The StorySelling Podcast

Recently, a friend told me "I just don't feel like i'm doing good enough and I don't feel proud of myself". This friend of mine has built multiple businesses, is financially independent, has made a name for herself... and she isn't even 30 yet!

So when I heard that, I thought, how can she think this way?

It occured to me that this is something a lot of highly-successful individuals experience, and it is called the "Impostor Syndrome". 

This is when you start thinking you don't deserve the success you've achieved, or you only got there because you faked competence, and you can't help but feel like a fraud.

Pretty extreme, right? But it's more common than we think. And what's really interesting is that it happens more often as you become more experienced or more successful in your field.

If you don't pay attention, the impostor syndrome can take over your life, and you can sabotage your own success in a major way. The good news is that you can tell the signs and you can stop it from taking over! 

So in this episode, I shed some light on how to tell if you have Impostor Syndrome + how you can get over it.

Say what? You wanna target a specific age group for your business? 

I've had a lot of business owners bring up that question in different ways:

- "How do I market to younger people?"

- "How do I target people my age?"

- "I'm only connected to older people and I think that's the wrong market"

Well, friends, it's more than just the wrong market... you're also asking the wrong question.

In this episode, I debunk some myths about targeting age groups and tell you what to look for instead so you can stop harming your business and start growing it.

Is your business making you feel like you're alone and nobody seems to want what you're offering? Then my friend, you need some visibility.

On this episode, I talk about my TOP 5 SOCIAL MEDIA TACTICS TO FIND YOUR IDEAL CLIENTS (and Expand Your Network) 

It's true, social media makes it a little tricky to reach our ideal followers and clients, but I promise that if you do these 5 steps consistently everyday, you'll have a steady stream of new followers, fans, and friends in your community that can relate to you.

* Disclaimer* : this is not a training that shows you how to have 100k followers in a short span of time. I like to put my efforts toward QUALITY engagement, instead of quantity.

I've made consistent 5-figure months in the last 3 years with only 4000 followers on Instagram and less than 2000 fans on Facebook. Once you know how to connect to the right audience, sales happen. And i'd rather have 5000 loyal followers than 20,000 strangers in my community

Why so toxic? 

2 days ago, I was talking to my fiance about how all my plans "went to trash" because I wasn't able to record 3 webinars like I scheduled.

So since he is my accountability buddy, he looked at the list of what I've accomplished that day, and he gave me a startled look. He says, "are you kidding me?"

That day, I was able to schedule content for the whole month of October, I made my team announcements, I did a team strategy Zoom call, I launched a brand new media gallery, wrapped up some projects over email, and I did a Live broadcast.

But after all of that, I was beating myself up for missing one activity. In my head, it was an urgent one that I didn't want to be behind on. And that's when I realized...

I just fell victim to toxic productivity.

Since the pandemic happened, more and more people have fallen victim to toxic productivity. But the good news is that you can tell the symptoms. And if you can tell the symptoms, you can fight it.

On this episode, I tell you about my fight against toxic productivity and how you can tell if you have the symptoms.

If you've been concerned about "not having enough time" to do the things you want to do... time might not actually be the issue. Listen up!

Here's the thing...

When I really look at the moments I said "I have no time for that," time wasn't usually the issue. It was that I had no mental space and energy for those things. And I think that's worth a discussion.

So let's talk about Time Management vs Energy Management in your business and how you can effectively manage both so that you can have a more positive attitude around your work.
