Your brand is not what your website looks like or your logo, fonts, or colors. Your brand is your brand values. It's who you are. It's what you bring to the table. Your brand is defined by the connections that you make and the feelings that you evoke in others. Truly developing your brand takes a lot of reflection and could also require some pivoting. In today’s episode we’re keeping it short and sweet, but full of great tips on developing an impactful brand. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Personal branding beyond your logo and colors - defining your brand values
• Figuring out your unique value propositions (or branding qualities)
• Getting an outside perspective to find clarity 

“I want you to become the person that people need to follow because you're enriching their lives. You're adding to their life and you are creating value unlike any thing else, and that my friend will be your brand, the colors, the vibe, the logo, all of that.” - Dana

To build a successful business you need a supportive community behind you cheering you on. Sometimes, that community is made up of people who offer similar services to you,   have the same ideal client, or have overlapping business models. And you know what? That’s 100% okay. To find genuine success and happiness, you’ve got to start choosing collaboration over competition when it comes to those who run similar businesses to you! 

In this episode, I am talking to my two Instagram biz besties, Erica Reitman & Lisa Rigoli. These ladies are not only incredible women who are killing it online but they’re also coaches who specifically help women grow their business using this Instagram - just like me! Even though we’re all Instagram coaches, we bring a slightly different spin on topics and how we approach our businesses - and we’re sharing it all with you today.  

In this episode, we cover:

• Choosing collaboration over competition
• The different steps to getting started on Instagram
• Why 90 days is the sweet spot to see what’s working
• Embracing that you’re not for everyone
• Having a healthy mindset when working with Instagram

The key to anybody’s online success is consistency. It’s not being the smartest, the savviest, or the best at [insert skill set]. It’s about showing up, providing value, and playing the long game. Because if you want to build a strong and loyal community online, you need to build up the trust factor and create a safe space for your audience to turn to.

In this episode, I am talking to Laney Schwartz, LA mom of two, founder of Cook with Confidence, and the queen of creating incredible, community-driven Instagram stories. She is one of the biggest reasons I am on Instagram today (and every other day), and if you aren’t following her for her recipes, then you should be following and taking notes on how she shows up for her audience every single day. 

If you need the motivation to really go in and be yourself on IG Stories, show up, offer value, and grow your audience - you need to listen to this episode!

In this episode, we cover:

• From elementary school teacher to food blogger: Laney’s story
• How video changed the game for her business
• Why Laney always starts from the basics and builds from there
• How she put two passions together into one superpower (and how you can, too)
• Finding what feels good to you and serving your community with it
