 I came across this content from Dr. Izzy SealeyShe is an inspiration for good content on YouTube. Today apps and social media are designed to make us digitally addicted…I used to be addicted to Computer programming when I was 19 years old, and a student. After some time, everyone lost his addiction to programming… And it is not so for smartphones…I don't know why. For me, to use programs/apps and social media on smartphones/PC is disgusting, because it is not creative, just a big distraction…5-Day Social Media ChallengeDay 1: Awareness & Intention- Start out by taking a look at your screen time via your phone's settings app, and evaluating where you're at today.   If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.- Next, throughout this day, actively identify points where you reach for or are distracted by your device, and take stock of the emotion you feel when this occurs. Write down these emotions somewhere either as they come up or at the end of the day.- Lastly, after these observations, set and write down your intentions for this challenge — keep track of these so you can come back to them. Below are some guiding questions…*What are my intentions when it comes to reducing my screen time? How would it feel to succeed at spending more time engaging with the real world?Day 2: Declutter & De-noise- Begin this day by uninstalling unnecessary apps and removing distracting apps from your home screen.- Next, go to your phone's settings and turn off notifications for apps you find frequently distracting you.- Mindfully unfollow accounts on social media that aren't beneficial or relevant to you.What apps do I have that don't serve my life in a positive way? What apps frequently notify me in a distracting way? What accounts do I follow that either does not matter to me or impact my life in a negative way?Day 3: Rediscover Life & Mindfulness- Come up with a healthy replacement that you can turn to instead of social media.    - Think back to day 1 — what were the emotions that caused you to gravitate toward your device? Come up with an activity that might address these emotions in a more positive way.    - It may be a good idea to leave your phone or device out of this activity entirely.- Meditation is my favorite way of cultivating mindfulness and addressing my emotions in a positive way.- Try out wearable prompting: simply put a ring or bracelet on, which reminds you to take a moment to reconnect with the present moment when you look at it. Notice your weight pressing into the ground beneath you. Relax your shoulders, face, and belly, and settle into your body and breathe. Inhale deeply into your belly over 4 seconds, hold at the top for 2 seconds, then exhale softly over 4 seconds.Day 4: Reduce Temptation- Switch your phone into grayscale mode in order to make your device less interesting to look at. This simple trick can really help reduce temptation.- Create a “rest nest” for your phone by tucking it away somewhere away from your desk, allowing you to get work done more easily without its presence.    - Make the nest cute! The important part is the ritual — making a big deal out of putting your phone away makes it clear that you won't use it soon.- Identify a no-phone-zone— this can be your bed, desk — or wherever you want to avoid using your phone.- Put a hair band or a rubber band on your phone screen so that when you reach for your phone, you have to remove the obstacle before you can use it.Where do I use my phone the most? Where can I put my rest nest for the highest chance of success? What emotions come up when I have to remove an obstacle (rubber bands, grayscale mode) before using my device?Day 5: Resolutions, Detox & Commitment- Congratulations! You've made it to day 5. **Revisit your journal entries from day 1**. Reflect on how the challenge has gone for you.- Moving forward, identify detox days or times when you make a commitment to yourself to go without a phone for that period.- Make a commitment (mark in your calendar and set a reminder) to check in on your social media usage each week and continuously evaluate where you are in achieving your goals!What went well during these 5 days? What could I have done better? What times make the most sense for me to go without my phone? How can I set realistic and beneficial long-term goals moving into the future?My Video: How to Break Social Media Addiction? https://youtu.be/0AZLsLoyFYEMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast3/How-to-Break-Social-Media-Addiction.mp3

Do you have difficulty staying focused on any task you want to complete?

