Cozy Business With Katherine

When it comes to content creation, we can often overcomplicate it and instead of content marketing being a fun way of sharing your work, it becomes another burden on a long list of things you need to do. In this episode, I go into detail about documenting your journey - a concept I learnt about from @garyvee  - and break it down with some ideas, examples, and simple steps that you can easily get started with, even if you don’t have a huge team to create your content for you.This is a simple (but not necessarily easy) way to start creating more content, giving your community more insight into you and the work you do, and keep a record that you can look back on one day and see just how far you’ve come.We’re doing a Documenting Your Journey mini challenge in my Secret Introvert’s Business membership this month, where I’m sharing my own journey but we’re also supporting each other and getting some accountability to try content creation in this way.If this sounds like something you’re interested in, come and join us in Secret Introvert’s Business for just $7/month (cancel any time): https://secretintrovertsbusiness.com

This is a topic I could talk about forever - mostly from personal experience, but also after years of working with introverts and seeing the things that drain our energy.There are so many things that I take into consideration and am constantly tweaking, refining and reviewing in my business to make it better support me and my strengths (instead of working against me, like I did for MANY years following misaligned strategies)In this episode, I share:Three things I think we need to be aware of when making our business more introvert-friendly;The greatest skill an introvert can learn to get less drained by the noise online, following others, and getting swept up in systems, strategies, and business models that appear great but aren't necessarily alignedThe #1 thing that I've found has made me more energised than ever to work in my business.If you're interested in learning more about my brand new membership, Secret Introvert's Business, you can check that out at https://secretintrovertsbusiness.comAnd if you'd prefer to watch this episode (and other trainings on creating an introvert-friendly business) on Youtube, make sure to come over and subscribe at youtube.com/katherinemackenziesmith

The latest episode of Emerge + Expand is a recording from a live I recently did in the Introvert Friendly Business Facebook group, answering a question around resistance to booking in a photoshoot.

Do you ever just have a conversation with someone and it's SO in alignment not just with your own journey but also with your way of witnessing the evolution of your business over the years? That's what this episode of Emerge + Expand was for me.Sora Schilling is one of my all time favourite people, from the second we first met, her energy was like a warm embrace and it is a joy to connect with her again for this special episode of the podcast. I always say the most recent episode is my favourite, and this will be one I come back to time and time again. Join us for this new Do Business Differently interview where we talk about:02:18 - The importance of embracing your own journey instead of fighting where we think we should, plus how Sora navigates this herself and what she recommends for finding your 'thing'.07:14 - Why starting over again or starting from 0 can be an incredible opportunity to stop and listen instead of hustle and how Sora transformed her business from this place.13:02 - How to discover the best systems and methods for you by starting from yourself first and then finding what supports you best, instead of what's popular.15:57 - Letting go of what we think we 'should' have and instead becoming a magnet for aligned clients instead of being resistant to who we are.19:19 - How to honour the deeper purpose of your work, give people a taste, and let go of the linear path (and what to do instead).23:00 - What to do when you feel good about something you're creating (even if it didn't get the result or outcome you wanted).
