Do Small Businesses Need to Do Content Marketing?

In my current online circles, I’ve been running into a lot of small, heart-centered business owners who are confused about how to market their offerings online. While I left my old SEO world in 2013 in part because I felt that most people finally knew all of the marketing wisdom I had to share, I […]

What I Learned Leading My First Online Transformation Program

Jill Whalen — Wed, 04 Mar 2015 00:50:44 +0000

Last week my first stab at leading a 7 week online transformation program came to an end. For me, it was nerve-wracking, exciting, scary, fun, interesting, a great learning experience, and a whole lot more, all wrapped into one! How it was for the participants, I’m not entirely sure. So far I’ve had feedback from a few who […]

Marketing is Not Evil

Jill Whalen — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:01:25 +0000

By Jill Whalen Back in 2011 when I was still heavily entrenched in my website marketing career, I wrote this article wondering why people thought Deceptive Marketing Was a Necessary Evil. Throughout my career I had seen examples of marketing through “white lies” such as those mentioned in the article, which always seemed like a bad idea to […]

Jill Whalen — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 21:29:25 +0000

Now that I’m immersed in topics such as health, fitness and spirituality, I can’t help but notice some areas where bloggers could be doing a better job spreading their message. Interestingly, I see the same problems from blog to blog, which indicates that many may be simply copying what their peers do. I expect that there’s also some […]

Changing How We Relate To Others

Jill Whalen — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 19:04:36 +0000

Have you ever thought someone was mad at you only to find out they were just worried about something completely unrelated to you? I remember an experience like that one day many moons ago when I was in college. The hypochondriac in me was worried about some non-existent health issue, and therefore I was being more […]

Following Your Intuition as You Navigate Through Life

Jill Whalen — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 16:49:12 +0000

We’ve all had “gut feelings” about people or things at some point in our lives. I’m sure you can think of times where you had positive experiences when you listened to your gut, and negative ones when you didn’t. How many times have you thought something like “I knew shouldn’t have had that extra cookie!” or “If only I had taken […]

17 Things I Never Would Have Done a Year Ago

Jill Whalen — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 21:13:20 +0000

As I was running home from my yoga class today (a hot and humid day) I was marveling at the fact that not only did I not mind the run, I was rather enjoying myself. It’s times like that where even I wonder “What did you do with Jill?” During my run, I started thinking about […]

The Golden Rule: Beyond Treating Others as You Want to be Treated

Jill Whalen — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 22:17:55 +0000

We’ve all heard the saying “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Which of course means that we should treat people the way we would want to be treated. Otherwise known as “The Golden Rule.” I’ve tried to live by this rule as much as possible throughout my life. For instance, […]

Helping You With Life Problems

A friend of mine was in town recently and told me how she and her brother have been estranged for many years, however, she wanted to try to reunite with him. So she made some kind gestures to him, but he seemed to rebuff them. While she felt hurt by that, she continued to want to […]

In Memory of My Friend Frankie

Jill Whalen — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:29:13 +0000

Oh Frankie. What have you done? Why did you not care? Why did you give up? Was your pain so great that it was the only way? I wish I could have helped you, I really do. By the time I had any understanding that may have helped you, it was way too late. And it […]
