RED FRIDAY
 |  |
RED Friday is an informal campaign that involves wearing red on any given Friday to show support for deployed troops. The campaign is also known as Red Shirt Friday
RED Friday was first observed in the early 2000s, shortly after military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq began. It's believed to have originated with students at Mansfield University in April 2015.
The concept behind RED Friday is to:
- Wear a red shirt on any given Friday
- Show respect and support for troops and veterans
- Honor United States service members currently deployed overseas
- Show support for the men and women of the U.S. military
The informal motto for RED Friday is, “Just wear red and tell your friends why!”
  |   |
What is the meaning of Red Friday?
The concept behind the Red Shirt Friday movement is simple – wear a red shirt every Friday to show that you respect and support our troops and veterans. Throw your politics out the door for a moment; the selfless acts of our military personnel have protected our rights and freedoms since the birth of this great nation.

10 Things I’d Go Back and Tell Myself When Starting a Business
Today I am taking a step back and remembering how things were when I first started my business. I’ve learned so much since then, and there are so many things I wish I could go back and tell my former self.
So, I’m sharing those with you today! Here are 10 things I’d go back and tell myself when starting my business:
- Systems don’t have to be complicated
- Choose systems that work for you
- There’s no one-size-fits-all marketing plan
- Take action that feels good and aligned with what you want
- Your style and business will evolve over time
- And that is okay!
- A difficult client doesn’t reflect anything about your business
- Everyone deals with difficult clients, don’t take it personally
- At the end of the day, it’s still just work
- Life isn’t just about a job
- Your best ideas require mental white space
- Take breaks from the grind of work
- You can’t force creativity
- When you create, it is a mirror of how you are feeling
- Don’t try to be everything to everyone; put your needs first
- You can’t please everyone so don’t try
- Days off are necessary - wellness is a business decision
- Even if you feel you are too busy, you’ll be so much more productive after a break
- There’s a solution to every problem
- Everything can be resolved and fixed
I’m still learning as I go, but now that I’m fully emerged in navigating this entrepreneurial space, I realize there is so much that is better and easier than I ever thought.
So I hope this has been helpful for you, too!
So I hope this has been helpful for you, too!

Top Successful Entrepreneur Skills
Want to be successful in your business? Then you HAVE to check out these successful entrepreneur skills that will help you do it 🚀 #entrepreneurskills #successfulentrepreneurs #successfulentrepreneurskills
THE LIFESTYLE OF A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR – 10 SUCCESS HACKS!
The lifestyle of a successful entrepreneur is a popular topic among entrepreneurs, and I believe it is because our society is growing more aware of the importance to find a good work/life balance – even as entrepreneurs!
But before we dive into the success life hacks – what do I mean by lifestyle entrepreneurship? Lifestyle entrepreneurship means that you create a business around the lifestyle you want to have, and not the other way around!
The way you work on your business, your daily habits for success, and what type of business it is, and what you need to do while working for your business – it’s all aligned with the lifestyle you want to lead.
Lifestyle Entrepreneurship Examples:
Say you wish to travel around the world and explore new places – then it’s probably not a good idea to start a restaurant, where you would be tied to one place if you want to put in good work towards the restaurant. Instead, you would want to choose a business that wouldn’t hold you to one place geographically. An online business would be the best option here.
Another example would be if you want to have a lot of free time on your hands to do the things you want, and not work on your business constantly – but still, make money, then running a VA business, for instance, wouldn’t be the best option if you are charging on an hourly basis. If you’re charging on an hourly basis, the time you work directly correlates to how much money you make, so you want to find a different business model.
Starting a coaching business where you sell high-ticket packaging, for instance, would be a better option because there is less work time required to make more money and it would be easier to keep that boss babe motivation!

1. Meditate.
Meditation is my absolute favorite among all life hacks for entrepreneurs. Why? Because it helps you clear your mind, and allows you to focus on what’s important. When you’re constantly thinking about your business, it’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture. Meditation will help you stay focused and motivated so that you can continue working towards your long-term business goals.
When you meditate, you grow your consciousness over time, and you give your brain actual rest-time because you remove yourself from your thoughts. In other words – you no longer identify with your own thoughts, which makes it easier for you to stay balanced and have full clarity, both while working on your business and in your life in general.