“I truly, wholeheartedly believe the world will be a better place when women have full autonomy over all aspects of their lives,” says Kiley Peters, whose dedication to helping female business owners create fulfilling careers and home lives through entrepreneurship led to founding her company Rayne IX. This executive consultancy firm asks clients what they truly want, what their pain points are, and how they can take the lessons they've learned to help other people. Kiley uses her own experiences (including a time of failure), her insatiable curiosity, and her unique way of connecting the dots to help women achieve their goals. And she truly believes that this kind of authenticity is key to not just differentiating yourself, but figuring out how best you can serve others. This fall, Kiley plans to launch The 100 Club– a women's small business owner directory and club, hoping to eventually gain 10,000+ members. To gain entry, Kiley explains that members must agree to help at least 100 women in their own lives become financially successful and personally fulfilled, thus changing the lives of 1 million women overall. There is plenty to go around for everyone, as long as you think in terms of abundance and not scarcity. While financial freedom may seem like a far-fetched dream, it is entirely possible for every female founder to achieve. Join the conversation to learn the importance of setting boundaries with your time in and out of the office, empowering and freeing yourself by “knowing your numbers” and figuring out your financial projections, and recognizing that life is too short not to take off your summer Fridays. Quotes • “My goal in founding RAYNE IX is to continue to help women build the lives they want for themselves, and for me, I really wanted to see women build financially stable and fulfilling lives and I think entrepreneurship is one of the ways they can do that.” (7:05-7:24 | Kiley) • “Hi, here's my shit. I'm going to own it. I went through this. I learned from it. Now, I can help you so you don't have to go through it on your own.” (15:09-15:20 | Kiley) • “Adapt an abundance mindset. There is more than you think there is.” (42:33-42:38 | Kiley) Connect with Kiley Peters: Social | @kileypeters + Linkedin.com/in/kileypeters Websites | RAYNEIX.com , BrainchildStudios.com, KileyPeters.com Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“We went where she was,” explains Mahisha Dellinger of the marketing strategy that built CURLS, an organic hair product line she founded 20 years ago. This was the strategy Mahisha used to launch her brand and grow it through a DTC model before it was one of the first four brands to launch the ethnic hair category in Target. Word of mouth spread and a customer base was built that doubled as a data source. Today, ambassadors across the country are still dispatched to concerts and comedy shows to hand out samples. Even with social media, nothing beats a boots on the ground approach. In addition to CURLS, which is available in over 400,000 stores, Mahisha runs the Black Woman Making Millions Academy, which is set to help 25,000 Black female-owned businesses with over 450 million dollars of free resources. She knows good mentorship is priceless, and Mahisha is determined to return the favor to other Black women who encounter obstacles in the business world. If you plant good seeds, she says, you will always yield good crops. There is nothing quite as strong as the force of word of mouth marketing. Join the conversation to hear how Mashisha built her business from the ground up, what's next for both of her ventures, and the two words she had for her former boss who once subjected her to racism prior to CURLS became a phenomenon. Quotes • “I knew that once you tried it, you would love it. So, a substantial marketing budget toward samples is important when you're product based.”(8:41-8:51 | Mahisha) • “Whatever you put out there is what you get back and you get it ten-fold. I believe in planting good seeds and harvesting.” (30:54-31:04 | Mahisha) • “Don't wallow in what you don't have, or your disadvantage, or whatever obstacles you have. Use that to propel you to drive forward. That's what I did.” (35:29-35:41 | Mahisha) • “Please hear me when I say, failing to plan is planning to fail. You have to make sure you create a robust business plan. You have to have that road map. If you don't have a road map to success, how are you going to get there?” (37:32-37:50 | Mahisha) Connect with Mahisha Dellinger: Instagram Mahisha | https://www.instagram.com/mahisha_dellinger/ Instagram Curls | https://www.instagram.com/curls/ Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“Fyli stands for ‘tribe' in Greek and ‘family' in Latin,” explains Jaclyn “Jax” Brennan, founder of Fyli, a private support network for female founders. Just as the U.S. locked down, Jax acted as a conduit for connection, reaching out to every mastermind she knew to create 150 online masterclasses, and offered them to beginner founders at no cost. Fyli soon evolved into its current model, and when collaborating with new businesses, Jax asks herself not only how they align with her mission, but what she can offer them. Leading with an abundance mentality means recognizing that there is room for everyone, and the more people who elevate a vision, the better the results. Certain boundaries are crucial, though. Your own community should hold you accountable to the