Today we are chatting all about reels and diving into the messaging behind them. One trending reel in particular that I've seen going around a lot has me thinking about the true message some of these reels convey.  

Before you share your next reel, ask yourself "how does this make me feel and how will it make my next customer/team member feel?" If the response is that it doesn't encourage you or makes you feel yucky, you might reconsider it. 

The reel I heard recently that didn't sit well with me talks about the need to support your friends like you support celebrities. While I am all for supporting friends and women in network marketing, this reel felt accusatory and placed the success of someone's business in the hands of their friends and family.

When we break it down, I don't believe the intention of the message was to accuse but rather to encourage those we love to trust us in the same way they do other big businesses. Although we might recognize this, others that see us post it might be turned off or even offended. 

As a consumer myself, I tend to purchase from people when I have a problem and I see them sharing the solution. That's why my style of coaching is to have you figure out someone's problem and share the solution through your content. And something always playing in my mind is "it's not about me, it's about them."

When we look at business this way it's so much more fun and we're showing future team members that they too can be successful!

If this episode resonated with you I'd absolutely love it if you'd leave a quick review or share it with a friend! And as always, I'd love to connect with you over on Instagram @leannemeiser!
