There is a triangle of truth that you can (and should) be using to filter every business purchase or investment you make. Of course, you can be using this for every purchase in your life, and it stays applicable. We all know that scammers be scamming, so this is a tool you can use to weed out what is and isn’t for you.

Is your content too serious? Honestly, I have no clue. Only you know that. What I do know is that the idea of “professionalism” can be taken to an extreme, and that while business are built on solving problems, they’re also built on connection snd being yourself is a big part of that. If you’re a serious person, awesome, be that! But whoever you are, just be you.

In an online space that’s so focused on always doing more, getting bigger, doing better, I think you should set your focus on doing things that DON’T scale. If you want influence, you need to build trust, and if you can’t show up for your small following now, how can you ever expect a large following to trust you? Success is in the actions that seem too small to matter. Trust me, they do.

Back when I worked as a PT I would have to see up to 24 patients in a 10 hour day. Pardon my French, but fuck that shit. One of my favorite things about starting your own business is that you don’t have to work to some other person or companies pace—you get to work at your own. If you feel good seeing 20 clients per day, great! But if you only have the capacity for 10, 5, or even 2, then that’s great too. Owning your own business means not having to force yourself into work “norms” and instead working at capacity that feels great to you.

Every now and then I start seeing a flood of people “taking a break” from Instagram, and I truly believe it’s not the app that’s a problem—it’s how we use it. If you’re using social media to build a brand or a business, you’re going to have to be on Instagram, so you’re going to have to find a way to deal with overwhelm when it comes up because constantly deleting and re-downloading every other day ain’t the way. Overwhelm happens to all of us, so instead of trying to prevent it, you can take a deep breath and respond in a different way. We need social media for our businesses, so let’s figure out a way to make peace with it.

What do you do when you want to burn your entire business down ’til there’s nothing left? I’ve been lucky enough to never want that, but it doesn’t seem like an enjoyable place to be. Running an online business and feeling like you’re going nowhere or that somehow you’re doing it “wrong” can be frustrating, but instead of throwing in the towel, there are a few questions I think you should ask yourself.

I may talk mostly business now, but I am the *Movement* Maestro, and every now and then I like to remind you of that. I’m bringing this episode back from the archives because it felt relevant given the fact that it’s summer and it’s hot as shit outside, so if you’ve ever thought about cold exposure, it’s as good a time as any to try. Look, I’m not about that cold shower life but I did some learning about this a few years back, and while there are plenty of lesser benefits, there’s a lot of great impact it can make on our nervous systems.

Age is just a number—except for when it isn’t. I’ve had some clients wonder if they’re just “too old” to be starting a personal business on Instagram, and it’s a valid question. Even though social media seems to be a “young” persons game (whatever that means), there are millions of people of all ages online. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t care to hear a 20-year-olds advice about things, and I’m sure plenty of others don’t either. Which means they’re waiting for someone who may be “older,” and maybe that’s you.

Does have to be one or the other? Y’all know I’ll always advocate for doing the thing that lights you up, but businesses are build on solving problems, so you need to make sure you can do that before you do anything else. If you’re not sure where to start, start with this episode, where I’m sharing the three essential “E’s” to consider in any online business venture.

If you’re like me and you’re building a personal brand, you already know that trust is everything, and when building that trust with your audience, having a direct line of communication with them is golden. Enter: your Instagram comments and DMs. Managing them can seem overwhelming but in my opinion, you’ve got to find a way to figure it out in whatever way that works best for you.
