2. Getting Over My Fear Of Social Media
“You’re always great at everything you try” I’ve been told this a lot in my life. The secret to my success? Never try anything that I might remotely be bad at.

So when I learned that I had to begin using social media for my business ( my brain instantly said NO/ the thought that my life would be an open book didn't fly with me / I thought I’d hate talking to people I don't know and my life wasn’t fabulous anyway) But I became tired of limiting myself.
