Cluster Thinking & Creative Mind Mapping
How do you best like to do your thinking and planning?
For me, I love to get my hands dirty with a box of markers and some big, white post-it notes. I love the scent of the Mr. Sketch markers and I love the vibrant colors that exude from my walls. In fact, it’s one of the few things that just lets me release into this feeling of both nothingness and creation all at once.
I made this YouTube video to show you how I do cluster thinking. It’s one of the ways I mind map without using those boring software applications (yes, I find them boring and honestly – I stare at the computer enough already!) and so that I can create decorative art for my office walls. The video will demonstrate for you what materials I use and how I do it so that you too can copy what I do!
The coolest part is once you are finished a bunch of cluster thinking post-it notes, you can tack them up on your office walls which really helps to cut through the stark white of the walls, etc. I love the look of my office when it gets “busy”… In fact, the picture in this post is my office walls taken a few weeks ago!
When my Build & Grow Your Online Business mentees and I meet, I talk about things by throwing up the large post-it notes and drawing live on camera. It’s great and tangible… Plus, provides something different than the “sit at your PC and stare at me staring at my PC.” I’ll do a quick demo on this Friday’s Ask Erin Live!
So, watch the video and then let me know — do you do the same? Something different? How do you organize your thoughts for maximum success and efficiency?

Must See Internet Marketer on YouTube
So many videos on YouTube… Did you know that there are thousands and thousands of instructional videos on YouTube for just about anything you may want to know? The business section is also chock full of videos and what you’ll see a lot of are MLM schemes, pyramid schemes, get rich quick schemes and so many more similar videos. To help you cut through the crap and get to the good stuff, I wanted to write a little post here with my must-see Internet Marketer on YouTube.
Eben Pagan
This guy is just pure genius. My very first client when I started my business was a mentee of Eben’s. This means that I was able to learn a lot of Eben’s techniques via my client. Let’s just say I couldn’t have had a better initiation into the Internet Marketing world. Eben is not just another Internet Marketer. He is absolutely brilliant and he knows the Internet inside and out in a way that is absolutely cutting edge.
There are two videos I recommend watching of his on his Get Altitude YouTube channel.

Vision Boards for Your Desktop Background
Vision boarding doesn’t have to mean cutting paper out, printing things off the computer, markers, glue or a cork board. Vision boarding can be done electronically too! I explore this in my latest video on YouTube which you can view below. I’ve also included a picture of my latest vision board which I’ve applied as my own desktop background. If you create one and want to link to it, add it to the comments section!
