Thank you to our BNI besties for celebrating this momentous occasion with us. We love you all so much.
Thank you Kaylan Oakley capturing this moment 💕
Controversial opinion: "Going viral" is a terrible goal. Why? Because it doesn't really mean anything. It doesn't actually DO anything for your business.
Is it a good feeling? Absolutely. Will it help you gain followers? Probably. Will those followers be your target audience? Maybe. Maybe not.
Here are some better goals to focus on for your business's social:
1. Increase brand awareness
2. Build a community
3. Increase website traffic
4. Generate leads
Focus on building meaningful connections through your social media, and remember that when you create content for EVERYONE you're creating content for NO ONE!
It's great that your business is thriving, and I love that for you, but social media is not just about generating new business.
Social media serves LOTS of different purposes, like:
✨️ Building brand awareness
✨️ Nurturing relationships with existing clients and referral partners
✨️ Building brand loyalty
✨️ Serving as a portfolio or resource for clients
✨️ Targeting the clients you actually WANT
✨️ Establishing you as a thought leader in your industry
✨️ Setting you apart from competitors
✨️ So so much more
You may not want to hear this, but social media is a non-negotiable for your small business. If you're not leveraging social media, you will get left behind. You will miss out on potential clients and business. BUT it doesn't have to be stressful. Send me a message to find out how you can leverage social for your business!

Other people's opinion of you is none of your business. Your business is your business. So do what you gotta do to make it grow!! Don't let fear of the haters stop you from growing.
You are valuable!!! Share that value with the world 💕
Wanna hear a secret? Most people have no idea where to start with social media for their business. This is normal!! Why is that? Because you're trying to read the label from inside the jar!
Starting with FAQ type questions is a great way to get the juices flowing with your content. Sometimes as experts, we just struggle to get back to the basics of what we do because we do it everyday...and SPOILER ALERT...you ARE an expert. You just might need a little help from outside the jar to get the ball rolling.

I'm gonna keep it real with y'all. I'm really doo doo at leading my example when it comes to social media. How can I expect my clients to overcome their fear of putting themselves out there on social media if i can't even get over my own fear? So I'm doing the dang thing. I'm putting myself out there. Even if I can only help ONE business owner, it's worth it.
What stops you from posting for your business on social? Is it fear? Is it something else? Let me know in the comments!
PLEASE just tell me what you want 😭😭
The algorithm has been killing me the past few days. If you've noticed a drop in reach, you're not alone. This is why experimenting with different kinds of content is SO important. Onwards and upwards!
