Last month we focused on posting allll of our awesome content on our Business Pages instead of limiting our audiences to friends and followers lists.

Now I would like to welcome everyone to the best month of the year! Yes, my birthday is this month, but I absolutely love the vibe and pride of February!

This month let's focus on the accounts you love on social media platforms and ask yourself a few questions as you find yourself liking and sharing their content:

What type of content are they posting?

Why do you like this post?

If you shared it, why are you sharing this to your audience?

By asking those questions we get an idea of the types of content you like, the format of that content, and the type of content you think would be beneficial to your audience.

Now you have examples to spark your own creativity to start creating content.

Let's make this month a great one!

“Death and LIFE are in the power of the tongue” - Proverbs 18:21

Speak (and tweet) LIFE into your business, your goals, your dreams and all your endeavors!

If I had to choose my top three challenges at the moment, these are it. These are my biggest areas I’m targeting right now for growth in my business.

1. FOCUS - Sometimes there’s just too much going on and it’s hard to focus on the tasks at hand. My to do lists have been trickling over into the next day far too often lately. The key for me has been planning my day, writing things down and daily prayer and meditation 🧘🏾‍♀️ It’s helped me tremendously.

2. CREATIVITY - Continuing to have new, fresh content and perspectives is difficult, but it’s a necessity. Studying and reading have helped with this tremendously, but I have to continue to push myself out of the box!

3. PERSEVERANCE - When they tell you this is easy they’re lying 🧢🧢🧢 The key is to just keep going. Doors have opened for me because I continued to put myself out there.

Social media and reality television have made entrepreneurship and business ownership seem like an easy, get rich quick, 10 hour work week, flexible schedule, vacation every week, never work hard again a day in your life gimmick.

I refuse to get on Al Gore's internet and lie to anybody and make this seem like it's easy... because it's not. But I will say it's been worth every moment and as my business grows, I've grown.

Let's make this productive and see how many items we can check off our to do lists!

On this day of service I’m reminded of the legacy of this great man that was taught so fervently when I was in school. I feel like I now better understand why his legacy was taught more than others, but I’m ever reminded that he was a rebel. His message of “Non-violence” was not well received by his oppressors, but his method of rebellion is now celebrated by them. I wonder why.

Dr. King’s legacy lives in each of us that continues to reap the benefits of his work, but we must never forget the responsibility that comes it. May we all remember that SUCCESS should and must also come with SERVICE!

A U T O M A T E

It’s the name of the game for business owners. The better we become at it the better our businesses can run and the more efficient we can be with our time.

Here’s what I’ve automated so far:

1. I create my posts at the beginning of the week (sometimes month) and they go out at their scheduled times.

2. My inbox responds immediately to all messages.

3. My sales emails go out periodically to follow up with potential leads.

I’ve seen so many more opportunities to automate and I’m so excited to do more.

Have you automated anything in your business? What has it taken off your plate?

13/01/2022

There are soooo many reasons you should create a professional page for your business or your brand, but here are my five favorites:

1. As business owners we know that numbers are EVERYTHING! Just being able to see how many people liked or shared your content isn’t enough. As you know, many people look without liking. Business pages tell you all the details about each post. How many people looked. How many people swiped. How many new people (who aren’t your followers) looked at it. As you try to grow your reach, these details are important.

2. Promoting your products or services is vital and social media gives you one of the biggest bangs for your buck in advertising dollars. If you haven’t tried it, you should! Keep following my page for details and Ads training.

3. When you create awesome content, the platforms help you by sending it around to new people. Have you ever noticed when you see reels, they aren’t always from people you’re friends with or following? That’s because the new algorithm is allowing us to reach new people easier. Create awesome content…. Enjoy new followers.

4. I don’t know if your schedule is like mine, but sometimes I know I won’t have time to post for a while. Business pages allow you to schedule posts ahead of time so you look like you’re posting daily…when it could have been once a week or even once a month.

5. PROFESSIONALISM will take you a long way in business. People shouldn’t have to be your friend to do business with you. In fact, most people complain about their friends and family not supporting them enough. Create great looking pages and accounts so that people new to your business can take you seriously and be more willing to do business with you.

13/01/2022

I can’t tell you how many of my clients argue with me and say they can grow their business by just using personal social media pages. For many, they think they’ve made it this far doing things this way. However, the first question I always ask is “How has that worked out for you thus far?” Most hire me to improve/increase their reach.

So here’s what I usually say to them. Let’s visualize being your customer. One of the best exercises I’ve ever done in business was to visualize myself as a customer of my business. What does it look like? How easy was it to book my services? Contact me? This is how I know many of us can improve this experience…

If I’m a new customer, what does that experience look like in your business? Let’s improve it with step 1: CREATE PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTS FOR YOUR BUSINESS!


11/01/2022

This month I want all the smoke, but hopefully some of my future posts will help you see things my way. This month's focus is to create our PROFESSIONAL profiles using PROFESSIONAL social media accounts. The truth is we can promote our businesses using our personal pages, but we'll never get the reach we could get if we used the tools of professional pages.

