[PR] TuneUp: Mindset: On Being Crazy and Embracing Fantasies To Build Success, With Sabina Hitchen

TuneUp: Mindset: On Being Crazy and Embracing Fantasies To Build Success, With Sabina Hitchen

Business creators are called a lot of things. Crazy. Delusional. A Hero. A Visionary.

How do you know when one of those names is right?

When you’re starting something, you’re dreaming big. Your worst fears are banging upside your boat constantly as frothy waves. Eventually, as you grow more confident with the undertaking, those waves of fears turn into lapping ripples gently hitting the boat, reminding the business creator to stay sharp and smart. To prepare for the worst while enjoying the sun and clear skies.

Tin Shingle’s Katie Hellmuth Martin and Press For Success’s Sabina Hitchen for a rare come-back tour on this TuneUp. Katie and Sabina created Tin Shingle together, and eventually flew away in different directions.

One of Sabina’s core strengths is recognizing the power in facing fears, discomfort zones, and supporting others. She believes: “Recognizing scary and stressful situations takes away some of their power.”

Katie and Sabina talked about how business creators must be crazy to make big things. Not everyone has these dreams. Not everyone makes the effort to take action on these visions.

“Everyone thinks it’s crazy until it’s done,” says Sabina.

Learn how to embrace your fantasies, face your fears, and experience what happens on the other side of the cloud of doubt.

[PR] TuneUp: The Insurrection: How Should Your Business Handle It Publicly? Discussion With Moraya Seeger DeGeare, MA LMFT

We interrupted our usual scheduled Office Hours for a live TuneUp with Moraya Seeger DeGeare, a licensed marriage counselor in NY and MN, certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy. Moraya and Katie (owner of Tin Shingle) live in Beacon, NY, and Moraya is one of the thought leader/guides that Katie has been following since the protests started in May.

Moraya is the granddaughter of Pete and Toshi Seeger who were leaders in the effort to bring about environmental change in the Hudson Valley region of New York. She grew up in a protest environment.

Moraya had put out a question to her Twitter following: "So I'm curious, do we unfollow all the influencers/food/mombloggers who are not pausing scheduled posts to acknowledge the domestic terrorism that happened this week? Or are we just forever side eyeing them with BIG trust issue energy?"

We reposted her question to Tin Shingle's Instagram, which prompted another question: does a business who is Black or Muslim or other races need to put up a statement right now? Would that further insight discomfort in their places of business? Do white-owned businesses have a special responsibility to put up a statement right now? Or open up to include further in their branding?

Which prompted more questions, like how should a business handle the insurrection, even if you did like some of the policies of the 45th president? Or if you are afraid of isolating or losing customers?

Moraya agreed to be our guest for for this TuneUp to answer this question, and more. As a person of mixed race, she has a Black perspective that she is contributing to this national conversation. Being that she is a relationship therapist, she knows how to dialogue from a vulnerable place. She tells Tin Shingle: "I thrive on deep vulnerability. Ask me any question in any way, it's OK to just roll with it and muddle through."

Sarah Shaw, the original Entrepreneurette, talks with Katie of Tin Shingle today to answer your burning questions about celebrity promotion.

  • Sarah connected with celebrities years ago, long before others were doing it. What has changed since then and now?

  • Influencer vs Celebrity: What is the difference?

  • Pay-to-Play: Do you need to pay a celebrity to wear or use your product?

  • Instagram and InstaStories: What should you do when a celeb thanks you in their Instagram? Or if they make a really cool InstaStory - and disappears?

  • Pick-A-Celeb: Will any celeb do? Or should you be picky?

  • Pitching: How to pitch them?

  • Gatekeepers: What are these and how do you get through them?