boundaries you've set for yourself. Young women need to make ‘intentional asks' for what they want. Keep your expectations realistic. Success doesn't happen overnight. Join the conversation to find out why the word ‘no' shouldn't hurt, how to execute a partnership properly and to hear what Fyli does to help find you support even if their network isn't for you. Don't miss this episode that every female entrepreneur should get in on. Quotes • “When we all bring our best to the table together we move mountains.” (7:30-7:34 | Jax) • “When you are a startup founder, you can't expect to take a salary in Year 1, 2, or even 3. It takes time to build. If you come from an abundance mindset and you have a plan and strategy, step-by-step is how you get there. It doesn't happen overnight.” (18:21-18:39 | Jax) • “The way I approach partnerships now is ‘How do we both win?' The most important thing to know when building a partnership is their win. Of course, they care about what you want, but it's really about what they want and what success looks like to them." (22:11-22:27 | Jax) • “The power of saying ‘No,” and respecting your time and your boundaries when you've got to put blinders on, because there are only a certain amount of hours in a day, it's hard. But it's something we need to talk more about.”(26:11-26:23 | Jax) • “You have to show up to a partnership ready to give and deliver.” (22:38-22:45 | Jax) Connect with Jaclynn (Jax) Brennan: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/jaclynnbrennan Website | http://www.fylitribe.com Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

It was such a pleasure sitting down with Lindsay Pinchuck, an award-winning entrepreneur, consultant, community builder, and Mom. Lindsay grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, graduated from the University of Michigan and moved to Chicago. After moving to a new city and finding out she and her husband were pregnant, she realized that she didn't have support or community, so naturally, she started hosting events for expectant parents. These events grew internationally into a 7-figure brand called Bump Club and Beyond and many of their partnerships included Target, Huggies, and The Honest Company to name a few. After selling and exiting the company, Lindsay started her own consulting business that helps brands learn how build community. In today's epidsode, we talk everything from how to get sponsors for your brand and monetize a community to which social media platforms to build your community on.

“People want to be your advocate. They want to be your helper,” assures Elizabeth Rees, Founder of Chasing Paper, a company that pioneered removable wallpaper. As the third-generation in a family printing business, Elizabeth saw a need for peel-and-stick wallpaper made of traditional materials, designed with original imagery. Without a PR or marketing team, she networked relentlessly, attending every dinner and coffee meeting she could. She researched the top 50 women's magazines and personalized her communication with editors and reporters. Most importantly, Elizabeth sent an email introducing her product and explaining her vision to everyone she knew. This network quickly spread the word, which ultimately led to a writeup in a major design blog, and a huge surge in business. So much press at once can be overwhelming if a new business isn't prepared to meet the response. But as Elizabeth explains, no business is perfect right away. Receiving the same questions or complaints repeatedly from new customers presents an opportunity to address issues you've overlooked. Always to listen to your customers, and to be consistent in all of your efforts. At the end of the day, one of the best ways to launch your business is to spread the word. Meet Elizabeth and learn how she deals with supply chain issues, the value of keeping your team lean, and the myth of overnight success. Quotes • “With those two things, a thoughtful design and a high quality product, we were off to the races.” (6:35-6:43 | Elizabeth) • “Truly, sending an email is probably the most important thing you do.” (16:24-16:27 | Elizabeth) • “There's just no way that you can build a perfect business right away. Once you can get over that, you can recognize that what it's about in the beginning is how quickly you can shift, how quickly you can pivot, how quickly you can make small adjustments to be more in line with what your customer is asking you to do.” (20:26-20:45 | Elizabeth) • “You have to share your story over and over again, because when you share it, other people will start sharing it for you.” (26:33-26:40 | Lindsay) • “Business is hard 70% of the time. I think people like to think that it's the opposite, that it's easy and fun and whatever. But when you have those successes and you have those days where something is really good, really memorialize them.” (47:40-47:58 | Elizabeth) Connect with Elizabeth Rees: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/chasingpaper Website | http://www.chasingpaper.com Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“What's the worst that can happen?” Jenn Sherman asked herself when she sent an email to John Foley, who was looking for people to join his new company called Peloton. She thought the last thing anyone in the youth-obsessed fitness industry would want was a 40-something mother of two. She and John hit it off instantly, and soon she became Peloton's original