 Hi everyone. We are here for another progress and learning video this time and with Bings Huang, Bings, hello there. Good to have you here. Hi, Josh. Yeah, so Bings has been just a great collaborator in the MasterHeart business mentoring group that I created and she's been, you know, forming connections and collaborating and making her own progress. So I wanted to have her share some of her lessons with you all, and hopefully you'll get encouraged to go and create and collaborate more. So Bings, before we get started, do you want to share a brief intro? How would you describe your, your, yeah, yourself. Thank you Josh for inviting me to this. So I'm a gentleman's ambassador, storyteller and soul dancer, and now my passion is in helping other authentic solopreneurs share their wisdom on medium, the platform. Medium.com has become more and more kind of popular, well popular in the world, but also inside the MasterHeart business group, you know, more people are wanting to write and so it's great that you're kind of helping them with, you know, getting them on there and then you have a publication, basically a magazine on medium.com now, where you invite, you know, some of my group members to write for the magazine, so it's really cool. So yeah, maybe you could share any lesson you want to share regarding creating content that you've learned over the past months or years, however you want to think about it. So I was just going through all the lessons I've learned being in MasterHeart since 2018, when I had my third baby, he was just a few months old and I just got really excited to join, just felt urged that I need to join this program. It was at that time when I finally had some income through my healing business because I kept sharing my content authentically and prior to taking your workshops, I thought that I should keep my opinions to myself, because the form of healing that I do is to hold a space, a gentle space for the client to unwind their feelings and thoughts and just not holding any judgment. So I thought that I don't have anything to share on social media, but after taking your content costs, I just started to share more and more about my own thoughts. And I really feel that I've come a long way from there. So I've written two books already. After taking your course on creating a book, just going the self-publishing work out. I wrote my book on gentleness and at first it felt awkward because it's not SEO friendly words. Nobody actually suggests for gentleness as on Google. In the next years in 2020, the pandemic came and suddenly everyone was feeling this. The importance of being gentle with themselves and with everyone around them. So I started to gain more resonance with this topic on gentleness and they actually encouraged me to go forward and even do some interviews with healers, coaches and writers over the world. So it's very exciting to me that even when I was in lockdown with my kids and husband and we couldn't go out, it made me feel very alive. And I had a very meaningful time connecting, doing all these interviews with all these people and sharing about their work. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm so proud of you because yeah, who would have thought that you were published books and you're collaborating quite a lot now. I mean, you've done different types of collaboration. So, well, before we get into the collaborations part, say more about your courage really, you've developed a lot of courage in creating content. I mean, one example that people wouldn't think they can do this but you did it. You're now sharing dance, your own dance videos. And it was an experiment but it really, I think it makes your presence unique to people and allows you to really express a part of yourself that can't come through writing, even though you are a great writer. So say more about that, you know, and you even call yourself a soul dancer, S-O-U-L, soul dancer is part of your title. So tell us more, what that means to you? It is part of my personal transformation. So I've always loved dance and being a mom, I lost touch with dance and I lost touch with my passion. But when I slowly gained the courage to really go and take dance classes and post my videos, I think it helps me to share my passion online and it sort of helps me to break out of my own definition of what gentleness should be. So I thought gentleness, if I want to be a gentleness ambassador, I should be really still and calm. But in my dance videos, I'm very, I can be very active, right, vibrant. And so it could be like a K-pop dance video or it could be an intuitive dance video with my silk fan bills. So I really enjoy showing that part of myself. But it came true after showing my videos in certain close Facebook groups and just slowly gaining some resonance, then I felt more comfortable to be more open with it and share my insights. Yeah, that's really good. That's a really good tip. I hope everyone watching this if you are feeling shy about sharing yourself, hearing content, or some more experimental content. Think about forming a private Facebook group with a few supportive friends or colleagues to share that kind of experimental content for some encouragement. So I'd love that you all, you have stayed with the word gentleness. Now, because I think over the years it will become, like you said originally, there wasn't because of search engine optimization, people weren't searching