Bouchard Entertainment

What are you working on, Michael? Currently developing a plan and strategy to start my own SEO service here in Maine.

Multitasking. You can only do one thing at a time. Our brains are not set up to work on 3, 4, 5 things at once. If you want to make the most of your time you should be time blocking your calendar and working on only one thing during that time block - whether it's 20 minutes to get through email, then 1 hour to focus on a certain project, 45 minutes to get through a workout without looking at...

I am a huge metal head - have been forever and a day... If I am listening to music while I work it either has to be SiriusXM's stations like Hits 1, TikTok Radio, & Pandora Now so that I can stay up to date on music trends; however...... if I am listening to music I truly enjoy it has to be loud and proud - August Burns Red is my favorite band of all time. Gotta stay motivated and energetic...

We make wedding planning and hiring entertainment a breeze as with most couples - they've never been married before.

I went *fully* self employed in 2015. Just today I started the acquisition of things needed for my third business. Not necessarily a pivot in the sense of one umbrella... but numerous pivots to figure out how I want my long term career to look. At 37 it feels late to be figuring this out... But in reality... doing what you love seems a lot better than grinding something out simply because it is...

Go on a walk! I see a billion responses with this small activity - it so so beneficial!

I had to hire someone but Tailwind allows you to post ahead of time and at the ideal times!

In my line of work the visual(s) are super super important... and IG has done this the best.

It helps that my friend is a web developer but i have found a ton of resources from Moz and SemRush

Blog writing gives you a solid base to then edit and add to!

Tave (CRM), Google Drive, my Phone lol!

SURVIVAL! As an entertainment company this is the time of year!

Guest blogs! Getting good backlinks are easy... getting good backlinks that Google cares about are hard. Check out HARO (Help out a reporter) and ask for guest blogs on your website and work in that quid pro quo.

You have to take time for you. Personally, if I don't get a daily workout and a short half mile walk in.... the compounding issues of overworking seem to never get better. Also, have a 16oz glass of water as soon as you get up - caffeine later.

As a self employed individual I don’t know that I could use this but would definitely recommend to a friend! 💯

Totally a night owl as a DJ and mobile entertainer but with a 4 year old.... it makes the mornings a necessity!

When my wife and I bought our house in 2017 I started out in the dingy, musty, basement. It didn't take long for me to use the spare bedroom, put in a desk, dual HP monitors and my collection of VHS tapes. Working from home is tough and having a dedicated spot that is inviting makes the day easier. It also allows me to shut a door and be done with working for the day... so good for the family...
