Episode 4, Video 1: How can you trust that you can do what you love & the money will follow?

DateMarch 9, 2010

If you couldn't guess by the title of this episode, March's theme is all about MONEY! But before we dive in, let's reveal the winners of our February giveaways, who don't need money to buy these awesome prizes (like how I made that connection?)!:

Week 1 - 2 sets of Practice Kindness Window Cards: Meggy & Clara both win a set! Woo to the hoo!

Week 2 - A copy of The Happy Book: Congrats to Ashley!

Week 3 - Another set of Practice Kindness Window Cards goes to Kate!

Week 4 - Amanda wins the last set of Practice Kindness Window Cards! Yay hooray!

Guys, I gotta say we had great odds last month. Make sure to keep commenting this month, as 1 person will win 3 Bright Side necklaces designed by Jess LC for Carolyn's Compassionate Children!

Won't it be nice to keep one for yourself & give the other 2 away to the people you love/want to thank/think are awesome? (Please note that was a hypothetical question)

OK, back to the main event: the next Spring installment! We changed the look a bit (thumbs up? thumbs down? let us know!) & there is no more ringing - hallelujah & amen! Hopefully we've also solved The Case of the Sometimes Unable to be Viewed Video, but if you can't see it, please let us know. We're doing our best to get to the bottom of this!

So, without further adieu: How can you trust that you can do what you love & the money will follow?

Episode 3, Video 4: is support mandatory for success?

DateMarch 1, 2010

 

Hello everyone! Happy March! I gotta tell ya, I think we must all truly have Spring on the brain, because we were supposed to post this video last week, and it just didn't happen! Eek. So sorry! I don't know what to say other than that the cold weather has certainly taken its toll on my brain, and I imagine there are many others like me out there!

So, please forgive our tardiness in getting this last episode about SUPPORT out to you. Pretty please? :)

We also have one more giveaway for the month of February (and the beginning of March now!)-- it's another set of Practice Kindness Window Cards, so make sure you check out the third video in this support series to see what they're all about! Comment below to win-- we'll be picking the 4 February winners in just a few days, so you'll want to check back when we post our first video in March all about MONEY to see if you're one of the 4 winners. Yay for winning!

{Oh, and ps-- our March videos sound SO MUCH BETTER. We apologize again for the annoying ringing in the background!}

Sprout Out Loud: Jessica from 'What I Wore' on Non-Supporters

DateFebruary 25, 2010


Good morning! Today we have some exciting news. We are launching a new series for Spring called Sprout Out Loud, where we tap awesome writers, bloggers, and creative people to weigh in on a question we address in our weekly videos. Our hope is to add to the conversation and see what we can learn and share with you, our dear readers.

Today's Sprout Out Loud features Jessica Schroeder of What I Wore. Her fashion blog is extremely popular, and has now become Jessica's full-time career(!!). With such an intensely popular blog, she has decided to share on the topic of non-supporters we spoke about last week. Please watch the video above to hear her perspective on the subject.

Thank you, Jessica, for your time and for sharing such an inspiring and optimistic way to look at those who may not encourage us.

Episode 3, Video 3: How do you deal with Non-Supporters?

DateFebruary 16, 2010

Hello hello! Welcome to the 3rd February episode of Spring, all about support! Today we're actually spinning things around a bit and talking about NON-supporters. How do you deal with people that just don't get what it is that you're doing? Do the amount of non-supporters grow as you reach higher levels of success? Listen in to hear what we have to say about this nitty-gritty topic! And hopefully this video will work better than the one last week.... we so appreciate your patience with all our technical challenges, you guys! We promise that next month the videos are going to look and sound waaaaay better! (We recorded them yesterday, so I can say that with certainty!)

 

 

Also, this week we're giving away another set of "Practice Kindness Window Card Collections," so leave us a comment to be entered into this giveaway! We'll pick winners for all the March giveaways at the beginning of April, so stay tuned.

"Practice Kindness Window Card Collection" description from Compendium: You have the power to brighten someone’s day. Send your husband out the door with a kiss and one of these 30 Practice Kindness Window Greeting Cards. Leave one with a friend to lift her spirits. Has someone been kind to you? Pass that feeling on with a Practice Kindness pop open card. Whoever you give one of these treasured cards to, the card is sure to encourage kindness in others. Cards "pop" open to reveal a message inside. Each box contains 30 unique cards.

DateFebruary 9, 2010

{UPDATE 02.11.10: We are so sorry that the videos haven't been working for many of you! We posted a video from a new source at the BOTTOM of this post-- if the one directly below isn't working, please try the one at the very bottom and let us know if that works for you! Again, we're so sorry, and we truly appreciate you putting up with our technical challenges!}

 

Yay for posting weekly videos! Aren't you guys glad that you have something meaty & juicy to sink your teeth to each & every Tuesday? No, I'm not talking about the weekly special at Kenny Rogers Roasters - I'm talking about Spring! While multiple feet of snow continues to get dumped in certain parts of the country & the weather is way below normal, we're bringing you some warmth in the form of the second support video. So kick back, relax, & cuddle up with those that support you -& if you don't know who they are, we'll help you figure it out. In this video, we talk about how to find your support system (both online & off), how to ask for support,  what to do with those supporters who don't reciprocrate, & even a personal (& scary!) challenge from Jess LC. When you're done watching the video, don't forget to read below it to find the direct links to stuff/people we referenced in this video, what this week's giveaway is, & other awesomeness (it's a Spring twitter account!). Then leave a comment to enter the giveaway! Geez Louise Louise,  we're making you work hard this week!

 

Direct Links to Stuff/People We Referenced:

Additional Awesomeness:

We're now on Twitter! Yes, we are all super Twitterholics (we think that's how we all met, after all. We think.) & decided to open a Spring twitter account in additional to our personal ones. So, follow us at @SpringInspire! It'll be pretty & fun & a good time for all.

Week Two February Giveaway:

Comment on this week's video to win your own personal copy of The Happy Book! Really, I have to convince the other gals to let me enter. This is getting ridiculous.