gentleness or at least not the way that you talk about it. But you really have carved out your own niche, you've created a niche for gentleness, which is beautiful. And I think over the years it's going to become, I mean, you've created, I mean, to me, I mean, to a lot of the people who know you, of course, when we think of that word, I know when I think of the word gentleness. I was like, sometimes I'm thinking my mind, you know, okay, beings can mind that borrow that term right now. You know, so it's really cool. It's really cool. So, well, actually, you know, I want to ask you this question, you know, how did you even come up with the word gentleness? How did it come to you? Like, why? Yeah. So, when I, when I changed my career and to become a physical therapist, and it felt terribly, because I was too overwhelmed with working at a hospital. At that most depressing period, I saw a channel, these words for myself, to know that I'm loved and I'll always be loved. And that was the first energy of gentleness that came to me. And throughout the years, like, I've connected with various teachers, modalities, and it just feels like they're all about the energy of gentleness and being a Virgo. I'm actually a perfectionist. So gentleness brings me back to my, to my center. And yeah, also the act of just wanting to commit to writing a book, make me have that kind of insight, because I know that I want to write a book, but I'm not sure what it's about. It was the process of writing that made it clear that this is the theme that runs through all the transformations I've gone through over the years. Yeah. Wow, that's great. That's really good. Yeah. Okay, I think those who are listening and watching this can take some, take some insight from this in that, you know, your niche or your main message will, will emerge. And we don't have to push, we don't have to push and make it happen. It can emerge, just like it did for you. And when it doesn't emerge, it becomes really clear. I have always believed in that like for me, the whole authentic marketing thing didn't wasn't something I forced on it was just something that kind of emerged over time, as I as I shared ideas. So I feel like that's, that's, yeah, what a great example, I mean how it's emerging your life. So let's move over to this topic of collaborations because you are one of the more skillful, you know, collaborators that I've seen. So, do you want to talk about, you know, a lot of people I think who are watching this or listening are shy about collaborations. For many reasons, one is sometimes they don't, you know, they feel like they have to get to know someone super well before they collaborate. That's one possible, or another possibility is oh, I've had a bad collaboration in the past. So now, or they're just shy about reaching out. But what kind of encouragement or insights have you learned about collaboration. Okay, to start with expressing your appreciation for that specific person. So it doesn't have to be a two way exchange. And yeah, the more you share your appreciation. It could be another person from that network will reach out to you as well. So it might not be a one for one kind of collaboration. But when you open up and express your gratitude and appreciation, you start to attract the same things, the same people similar people into your network. So that's, that's why I love about collaborations and I always start collaboration with this. This mindset that I'm here to learn. So I'm very new in business and I'm a business baby. So I'm always here to learn from whoever I want to, I like to collaborate with. That's why I always start with Android interviews. And I use my modality which is human design to, to see the soft. And to see what the energetic challenges and gifts that I can highlight from that person and and from there on we start an interesting dialogue. So that's why I enjoy about collaboration. Yeah, yeah, I want to share on on the screen. You're the authentic solopreneurs project can I do that. I want just everyone to see it. It's on medium calm. You can get there by medium calm slash authentic hyphen solopreneurs I'll put the link in the notes of the video, or the episode. And it's, it's, you know, it's beautifully done. And basically, things you curate articles from others that you feel like would fit a foot fit this topic that would serve other authentic solopreneurs. Which are a lot of the people who are who are watching or listening right now. And do you are, you know, I encourage everyone to come in and read this. And do you also accept writers. What, what's your, what's your criteria right now for accepting writers into this magazine. As long as you have, as long as you're sharing with them based on your work experience. Yeah, you're welcome to join so. So there are many many writers on medium but they might not be sharing from their own authentic experience and training. I just want to have this specially curated selection of words from people who really know their stuff. And they're not out to be too silcy about it. They're very generous in sharing and they invite at the same time they invite you to work further with them if you want to. That's the, it makes me so happy to see the number of articles growing in the publication so yeah it's a joy to see that. Yes, yes, and I also have heard from others who have submitted that you as the curator as the publisher. They will give them tips on