instructor. The Peloton community is equally drawn to her warm, approachable nature, and her willingness to show that she isn't perfect. The resulting fame has its challenges, but it's far outweighed by her blessings. Jenn never expected to have a second career. She simply fell in love with “spinning.” It combined her two competing obsessions: exercise and music. The rest was putting one foot in front of the other. She encourages anyone who feels stuck in life to JFDI (Just F***ing Do It). Living the life of your dreams is closer than you'd ever imagine, you just have to take a chance on yourself. Join Jenn and Lindsay in conversation to hear the difference between a big connection and a big following, living a life unexpectedly in the public eye, and Jenn's eternal love for Rob Lowe. Quotes • “I didn't have to create a brand, this was the brand: very into pop culture, music, all things happening in the world, very much like a talk show kind of vibe. That's kind of the personality that I am.” (31:03-31:24 | Jenn) • “The one piece of Peloton that I've gotten used to but I am still not comfortable with is this public piece, honestly. I've taken some missteps at Peloton. I've said the wrong thing or done the wrong thing– I'm human– and I was not prepared for the onslaught of what happens.” (34:40-35:11 | Jenn) • “I've just tried to keep some things for my family and not have everything be out there, but for the most part, this Peloton journey has brought me so many blessings that I don't even feel comfortable complaining.” (38:07-38:33 | Jenn) • “It's so meaningful to me to be able to show my kids that I could do this. At 40 years old, playing tennis and meeting my girlfriends for lunch just isn't cutting it anymore. I want to do something. What am I good at? What do I love? Let me do this. Let me give it a shot.” (40:13-40:31 | Jenn) Connect with Jenn Sherman: Jenn Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/pelotonjenn/ Peloton Instagram | http://www.intagram.com/onepeloton Peloton Website | https://www.onepeloton.com/ Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“Our mission is really to give our audience the tools and the inspiration and everything they need to design and create the life of their dreams,” says Camille Styles, Founder and Editor-In-Chief of CamilleStyles.com, a digital publication that covers a variety of topics such as food, events, lifestyle and beauty. With her site, Camille became one of the first influencers. And though the digital landscape changes constantly, in its 13th year, her website brings in 15 million views and 1.3 million unique viewers each month. Her secret to success? Camille Listens to her audience and delivers them quality content in a digital age, which people are clamoring for, especially in long form. So she continues to focus on her original site rather than pivot toward social media. At any time the algorithm can change and drastically reduce a website's reach. To keep her audience happy, Camille focuses on her email list, which also provides the opportunity for readers to give feedback and ask questions. Now more than ever, you can monetize your business online. Join the conversation to hear Camille explain how to monetize your online business and the pros and cons of each method, why it's important to be picky about the brands you partner with, and a hint at the new product line she is developing. Quotes • “Discovery is so important for anyone who works online. Whether it's running a small business online or a content business, everyone wants discovery and it's so hard in the current world that we're living in where there's so much fighting for everyone's attention.” (14:38-14:57 | Camille) • “I've seen a lot of my peers rely solely on one channel for getting traffic. And the problem is when one algorithm changes, it can be really destructive to the business.” (15:20-15:36 | Camille) • “As a general rule, you can't try to trick the system in any way. You just have to create good content and write what your audience is searching for. That's really the only way to be successful with Google.” (16:41-16:53 | Camille) • “My litmus test for when a new brand approaches me about working together is always, ‘Can I tell a better story with this brand than I would have been able to tell without the brand?” (25:52-26:03 | Camille) Connect with Camille Styles: Website | http://www.camillestyles.com Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/camillestyles Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Kelly Fair is known as “The Mentor.” Thirteen years after founding her mentorship organization Polished Pebbles, Kelly now serves 1,300 girls annually at over 50 schools and sites in the Chicago area. Consisting of four core programs, young women of school age develop the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. The core school day/after school program provides social-emotional learning and mentoring. Here, the girls learn how to S.H.I.N.E. (Smile, say Hello and Handshake, Introduce themselves, Nod, and End the Conversation), set goals, and dress for success. Kelly's organization offers additional programs that include a work/study program and job shadowing with partnering businesses, particularly in the trades where young women are underrepresented. Kelly understands the need for young women to be mentored. Though an enthusiastic and successful primary school student, once she entered sixth