11 JUN 2020 · PERSONAL / YOUTUBE UPDATE. ⁣ I’ll go to bed and have some sleep now, because I’ve had a few nights in a row now, with not so much of sleep.

I would love to know if it resonates with you and if it’s bringing you any value (that’s the plan, so I’m convinced it will) ⁣ ⁣ When that is said, then I’m recording all of the videos in my living room (at this current time!) and some of them are better than others. But that’s okay for now. As long as they get even better with time. ⁣ ⁣ I live by these words; start before you’re ready and then: adjust, apply and continue. Talk soon. xx J ⁣ ⁣ ** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com

11 JUN 2020 · HEART VERSUS BRAIN DECISIONS. ⁣ ''Keep dreaming. Keep creating. Keep leading with your heart.'' ⁣ ⁣Here’s another great one by Marie Forleo. I just read it on twitter and it hit me that... ⁣ ⁣ I’m finally in a place in my life, where I can say, honestly, that I’m leading 100% with my heart. ⁣ ⁣ With that said, then I’m aware that heart decisions ain’t always theeeee right ones, because we have to take care of our life, heart and those people who we love and care about - and sometimes, that’s the brain decisions which can ALSO be great at that. ⁣ ⁣ What leads you in your decision making?

11 JUN 2020 · TELEPROMPTER: GO OR NO GO? ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣Hi everyone! It’s been a week (or weeks?) since I posted something, because I’ve been busy working on my other social media platforms. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I’m a big believer of getting yourself out there, as much as you can, in order to grow your audience - and therefore; later on your customers too. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ So as some of you know, then I’ve been super focused on my Instagram, then later on my podcast and now - I’m currently working on my YouTube channel. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ In a few weeks I’ll be able to continue my focus back (in a balanced way!) on all of my different social media platforms at the same time, instead of only working on reaaaallyy building ONE platform at the time. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ So! I have a few thoughts on the ‘teleprompter’ theme as you can tell from my picture. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I’ve tried a few, and also bought one - I’ve watched many YouTube videos about the BEST ones and downloaded and bought the best one - BUT! Don’t do that. No matter how great you are, then my opinion is that it’s not worth the effort on trying to become great at it. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Because! ⁣Your audience will be able to tell, that you’re using a teleprompter. Your eyes will be reading (if you know what I mean) EVEN if the text is placed millimetres from the camera lens. Or even on top of it. You can also tell from the way you present your script, it will sound like you’re reading - and your audience won’t connect with it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Instead, try to see if you can memorize your script instead! I have made a post and a YouTube video about - how you can do that in a great way.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Enjoy and good luck on your journey of producing amazing content. xx J⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com

11 JUN 2020 · THE MOST IMPORTANT THING BEFORE STARTING ON YOUR WRITING PROCESS. ⁣ This is a picture from one of my settings during my writing process of my first book: feet’s out of the window, sun in the face and the computer inside of the apartment, so I was able to see the screen more clearly. ⁣ ⁣ There’s lots of ways to do a writing process - the most important thing is that you feel good. ⁣ ⁣ Personally, then I’ve written both of my books at the same cafe and in my apartment. For me the most important thing was to feel inspired, to like the vibe, but also to feel a sense of peace and make sure that my environment wouldn’t disturb me during writing.⁣ ⁣ For you content creators out there (and for everyone else who’s deeply concentrated and focused on something...) then being disturbed is the worst thing, because it breaks your flow and most often (worst case) makes it really difficult to get back in to a fx writing rhythm. ⁣ ⁣ So, I find that the environment and the surroundings might be the #1 most important thing to get straight (to find) before starting your writing process. Because it will help your process so much more, and you’ll get further with your dream by making sure that the practical things around you WORK, before loosing yourself in stories, imagination and so on. ⁣ ⁣ I’m so curious; what’s your preferred way to work/create? xx J ⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com

11 JUN 2020 · HOW TO AVOID CREATING DRAMA FOR YOURSELF DURING AN INTERVIEW. ⁣ So here’s a blurred black and white picture from a setting on stage during the book fair in Copenhagen. ⁣ ⁣ What I leaned from this interview is simply: ⁣ ⁣ • If you don’t know something, about something, then say that. Instead of trying to pretend that you do. ⁣ ⁣ • If the interviewer is trying to point the interview in a certain direction by the line up of questions being asked, then focus on the reason why you’re doing the interview in the first place and direct the focus back on your want and intention with the interview. ⁣ ⁣ Most often journalists will try to push you in a certain direction which is good for the direction and form they wish the interview to take, because they know that the topics, focus, angle, theme or so on is fx hot topics or something that people buy in on by fx physical buying a magazine or by clicking on a article on the internet. ⁣ ⁣ When this is said, then here’s an important note: I’m not saying that this interviewer did that. But I’m saying that I was aware about the fact, that journalists most often has a agenda. ⁣ ⁣ So: practise staying focused on the message you want to deliver/point you’re trying to make or so on - and be proactive and aware about pointing the interview in a direction which benefits you and your dreams. xx J ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com