how to improve. Right, their article before it gets submitted. So even the submission process itself is a learning experience for the writer. You have so much experience writing now, I mean it's amazing, right, I mean you've written so many articles you've, you've, you know, written books, and now you're a curator your publisher. You, I think there's a, there's great value really and if they're able to if they're a right fit for your the magazine, and they submit, they'll learn a lot in that process so that's really, really cool. So, what is, do you want to share where you can, you see your own business and career going like what's what kind of vision are you, if there is a vision that you're excited about or any kind of what do you see forward. Yeah. My, my biggest dream is to be a public speaker and probably fake author. So and at the same time, I'm sorry, the public speaker and what kind of author to probably fake author to keep writing books. Yes, yes. Yes. So, I really want to continue spreading the message on gentleness. At the same time, I like to connect with, with a growing network of, of authentic healers coaches. And I feel that we, we make the world better. So, so this is my, my, my biggest dream. Yeah, well I think you're well, well qualified and well, you know, it just it fits who you are. It's just that dream. So, I'm really glad you're doing it. If people want it so do you want to. So, you know, we talked about the authentic solopreneurs as a project you're working on. Is there any other kind of offer or way that that you'd like people to engage with you or consider doing it. I'm working on a beta program, a group program for fellow solopreneurs who want to get started on medium. So, I'm drafting a four week course where we can just take baby steps together. I know they're also very busy in their businesses so it was slowly progress to making an impact on medium. So, and, yeah, we can trust that you will bring your gentleness to the program so that, yeah, even if you're really busy, you know, you can still take part in it. And with with baby steps is really how you make solid decent. You know, the habits really to so that they can continue on. So that's really wonderful. You know, when the, well, I'll put a link, you know, in the notes below if you want to contact you about that so for those of you who have been curious about medium calm, which is the way I like to think about medium calm it's kind of like, it's kind of like a beautifully designed network, right so where where you can go and create an account and have a blog and you don't have to worry about any of the technology behind it because it's just already designed it's already beautiful. And when you publish it you're already in this network of other bloggers and writers, some of whom are very famous and many of whom are just getting started with blogging. And it's really, and, you know, you have a lot of experience now writing on medium calm so you know what works, you know how to, you know, you know how to all the best formatting ideas and how to get more visibility for for one's medium articles so I think people would be, you know, really fortunate to learn with you so. Yeah, that's really wonderful. Well anything else beings you want to share as we complete this conversation. I just, I appreciate the way that you keep saying the same things over and over again. Like, I learned about the content marketing from you a few years ago, but I'm still learning new things to apply and I can see my growth so I really appreciate that. Thank you I can see your growth too I mean, and I've actually interviewed you. One or a few times, I think by this point. And I feel like, yeah, I feel like you've, you've grown, you know, and people can of course they want to watch your previous ones, although just be clear. You also made a, you know, like you're not offering the kind of healing sessions that you used to I don't know if you are not, but you made a pivot. Yes. Yeah, yeah, you want to talk about that. Okay. So I decided that I need to be gentle myself on my business, because I really, I don't have the presence to, to offer healing sessions to my clients anymore because of my growing demands on on time energy for my kids so I have three kids. And that's why I'm pivoting and deciding on offering writing services for fellow entrepreneurs. It also suits me because I am actually very sensitive energetically. So it kind of drains me too much if I work. I do many private one on one sessions. So but if I channel my creativity into my writing and helping others with this. I think it's really a win win situation. So happy about that. It's great and I think that's a testament to, I mean, people should be free if it's your own self employment. Why can't you pivot of course you can you can pivot completely to a different business model. And so thanks for being, being that example being willing to pivot taking care of one child is already a full time job in my in my head in my experience, let alone three young children that's really impressive so I want to I want to congratulate you on doing a good job because that's your most important job, you know, being a being a mother and then now you're doing this, you know, writing and curation of writing so. Yeah, really, really proud of you and I hope people will stay connected with you and kind of benefit from what you offer so thank you so much beings for all that you do.