grade, like many girls of that age, Kelly found her self-esteem and enthusiasm for school plummeting. Luckily, she was an avid reader of Essence magazine, where she saw Black women lead rich lives and have successful careers. So, she sought out a summer internship at a local salon, where she overcame her shyness and learned about running a business. Later, when her dear mentor Reverend Doctor Linda Shepherd passed away, Kelly realized she wanted to continue Linda's mission—to mentor other girls to success. It is our responsibility to set the foundation of success for our future women leaders. Join today's conversation to hear Kelly explain why you should always let your mentees see you sweat, why you should stay humble but always let people know how much you've scaled, and the importance of staying true to what you actually want to do. Quotes • “I think people really underestimate how it really doesn't take that much to engage young people. I think we underestimate how impressed they are that people care that much about them to show up.”(17:57-18:15 | Kelly) • “We need male allies as well who are affirming for girls that ‘Yes, this is important; yes, you will work with me; yes, there are not a lot of women but you can be here.'” (33:55-34:05 | Kelly) • “Everybody wants to be part of a winning team. If your idea is winning, you'd better not block people from being a part of supporting you.” (51:03-51:12 | Kelly) Connect with Kelly Fair: Kelly on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/kfairthementor Polished Pebbles on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/polishedpebbles Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“My business model is powered by ADHD,” says Alyson Zeller founder of Ally Brooke designs, “You can turn your disability into an ability.” And Alyson certainly has. At just 18 years old, she has created a successful design business where she designs personalized items ranging from blankets to phone cases with her signature designs. And since the designs are so Instagrammable, she's been able to promote her products without spending a cent on marketing. Alyson says that because of her ability to hyperfocus with her ADHD, she has been able to find success, and she is proud to spread the message to other young people that they can do the same. Recently, Alyson was accepted at 21 out of the 22 schools she applied to, and is now using her business earnings to pay for school. Of course, she hasn't totally done it alone. Alyson understands the importance of networking, and of delegating tasks outside of her wheelhouse to people who can do it better than she can. Her mother, for example, works as her “superhero” business manager, while she lets her dad handle the math side of things. She has offered free designs to different companies as a future investment. No matter your age, you can always find success. You just have to focus on what makes you shine best. Join the discussion to hear Alyson explain why it's essential to be specific when asking what you want, the importance of having a plan, and what her plans are to continue her business from her dorm room in the fall. Quotes: • “My mom, besides emotional support, helps me with pricing because I love making art so much I forget that I need to get paid.” (12:30-12:38 | Alyson) • “At the end of the day, art is where I really truly shine. And I think it's important if you know you're good at something and you're fortunate enough to have some help, to step back and not control it as much and let them shine at what they shine at, and let you soar at what you soar at.”(19:53-20:08 | Alyson) • “You can't be scared to ask for help, even though you don't know the person face-to-face, you've got to just try to make a connection and that's what I've done.”(25:30-25:38 | Alyson) • “If you keep trying, and you keep doing it, and you don't take no for an answer, you'll finally get it. The most important thing is to just keep chasing that dream.”(26:59-27:07 | Alyson) Connect with Alyson Zeller: Website | https://allybrookedesigns.com/ Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/Allybrooke_designs Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Growing up with her family in Liberia, “food was the focal point of all our happiest memories together,” recalls Perteet Spencer, Co-Founder of Ayo Foods. Perteet began her career as a self-described “career foodie,” working for over a decade at General Mills SPINS. Along the way, she noticed that West African food was not being represented in the grocery store, and realized that this was the contribution she wanted to make to the food and wellness space. She launched Ayo in July 2020 with three frozen items, including her family staple cassava leaf. Since then, Ayo Foods has expanded from 50 Whole Foods stores to 4500 in just two years, and added a line of pepper sauces to the repertoire. Part of the proceeds from Ayo go toward funding the Moonboi Project, which, in partnership with Girl Power Africa, is cultivating 15 acres of farmland in Liberia to be used as seed capital for women affected by war and disease to start their own businesses. Launching a product in grocery stores right before a pandemic presented a lot of obstacles, but it also meant that more people were cooking and eating at home. When starting and growing a potential business, Perteet says you have to be all in, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Be willing