Month 1: Create a Page on Facebook. If you're also on Instagram, you can either create a page or change your Instagram settings to be PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNT! Unfortunately Facebook doesn't make it this easy. You have to actually create a page.

To change over your current Instagram account to make it professional follow these steps:
Go to Instagram
Go to your Page
Click Edit Profile
At the very bottom, click "Switch to Professional Account"
Choose your settings and DONE!

You'll thank me later! 😘

Okay, so here's the thing... I've spent lots of time helping other people grow. I've helped people grow their businesses, grow their social media accounts, grow their income, and even grow their influence and ability to give back. So now it's time to focus on me.

I'm taking you all with me throughout my journey of 2022. Each month has a new focus and I'm going to be showing you all the ways I'm working to grow my accounts. Follow me on this journey and feel free to use any of the things I'm doing to help grow your accounts as well.

As of January 1, 2022, my business page had 377 followers and my business instagram had 84 followers. I've done the bare minimum on both account since I created them. Let's see if being consistent, putting the platforms to use, and using some of the same things I do for other people can be used to help myself! Let's grow together!

"I don't fear nobody out here! Nobody!" This is the 4th quarter energy I'm manifesting from ! One hard lesson I'm continuously learning in entrepreneurship is to keep my eyes on the ball. Instead of worrying about other businesses, I have to focus on my growth, my goals, and my dreams.

The truth is someone will always be ahead of me and someone will always be behind me. It's easy to become distracted by the businesses that are bigger than mine or doing something fresh and creative. Focusing on them, however, will only breed competition, doubt and fear. Focusing on myself is an investment that always yields great returns. Let's finish this year strong and fearless! 💪🏾

Guess what quarter it is! 4th quarter - 3 months left in the year - the last 92 days of 2021. It’s time to turn up the pressure on these goals so that we all walk into 2022 with momentum instead of regret! Let’s goooo! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

It took me over 4 years on Instagram to build 600K+ followers, a Network of over 2 million and comfortably make over $22K. All achieved through consistently showing up, showing out and nurturing a seed that I sowed in 2014 🌱🙌🏾⁣⁣

Over time I’ve come to realise that patience and perseverance are some of the most underrated traits in modern business. You see a lot of people “fail” because they barely touch the surface before they quit... 😩 ⁣

Yes, it may be a ‘slow’ process but quitting won’t speed it up!⁣⁣

Monday Motivation: When one sees a basketball player we usually see the ball, the hoop and a jersey. Some see the stats and skill levels, but rarely the business perspective. Kobe Bryant changed the game of basketball and since his retirement, has changed the business of retirement. He diversified his investments to include a media production company, a tech venture capital fund, and a host of global media and data companies. Most notably, he spoke English, Italian and Spanish fluently and spent a good part of his career serving as an NBA ambassador and international businessman. His travels around the world included him learning and interacting with other cultures and new languages in order to bridge gaps. We knew him as a basketball legend. The world knew him as a hero for global relations. RIP Kobe and GiGi. Thank you changing all the games you touched.

Moral of the story: The world is big and life is short. You can focus on the money, stats or status while you’re here but it’s your influence and ability to reach people that will be your legacy.

Morning Motivation: Steve Jobs was fired from his own company in 1985 when the Apple computer's popularity declined after its first debut in the 1970s. He had sold his Volkswagen bus and worked countless hours in a garage to start that company...and they fired him. But that same year, he linked up with a man named George Lucas and founded Pixar, the company that would go on to revolutionize digital film forever and bring us blockbuster films like Toy Story, Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo. In 1997, Apple purchased another one of Jobs' companies, NEXT, and he would later regain control of the company he founded. In 1997, Apple stock was traded at $3.56 per share. Today it's traded at $318.73 per share.

Moral of the Story: Operating in your gift will continue to open doors for you regardless of what doors may close.

Morning Motivation: Walt Disney was laughed at continuously for his failures during the creation of his first film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The film took much longer to create than expected and he ended up exceeding his budget by spending $1.49Million (which was a lot of money in 1937). Even after its release, he was still laughed at by those who insisted that an animated film could never succeed in the box office. To date, the film has made $418Million and today the Disney Brand is worth almost $130Billion.

Moral of the Story: "People will laugh at your dreams then hate you when you make them come true." - anonymous

Morning Motivation: In 1881, William Wrigley, Jr. was selling baking soda and bath soap. He had a chewing gum product, but he was continuously told people wouldn't be interested in it. To get the product off the ground, he started sending out free samples of his chewing gum to those who purchased baking soda and soap. People became increasingly interested and today, juicy fruit remains one of the most popular flavors world wide. The Wrigley's business is still worth almost $3Billion and holds the name of the famous Wrigley Field baseball stadium in Chicago.

Moral of the story: There's no glory without sacrifice. - Fillipino proverb
