I mean how do you keep up with the ______( the need to be real and and the pressure of being PERFECT?) How do you deal with wanting to edit and have a curated look? Is it CHALLENGING to be authentic online? As a small biz owner _____(social media is crucial for my success/ showing up on my platforms brings me new business/ is overwhelming but I do it anyway) And whether the sqaure grids we build our businesses on are real or not, I _____(get to decide what aspects of my world and work I share/ I don't ever worry about keeping up with the Jones' / I tuck away my overwhelm and I try to make it work for my small business). So, for me, here’s the thing about being authentic on social media,____ (I can't control how people see my success, I have little control of how I'm perceived, I dont worry much about people judging me or my work). Every space has its set of unwritten rules, and I have very little say on those rules but I can put in the time showing up, taking people behind the scenes, working hard to present the real me so I connect with my followers and they connect with me. So how do YOU deal with the pressure to be PERFECT on social media? I can't wait to go back and forth with you in the comments. I learn so much from you in the comments.https://forwardforty.com/simplify/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/footerline-2.jpg
