Today, we want to discuss how to not let perfection paralyze your passions. We’re here to encourage you to let go of “perfection” and to keep sharing your passions.

We  want to remind you that experience builds confidence. 

 And if you don’t allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone, to learn how to create because you’re focused on “perfection”, you don’t allow yourself to grow as a creator. You have to try new things to allow yourself to grow. 

Let go on perfectionism in 2022. Allow yourself to learn. Post the photos. Post the videos.

Today, we’re talking about what you can do if a brand ghosts you after you share your rates. Every creator has been ghosted at some point. It’s a common experience many influencers have and we’re here to talk about why it’s not a bad thing to be ghosted.

Tip 1: If you’ve been ghosted by a brand, remember, the influencer industry isn’t a BILLION DOLLAR industry. 

 There are brands casting, hiring, and looking for influencers and creators they want to partner with every season! My biggest tip for creators struggling with “being ghosted” is to start shifting your mindset from LOSS to OPPORTUNITY.

Today, we’re discussing how to measure yourself alongside your goals as a creator. Since it’s the start of the year, we want to discuss the three essential steps to help you measure yourself with your goals. 

While it can feel scary to figure out how to measure your goals as an influencer or small business, it is essential for growth. 

Step 1: Set the goal + why you want to achieve your goals

·      Diversifying your brand across new platforms 

·      Diversifying and opening new revenue streams 

·      Developing a deeper relationship with your audience 

·      Mastering your skills as a creator

Today, we want to encourage you to take a mental inventory of where your life and creative career are at. It’s important to take a step back and reflect how you’re feeling about your life and creative passions. Understanding where you are helps you decide where you want to go and what goals you want to achieve.

Here are a few leading questions if you’re looking to evaluate your life and career:

·      What areas in my life am I looking for clarity?

·      What does growth mean to me? 

·      Am I happy with my work-life balance? Why or why not?

·      If I’m not satisfied with my work-life balance, what would MY ideal situation look like?

·      What needs to change or adjust to allow myself to have a better experience?

·      How have I taken care of my mind, body, and soul?

·      Am I prioritizing my health alongside my career, family, and relationships?

Tune into the episode to hear us pick and answer one of these questions!

One of the hardest things about starting out as a creator, is to figure out what to put your attention on. There are so many things to learn as a new influencer or content creator. It can feel overwhelming to navigate the world of content creation. Today, we're breaking down how to figure out what you should focus on as a creator.

Tip 1: Figure out what Creator Life Stage You’re On

 Not every influencer is on the same chapter or page of their journey. There are creators just getting started and there are influencers who are more mature in their journey. No matter that stage you’re at, understanding where you’re at as a creator can help you determine what to focus on in 2022.

 Here are the 4 Creator Life Stages: 

 Seed: As a seed, you’re a new influencer. You just started your TikTok, YouTube or Instagram.

 Questions you’re asking as a Seed:

·      Who am I as a brand?

·      How do I take photos or videos?

·      Do I like creating content?

 Sprout: As a Sprout, you’re a new-ish influencer, but you’ve already started or established your social channel and platform like an Instagram, blog, or TikTok. 

As a new-ish influencer, you understand the importance of hashtags and you’ve built up your audience. But you might be focused on learning the business side of the influencer industry. 

Questions you might be asking as a Sprout:

·      What should be my content pillars or niches?

·      How do I build community and trust?

·      How do I work with brands?

  Daisy: As a Daisy, you’re a mature influencer with one or more established social media channels and/or platforms.

As a mature content creator, you’ve established your brand and you’ve experienced making money off your side-hustle or full-time creative career. You know who you are as a brand. You know exactly who your audience is. You know the value you bring as a creator. 

Here are questions you might be asking as a Daisy:

• How do I grow and scale my brand and business?
• How do I diversify my platforms and increase my reach?
• How do I consistently make money as a creator?

  Sunflower: As a Sunflower, you have established your brand across multiple platforms. You know who you are, who your audience is, the value you bring, and you’re consistently making money as a creator. 

Questions you might be asking as a Sunflower:

·      What’s next for my career? 

·      What products and services should I expand next?

·      What can I do next to expand my audience?
