The Nugget with Michelle Martello

summer love fest

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

This one's quick because I've got about 48 hours left in my whirlwind trip with my nephew. So far, I've found amazing pastries AND saunas in Oslo, Bergen, Copenhagen and Berlin. My idea of travel heaven.

Meanwhile, here's what else I'm loving this summer ...

  • ​the 10x travel course. No affiliation - just want to share the free course that completely upped my points hoarding game. The course showed me how to do my EU trip for free - minus a few incredible meals and adding to my ever-growing tote bag collection (seriously, Copenhagen has the best bags).
    ​
  • B-School Summer edition starts next month. Want to work 1:1 with me through the program? Get on my waitlist here. Already done B-School with me? You know I always give you more goodies with each round - expect an email in your inbox soon.
    ​
  • I've got automations on the brain. Dream Club members come join me next week for my talk on Automation Basics to give you more time, money and ease.
    ​
    ​Not in Dream Club? I'd love to know what you want to automate - what do you find yourself doing manually that you'd like to turn over to the robots? Let me know here - anything is fair game. Life or business, mundane to critical.

you've got this,
Michelle

Between the DMs from friends sharing stories of outrageously bad-behaving clients (shoutout to anyone who's dealing with customer support these days - people are WILD) and unintentionally getting myself into a petty social media spat (my WordPress friends will understand), it's one of those weeks where you wonder what the heck is going on with people. But a few much needed deep conversations reminded me of the good that comes out of regular human interaction (not to mention what you gain when...

Nothing drives me more nuts than the little things that slow you down. Like when I discovered this week in the middle of a design deadline that my keyboard shortcuts weren't working.I've been a web designer for almost 2 decades - these quick keys are ingrained in my head. Losing them meant I was moving at turtle pace.After a protracted youtube search, I discovered the fix. Turns out when I set up my new computer the other week I needed to change a system preference to turn on my function...

I'm pretty sure I think about benches more than the average person. My favorite running trail has an wobbly old wooden one, perched on top of a hill with killer unobstructed city river views. Every time I pass by, I think "that's a great spot for my ashes." Slightly morbid, but who wouldn't want an eternally great view with daily dog visitors? Anytime I see a bench with a commemorative plaque, I have to stop and read it. The other week as we hiked inside the DC Smithsonian Zoo (we're suckers...
