For the longest time, I used to believe that "sitting on the fence" was a bad thing and that if I wanted to be seen in the online business space then I would need to vocalise big beliefs and opinions.

However, after many years in business, I've learnt that isn't the case!

In fact, positioning myself in the "middle ground" gave me a much wider perspective to create a greater impact on myself and those within my circle.

In this episode, I discuss:

• My experience with being a consumer vs a creator

• Why I love listening to other people's perspectives

• Beliefs around building a personal brand

• Diversity in the way we set and view goals in business

• Why I'm a little "vanilla" and how this works in my favour

• My top tip to get a greater perspective on a topic of discussion online

• Considering the way we communicate in person and channelling this on social media

• Why I no longer watch mainstream media

The digital space is filled with online business advice, making it tough to know what to "buy into". I spend a ton of time on social media for work and fun, and let's just say, not everything clicks with me.

But, I've actually found some things that I do really agree with. So, in response to my episode "4 Things I Disagree With In The Online Business Space" here are some of the things I do agree with that could help you on your business journey!

(Remember, these are just my personal perspectives - it's totally okay for you to have your own take on them)

Let's face it, there is A LOT of business information to digest in the digital space - some of which is valuable, while others are a little more questionable.

As an avid social media user, both personally and professionally, I've found myself recently consuming content that I just can't bring myself to agree with - so instead I've decided to bring them to the podcast to chat with you about.

(And of course to normalise the fact that it's okay to disagree with things!)

In this episode, I discuss:

• Social accounts influencing others to opt out of purchasing a certain product or service, also known as 'Deinfluencing'

• The fact that people think saying "No." is a complete sentence.

• An example of how I professionally navigated saying "no" to a cold LinkedIn message.

• Reflecting on the opportunities that present themselves to identify if they are beneficial for all parties involved.

• People who believe solely in the fact that "you can manifest business success"

• The importance of taking action with your goals and visions, and how I handled this early on in my business journey.

• The age-old saying that "the customer is always right"

• My beliefs & misconceptions around passive income and why I'm no longer a fan of it.
