Not all social media platforms are created equal and it's important to understand which ones are right for your brand and your business.

In this week's episode:

• I referred to this report from Sprout Social in this episode.
• The report above details where brands are planning on spending their time and social media dollars vs where consumers are planning to spend their time and dollars on social media.
• Facebook STILL wins. Every time.
• LinkedIn is "B ---> B" (Business to Business)
• The fastest way to find out what's going on in the world is Twitter.
• The fastest way to gain the attention of a brand is to shout them out (particularly in a complaint) on Twitter.
• The fastest way to gain the attention of an influencer or a brand on Instagram is to shout them out on your instastories.
• LinkedIn is a fabulous way to connect with other business owners and find joint venture partnerships.
• Don't forget about YouTube--it's owned by Google!
• The Tik Tok demographic is much younger and may not be your target audience.
• If you're not getting the ROI you want, you may need to change up your content or the social media platform you're using.
• Always deliver the content your target audience wants.
• Are you spending your time where consumers or businesses are spending their time on social media?
• Up to 70% of the number of folks who left Facebook after the "privacy breach," have returned to Facebook and are engaging more than ever in light of the Corinovirus pandemic.
• You are 100% in control of what comes through your social media feeds. (I detail how to do this in the episode)

My life had a lot more anxiety, sleepless nights, and poor health before I started practicing self care. Here are 13 additional self care strategies I use at least once a month. Complete show notes at https://bonnielfrank.com/podcast.

In this week's episode:

• I do not want you to ever take the word "no" or the phrase, "It's not possible" as possible answers in your life or your business.
• Those are not possibilities in my life. (I give detailed examples in the episode)
• When someone tells you "It's impossible" it only means that it's impossible for the person talking...it has nothing to do with YOU, your life, or your business success.
• Everyone I knew said I would fail as a business coach.
• I started (and succeeded) anyway.
• Failure is part of success.
• If you truly want to succeed, you CANNOT accept "No" or "impossible."
• Success (an manifesting) requires making a decision plus action.

Why use your great content marketing pieces once? Learn to easily use one piece of content (like audiograms or Instagram and Facebook stories) in multiple ways.

In this week's episode:

• In Episode 10, I mention 25 ways to repurpose one podcast episode.
• You can easily repurpose an audiogram or Instagram (or Facebook) story, as well.
• You can automatically have your Instastories appear on Facebook (I detail how to do this in the episode)
• Facebook is also experimenting with automatically having Facebook stories appear on Instagram.
• Adding an intro and outro to an instastory can dramatically change that social media story into a great piece of video marketing content for an email or future opt in to build your email list.
• This same piece of content can be used in a multitude of other ways, too (these are listed in the episode).

Being an entrepreneur is no easy task, and that's why the success rate is minimal. In this episode, I get real with a lot of the mental battles I had to overcome in my business.

Note: You may also want to check out episodes 5 and 25 for even more info on mindset.

In this week's episode:

• I asked my Business Fabulous Podcast Instagram followers if they wanted this podcast episode to be personal or profesh...the vote was overwhelmingly "personal."
• Your thoughts and your mindset have a great deal to do with the outcome.
• If you're thinking about failure...you'll likely see failure.
• I began my business five and a half years ago with no startup costs, no formal business training, no encouragement from anyone, no guidance, no desk or office, and zero online followers. I was also raising my young sons at the same time.
• The difference between success and failure is giving up.
• The most successful entrepreneurs are also the ones who don't give up, aren't afraid to try, not opposed to admitting they're wrong, open to new possibilities, and are not always the smartest people in the room.
• It took me 14 months to get a paying client because I was learning everything and DOING EVERYTHING BY MYSELF with no support, encouragement or guidance.
• To get the encouragement, support and guidance I needed, I read a lot of business books and articles, listened to motivational and inspirational speeches, TED talks, and podcasts and surrounded myself with as much positivity as possible. I detail more in the episode.
• I interviewed 25 different coaches (they each gave me one hour of free 1:1 coaching sessions) and hated all of them--that's why I became a coach myself.
• Giving myself breaks and allowing myself the time to feel my feelings has also allowed me to succeed.
• Getting rid of the negative influences in my life also helped.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Episode 5 Preparing your mindset, your energy and your environment for success in your business
• Episode 25 Growing your business with gratitude
• Carol Dweck's book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
• Episode 44: How to easily identify triggers, deal with them effectively and get rid of them

Triggers are things, people, events, situations, colors, music--literally anything--that set off a negative reaction in your mind and sometimes also parts of your body.

Note: This episode was taken from a Facebook Live broadcast and the content is stellar; however, the sound isn't perfect.

In this week's episode:

• Triggers are anything (people, events, dates, songs, etc.) that set you off and affect you--usually negatively. It is a thought, feeling, physical reaction in your body.
• Everyone has triggers.
• Triggers may come and go but, ultimately you determine what/who will allow to trigger you as well as those that won't.
• Identifying your triggers takes focus and reflection, but knowing what triggers you and how to effectively deal with them will improve your productivity.
• You are 100% in control of what goes through your social media feeds.
• Like, comment, share, save, archive posts that you want to see more of in the future.
• Mute accounts (silence for a period of time you choose) that you don't want to see.
• Delete posts that you don't want to see or that trigger you right now.
• Block posts and or accounts that you no longer want to see at all. You can always unblock them in the future.
• When you are triggered, you can ignore the trigger (person, song, event, situation, etc.) but this can be difficult.
• You can remove yourself from the same space that the person, song, etc. is or you can limit the times that you are in the same space.
• Surround yourself with positive people, songs, etc, that will help you to move through your day successfully and soften the effects of the triggers.
• When you are able to identify your triggers, the trigger no longer has as much power--YOU have the power.
• Our energy will go wherever our focus goes.
• Nothing can trigger you unless you allow it to.
