simplifying the Content Creation Process

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Michele, this sounds like a lot of extra work.” But here’s the secret: having a content creation process actually saves you time and energy in the long run. The more organized you are, the less scattered you’ll feel. And the more you'll believe your dream is worth the effort—because we both know it is.

Let’s break down the process:

Step 1: Identify Who You Help

This one’s not a shocker. Before repurposing, get crystal clear on who you're speaking to and the problem you solve. Do they hang out on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or Pinterest? Knowing where they are helps you tailor your content for those platforms.

Step 2. Choose Relevant Topics

Your podcast topics should resonate with your audience and focus on the problems they’re actively looking to solve. Zoning in on your passion areas makes your content more authentic and impactful.

 

Step 3: Gather and Organize Your Content

Use your podcast transcripts as a starting point. Highlight key points, quotes, and insights that can stand alone as blog posts or social media updates. It's like mining for gold in the content you already created!

Step 4: Create Outlines

Outlines aren't just for new content—they're super helpful when repurposing, too. They help you organize your thoughts and ensure your repurposed content flows well and hits all the important points.

 

Step 5: Reword, Rewrite, and Refine

Transform your spoken words into written ones. Edit for clarity, add any additional insights, and tweak the language to suit the platform. Trust me, I’m wordy, so a lot gets cut when I write a blog post. Be clear and concise, whether for a blog, Instagram, or email.

 

Step 6: Edit and Revise

Take the time to review and polish your content. And hey, I'm not throwing stones here—typos happen to the best of us, even after multiple reviews! The goal is to make your content as clear and error-free as possible.

 

Step 7: Publish and Promote

Share your repurposed content on your blog, social media, and email it to your subscribers. And here’s the resourceful part—don’t be afraid to reuse and republish content later down the road. You can tweak it slightly change the images, and your audience won’t even notice that they’ve seen it before. We need to hear things so many times before they sink in, probably because, generally, we are doing two things at once.

Remember, your message deserves to be heard and read by those who need it most.

5 Steps To Creating Systems In Your Business That Save Time

Michele Duwe from Miss Task | 5 Steps To Creating Systems In Your Business That Save Time

As a holistic wellness coach, you're passionate about helping your clients achieve balance and vitality in their lives. But are you feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of your own content creation process? Do you find yourself scrambling at the last minute to pull everything together, only to miss essential steps and vow to never let it happen again? Yet here you are, stuck in the same cycle, realizing the need to create a content system in your business.

If this resonates with you, take a deep breath. It's time to transform your approach to content creation and establish a system that not only saves you time but enhances the quality of your services. Let's dive into five transformative steps to create a content system in your business that will revolutionize your online wellness coaching practice. By learning to create a content system in your business, you'll not only streamline your workflow but also consistently deliver value to your clients.

Why Focus on Creating Systems in Your Business?

Before we jump into the steps, let's address why a content system in business is crucial for your holistic wellness coaching practice. It's not just about saving time – it's about elevating your entire business operation. A well-defined system:

  • Efficiency: Well-designed systems save time and energy.
  • Consistency: Systems ensure reliable service quality across all client interactions.
  • Scalability: With solid systems, your business can grow without sacrificing quality.
  • Focus: Effective systems free you to concentrate on what truly matters – your clients' wellbeing.

Remember, your content is the cornerstone of your digital marketing strategy. From the moment someone discovers your holistic approach to long after they become a client, your content impacts everything – from social media posts to email marketing, and even how your website is organized.

One key area where creating systems can make a significant difference is in your content creation process. Let's explore a 5-step approach to creating content systems within your wellness coaching business.

Step 1: Identify Your Content Challenges

The first step in creating systems in your business is recognizing where improvements are needed. For many wellness coaches, content creation is a major pain point. Ask yourself:

  • Is your wellness content scattered across multiple platforms?
  • Do you struggle to consistently produce valuable content for your audience?
  • Are you missing opportunities to repurpose your best material?

Start by pinpointing the specific challenges you're facing. Are your wellness tips and coaching resources scattered across multiple platforms? Maybe you have meditation scripts on Dropbox, nutrition guides on Google Drive, and workout plans on your local hard drive. This disorganization can lead to lost hours searching for poorly named files and missed opportunities to repurpose valuable content. Identifying these challenges is crucial for creating systems that truly serve your business needs.

Step 2: Establish a Simple, Effective Workflow

Creating systems in your business doesn't have to be complicated. Begin with the basics and build from there. Consider all the steps involved in creating your content system for your business.

  1. Ideation: Brainstorming holistic wellness topics
  2. Planning: Developing a content calendar aligned with wellness trends
  3. Creation: Producing your content (blog posts, videos, podcasts)
  4. Refinement: Editing and enhancing your wellness advice
  5. Distribution: Publishing and promoting across various platforms

By breaking down your content process into these stages, you're taking a crucial step in creating systems in your business that promote efficiency and consistency.

Step 3: Organize Your Ideas

Keep an idea library to fuel your creativity. As a wellness coach, you might categorize ideas by different aspects of holistic health:

  • Nutrition and natural remedies
  • Mindfulness and meditation
  • Physical exercise and movement
  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Spiritual growth

A key aspect of creating systems in your business is establishing methods for capturing and organizing ideas. For wellness coaches, this might include:

  • Maintaining an idea library grouped  by wellness categories (nutrition, mindfulness, exercise, emotional health, etc.)
  • Using mind mapping tools to connect related wellness concepts
  • Setting up a system to record client questions for future content inspiration

Remember, the goal of creating systems in your business is to support your work, not complicate it. Choose organization methods that feel natural and enhance your creativity.

Develop a content calendar that rotates through these topics, ensuring you consistently address all aspects of holistic wellness.

Step 4: Plan Your Content Creation and Promotion

Break down your content creation into manageable tasks. For example:

  • Mondays: Script out your wellness podcast or YouTube video
  • Tuesdays: Record content
  • Wednesdays: Edit and prepare for publication
  • Thursdays: Write accompanying blog posts or social media content
  • Fridays: Schedule and promote across platforms

Remember, promotion isn't always about selling. It's about engaging your audience, encouraging them to join your wellness community, or inspiring them to take small steps towards better health.

Step 5: Measure and Refine Your System

Creating systems in your business is an ongoing process. Set clear metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of your content. This could include:

  • Engagement rates on social media
  • Email list growth
  • Client inquiries generated from specific content pieces
  • Positive feedback or testimonials related to your wellness advice

Use these insights to continuously refine your content strategy and better serve your holistic wellness audience.

Tools to Support Your Business Systems

Leverage technology in creating systems in your business. Consider using tools to visualize and manage your content flow:

  • Mind mapping tools like MindMeister or Canva for brainstorming
  • Project management tools like Asana, ClickUp, or Trello for organizing tasks
  • Tango, a Chrome plugin, for easily documenting your content creation processes

These tools can significantly streamline your workflows, demonstrating how technology plays a crucial role in creating systems in your business.

Time To Wrap This Up

By implementing these steps, you'll create a powerful content system that allows you to focus on what you do best – guiding your clients towards holistic wellness and vibrant living.
