“One of the things I’ve learned over the last few decades is that nothing beats consistency when it comes to running a business. Whether it’s showing up for your customers, delivering quality, or managing your finances—consistency is what builds trust and drives success.” — Jim Collins, "Good to Great"

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒕: According to research by Duke University, about 45% of our daily activities are driven by habit. Consistency in creating and maintaining positive habits is crucial for long-term success.

𝑪𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: Studies show that consistent customer experience can improve customer retention by up to 89%. This is particularly important for small businesses where repeat customers are a key source of revenue.

𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚: The book "The Challenger Sale" highlights that top-performing salespeople are 39% more likely to exhibit consistent behaviors that align with their company’s sales approach.

Consistency is the secret sauce- and the receipts prove it 👏🏼

One of the biggest downfalls I see with business owners year after year is they start strong—hitting the ground running with implementation, content creation, and all things business. They’ve got a solid three months planned, and then… they coast. They get complacent, caught up in the daily grind of just getting through the day. Then a few months pass, and suddenly, they have NOTHING. They hit a brick wall and feel like they’re starting from scratch just to get their business back on track. Don’t let this be you! Stay consistent, stay engaged, and keep the momentum going, even when it’s tough. Your future self will thank you! 💪

The heart behind Connect & Cultivate East Florida is to help make this consistency not only fun but EASY. 👯‍♀️

Can I be real for a second?

Going to as many networking events as you possibly can is NOT a business plan 💥

Ever heard the phrase “the fortune is in the follow up”- this rings true! ESPECIALLY when it comes to your business and authentic relationships.

🌟 In the world of business, it’s easy to get caught up in the numbers game – followers, connections, events, and acquaintances. But let me tell you a secret: a few solid, genuine relationships will always take you further than being known by tons of people. Shaking hands doesn’t equal business growth!

Quality over quantity is the key. Invest in relationships that uplift, inspire, and challenge you to grow. Surround yourself with those who believe in your vision and are committed to seeing you succeed. Over, and over, and over, and over again. Consistency in seeing the same people and developing REAL relationships with genuine connection.

It’s these deep connections that provide the support, trust, and encouragement we need to reach new heights. So, focus on building meaningful relationships, and watch your business flourish. 💼✨

And.. that’s a WRAP! Connect & Cultivate East Florida rocked our first Content Day! I mean.. look at these ladies?! How amazing is this tribe! 👯‍♀️

If you didn’t know 👇🏼

We host a Content Day once a month!

For three reasons:
✨ 1. We believe two is always better than one, and you’ll always find us increasing our business alongside others. If we are going to the top so are YOU.

✨ 2. We believe FRESH content is the best content. Next month grab your bestie and join us for all the things.

✨ 3. Original content is the star on social media! Not only does the Instagram algorithm reward original content, but if a user uses too much footage or images from bank websites Instagram/FB recognizes it and will slow down your post in the algorithm. Grabbing a cover photos off Pinterest or Shutterstock is great in a pinch, but if you use bank content too often your account reach will decrease drastically. Hurting your engagement!

At Connect we are here to teach you all the tricks! Our members get this amazing day INCLUDED in their monthly membership fee. That is a $300 savings alone. Despite all the other goodies we provide.

Have questions about our membership? Let us know!

Huge shoutout to our exclusive photographer Allison Leigh Photography we are so grateful for her.

So many business owners are constanly trying to jump on the hottest new trend to grow their social media pages. This is great.. BUT it is only one piece of the business pie.

I even argue that it is a very SMALL piece.

Going viral is great for businesses that are selling a digital product or item that can be mailed. A lot of us, though, are selling to locals. Going viral may increase your visibility... TEMPORARILY... but it actually hurts your page's algorithm when that reach drops drastically the next week.

From personal experience the BEST thing that has ever happened to my business was to focus on consistent LOCAL touch.

Local outreach..
Local connection..
Local Growth..

Does your business have a local foot print?

This question I encourage you to carry with you for the rest of this week.

Does your business have a LOCAL foot print?

Really rest on it… is the answer a confident YES, a timid MAYBE, or a hard NO?

At Connect and Cultivate we have a heart to bring that local foot print to the front of our members business plan! We focus on the social growth with our monthly content days and engulf it with connections from locals.

Is it time for you to focus on your local foot print? Tell us your thoughts on this in the comments👇🏼👇🏼

Wow! The community has SHOWED up! Since announcing the launch retreat for Connect & Cultivate we have been blessed to receive a huge influx of messages. Asking who we are and what we do.

First, I am a local real estate agent! Don’t stop reading because of that! I’m not just annnyyyy agent. I’ve built my entire business by loving on my community. Iron sharpens iron! That’s why I’ve decided to join Connect & Cultivate as a Chapter Leader for East Florida.

Connect & Cultivate East Florida is a monthly membership for LOCAL female entrepreneurs to build connections and foster organic business growth. One of the BEST things I have ever done for my business is to get in the right room. I’ve traveled all over the U.S joining conferences and retreats of amazingly successful women from everywhere the past few years. I want that for all of us here in little ole Brevard County!!! I’m bringing it to you, so you can grow along with me.

June 7th-9th is our first launch retreat! Good news is you don’t have to be a C&C member to join us. Use this as an opportunity to see what the C&C vibe is all about. Tickets release May 13th, and I hope to see you there. Through amazing sponsorships and collaborations, we have worked hard to make the tickets as affordable as possible.