to change your mind about what you need, and build the community around you that will accelerate your vision. Join Lindsay and Perteet as they discuss the importance of leaning into outside partners, and the many hats that we wear as entrepreneurs. Quotes: • “We knew that the design elements in addition to great food were going to be important because if you think about West African flavors as a platform, it's relatively young, so we knew we needed to get people invested in the total idea of what to expect.” (11:40-11:59 | Perteet) • “It's scary to leave the security of a full-time job, but it reached a point where I was shortchanging the potential of the business. And quite frankly, I started to feel a little resentment toward my full-time job.” (29:10-29:29 | Perteet) • “Particularly today, entrepreneurship can be very glamorized, you get to go on cool podcasts, but no one sees me doing my 6:00 am FedEx run.” (30:06-30:18 | Perteet) • “I think sometimes when you start something, you assume you have to figure it out all by yourself, and the reality is your idea has the potential to be much, much bigger if you engage the right people.” (37:59-38:10 | Perteet) Connect with Perteet Spencer: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/ayofoods Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“I'm a firm believer that crazy good doesn't have to be crazy expensive,” says Lindsay Holden, co-founder of Odele hair products. After leaving her corporate job to spend more time with her family, Lindsay knew she wanted to come up with her own product. Lindsay realized there was a blank space for high-quality organic hair care products that didn't break the bank. Since launching in the beginning of 2020, Odele has sold exclusively at Target. Her up-close experience with the consumer market was invaluable in developing Odele, not only as it familiarized her with what they want, but how they come to choose products. Through her prior corporate experience, Lindsay has created an organic force of promotion for her products, without the help of multi-million dollar advertising budgets like Odele's competitors often have. According to Lindsay, once your product shows up on shelves, you want to keep it there, bearing in mind shipping issues and making sure it's creating a disruption in its shelf space. When the product delivers what it says it's going to do, it earns its own media, which is irreplaceable social proof. Learn how to break things down into sizable chunks when you're overwhelmed, why contractors and part time help are just as valuable as a team of full time employees, and why staying curious enough to ask the right questions is more valuable than having all the answers. Quotes • “I went to the large company for the experience but I never saw it as the end all/be all for me. I knew I wanted to do something on my own terms eventually.” (6:06-6:15 | Lindsay Holden) • "I realized that I was at this point in my career where I was giving to the company more than I was receiving back and it was coming at the cost of time with my kids.”(6:34-6:45 | Lindsay Holden) • “I'd say it was really the experience at Target and being so close to the consumer, putting the consumer first and understanding how to execute and what makes it successful. It's one thing to get it on the shelf, it's another to make sure it's successful when it gets there.”(23:09-23:27 | Lindsay Holden) • “We were profitable out of the gates. We built this in a kind of old school way.

“The point of a brand is to provoke emotional affinity, and no one can do that like a person,” says Jessica Zweig, founder of SimplyBe. In 2008, with no business experience, Jessica co-founded Cheeky Chicago, the largest online platform for singles in Chicago. Despite growing a business that she was one of the faces of, she eventually realized she needed to part ways with her then co-founder. She sent an email to her network, and before she was earning tens of thousands of dollars a month in retainer fees for her advice and consultation. It was then that she realized SHE was her own best asset and brand. People want to buy from people, and incorporating yourself into your branding strategy not only increases your current growth, but keeps the door open for long term possibilities. Some people are understandably reticent to put themselves out there on social media, but it's worth the potential impact. As Jessica says, it's crucial to let go of caring what anyone thinks of you. To grow a sustainable brand, it is crucial to create continuous opportunities. Here, Jessica recommends asking 3-5 people in your life to describe your intrinsic value, explains how our vibe attracts our tribe, and the difference between being a business owner and a shopkeeper. Quotes • “When you create a business that is so intrinsically connected to you, which if you're an entrepreneur it always is, to say I want to walk away from this is equivalent to saying to yourself I'm going to cut off my right foot. It just doesn't equate because you're so connected. But I had to follow the call of my soul.” (7:34-7:54 | Jessica) • “I realized that I had an asset called my personal brand. ‘Cheeky' was not the brand, I was. And I didn't even realize that.” (13:13-13:27 | Jessica) • “People do business with people. That's my mantra. When a brand message is shared by a person, versus the company sharing that brand message it gets 561 percent more engagement.” (20:06-20:21 | Jessica) • “We all have a unique reason for being here, and your product and your business can be manifestations and expressions of that reason for being.”