Listen in to a personal Q & A my team and I had with Dr. Cheryl Robinson, Founder of Ready2Roar, and Contributor at ForbesWomen. She is telling us all about the good, the bad, and the ugly pitches she has received and giving us advice on what is behind a great pitch. She provides us with the great perspective of what it is like being on the receiving end of pitches. You will be shocked to hear how many pitches she receives a month! Have you ever wondered what the media, or specifically writers, are looking for when they receive a pitch? What makes them read (or not read!) a pitch? And what should you include (or leave out!) of a pitch? Listen in to get all the juicy details straight from a writer herself! Not only is Dr. Cheryl a ForbesWomen contributor, she is also an international speaker, podcast host, creator of “Embrace the Pivot”, and founder of Ready2Roar. She has experienced many highs and lows being an entrepreneur. She takes all her experiences, learns from them and helps others bounce forward and embrace their pivots.

There is a lot to be said for implementing something because you know that it already works or because you learned it from someone else- that can save a lot of time and energy. But what if it doesn’t actually save time and energy? What if you could be doing it a different way that makes your processes and practices more efficient? Since things change so fast in industries, best practices, and technology, we need to make sure that we are checking to see if we need to be changing the way we do things so that we are still efficient and getting the best results. Let’s not get stuck in doing things the same way just because that’s how it’s always been done. Let’ reinvent the wheel! In this episode, you will hear: -Why you should “reinvent the wheel” -Questions to ask yourself to find ways to be more efficient -Things to think about to help you be more efficient and effective My challenge to you this week is to think about some of your basic and every day processes and some of the big things as well to see if there are ways you can be more efficient and get better results.
