Friend, whether you’re a brick and mortar shop, a service provider or in Direct Sales, our businesses are ALL people-oriented. That means we can’t be successful without connecting with others!

In today’s episode, I’m introducing you to one of my dearest connections, Jen Gottlieb. In this chat we talk about all things publicity, mindset, and building connections online and offline to grow your business. 

Jen is co-founder and Chief Mindset Officer at Super Connector Media. She is basically a PR queen and waaaaay cooler than I'll ever be!

Want to hear what one of the first pieces of advice I got as a business owner? Build. An. Email. List. At the time I didn’t understand why somebody would want to read a newsletter from a photographer. 

Even though I had doubt, I took my friends’ advice and started to seriously build my email list. And you know what I learned? 

>>Newsletters are a secret weapon in my business and the best way I build trust with my audience.<< 

I was building trust by regularly popping into people's inboxes and trust leads to sales. In order to grow your businesses in the long term, you need a way to connect with your community in a place you own and friend, you own our email list.

Whether you have already started your email list or have no idea where to begin, this episode will teach you how to start, grow, and nurture your list and start using your voice to connect with your audience in a new and personal way.

Can I share with you one of my favorite parts of my week? Going live on Facebook for an ASK. ME. ANYTHING. 

These no-nonsense, kick-in-the-pants, tell-it-like-it-is Q+A's used to scare the pants off me for the longest time *#realtalk they still kind of do* but now I look forward to them. 

Every week I go live as a way to connect with people in real time. For 30 minutes, I enjoy sharing my journey with you and most importantly what I've learned along the way.

Here’s a taste of what one of my Ask Me Anythings looks like. I talk ALLLLLLL things including starting a podcast, writing a blog, but 3 tips to growing your  Facebook group. 

If you’re asking yourself if Facebook groups are even worth it, groups are a great way to create a community for  your ideal client, do market  research, and provide helpful content for them.

Are you ready for things to get a bit awkward? This episode is hands down the most embarrassing episode that I have released *and that's saying a lot!* 

I’m usually the one critiquing accounts, but the tables have turned my friend. *Grab your marshmallows and skewers* because I am basically roasted and toasted by my good friend, Marcus Murphy, on a platform that I feel a little insecure about….LinkedIn.

One of my favorite things about Social Media is that not a single account is the same. Our profiles are all unique because they are our opportunity to showcase us and our passions!

>>The best thing about social media marketing is that you have control of what you put out and the experience you give to your followers.<< 

So boo, how are you showing up and using it? 

Oftentimes we make excuses to avoid writing e captions, put off going live until we are confident, or waiting to post until our business looks a certain way.

But Buttercup, you don't get confident until you do it! When you say, you want to show up authentically, then show up authentically and don't overthink it.

>>Just do it and be unapologetic.<<

We ALLLLL face barriers when it comes to chasing our dreams. The difference is, do you let them stop you or do you jump right over them and leave them in your dust?
