The thing about being vulnerable, leading from the front, and posting about your life and your business online is that someone’s always gonna talk their shit. So many people I work with are conditioned by culture and society to stay quiet in order to be “accepted” but y’all, that’s not real acceptance! Hiding yourself away like that is unsustainable, and you should be out here, showing the world who you truly are. That’s how you find your people. If the fear of ridicule is holding you back from showing up online… well, you already know what to do.

Let’s chat.

How do you explain what you do to potential clients when what you do is hard to explain? I gotchu. In life and in business, shit takes time to refine. As in all things, getting good at getting succinct is a matter of reps, reps, reps. Sometimes you have to say a lot before you learn to say it well.

There’s this idea that the only and/or best way for your online business to be successful is to coach people through a transformation you’ve had yourself—you need to be your own niche, and your avatar should be a past version of yourself. Sure, it might be “easier” to do it that way, but I call bullshit on that being the only way to succeed. Leaning on your expertise can work just as well as leaning on your backstory.

“I did this thing, I want to help others do the same”
A presentation shouldn’t be all about you
You don’t have to be your niche or your own avatar
It might be “easier” to tell your own story
Leaning on your expertise works just as well

If you’re an online business owner, or hope to be one someday, there are 10 things you need to understand. So many people hop online and think running an online business will be a quick way to make money or that things “should” happen a certain way, but take it from someone who’s been in the game for a while now, it’s not as simple as just creating a course and making a ton of money.

Not everyone who plays the game of business gets to win, but there is one trait I see that’s a huge predictor of whether or not someone will succeed online. Sure, there are some qualities that can’t really be taught, but the great news is that anyone learn, develop, and work for this X-Factor.

This throwback was recorded aaaaall the way at the beginning of Covid, but everything I say remains true today. It’s not always pleasant, but you’ve got to take an honest look at your life and take radical responsibility—for all of it. The good, the bad, and the in-between. It may not always be your fault, but unless you accept that it is your responsibility, you won’t be able to get anywhere meaningful.

Do you really want to spend all of your very precious, very limited time on earth catering to a company that doesn’t give two shits about you? Or do you want to create meaningful things for actual humans who appreciate what you do? We’re not just business owners, we are creatives, and if you spend all your creative energy pandering to an algorithm that doesn’t even reflect what your people actually want… well that’s a quick way to burn yourself out and give up.

People out there (yeah, I’m talking about you) are afraid to commit to doing the thing because they’re afraid of wasting their time. Yes time is finite, but committing to something, whether it “turns out” or not is never a waste if we focus on all the things we gain by having done it in the first place. Nothing is a waste of time when everything is an opportunity to learn.

Having an email list is something I’m very passionate about for all online business owners because when it’s all said and done, your email list is the only thing you really “own.” If you want to social media-proof your business—and you SHOULD—then you need a way to get in contact with and talk directly to your potential clients and customers. Enter: your email list. It’s not enough to just have one, you gotta be writing to it, too! In today’s episode I’m sharing 3 points I focus on when writing to my list that’ll help you write those emails, and actually write them well.

I’m all about consistency in posting on Instagram, and ideally posting every damn day, but with posting daily comes the fear of running out of content to make. What if I told you I knew three easy steps you need to take to make sure you never run out of ideas for content again? No, it’s not too good to be true, it’s legit, and it all starts with noticing the world around you. There’s content in every thing we do because it’s all inter-connected. The hardest part is paying attention.