(24:57-25:05 | Jessica) • “People want you to win.” (42:51-42:53 | Jessica) • “If you have those people who have your back, who are going to lift you up, call you out, but support you every step of the way, you won't fail.” (44:57-45:08 | Jessica) Connect with Jessica Zweig: Website | https://simplybeagency.com/ Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/jessicazweig Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“My life changed because of an ice cream cone,” recalls Tamara Keefe. Growing up in a large family of humble means, she was never able to join her friends for ice cream after church due to financial reasons. One day, her mother found an old hand-cranked ice cream maker and began making ice cream at home. Soon, every Sunday, friends, family and neighbors were coming over to Tamara's house, each bringing different ingredients to make ice cream. Tamara and her family became quite popular around town. Fast forward to years later. After years of great success in the corporate world, Tamara realized she was miserable and needed a change. After complaining that there wasn't a proper creamery in town, her friends encouraged her to return to start an ice cream business. After attending Penn State's “ice cream college,” she opened Clementine's, an award-winning microcreamery with six locations throughout Missouri, three more in the process of opening, and shipments made all over the country. The shop's practices stand out against the majority of industrial ice cream making practices in the country, and it's known for its quality and unique flavors, including infusing them with booze. Ice cream was what gave Tamara her first sense of community as a child. And now with her shops, she fosters the same sense of community among her neighbors and her team. Join us to learn the importance of connection, community, your team and your network---and how they can all work together to build an amazing brand. Quotes: • “Ice cream is the most emotional food item there is out there, because people are so tied to these memories. When you think of your first ice cream cone, it's with your grandparents, it's with your friends, it was maybe the first date you ever took a girl out on.” (8:58-9:13 | Tamara) • “We're in neighborhoods. People walk out, kids come in after school, there are restaurants around, universities, colleges. We're so entrenched in peoples' lives.” (25:56-26:08 | Tamara) • “The thing that we long for the most is to be connected to each other. Ice cream does that. When you're holding an ice cream cone, you're not holding a cell phone. So I think it has this magic special place for people because it's really about connection and joy and community with each other.” (27:39-28:02 | Tamara) Connect with Tamara Keefe: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/clementinescreamery/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@clementinescreamery?lang=ceb-PH Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Despite all of the success Donna Rudolph has had with Teeny Tiny Treatments, she still only considers it her side hustle. All three of Donna's babies suffered from the dermatological condition called cradle cap, and while there are products already on the market, Donna found them to be ineffective and time-consuming. So, she created Noggin Wipes, her own avocado-oil based wipes, which were quickly picked up by top retailers like buybuy BABY. Donna remains a full-time teacher, though she hopes to one day be able to focus solely on her entrepreneurial passions. Donna's success is a testament to the power of networking, which she advises is the most crucial aspect of growing a business. From the beginning, Donna put herself and her product in front of people who could help her, or connect her to others who could. Donna prefers to focus on her podcast and newsletter, realizing the importance and circular nature of giving. Whatever your method of engagement is, it's about putting, and keeping, yourself on the radar. You don't have to risk it all upfront to find success. It's possible for your entrepreneurial journey to begin as a side hustle. Follow along as Donna shares the importance of persistence, what message you should give to your children about prioritizing work, and why you are always your own worst enemy–and greatest ally. Quotes • “I'm not saying that you should just buy the first package that you see of someone who says they're going to help you, but there are certain things that are totally worth spending money on. You have to spend money smartly. But when you do, it's totally worth it.” (13:42-13:56 | Donna) • “You have to go into your business like you're going to Vegas. You have to think, ‘I'm about to lose money.' And as much money as you think you're about to lose, you're going to lose double that amount, when you're creating a product.” (16:06-16:20 | Donna) • “It's all about being on the radar. You just want to get yourself on the radar. So I would say my biggest tip is to get yourself on everybody else's radar.” (39:54-40:04 | Donna) • “You do not need to have a million-dollar marketing budget to get on people's radars. It's about being strategic and being resourceful and utilizing people who are in your network and in your space to help share your message.