2. Always Learn More.
One of the most important successful entrepreneur traits is to be open to learning more – always.
As an entrepreneur, you are constantly growing and evolving as a person, and as a business owner. It’s important to never stop learning so that you can continue to grow your business. There are many ways to learn, such as books, podcasts, online courses, and more. Find the learning method that works best for you and make sure to incorporate it into your daily routine.
As an entrepreneur, you are constantly growing and evolving as a person, and as a business owner. It’s important to never stop learning so that you can continue to grow your business. There are many ways to learn, such as books, podcasts, online courses, and more. Find the learning method that works best for you and make sure to incorporate it into your daily routine.
For Example:
I personally like to listen to podcasts while I’m going for my daily morning walks, or when I’m driving – it allows me to learn new things even when I am taking care of my health or doing other things. Which entrepreneur wouldn’t like hitting two birds with one stone, right?
3. Get Coaching or a Mentor.
Closely related to the previous point, a great way to maintain your work/life balance, and continue learning and growing as an entrepreneur is to get coaching or mentorship. I firmly believe, that every entrepreneur who is truly serious about starting or growing their online business, will make sure to always get coaching or be in a mentorship. Always wanting to be coached or mentored by others is one of the top lifestyle entrepreneur characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.
This can be in the form of a one-on-one relationship, like my 1:1 Business Coaching for entrepreneurs, or through a group program. Find someone who is successful in the area you want to grow in, and learn from them. They can help you avoid mistakes, and give you guidance so that you can achieve your goals. I have always said, that the fastest way to achieve your business goals, is to learn from- and be in the energy of someone who’s already achieved those goals!

4. Work in an Environment where you Thrive!
This is a great one among our work hacks: You want to make sure that you are working in an environment that makes you happy and motivated. If you’re not happy with your current situation, make a change! Find a new workspace, or create a beautiful home office that lights you up! The most important thing is that you are comfortable and able to focus on your work. If you want to upgrade your home office, check out my article where I cover all home office essentials.
5. Schedule in Time for Yourself.
 | It’s important to make time for yourself, to do the things you enjoy. This will help you relax and recharge so that you can continue working on your business with fresh energy. Make sure to schedule in some “me time” every week, and stick to it. This is your time to do whatever you want, so make the most of it! Believe it or not, you don’t find any list of life hacks for success that doesn’t include the importance of alone time. So honor your needs and wants outside of your business as well. That will allow you to show up refreshed again for your business and will have a positive ripple effect all around. |
6. Work from Different Places.
One of the great things about being a Lifestyle Entrepreneur is that you can work from anywhere in the world. However, it is actually proven to help the productivity and happiness of many, to work from different places!
If you are used to working from home, but feel like you need something to charge you in your business again, how about testing out the closest coffee shop for a day? Or maybe try a co-working space. The important thing is to find a place where you are comfortable and can focus on your work, but that also lights you up and gives you some variety in your everyday life. This will help increase your vibration, and will make the work you put in of higher quality!

7. Exercise.
Exercise is so important for entrepreneurs, because it helps to improve your mental and physical health, and it also gives you more energy! Make sure to incorporate some form of exercise into your daily routine, even if it’s just a short walk around the block. You’ll be surprised at how much it can help you in your business!
8. Drink Water.
This is such a simple tip, but it’s so important as well! Drinking enough water is essential for your health, but from a business perspective, it helps you stay focused and motivated for longer. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, and carry a water bottle with you so that you can stay hydrated. Trust me, your business will thank you for it!
9. Honour Your Self-Care Routine.
| And then we simply have to cover the importance of honoring your self-care routines. When you’re constantly working on your business, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. Make sure to schedule some time for self-care, and stick to it. This can be anything from getting a massage, to taking a yoga class, to simply taking a bubble bath. Whatever makes you happy and relaxed, make sure to do it! Self-care also includes your daily skincare routine, or going to the dentist – so make sure to stay on track with these things. It’s only when the rest of your body can be at its best, that your brain will be at its best too!

