This podcast episode came directly from an Instagram poll that I did a week or two ago.

In preparation for something coming in 2021, I gave four options for my IG audiences biggest struggle in biz:

* Content creation* Overall messaging* Mindset* Offer development

In order the results were content creation, offer development, messaging and then mindset. Which I actually found interesting, because I think mindset plays a FAR LARGER role than y’all give credit to…But that’s another convo.

Speaking with authority but not ego/superior

Doing it ahead of time (BATCHING)

Knowing what ICA needs from me how to connect

Super stressed, no creative juices (would benefit from templates)

Honestly, I had to take a deep breath after reading through hundreds of these responses.

I was torn. On one hand, I literally teach ALL OF THIS inside my IG 101 course. Like HELLO - THIS IS WHY I CREATED THIS COURSE!!! BUY IT.

On the other hand,
