Christy Harp, turned her catering business online and grew it all over Instagram. She is going to share some valuable tips today and give you a few things that you can implement right away. Christy harp has been a chef for over 15 years and has built her business online in the form of a membership site called TLC Foodies. Christy's goal is to help women achieve their health and weight loss goals, have greater understanding of food and nutrition without the use of restrictive diets, calorie counting or the elimination of carbohydrates so that they may educate the nest generation. 

My top 3 tips to grow your instagram:

1. Do not use the big hashtags. Let's say you are a fitness coach and you see everyone using fitfam so you use that.  I want you to do is search fitfam and then scroll down the list and use the things that don't have millions of tags. Why? Because your gonna stay in that tag longer and people are going to find you. 

2. Colors. It's all about colors. 

3. Consistency. You need to be posting twice a day. I know with me having 7000 followers I know my followers are not on all the time. If your post twice a day, you're doubling your chances of getting into their feed.

What would you say is has been the biggest game changer in your business?

The biggest game changer was listening to what my followers want as opposed to what I thought they wanted. I was busy creating meal plans and recipes. My Instagram course that I teach came about because people asked me to teach it. I think no matter what platform you're on or how you're advertising yourself it serves you well to either ask them directly what they want to see more from you or listen to the comments or the questions that your getting all the time. If this is the stuff that people are wanting to see from you then you should take the time to see if it's worth it. 

I think we always have so many ideas in our head and we're trying to figure out how we can

Denise Pomaski from the Granilla Bar has been cooking for most of her life! For the past 3 years, she has been working on exciting new Paleo recipes that infuse recipes from her Itailian heritage with the Paleo lifestyle! As well as being what we like to call our at home "Paleo chef", Denise is a CrossFit athlete, as well as, Crossfit Level 1 certified and a certified Crossfit kids Coach.

Denise was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. However, she currently lives in Houston, Texas with her four children, loving husband, Kevin and her two Mastiffs Izzy and Odin.

What is your biggest flop/disappointment?

Not being able to move forward due to lack of finances. The inability to just access money is probably been my biggest struggle.Whole Foods approached me a year ago and they wanted me in their store which was fabulous news. But we couldn't do it because of our packaging.  We're still waiting to do it because I need to change my wrappers so that they're heat sealed. This takes a lot of money that I just don't have until I can get a solid investor.

How did you come up with your sales strategy?

I just went with it. My husband helped me and we worked together on trying to just do everything we logically thought we would need to do. At the Slim Palate Cook book signing, I met quite a few people and one of them was April LeMaster. (April works for Diane Sanfilippo's). She sat with me in that book signing and she gave me advice. She said 'you need to be at Paleo FX this year, you need to make sure you have an Instagram account, you need to make sure that you need to have a Facebook account that's not just your personal one, you need to have a Twitter account, you need to go home and set up a website that's able to you to make money even if you have one order a week,'.  She kind of set my path that way and from that I kind of start posting things on Instagram.

Back to talking about focus. I've been going on a bit of a tear about things that are really important to me and I hope they're inspiring you. So far we're talked about the power of no, priorities, stress...and today is more about focus. Focus is something that I'm really working on because in order to work better and be more successful, I need to improve my focus. If focus is something you need to work on then I have a few thing for you to try!

Stop with Shiny Object Syndrome

As entrepreneurs, I think a lot of us have shiny object syndrome. We are always looking for the next best thing. We're always kind of popping around from thing to thing and multi-tasking and doing a million things. My goal for myself and for you is to really get away from that. We need to stop the multi-tasking honestly, I want you to think about where do you need to focus. We need to stop being all over the place and we need to focus on one thing at a time. If you feel like you are doing so many things and you keep adding things in and you're feeling overwhelmed because you're doing too much, then we need to stop!  I've talked about figuring out your priorities and always going back to saying no. It's all kind of in alignment. Have your priorities, say no to things that don't fit with your priorities and  get focused. If you're feeling stuck in your business and you feel like you're doing too many things then let's try out some of these exercises.

I love this quote from Chalene Johnson says, "When you don't focus, you're cheating yourself of success and the life you deserve and your life's purpose."

Now what? We need to focus.
