Hi, it's Lucy. And I have just dropped my son at nursery and I thought it's a good chance
to start talking to you about my vlog that I'm just doing. So, today's vlog is all about
launching my membership site, which basically went live last night. And it was supposed
to go live at 9 o'clock, but there was a glitch in the Facebook system because I'm beta testing
it for Facebook. Oh I'm squeezing past some cars. And, so I was up at till about 2:30
a.m. and my son was up at 5 a.m. so I'm pretty pooped, but I'm excited coz it's gone live.
So, what can I tell you about the membership site. Well, it is jampacked full of all kinds
of goodies. There's gonna be you know, lots of video training in there. There'll be weekly
Q & A sessions with me, we'll have an expert or do a kind of theme every month. So, this
month we're gonna be doing PR and then we'll move forward with like obviously video things.
Plus also, there'll be lots of stuff like Pinterest or social media or podcasting, whether
or not your podcast challenge. So, all kinds of things we're gonna be doing and I would
love you to be part of it. So, as we go down here, I've definitely picked I picked a quiet
street as I could walk home. I, as I was walking home, I dropped my son for nursery and I was
just walking home and who do I, who walk past me as I'm doing this? Benedict Cumberbatch.
I could have asked him to be in it, starring row with Benedict Cumberbatch, but maybe maybe
he might say, hmmm talk to who? Being on a vlog with Lucy, which would you prefer? Hmmm
good question. Anyway, I will see you in a little bit. Bye bye bye. Hi I'm back again.
And I'm home, I've done a bit of tidying of the house coz I am definitely someone who
I have to clear the closet before I can focus. And just with the crazy few days with the,
with the Facebook launch, you know, the membership sites. I definitely have been so focused on
just like doing that, and so just the boring mum stuff, live admin stuff that you have
to do. I have to say, I don't normally look like this. I was doing yesterday morning I
was doing a day of video training, and so I had a make-up artist come and do my hair
and make-up before I went to that. And she does this amazing eyelashes that stay on my
face, and so it means I can stay and I can do another day of filming, so I'll probably
do another day of filming a bit later on. The other thing that I'm doing today, obviously
like working on the membership site launch, and really focused on that. All the content
is there but I just want to make people feel really welcome and special, and focus on that.
But I've got two new projects I'm gearing up for kind of the final three months of the
year, and my final three months the two objectives is growing the membership site, launching
my new group program, and I've actually got four. And then da-da-da-da-da my podcast.
so, I've got a Rode, this is my Rode mic. So this is like, I'm working on my podcast
with a, and actually he's an old friend of mine from like about 20 years ago. And he
was, a wiz radio anorak. So this is when I worked in local radio and he was like completely
obsessed with local radio, and there are people who work in the radio industry who are probably,
they're almost like train spotters. I don't want to offend radio people coz they're lovely
lovely people, but they kind of have that obsessive tendency, and he definitely is in
the category of obsessive, but in a brilliant way. And I love, he umm, he doesn't work for
global radio anymore, but I love global radio has a mission statement, which I think he's
he's got Ashley Tabor, the guy who is like a now multibillionaire, who runs global radio
amongst other stations. And he talks about is of a mission statement, he has an obsessive
statement. And I think that's really important for everybody and everybody's business but
particularly in radio people get really obsessive. So why am I saying that because actually,
these are the people who can really help with building my podcast. And so I'm working with
Steve and he's gonna be producing my podcast for me which is really great. And I'm producing
other people's podcast as well, so you know we're gonna have a really high level of expertise
like people who really have been, know this stuff and have been working in the radio industry
for 20 years. And a very closely forward things like the UK podcasting awards, and you know
all of those things which can really take you to the next level when it comes to podcast.
So that's, that's one of my objectives. The other objective is writing my book. So writing
a book, I have had books that I have, I'm really ashamed to say this. I have a book
that is completely written, that sits on my hard drive, that I wrote about 15 years ago
and and I, I sent to one agent, and I didn't hear back and I basically gave up. And so
this time, I've got myself a publishing coach, the amazing Jessica Kellingley who is gonna
really make me crack the whip and make me do this. And so, I am gonna start mapping
out, I'm gonna spend two hours today mapping out my book and really getting that strategy
before I meet with her next week, so I'm excited about that. So those are the key things that
are coming up for me in the next few months. What's coming up for you? It's really important
like as you go into each quarter, it really helps to kind of plan out your year into quarters.
And so if you have like crazy time which I've just had, and then you have a bit of like,
okay down time in order to plan and prep. And so for my final quarter of the year, it's
gonna be really focused on those four objectives that I've talked about. And if you have too
many things, it's overwhelming and I definitely felt overwhelmed in the last few months. So
they're my key objectives. Obviously there's you know, there's lots of clients to please
and there's lots of you know social media to do and all those other things, but they're
the key four pillars that I'm gonna be focused on. And so if I can achieve those by the end
of well, by Christmas time, I'm gonna be a very happy bunny. So, what's this space, I'm
gonna be typing typing typing, and if you would like to be on podcast, if you can suggest
anyone you would like to be interviewed on the podcast, I would love to hear from you.
Okay. Thank you so much for watching. Bye bye bye.
