This week has been busy and eventful! I went to a blogging workshop that focused on planning for 2017. It was a great workshop and really made me realize that I know a lot of things. Most of the lessons and topics covered, I already knew. So I know more than I think! Nice epiphany right? You ever feel like that? Like you may not know a lot but then you go to a seminar or something and you're saying, "Wow, I could've totally taught that class." In other news, I met Daymond John!! He is the founder of FUBU, an apparel brand "for us, by us" and he is one of the hosts of ABC's Shark Tank. He also wrote a book about using scarcity as an advantage. Super down to earth and cool guy. And I played it cool, but in my head, I totally geeked out because you know, Daymond John. :) #dayjobperks On the biz front, I'm working on a list of things to update on the techbizgurl.com site and having discussions with my designer.

Where are you feeling stuck? Do you have any frustrations blogging or building your online business? Are there things you like or dislike about #jesspicks? Things you want to see more of? Less of?

This Simple Life-Changing Technique Can Help You Achieve 10x Results — medium.com I can't tell you how many times I have read about the Pomodoro technique in the past 4 weeks.

How to craft a fail-proof, killer blog post promotion strategy — meerakothand.com My plan is to write 12 blog posts this year (#blog12). With the extra time, I'm hoping to really create a strategy around promoting these posts - the new ones and the old ones. Meera has some great suggestions in this article.
