Here are some highlights from this two part discussion:
- Sandra shares about how she was running into so many business owners how to use the social profiles, and who didn’t have an online presence.
- Many successful people still do not have an online presence to match their message
- Business today is about global and working from anywhere, not limited to local. An online presence establishes you and validates your credibility.

Amanda Abella is a Writer, Motivational Speaker, Career and Business Coach, who authored the book, “Make Money Your Honey.” Her advice was featured in Huffington Post, Chicago Tribune, and Forbes. She is also a friend of Coach Jennie, one of episode 48 guests. I first saw Amanda on an episode of All Things Career (shout out to @KevinKermes), and I remembering liking the interview. Jennie was so generous in suggesting a guest, so when she mentioned Amanda, I asked if Jennie could introduce us. The rest, as they say is history.
Highlights of our discussion:
- Lack of financial control skews our career view and limits our choices
- What does financial freedom mean? It means different things to different people
- Financial freedom means making the right choices, not necessary sacrifices
- Out of control debt puts people in a situation where the wrong career is realized after chasing money
- The view of the debt or someone else’s view can affect your decision, and are affected by not having his or her conviction about finances

Sandra and I resume discussing the importance of having an online presence and potential components such as, published articles, press, blogs, PowerPoint Presentations on Slide Share, YouTube, and more. In this segment, we discussed:
- It won’t be feasible to all that we suggested, but test what may be cost-effective to achieve a result ROI (Return on Investment)
- Your online presence is easier now than ever before especially with YouTube or audio content such as podcasting
- The world is in the mobile space now so your online presence must reach users in a way that is convenient for potential followers, clients, or employers
- Google plus is a very viable option to build an online presence because of the tools such as YouTube, Google Hangouts, Google Drive, and your content presence showing in Google results
