15 things I’ve learned becoming 50


Jen Vazquez of Women Who Execute, helping female entrepreneurs to plan, prioritize, and execute to take their businesses to the next level.

15 things I’ve learned becoming 50: Turning 50 this year has impacted me in many ways.  I’ve learned a lot by failing a lot and loving myself more.

I have a business habbit of having blocked time each week to watch TedTalks.  They are valuable to me as I can learn, be inspired and also get out of my head or a business problem.

Today, I was inspired by Anne Lamott on a TedTalk from 2017.  She wrote a list of “12 truths I learned from life and writing” upon turning 61. I am no writer, but I wanted to get my own thoughts in my journal.  Today I decided to share them.  

So, here is a list of a few things that I’ve learned by becoming 50:

  1. Unplugging something that isn’t working almost always fixes it.  That includes you.
  2. My children make me incredibly proud and sincerely worried all at the same time.  And that is o.k.
  3. We can’t help our friends and family by trying to “fix their problems”.  They have problems that are theirs in truth and/or in their heads. The best you can do is lend an ear and a shoulder to cry on.  I find giving advice is not necessarily needed or wanted. (I really should stop trying unless asked)
  4. Facebook isn’t the place to get the news.
  5. Praying for patience (my biggest work in progress) is not a good thing. I find that instead of providing the wherewithal to be more patient, God tends to put obstacles in place for us to have an opportunity to work on patience.
  6. Dogs are better listeners than people.
  7. I will never like coffee. I will never not like french fries.
  8. No one can copy you at anything (business or personal) because no one can ever be you.
  9. A good bra fitting makes all the difference in the world
  10. Quitting smoking and diet coke was two of the best things I’ve done for my health.  Giving up diet coke was harder than giving up smoking.
  11. The older I get, the smarter my mom is
  12. To live a happier life, give up friends who are negative.
  13. Making mistakes is actually the BEST way to grow as a person and in your business.
  14. I’m not perfect and I’ll never be perfect.
  15. I don’t feel 50. I’ve come to realize that what you feel in your head almost never equals your age on earth. And that’ o.k.

I hope that my list inspires you to write your own list. You can read more blogs below:

3 Steps to update your Pinterest Profile

Do you want to harness your Pinterest site to drive traffic to your website and thus gain more client, but you don’t know where to start? I’m here to help! Here are three easy steps to update your Pinterest profile.

ONE – Personal vs. Business:  This is obvious – if you are in business to make money, then make sure that you have a business Pinterest account.  If you don’t – change it now. Additionally, make sure to make all personal boards private or you can delete them and start again with a personal board.  TIP: Some people consider keeping their personal board and then creating a new business board. You can do that! However, I prefer to keep whatever followers and I have any pins if they are business.

TWO – Username and Profile Picture:  This should be your business name and typically whatever your social media sites use.  Sometimes you can’t use a long name, like with mine I had to choose jenvazquezphoto because jenvazquezphotography was too long.  Heads Up: My Women Who Execute Pinterest site is brand new and thus, it’s not where my wedding photography one is. I always have a client or two say, wow it’s sparse haha!  I’m working way harder on helping others than helping myself right now. Bottom Line:  You want to choose exactly what you have for other social media sites, unless it’s too long then you shorten it.  

You’re Profile Picture This should never be your logo or a picture that presents your business, it absolutely should be a picture of you.  You are the face of the company and you should use a picture of you. The picture should have great lighting (think photographing outside or in front of a window or lighting system and photographed on a blank background (so nothing detracts from your face).  It should also be a headshot or an image from the shoulders up. You want to be able to see your face upfront since it’s such a tiny photo anyway.

THREE – Profile Name and Description:  What I’ve seen from research and trial and error myself, is that you want to use this type of look.  COMPANY NAME | TOPIC. Here’s an example of mine: Jen Vazquez Photography | Wedding Photographer.

For your description, you only have 160 characters to describe what your business and the boards are about.  Make sure you are very descriptive because each word helps to be found on searches in Pinterest and other search engines.  It’s SEO for your Pinterest boards. Think of questions like, what do you do, who do you do it for, what you help with, what you provide, and anything that will help to drive traffic (think FREE tips to planning your wedding or bread recipes for people who have no time).

BONUS- Profile Cover:  Your profile cover is auto populated but you can choose what you want to populate.  You can choose what you want, but I always recommend to choose either the most popular board (you’ll find that in analytics) or Recent Activity which is Pins people saved from your claimed website and linked accounts. Why? Because if people are pinning them, then they found them compelling and chose to pin them (i.e. save them) to one of their boards. This is what you want to show to those visiting your profile.
