The Shift Show

In business, there are ups and downs. It's just the way it goes. We have failures and then, hopefully we have success. I know that it so easy to get on social media and caught up in the comparison trap. With Blissful Eats and the podcast I have been sharing a lot about my success.  In general, it's really hard for me to stop and celebrate little things. I'm the type of person that just is like, "On to the next thing." Something I'm trying to do is just stop and celebrate.

After I posted a recent success on Facebook, I realized that my Facebook is totally my highlight reel. I haven't shared many of my struggles, but at the same time that's what social media is, isn't it? I'm such a positive person and I'm very optimistic. I'm totally a glass half full person. I like to say I'm a realistic-optimist, so it's not in my nature to just really share any of the huge struggles we have with Blissful Eats or as an entrepreneur in general.  I try and keep it real in other ways especially as a working mom. I just wanted to stop and take a second and just be transparent. When you see all the success that someone is having, really what you're not seeing is all the failures that they have had along the way.

Nicole Holland is a Master Coach and Marketing Strategist who specializes in helping service-based entrepreneurs take inspired action, to build profitable and purpose-driven online businesses. She is the creator of the hugely successful Business Building Rockstar Summit, which is a month-long, annual event where she interviews industry leaders about their favorite digital marketing techniques and platforms. Nicole works directly with clients who have a big mission and helps them design and implement strategies to realize their full potential through her coaching and mastermind programs.

What is the most effective form of social media?

Relationships. People just post things like billboards. Don't look at what other people are doing. Model the behavior that you want from other people. Look at social media like it's another relationships building tool. You wouldn't go into a PTA meeting and say to other parent's "ask me about my wisdom". You would ask them questions and get to know them first. Be in social media modeling the behavior that you want to get out of it.

I recommend to think about what is fun and easy for you regarding social media. Don't try to be everywhere. Wherever you are, be there well. Get to know the platform of choice really well and get to know it really well.  Engage with people and build relationships, without that, social media is not useful. Find what's fun for you and focus there.  If you don't want to be on video, then don't be. It doesn't matter how many people are using it.

What should entrepreneurs be focusing on to grow their brand?

Professionalism and authenticity. Have taste. Put things out there that are authentic to you. Put things out that will help people make a connection to you.

Erika Kerekes is trying to turn the condiment world upside-down with NOT KETCHUP, her all-natural "ketchups" made from (other) fruits instead of tomatoes. An award-winning food blogger, Erika made her first batch of Cherry Chipotle Not Ketchup after a very productive trip with her two sons to a u-pick cherry orchard. She spent the summer of 2013 making "ketchup" out of every fruit she could get her hands on and now offers five flavors: the original Cherry Chipotle plus Blueberry White Pepper, Smoky Date, Spiced Fig, and her newest flavor Tangerine Hatch Chile, which she makes without any added sugar (hello, Paleo friends!). A longtime writer and marketing executive, Erika is a native New Yorker who moved to Los Angeles two decades ago. She still can't believe she lives in a place where food grows on trees in her backyard.
