Content Marketing
Content marketing is a form of marketing that focuses on creating, publishing, and distributing content for a targeted online audience. Lead generation, growing customer base, generating sales, building brand awareness, and affirming credibility are all potential outcomes from successful content marketing.

Guest Blogging Strategy
Is guest blogging the best form of content marketing? Many experts such as Neil Patel, New York Times bestselling author, top influencer, and web marketer; believes that guest blogging is. Additionally, people perceive blogs with multiple authors to be more credible.

Guest blogging is creating blog posts for another organization’s site generally within similar industries that the guest blogger is serving. The guest blogger is writing for a select group of people that have a specific need. I like the analogy of placing a decal on a race vehicle. You may not be in the driver’s seat, but individuals see your decal.
Several factors are shaping what one economist calls a "weird summer" for the U.S. labor market. How's it playing out in healthcare?
 
1. Why "weird"? That's how Gregory Daco, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, described the labor market to Bloomberg, noting a high degree of churn. Factors contributing to the atypicality industrywide: lingering concerns about COVID-19 and the delta variant; child care challenges; temporarily strengthened unemployment benefits; and extreme weather and interrupted travel.
 
2. What's happening in healthcare, specifically? A few things are likely drivers of labor shortages in healthcare. COVID-19 left many professionals exhausted and either making or seeking an exit from the profession: Nearly 30 percent of physicians, nurses and other healthcare workers have considered leaving healthcare altogether because of COVID-19-related burnout, a survey by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation found. 
“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
Albert Einstein

“Think simple” as my old master used to say – meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.”
Frank Lloyd Wright

The daily work we do – in school, at work or in a business – can easily become overwhelming, ineffective and suck the energy and joy out of what you are doing.

So how can you work in a lighter, simpler way that helps you to get more of what truly matters done in less time and with less stress?
Let me share 12 habits that I've discovered over the years that help me to do just that.

1. Prepare your day the evening before.
Pack your bag or suitcase. Pack the leftovers from your dinner in a container and put it in the fridge.
