- Social media is a monster in a closet; some are scared to open that door for fear of tackling it! We know we can tame this monster, but where does one start? We know that nearly three-quarters of all Americans and 3.6 billion people worldwide use social media. And it just continues to grow! Mostly because social media helps people:
- Find and reach new markets
- Build brand awareness
- Drive sales in business Now, let’s open that closet door and tackle this monster because it may not be as big and scary as you think. Here are some tips to help out when tackling social media:
- Have a good social media plan with a clear goal to achieve success.
- Research which platform your audience hangs out at. You don’t have to use every platform.
- Pinpoint your audience so you can add value to the right people and market.
- Build relationships so consumers can get to know who you are and what your brand stands for.
- Use the right tools to simplify your social media marketing. Believe me, there are plenty out there to help you.
- Monitor and interact with relevant conversations to keep people engaged and grow the know, like, and trust value. Remember, you can start with a couple of key networks and build up to more over time! Most importantly, social media may or may not be for you. So, whether or not you’re doing brand marketing online or staying offline, it’s about being your authentic self and developing relationships.

Why having a personal brand is important
- Building your brand loyalty can be really fun! Ask yourself: who are you, and what do you have to offer? For sure, people in sales understand how powerful the know, like, and trust value is when building and increasing: customer retention, organic referrals, and the bottom line. Believe it or not, increasing all of the above comes down to branding yourself more than the product or service you sell! This doesn’t mean your service or product doesn’t add value; what it means is people do business with people they know, like, and trust! So, how does one build brand loyalty with the know, like, and trust factor? Through your personal branding, of course! Start building your brand by asking yourself these questions:
- How do people benefit from working with me? This is your emotional appeal.
- What are the words I would use to describe my work? Determine your description of what you do and who your brand is for.
- What do I do that makes me stand out from everyone else? Developing relationships so strong that when customers need or hear of someone needing what you’re selling, they think of you.
Not every mountain is worth the climb……
Define what is meaningful to YOU. Just because one coach or trainer says work 24/7 like no one else does so you can play like n one else does later…..doesn’t mean you have to, or that you are not giving it your all if you don’t.
What is meaningful to YOU?For me, my FAMILY has been #1 all my life.I started my journey back becoming self employed in 1993 when I was pregnant w our 2nd child……
Things have been rough, I have had some $10 months, some $100 some $100 months, some $10000 months (and many other numbers over the years……
But my FOCUS was and still is my FAMILY.
If you work so much that you neglect your family, you may be successful one day, but lose your family in the process…..then is that worth it?
I have heard many trainers say “treat your business like a business not a hobby” but in that some also say, if you are not working it 10-20 hours a day you are treating it like a hobby and not serious.
That is their opinion, and I disagree. This world and this life is about relationships…..Even if you are not married and don’t have kids, you still have other relationships in your life.
But everyone is different – you need to figure out what is important to you – and then yes, figure your schedule and WORK when you are working time on your schedule…..
Be PRESENT with your FAMILY and other RELATIONSHIPS when it is that time….
I have not always been perfect, and I have a workaholic mindset…..but I watch myself, and I have learned to schedule myself…..still a work in progress…..every day.
But I work consistently and productively when I am scheduled to work. that is the difference, and one of the big secrets to my success 🙂 <3

Although fear is natural, and seldom goes away wholly, fear can haunt us before and even after we’ve started in our chosen career.
However, understanding how to break through that fear can open many doors and bring massive success.