11 JUN 2020 · WHAT TO WRITE AND WHEN TO WRITE?⁣ ⁣ So the other day I got a question from some of you about what to write and when to write. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ When having a dream about becoming an author and publishing a book, doesn’t always equals that you know exactly what to write about or when to write it - and that is okay! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The most important part of the process is to plant a seed and thereby grow a dream. Because, everything in this wild world (almost) starts with having a dream, that eventually can take root and grow into what you have imagined it to be. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But here’s my advice for you on that: ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1. Try different book ideas out. Write them down, work on them, pitch them, be open about them and start a dialogue with relevant people about them (ex publishers and so on) Because by trying different ideas out and going for them, will lead you in the right direction of what the right book idea will be for you. Because you gain experience by trying and therefore getting more awareness on what’s working and what’s not working. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 2. See if you can sell the book idea to a publisher house and sign the contract based on the IDEA and not the whole script. Your time is precious and you better use it right. When you have a signed contract, you can start a dialogue with your publisher house which will help you out with the ‘when’ to write it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is my opinion and what I’ve done with both of my books, but that doesn’t mean that’s the final and correct approach. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What’s your approach on this? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com

14 MAY 2020 · This is a quote by filmmaker, Ken Burns, from an article on Forbes.com. ⁣ ⁣ The context of the quote is not the point I wish to make or describe in this post. ⁣ ⁣ But what I would love to put a few words on, is the truth of: the power of words. As written, or by listening to them in a conversation, in a play, in music or so on. ⁣ ⁣ Maya Angelou has also said something beautiful about the power of words and here it is (had to google it after I read this quote myself): ⁣ ⁣ “Words are things, I’m convinced,” she said. “You must be careful about the words you use or the words you allow to be used in your house.”⁣ ⁣ “You must be careful. Care about calling people out of their names, using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives and all that ignorance,” she said. “Don’t do that.” ⁣ ⁣ Words, she felt, have to power to seep into everything around you. “I think they get on the walls, they get in your wallpaper, they get in your rugs and your upholstery and your clothes,” Dr. Angelou said. “And, finally, into you.”⁣ ⁣ I’ll really recommend you to YouTube ‘The power of words - Maya Angelou.’ She describes it so beautifully in words. ⁣ ⁣ So, I guess my point here is: writing, singing, performing a play or presenting a show (any kind) does make a difference. ⁣ ⁣ So be careful about your words, but also: go inspire! Because words; can change minds. xx J⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com

14 MAY 2020 · ON PERFECTIONISM. ⁣ ⁣This this post I want to talk about perfectionism. ⁣ ⁣ Many of us have a tendency to never start, never publish or never even try to book the meeting with xxx as we dream of! Why? ⁣ ⁣ Because we don’t feel ready yet. We don’t feel like we know enough yet (at least that’s one of our excuses), or the timing is not so good at the moment (another excuse) or I’ll go apply for the job or try to book the meeting once I look a little bit more slim. Can you relate? ⁣ ⁣ Well. Being a perfectionist is a great thing, because it also means that you’re really putting an effort into the things that you’re into. But it can also, at the same time, be a very challenging thing to be a perfectionist and you know why? Because it’s almost impossible to do or create anything perfect and if that’s what you thrive for: wow, please don’t be so hard on yourself! ⁣ ⁣ Rather make mistakes along the way and learn from them (as Maya Angelou says: when you know better, you do better), than never even getting started. Because that will for sure block all of your dreams. ⁣ ⁣ Then rather start, when you feel like your product/body/website and so on looks almost exactly how you want it, and then make it even better along the way, as the time passes. ⁣ ⁣ In this way, you get started, you learn, you can apply your new knowledge to whatever you got started with and in that way: you become better. ⁣ ⁣ So why am I posting this exact picture? Let me tell you! ⁣ ⁣ Behind me there’s an ugly yellow and green plastic bag, laying all messy on the floor, because I came straight from the grocery store once I did this picture. So now I have two options: ⁣ ⁣ 1. Not to post it and get stuck, because I find it ugly ⁣ ⁣ 2. To post the picture and hopefully add value to some of you readers. And you know what? It feels great to keep going! So please: go, go, go! xx J⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / ww.xxjasminsoe.com

14 MAY 2020 · HOW TO HANDLE A PROBLEM. ⁣ ... so don’t push the problem away or try to avoid it. ⁣ ⁣ Try to see it as your friend instead, who has a message for you, and try to listen and learn (or research until you know how to act accordingly/solve the problem/understand/learn) instead of seeing the problem as a negative thing or even as some sort of enemy. ⁣ ⁣ I see this like I see the thing about fear: don’t push it away, don’t avoid it, don’t be scared of it... instead: look it right in the eye and give it a wink! ⁣ ⁣ Whatever you try to run from in life (almost) will catch up on you sooner or later or keep ghosting you around. So try to make peace with the problem instead, it will satisfy your soul on a whole different level. ⁣ ⁣ And then be courageous and ask yourself open questions like: what are you here to teach me? How can I learn from this situation? What is the take away of newly learned wisdom that I can keep safe in my heart and add to future situations that will remind me/look like the current problem based situation I’m in right now? ⁣ ⁣ Asking yourself open questions, allowing yourself to search for the answers and to look at the problem straight - instead of closing your eyes towards what’s happening right now, will help you evolve and grow as a human being. ⁣ ⁣ So when a problem comes, please be nice to it, cause it tries to teach you something. xx J⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com
