Build self-esteem using your mind

I was reading this article written by Aliza Pilar Sherman on how female business owners can build their self-esteem and while I liked some of the advice, I found it to be fluffy. The article suggested that the 3 ways women can build their confidence is to do what you're passionate about, surround yourself with happy people and ask for help.

Ummm...there's something missing here. In all of this, there's still one step thing that's being ignored.

In my Divapreneur's Mindset seminars, I teach women that the way they can become self-employed is to start thinking like an entrepreneur. In other words, if you don't sweep out the junk in your mind and start to visualize your own success, you will never be confident enough to launch your own business.

So, before including others in your quest to build your self-esteem, you have to clean your mind of your fears, your negative emotions and your self-defeating thoughts. No one can change you, except you.

Everything's back to normal

My goodness...four days to update one podcast. All because the company that hosts my podcasts took 48-hours to make it available for listening after I uploaded it last week Wednesday. Wow!

iTunes is now picking up the new feed, so is podcastpickle.com. I'm happy once again. My headache is now over.

So, there won't be a delay when I update the podcast again tomorrow as I'm using a new company to host my podcast files. So, we're back in the money folks.

Slight issue still

I've been trying for about 36-hours to upload my podcast and get my RSS feed to pick up the changes, but I'm having issues. First, the free host I was using to upload my podcast was acting all wonky. Because I don't want to have anymore headaches, I found a new un-free host to upload my podcasts to. After pointing my domain name to the new webhost's nameservers, I'm now having trouble getting my RSS feed to pick up the new changes.

Thanks to the caller who left a message on my comment line saying that the podcast isn't showing up on podcastpickle.com.

Arrggghhhh, this is one reason why I left the tech sector altogether. I hate these headaches.

More soon...

[update] Seems like iTunes isn't being updated with the new feed, nor is podcastpickle.com. I'm going to play around with a few more things, then if it's not solved, I'll have to call in a tech head.

It's coming...

Episode 002 is coming shortly. I can't login to my webhost to upload the podcast, so there's a slight delay. Hmmmmm....maybe this means I should go and sleep for a bit. Yeah, that's a novel idea indeed.

Or maybe I'll watch Star Wars Episode 6. Wait a minute, I guess I'd need the DVD. Okay, I'll go sleep. I definitely won't get 8-hours, but thankfully, I'm my own boss.
