I've seen my business and the businesses of those in Social Curator grow the most and the fastest as a result of collaborating, so I'm a huge fan of creating win-wins for everyone involved.

Because I’m a huge fan of this method, today I want to teach you EXACTLY how to find people to collaborate with to benefit YOUR business.

In this episode, I will teach you how to implement these three steps to find someone to collaborate with:

1. Make a list of 5-10 types of businesses that are working with your Ideal Client.
2. Locate and contact those business owners on social media.
3. Come up with a mutually beneficial collaboration for the two of you.

I'm the type of person who over-thinks over-thinking. I lay in bed at night unable to sleep because I'm making lists of things to do (grocery lists, email lists, to-do lists, people-to-hug lists), and finding ways to continue following my dreams.

>>But sometimes thinking gets in the way living and this causes my brain to succumb to stress and lethargy.<<

In light of this, JD and I carve time in our calendars to just be. We share a Google calendar and block out days for resting and catching up…and we also add time for vacations.

Whether it’s a week on a tropical island or a staycation in our small apartment, these breaks were exactly what my brain needed.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Signs to take a break
• How often to take a break
• How to prepare to take a break

Enjoy your time off, friend… You deserve it.

Friend, whether your sales slow down while people vacation during the summer or after the holiday season passes in January, every business goes through slow seasons.

...But not being busy doesn’t mean you should stop posting on social media!

>>In fact, slow seasons are a GREAT time to test, experiment and create systems for your social media planning.<<

Along with what to do in slow seasons, in this Q+A you’ll also hear me answer questions on:

• Should I pre-schedule posts on Instagram and Facebook?
• What should I do when my content feels stale?
• How can I compete with luxury brands without luxury-level marketing dollars?
• What content should I give away for free vs. what I give in my paid programs?
