How to Leverage Creative Card Decks for Your Business with guest Rosie Battista

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve thought of creating my own card decks over the last 10 years. But the logistics of manufacturing them baffled me and, frankly, I was too preoccupied with other projects to stop and research the all the ins and outs. Yet the idea of having my own special card deck was never far away.

So I was super excited when I learned about Rosie Battista in a Facebook group to which we both belong. This week’s Fast Action Fridays guest is the Queen of Card Decks. Not only is Rosie well-versed in designing and publishing card decks, she’s an excellent instructor for those looking to do it themselves. Frankly, at this stage of my career, I’m planning to take advantage of Rosie’s done-for-you option when the time comes.

Still, there’s the issue of deciding what type of card deck to create, as well as how to integrate it into my marketing plans. Rosie shares that and more in this week’s episode.

That’s what happened recently when I responded Kimberley Wiggins’ call for help in the Love People and Make Money Facebook group to which we both belong. I had the pleasure of meeting Kimberley Wiggins in person August of 2018 at Kelly McCausey’s Exposure & Profit 5 event in Atlanta. Since then our paths have crossed cyber lanes here and there.

It was late night. Kimberley had just learned her scheduled marketing coach guest had backed out. Two other guests were already scheduled for the episode set to record next afternoon, and the show’s format relied on having a separate mindset coach and a marketing coach, in addition to the featured “hot seat” business woman volunteer.

5 C’s of Service Success with guest John McClung, Jr.

By Kat Sturtz Leave a Comment

My Fast Action Friday’s guest today is John McClung Jr. One topic John’s passionate about is doing the right thing for the right reasons. That includes making practical choices about displaying common courtesy, taking responsibility for one’s actions, and helping your fellow human beings.

What John shared during our interview, in his charming, high-energy way is not new. It’s centuries-old down-to-earth advice that far too many individuals these days dismiss the importance and benefit it can be to their success. It’s about showing up in our lives, being kind, and accepting responsibilities for our choices.

Cindy Bidar’s online career has spanned multiple specialties, including content and copywriting, marketing and operations management, coaching, and consulting. She’s had the privilege of working with some of today’s most profitable online businesses, and has helped train 7-figure marketing teams and overseen the set up and management of hundreds of marketing and sales funnels.

Fun and Unusual facts about Cindy:

I am creeped out by sunflowers, and a couple of years after my sister passed away, I happened to mention that to a cousin, who told me my sister had been, too. I never knew we had that in common. 🙂
When I was in high school I wanted to be a writer, and I actually studied journalism briefly in college. Today I spend most of my time creating content, so I guess I was onto something even back then.
I have never seen the movie “The Princess Bride.”
I love to knit socks, but I don’t ever wear them, so I have a drawer full of hand-knitted socks that have never been worn.
