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.https://forwardforty.com/simplify/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/footerline-2.jpg
