4. A Lot Can Change In A Year

Around this time last year, I was ( in the throes of uncertainty/ lost a big investment/ life felt chaotic, my anxiety was at an all time high) and the future felt unclear.
Today, I feel present, happy. I just celebrated ( a successful business launch, reinvested in a long term asset with lower risk/ 3 months post surgery etc.) and I’ve never felt more at peace with whatever comes my way.
I don’t say this to brag, but I say this to remind you that brighter days are ahead and that life can and WILL change. —-(You are resilient and will make it through/ you just have to trust in God/ know that your resilience has no bounds).
You are the secret sauce to getting through every struggle, every heartbreak, every obstacle.
Don’t fret too much about the future because as long as you are present/ focused and guided, it will all be alright. ❤️

3. Make A Friend and Meet Up Challenge

✨Making friends as an adult is hard and after the pandemic even more so. However since I’ve built my online community here, I thought why not do some friendship matching !!! ✨
This is how we do it: ✨
✅ Leave your name, where you live and something about you (job, quirk, interest) in the comments
✅ Then feel free to follow people in your location based on shared interests etc, dm and meet up!
☕️ Oh don’t forget to tag me in a photo when you do. The power of community is only as good as the people participating so be bold, it’s not weird. It’s called netsocialising❤️

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. But this is such terrible advice because ( it’s something that’s held me back so many times in my life from trying new things/ it made me afraid to do things I was not so great at/ held me back from taking risks).

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. Especially when I saw others succeeding at it.

So I started slowly building an online community… 😅
And guess what? I bet you think I’m going to say I actually did really well…but yeah no, I sucked at first.
But I was proud that my not being “good” mattered less than being afraid. Anyway 6 years on, I can say I’m doing ok now and I’m even selling a few of —( state what your offers are. )

The best part of my journey was being able to let myself not be perfect, even to be downright terrible. And to settle into the fact that ___( social media / learning online marketing / selling while doing LIVES) wasn’t about me being “good” as so many things in my life have been, but rather being consistent in the face of fear
Real perfection is the freedom of just doing whatever you can in the moment and believing you can get better. And at the very least it’s about not being afraid to try

1. Work From Home

When you work from home you need to set reminders——( to reach out to people / to not make social media your constant companion/ to take frequent breaks).

Today, (I got to take a good walk with my BFF/ went to Starbucks and met (my colleague / friend/ employee ) and (spent an hour just laughing and connecting/ brainstormed a new idea/ treated her to a Latte ☕️ and we shot the breeze.) ❤️
💡My advice? Take breaks especially if you’re working solo from home. Go for some fresh air, a nice lunch, meet a friend and/or text someone who is far away… even if it’s just to say hello and that you miss them 🙏🏻
What are your best practices to keep connected, especially if you work from home?

13. What Community Means To Me

I was reading a book this weekend as part of my New Year’s Resolution to read a book a month.

And there was a quote that stuck out for me. It read ” Don’t waste time following people just because it will get you somewhere.

Don’t talk to people you don’t want to talk to and don’t talk about stuff you don’t want to. If you want followers, be someone worth following.”

That stayed with me and it had such an impact.

Here is what I did to make sure my content was worth following and I was remaining true to my social media purpose. I _____

It is true that social media forces us to think about (popularity/ likeability/ profitability) but I think there are other things that are important too___(curiosity, real connectivity and community)

Am I wrong to think this way?

12. Social Media Creates Belonging

People talk about love languages but I think a community language is also a form of love.

I am driven by (a sense of belonging/ meeting the needs of my followers/ communicating in ways I know are transformative.)

When I look back on____ (all the videos and images/ podcasts/ blog posts I wrote) and all the captions I’ve shared on social media, not to mention the LIVES,) it’s clear to me that___( I want to feel seen and known for who I am, the uniqueness I bring to the world/ be part of something bigger than myself/ help people where I know I can)

Belonging feels special. And I’m old and young enough to still believe that we’re all growing together, every day.

11. I Like Engagement

The adrenaline rush of this video of me ___( styling this shelf for my shop/ showing how I prepare my restaurant’s favourite meal/ showing how to plan content etc) kept me up late last night just going through all the comments.)

Do you think it’s ok to be honest about (wanting to grow an audience/ caring about the engagement/ being psyched about the engagement on social media )?

You may think no but _____( I like this game of trying to figure out what speaks to people/ these numbers tell me I am doing something right / data does not lie and what I share online and even in conversation is causing people to take note.

In all aspects of my life I can think of, I like taking notice of what makes people tick.. What has an emotional impact? What ideas and feelings make us feel we belong in this community/.

I know the numbers don’t always show me ❤️‍ and that wanting my business to reach more people can make me feel (so insecure/ nervous/ anxious about if I am doing the right thing.

I constantly think “who am I to ask YOU to participate in my journey?”

But then I remember to detach my ego and know sometimes the content will work and sometimes it won’t. What I have to remember is that social media has ( enriched my life / allowed me space to explore my passions/ made me diligent about showing my story).

And I’m not doing it alone. I’m doing it with you.
