-Are you using Goodreads? -How do you use Goodreads? -Do you use to it learn from the reviewers on what to work on to improve your fiction writing? - Do you know what a KPI is?  These things and more are covered in this fun new Own Your Greatness Episode with my 19-year-old niece Sienna Krieg. We each had a different process that we mentioned of using Goodreads as a writing tip tool. Here is Sienna's process: 1. Picked a book she hasn't read  2. Read a 5 star review 3. Read a 1 or 2 star review Sienna is looking for a book to read and also learning about writing.  Here is Melinda's process: Picked a book she has read and didn't like (you can do this in the opposite fashion)  Read a 1 or 2 star review (b/c they likely would be in alignment in viewpoint) With the same reviewer- read a 5 star review- which would be on another book being that it's from the same reviewer.  Melinda is trying to learn what her audience (the reviewer in this case as a model) looks for in "good writing" for her genre as she is writing a book now and created KPIs as a measurable writing tool.  Use these examples to copy or create your own! It's fun and a great way to learn.  Shout out and thank you to these Goodreads reviewers we mentioned: Ali L, Heather X, Clace, Rowan, Manas Sienna Krieg is a Freshman at DePauw University majoring in Communications. Sienna Krieg is also a freelance writer for her school newspaper, a blogger on Medium.com and also helps with other social media channels. https://medium.com/@melindavf https://medium.com/@SiennaKrieg Connect with Melinda further at www.melindavanfleet.com Thank you for listening!

Guilt is a low hanging frequency that everyone deals with on some level. Feelings of guilt can lead to mental health challenges, depression, health issues and more. As an entrepreneur, it can show up in a lot of ways and affect your business. Businesses have made a fortune (esp. some religious groups, cults, and churches) off of manipulating people to feel guilty. Guilt can also affect your relationships and life in general. It is a big issue no one is talking about and we crack the conversation wide open. This YouTube video conversation with my husband Capt. Ryan Van Fleet of Good Karma Sportfishing & Coaching starts to unveil a lot of conversations that show up internally regarding guilt that no one talks about. Feeling guilty for not feeling guilty is one of them. I share a personal story about not being in alignment with a company I was consulting with. The Frequency Scale is a great visual tool to help kick your butt to stop living on autopilot and create awareness around your feelings. I shared this on my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@melindavanfleet407 Ryan and I hope this helps you raise your frequency or even not feel so bad about feeling guilty because it's also a sign that you have initiative and give a crap about your life and business.

Have you ever thought about the general context and narratives about words that are being used all the time now such as: healthy, success, freedom, and abundance? And then how they are used in marketing, social media, etc.) in conjunction with what happens to our belief system? judgment? relationships? The vast majority do not think about it. Hence, it seeps into their subconscious and creates patterns that they don't even see/recognize.

How strong are you at taking a stand on what you believe in? And showing up in that energy consistently? Truth be told many are not. And many coaches/experts talk about alignment and this is a huge piece. And if you are not paying attention to this, it could be a reason why you are stuck and your business is not moving forward. Other YouTube examples I mention— Joe Rogan, Megyn Kelly, Candance Owens, Piers Morgan, Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson and their huge followings—there is a reason they are crushing it. So it's time to unapologetically stand up for what you believe in. Don't shy away from a little controversy. Stir the pot, make some noise, understand not everyone will agree with you or like you. That's okay. In this podcast episode I also talk about an AI poll I did on LinkedIn, WeGovy commercial that has people being "sheep", Ozempic, and Hers.com. Here is the article I mentioned about Ozempic babies: https://globalnews.ca/news/10536768/ozempic-babies-explained/ The Wake-Up Call Podcast Episode 5 is about how I was Catfished by someone who uses AI for commenting.

With all the marketing coaches, experts out there in the land... It's easy to get swept up in someone else's excitement and the box of what worked for them vs. what you are truly excited about and what your destiny is. Personal Development questions to ask yourself for clarity and direction are: —What are my core values? —What do I want? —What inspires me? —What am I good at? This episode of The Wake-Up Call Podcast explores this narrative, FOMO Marketing in conjunction with a lesson learned (mistake) we (my husband Ryan Van Fleet and I) made in our sportfishing business many years ago—Good Karma Sportfishing and Coaching. We got caught up in trying to emulate strategies that we thought would lead to higher visibility and success. However, these approaches didn't align with our true passion and strengths. It was a costly lesson but an invaluable one that taught us the importance of staying true to our core values and what genuinely excites us. By shifting our focus back to our authentic selves, we found a more fulfilling path that not only resonated with us but also attracted the right kind of clients for our business. This journey underscores the significance of self-awareness and intentionality in any venture you undertake. So, if you're feeling disoriented by the myriad of marketing tactics out there, take a moment to reflect on your core values and your unique strengths. What truly excites you? What kind of impact do you want to make? Staying aligned with these answers will guide you toward a path that feels not only successful but also deeply satisfying. Ultimately, the essence of our story is about alignment. Aligning your business strategies with your core values and passions isn't just a lofty ideal—it's a practical guide to sustainable success. When you pursue what genuinely excites you and tap into your unique strengths, your work becomes more than just a job; it transforms into an extension of who you are. This alignment attracts opportunities that are a good fit and fosters a work environment where you can thrive. Furthermore, this journey also enhances resilience. When you're rooted in your core values, you're more equipped to navigate setbacks and challenges, as your motivation comes from a deeper, more enduring source. In retrospect, our experience with the sportfishing business was not just a lesson in marketing but a profound reminder of the power of authenticity. As you embark or continue on your own entrepreneurial path, remember to periodically reassess and realign with your core values. The marketplace is ever-changing, but grounding your strategies in what truly matters to you will provide clarity and direction. Embrace the continuous evolution of your business as a journey in discovering and expressing your true self. Thank you for listening!

Have you ever found yourself ignoring a little voice in your head and you override it thinking: You should be doing something, Continuing something  Or  Maybe it's a relationship that needs to end?

How are you showing up in your business? The majority of what's taught out there is that you should hire out or delegate. The reason why is often because they are trying to sell their service. But then you do a deep dive and realize the majority of successful entrepreneurs have made that mistake and been burned. The VA or person quit, robbed from them, or didn't perform as hired. These are huge learnings and this is a Wake-Up Call to that. So, It's important to understand why you would do that and in conjunction also know how to do things yourself. Especially, your website and content creation i.e. social media, YouTube, blogging, etc. Your voice is important in conjunction with creating interesting "non-vanilla" content so you stand out in the bloody ocean. This is the tip of this iceberg but a very important and powerful conversation with my husband Ryan Van Fleet of Good Karma Sportfishing and Coaching. Enjoy!

Have you ever had someone say to you, "Leave your ego at the door?" How did that make you feel? Confused?  Fearful? Wanting to be silent and not speak up? This week on The Wake Up Call Podcast, my husband Captain Ryan Van Fleet of Good Karma Sportfishing and Coaching joins me for this powerful conversation about ego. I found this on Google: According to Freud, the ego can be defined as the conscious part of the psyche that mediates between the demands of the id, which represents unconscious impulses, and the demands of the external world. The balance of the information I found on Google was about ego and arrogance. we dive further into this concept in relation to co-creation and The Universe. Stay tuned for more powerful conversations as this is your wake-up call. Thanks for listening and sharing!
