She is also passionate about encouraging business owners to find a lifestyle balance of working hard, helping others succeed, and finding glimmers of joy outside of your work responsibilities.

 

Many of us feel stuck in our careers or unsure about what path to take next. We may feel pressure to follow a certain trajectory or adhere to societal expectations, even if it doesn't align with our true passions and strengths. But taking a leap of faith and trusting in God's direction can lead to incredible opportunities and personal growth.

We also discuss practical strategies for taking educated risks when making career moves. We'll explore the importance of doing your research, seeking mentorship and support, and cultivating a strong sense of self-awareness to make informed decisions.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of trusting in God's plan for our lives, even when it may not align with our initial expectations or the expectations of others. We discuss how taking a non-linear path can lead to unexpected opportunities and incredible personal growth, and how trusting in God's guidance can help us navigate the challenges along the way.

If you're feeling stuck in your career or unsure about taking a leap of faith, this episode is for you. Join us as we explore the importance of taking educated risks and trusting in God's direction to guide us on our unique paths.

Social media is just another type of marketing that focuses directly on your audience online!

Focusing on WHO your audience is. Depending on the type of business you have whether it be a local business, or maybe you sell a physical product or you sell a service, or even sell digital products. You have to first get into the minds of your consumers. They will tell yo to want they want, but you have to first find out what they NEED. Maybe they are a local coffee shop, and they think they want more followers on Instagram and virality on TikTok but what they really need is more people coming to their coffee shop and sharing about it. That completely shifts the focus as to who and how you are marketing. Instead of posting 10 more times each week, maybe they need to host an in-person event or get a local influencer or photographer to take photos in the coffee shop and market it to their audience. If you are an online business owner, you need to understand and ask WHERE is our audience online. Where are your buyers shopping, and what are they attracted to online? Both of these businesses (one a physical business and one an online business) they both need the same things. More leads, more traffic, and more strategic marketing. 

Bring VALUE to them without them having to pay you for it. I’m going to stick with my two examples from earlier. The coffee shop and the online business owner, let’s even say she’s a business coach. You might ask, how can a coffee shop bring value without a customer paying them? This could look like a coffee shop showing how they make their “drink of the month” or teaching practical coffee tips online. Heck, even hosting an in-person event to teach something fun about coffee making! (not going to lie, i would totally go to this lol). Because you know what coffee lovers love even more than coffee? Fun, energetic, involved coffee shops. We love the experience. Give your audience the experience online first and they will be running over to your local shop faster than you can say “ can i have a caramel macchiato”. For the online business coach or business owner, this looks like sharing what you KNOW. You don’t have to share every part of your step-by-step process but give them an easy valuable how-to. Something they can implement today. Maybe you’re a business coach and you could create a graphic about “3 steps to starting your business in 2023” You want to give them something they can do today or in the next week and get results. Once they get results from your simple methods, they going to be asking you “soooo do you have any openings right now”. Trust me! I’ve been on both the side of the business owner and consumer. I know exactly the type of person I want to buy from and it’s ALWAYS someone that I see is 1) bringing me value before I even buy from them and 2) Showing up as an expert in their field.

Direct them from your social media to your email list. You can do this by creating a freebie that gives them the value and information they need to get started in whatever step-by-step guide you could create. 

 

Social media isn’t the end-all be all BUT it’s a valuable resource that you should be using to your advantage! 

 

The reasons I just stated is why I fell in love with all of the possibilities social media can bring to business owners and entrepreneurs. Leveraging social media to your benefit can make all the difference! 

 

I have truly found a passion in helping others learn to leverage and market their businesses online through social media and if you are interested in learning about what it would look like to learn with me, go to bit.ly/socialserviceguide.

What I’m doing to start out 2023 the BEST possible way:

 

#1 I am prioritizing rest & restfulness. By this I mean focusing on what it means to seriously rest. Not just grab my laptop and work from the couch at night but really ENJOY my life. I tend to struggle with workaholicism if that’s even a word. Mainly because I really do LOVE what I do with my business which is working with clients on their social media and marketing. I truly love it. But just because you love something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have boundaries.

#2. Setting boundaries in my work and personal life.

#3. Creating daily and weekly disciplines to BETTER who I am as a person and in turn how I show up to the world. 

#4. Focusing on what is working instead of what everyone else is doing. 

#5. Quieting the noise in order to hear more from God in my life. 

#6. Focusing on areas I want to grow and hone in on what I’m good at.

Anybody struggle to try so hard to control every part of their own story? I know I have. It feels easier to try and control the narrative than allowing God to do what he says he will do. Giving up control of your life takes faith. It doesn't mean we don't continue to work & pursue what God has put on our hearts to do. It just means we walk in obedient faith instead of in self-reliance. We CHOOSE to trust that God who knows the beginning, middle and end knows BEST for us.
