The holidays are coming!
Have you planned ahead in order to really, truly take a break from your business?
Imagine not having to worry about content or posting or scheduling in advance.
Imagine simply handing it all over for the month so you can have a real break.
No laptop. No phone. Just rest.
Sounds bliss doesn't it?

Making the leap into business ownership is a HUGE step. It is a step only made by the brave.
And yet...
How often do we doubt ourselves?
Am I good enough? Does anyone want to hear this? Will anyone want what I offer? Can this even work?
Well, you've made it this far and look at what you have already achieved and how brave you've already been.
Friendly reminder that yes:
๐ You are a good enough
๐ Your tribe does want to hear you
๐ Your offer is valuable
๐ You can make this work
Don't let the fear talking in your head tell you otherwise. You've got this.

Take a moment this week to step back from your business and step into the shoes of your audience:
๐ What do they see when they look at your profile, pages or your website?
๐ Is what you do and how you help obvious?
๐ Is the messaging in your content consistent and easy to understand?
๐ Is your website easy to navigate for someone using it for the first time?
๐ Is the information you want readily available?
๐ Do you have proof of your results and do you look trustworthy to a stranger?
Often, when we are sitting too close to something, we fail to see the bigger picture.
So try detaching yourself a little and viewing your business through new eyes and you'll be amazed at the fresh insight and new ideas that come to mind to make your business even better.

We like to make excuses for not doing reels, even though we KNOW how brilliant they are for our business reach and growth.
Seriously, your audience is getting tired of perfect homes, perfect makeup and perfect hair.
Give us a real reel any day of the week!
Today, I had more important things to do for my clients and my family than spend an age trying to look "reel" perfect ๐
.
There's a lot going on right now for me. And there's probably a lot going on right now for you too.
So here's your reminder!
Do the reel. Just grab a snapshot of your ordinary, imperfectly wonderful everyday life. Then add some value.
๐ Make up or no make up.
๐ Show home or cosy home.
๐ Perfect hair or mum bun.
๐ Face or no face
It doesn't matter. Make the reel.

We often think if we can just nail this one aspect of social media, that we'll go viral, gain thousands of new followers or convert loads of clients.
But it doesn't work like that.
Social media is a ton of different ingredients that make up the secret sauce.
So if your messaging is off, or your hashtags are all wrong or your hook isn't strong enough, this will have an impact on the result in the same way that getting just one ingredient perfectly right doesn't automatically equal success.
So allow yourself to play. Allow yourself to make mistakes. Allow yourself to have fun with it. Notice what works. Notice what doesn't. Try changing small elements in your sauce and when you have nailed it, use that special blend of ingredients to make more of the same.
It isn't a one stop shop and there's no such thing as perfection.
There is only progress and improving your ingredients one element at a time ๐.
What is one thing you have changed recently in your ingredients that has made a positive difference for you?

At some point you were told you needed to use hashtags on social media to improve your reach.
You didn't really understand why and you didn't really understand how to use them properly so you've been whacking them in ever since, hoping for the best.
But we're in 2024 now. Do the same rules apply? How many should we use? Which platforms still use them? Which ones should we use? Where do we put them? Have we put in enough?
I will be answering all these questions and more in my live training in Social Media Tips To Elevate Your Well-Being Biz tomorrow (Wednesday 23.01.24) at 12:30pm GMT.
The good news is, hashtags aren't dead... YET ๐๐

ALL SYSTEMS GOOOOOO!
I was over the moon to discover that my brand new business of 2023 was a Finalist in The Essex Small Business Awards.
Proof that no matter what life throws at you and how challenging things can be, if you want something bad enough, you can make it happen. Through sheer force of will and a lot of hard work.
I have had the pleasure of supporting all of you through my content, in my Facebook Group Lives, through website services, design services, writing services and social media services.
If I have helped you or inspired you in your business in any capacity and you love what I did, send in your vote!
Link is in my bio ๐
Thank you so so so much for all your support ๐
Lots of love Laura
Eeeeeee I'm so excited ๐

Just keeping it real for you ๐คฃ
So B-Roll footage is actually one of my favourite things to do. It means I can just capture moments that are part of my every day rather than making special time to film.
Good quality B-Roll footage is simply a short, eye catching visual with movement, comedy or something aesthetically pleasing that you can overlay with VALUE for your audience.
Usually there's some connection between the footage and the words, but not always.
You don't have to speak to the camera, you don't necessarily even have to be in the shot.
But it's a great way to share value with your audience.
And you can use it again and again with different text and different trending sounds.
What's not to love? ๐คฉ

5 Ways to Take a Break From Your Business This Christmas:
1) If you don't schedule your down time, it's easy to let work spill over and creep in! It's essential to block out your time off in advance, put it in your calendar if necessary because this time is just as important as meetings/sessions with your clients!
2) By scheduling your posts in advance, you don't have to frantically try and whip something up on the day. It's one less thing to worry about. If you want some ideas, drop a #replay for access to my live training on 6 Post Ideas to tide you through to January.
3) Set up an autoreply on your email for your "annual leave" so any leads that do come through aren't left unanswered! You can also have a premade bit of text for copy and pasting for any queries that come through on your social media. (You'll want to tweak it slightly depending on the query but at least have something on hand that's quick and easy to adapt as appropriate and send!)
4) Make a list for priority and non priority tasks. Ones you have to complete before your break and ones that can wait until after. You could even allocate days for your post Christmas tasks so you can relax in your break but also not forget anything in the "full of cheese, confused phase" that follows Boxing Day! ๐คฃ
5) To keep your socials ticking over, you do want to schedule in a bit of engagement, but don't waste hours and get sucked in. Set yourself a convenient time with a timer and just spend 10, 15 minutes engaging and commenting and then put your phone away. If anyone needs a screen break, it's you!
Save this post to come back to and drop a comment below if you've already actioned the above. I've done about 3 out of 5 so I don't profess to be perfect either ๐

How are you all feeling about posting for your well-being business over the next two weeks?
๐) All out of sorts. Should I post? Will anyone see it?
๐) I want to stay consistent with my posts but I have NO IDEA what to post.
๐) I'm excited to post all things CHRISTMAS! I'm scheduled and ahead of the game so I can have a real break!
Whichever one you picked, it's ok. No judgement here. We all have our moments to shine and our moments that are simply chaotic. I'm here to help!
Join me for my live training ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ญ ๐๐:๐๐๐ฉ๐ฆ for a quick 20 minute chat where I will give you two weeks worth of Christmas posts designed specifically for your well-being business.
I will show you how to have a presence on social media, have your cake (mince pies) and eat them ๐คฃ

Let's jingle some bells!
It might be an everlasting love for me (apparently I even do socials in the car ๐) but I know it's likely not the case for you.
It's overwhelming, it's exhausting and it keeps changing.
New features!
New platform!
Mysterious algos!
Glitches with the updates!
I live for this stuff.
Keeping up with changes and testing it all out.
I've got you and I'll keep sharing the love in small, manageable bites.
And if you need a hug (and a pep talk!) or if you would rather just hand absolutely everything over to me, and wash your hands of it entirely, that's ok too. ๐
(There's even a cheeky Christmas discount currently running for my monthly packages if you want to take a peak! Just drop a ๐ below)..