As an entrepreneur, your network is so important. Networking is definitely one of those successful entrepreneur skills, that will not only help you socialise but also help you grow your business! It’s essential to connect with other like-minded people so that you can learn from each other and grow together. There are many ways to grow your network, such as going to events, joining online communities, and more. Find the method that works best for you, but make sure to create space for this in your life as well.

EARTHQUAKE TODAY IN MY TOWN: STUARTS DRAFT, VIRGINIA
Unconfirmed earthquake or seismic-like event: 7.6 mi south of Staunton, Virginia, USA, Sunday, Oct 15, 2023 at 6:16 pm
Tonight's Augusta County Earthquake(s) Highlight Virginia's Seismic Potential
Residents Rattled: Reported Earthquakes Shake Augusta County Amidst Mid-Atlantic's Seismic History
AUGUSTA COUNTY, VA - Was that a rumble beneath your feet, Stuarts Draft? While the exact cause remains under investigation, early indications suggest that Augusta County may have experienced an earthquake—or even two.
Public reports from the affected regions have been pouring in, painting a vivid picture of the experience:
- The Stuarts Draft Baptist Church on Stuarts Draft Highway recounted a loud explosion-like sound accompanied by floor and ceiling shaking.
- Residents around Stuarts Draft frequently reported hearing a boom or explosion preceding the shaking, with many likening the sensation to a sonic boom or the vibrations from a jet.
- While numerous Stuarts Draft residents reported light to weak shaking, some as far away as Staunton and Waynesboro either felt a very mild shake or did not feel the event at all.
- One resident, who was napping on their couch in Stuarts Draft, shared how the tremors jolted them awake.
- Notably, in Pebble Court, Stuarts Draft, the shaking was potent enough to bring most people outdoors in immediate reaction.
- In Waynesboro, a resident recalled a loud boom followed by shaking, which seemed to have alarmed both their cat and dog.
According to Volcano Discovery, a reputable website operated by a German consortium that compiled the above reports and monitors seismic activity globally, the region may have been the epicenter of recent seismic events.
On the evening of October 15, 2023, at approximately 6:18 pm, a suspected earthquake reportedly occurred roughly 6.6 miles south of Staunton, near Stuarts Draft. The event quickly became a topic of local discussion, with over 60 reports being submitted to VolcanoDiscovery.com. The website identifies two potential seismic activities in Augusta County on this night:
- 15 Oct 2023 23:05:49 GMT: A potential aftershock, located 13 km west of Waynesboro, Virginia. Details on its magnitude are pending.
- 15 Oct 2023 22:17:52 GMT: The primary suspected event south of Staunton, Virginia, which garnered a significant 59 reports.
The Mid-Atlantic's Seismic Tapestry
While the West Coast might take the spotlight when it comes to seismic activities, the Mid-Atlantic region is no stranger to the occasional shake. The Central Virginia Seismic Zone has witnessed numerous minor quakes over the years. However, it's the 5.8 magnitude earthquake near Mineral, Virginia, in 2011 that remains etched in many memories. The quake's ripples reached as far as Georgia and New England and even caused visible damage to iconic structures like the Washington Monument.
Recent research has delved into whether human activities, notably hydraulic fracturing, might be inducing seismic events in areas previously quiet on the seismic front.

A Wake-Up Call for Preparedness
The reports of seismic activities serve as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and preparedness. Predicting the exact details of an earthquake remains challenging, but one thing is clear: the Mid-Atlantic region is not impervious to them.
Local authorities, in collaboration with geological experts, are on the case, evaluating the recent events and providing insights into potential aftershocks or future seismic patterns. Residents should stay informed through local news channels and ensure they are prepared for emergencies. This includes having essentials on hand, establishing an emergency plan, and maintaining communication with loved ones and neighbors.
While the exact nature of the recent rumblings in Augusta County awaits official confirmation, their very occurrence underscores the region's seismic past and the need for continued vigilance. Breaking Through News will continue to monitor the situation, updating the community as more details emerge.
