If you don’t follow us on Instagram (which you should - we’re hilarious), then you missed out on a particularly helpful #gablabtip of the week: Google posts. What are Google posts, praytell?

They’re the answer to your search optimization (SEO) dreams. Come nerd with us…

  • Go to Google My Business (don’t have a Google My Business account? Start here)

  • Click “Posts"

  • Write a post (about a promo, upcoming event, etc.) that will actually show up when people search your business!

  • Start with a photo

  • Write 100-300 words

  • Make the post an event, if it is one

  • And add a button (!!!)

Yes  - it’s that simple. When I Google “Gab Lab,” my business profile appears on the right-hand side, along with the post I just wrote. See for yourself in my Instagram video.

Right??? Nice job, Google.

Have you guys tried this? If so, let me know how it’s working for you in the comments section below.

ON THE BLOG:⠀ 21 Day Challenge - #1: Meditation⠀ After reading The Compound Effect - it really motivated me to take a look at practices that I wanted to start implementing as well as get rid of, in my life. So I’ve decided that I’m going to make this a series! So welcome to the first challenge.⠀ The challenge⠀ I decided the first habit that I wanted to develop was meditation. ⠀ Why that challenge⠀ “Meditation is a simple practice available to all, which can reduce stress, increase calmness and clarity and promote happiness.” According to a NYT article and lots of other sources.⠀ What I was currently doing⠀ I would set my alarm for 3 mornings of the week around 6:30am. I first would “wake myself up” by checking my email and instagram (which it did get my brain firing). Then I would lay in bed, put earbuds in, and turn on a guided meditation - aka - fell back asleep.⠀ What I wanted to do⠀ I knew that I needed to actually get out of bed but it's so hard for me to get up in the mornings, I hate the cold, and did I mention it's hard for me to get up in the mornings? ⠀ So I decided to confront the three things that were preventing me from getting my zen on:⠀ 1. Make it easier to get up:⠀ I set my alarm for 6:50 and allow myself one 10 minute snooze.⠀ I put the phone on the other side of the room so the act of getting up wakes me up (twice, once for the initial alarm, and then again after the snooze)⠀ I go the bathroom⠀ I fill up a glass of cold water, and drink half right away and bring the other half where I'm meditating⠀ Check out the rest of the article!⠀ 📷: from #letscamp2018 of @chillbabealma leading the meditation by the amazing photographer @momokofritz⠀ ⠀
Taken from @mscaitlinmoran letter to her daughter.⠀ Channeling a mix of this and some "courage to be disliked" from the last quote into my week. #benice
EXCEL 101 WEBINAR⠀ MELBOURNE TIME: 10:30 AM, Tuesday Sep 18⠀ CHICAGO TIME: 7:30 PM, Monday Sep 17⠀ coming up...⠀ -I promise I will use my hands a lot⠀ -I promise that I will raise my eyebrows very high and make my eyes very big ⠀ -I also promise these other thing:⠀ Deep Dive⠀ overall 101 of excel, tabs, formatting tools⠀ understanding how to create a database filter, using conditional formulas, sorting, great for anything that has multiple moving parts⠀ math - how to use diverse formulas, to understand the numbers of your business (literally any number, accounting, analytics, sales) and the ones I use the most frequently⠀ Templates⠀ We'll go over the templates that I use everyday and I'll show you how to take and run with them:⠀ -my Electronic Bullet Journal™ (jk on the ™, kind of)⠀ -Influencer Database⠀ -Accounting - with the Profit First %'s⠀ -Revenue Modeling⠀ -Financial projections⠀ -Sales Funnel Conversions⠀ Q+A⠀ Ask me anything. Literally. I'm an excel enthusiast and want you to be too.⠀ Here's the thing:⠀ -You can google how to use excel, but it's hard to know what's relevant to you, I'll show you how I use it everyday⠀ -Large corporations use excel and expect small business owners to know it and use it. Knowledge of excel is mandatory in the business world.⠀ -You won't find these templates anywhere else⠀ One of the sheets we'll be looking at is a database with 200+ Chicago Influencers in 2016. Although I'm just going to use this to show you formatting and organization, this database took me a very long time to create. I'm not making any promises on the current relevancy but you get where I'm going here...⠀ -This isn't an upsale to something bigger and greater. I'm giving you all my knowledge I have in 90 minutes, and some. Sure, I'll talk to you at the end about my 1:1 services but this isn't a gimmick to trick you into buying a bigger package.⠀ This Is Perfect For You If...⠀ -You want to learn more about how to maximize the powers of excel⠀ -You need to get better organized with your business⠀ -You are wanting to level-up your business⠀ I WANT YOU THERE!