Through the isolation of the pandemic, 17-year-old Sophia Rascoff realized that people were connecting through two things: social media and food. Her own family bonded over food during this time in a way they never had before. With traditional social media focusing more negative aspects of life, she decided to create a vertical social media platform celebrating the joys and connectivity of food. Together with her father Spencer Rascoff, founder of Zillow and Hotwire, they founded Recon Food. According to Sophia, a coding enthusiast, Recon Food allows people, especially people in slightly older generations, to enjoy what's great about social media without all the toxicity. Spencer recognized that social media platforms are becoming increasingly specific, and centered around a single hobby, like running or hiking. As a result, Recon Food has fostered a genuine and enthusiastic community across the world. Between running cross-country, playing chess and applying for colleges, Sophia has continued to Sophia provides insights about how she organizes her time, why cold emailing is still one of the best techniques to attract investors, and how to get used to hearing the word ‘no.' Enjoy the advice from this amazing female co-founder! Quotes • “When I hear social media is bad, I know, but I'm not going to stop using it. We're so far into it at this point, and it's become such an important tool. And it can be used for good. There are so many amazing things that social media can do.” (13:49-14:02- | Sophia) • “I am a productive procrastinator. When I don't want to do something, instead of just wasting time on my phone or something, I'll do other stuff that I also should do but is not time-sensitive.” (30:07-30:19 | Sophia) • “Be a little bit more arrogant in a good way, a little bit more self-assured, don't let rejection get you down, and network the heck out of things. Whether it's men or women, that's just critically important for founders of all types.” (33:00-33:18 | Spencer) • “Finding something that affects you greatly and deeply, means you're the right founder and the right addresser for that topic.”(34:07-34:13 | Sophia) Connect with Sophia and Spencer Rascoff: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/getreconfood Linktree | https://linktr.ee/SophiaRascoff Website | https://getrecon.app/ Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

“As a female founder, one of the most important things is to be surrounded by other people who are willing to call you out when they notice signs of burnout,” says Katy Ursta. Along with her Co-Founder, Melanie Mitro, Katy helps women reach their business goals, as well as navigate some of the pitfalls of entrepreneurship through their work at Chic Influencer. One common trait among female founders is the experience of burnout. The symptoms of which can wreak havoc on our bodies resulting in extreme exhaustion and ultimately leaving us with a lack of connection, joy and creativity. Ironically, you can love what you do so much you don't know when to stop. Recognize what brings you joy and put that joy first. At the end of the day, the best way to avoid burnout is to give yourself permission to be wholly committed to your endeavors at their designated time and to be firm with anyone who attempts to violate these boundaries, including yourself. Listen to this episode, to hear Katy and Melanie discuss the importance of reading more than just personal development books, the ugly side of hustle culture, and why color-coded time blockers are a game-changer. Quotes • “One of the most important things is to be surrounded by other people who are almost willing to call you out when they are seeing signs of burnout that you don't even know exist within yourself.” (12:07-12:19 | Katy ) • “No matter what the signs are of burnout, you have to say, ‘Do I actually feel healthy? Do I feel good? Do I feel excited about the work that I get to do?' Or are things starting to feel more heavy?'”(14:57-15:15 | Melanie) • “I'm very good about saying, ‘It's done. This is not a 24/7 business.' It really is the hours I commit to.”(24:24-24:34 | Melanie) • “It's OK if you set healthy boundaries. Most business owners are afraid they're going to lose business, so we kind of address that fear first. If someone can't wait for you to respond for five hours or six hours because you are spending time with your family, they're not your ideal client.” (26:02-26:20 | Katy) Connect with Melanie Mitro and Katy Ursta: Website | https://chicinfluencer.com/ Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/chicinfluencer Instagram for Melanie | http://www.instagram.com/melaniemitro Instagram for Katy | http://www.instagram.com/katy_ursta Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Breaking down barriers for women entrepreneurs, creating transparency and educating founders about venture capital is part of Carrie Colbert's mission. “I don't think of it as just a linear one-way street. I think of it as an ecosystem where we can all learn from one another, and really foster success and empowerment,” explains Carrie, the Founder of Curate Capital. After a successful career in the oil and gas industry, Carrie decided to support other female entrepreneurs' visions, investing in companies like Packed Party, which in just five years generated a 10X ROI. What sets Carrie apart from many venture capitalists is that she offers more than just cash infusion. She offers what so many female entrepreneurs (who make up 80 percent of her clientele) are looking for: the gift of community, a network, and resources. She sees an “opportunity arbitrage” in the fact that females in business are underfunded and overperforming, and that her results and connections, including the influence she has amassed as a popular blogger and Instagrammer, can really drive great returns for her investors. This week, Carrie explains what a VC actually does on a typical day, what the requirements and limitations are for those who are seeking investors, and why it's key to any venture to surround yourself with people more knowledgeable than you are. Quotes • “She's a mom with a big belief in female founders, and that is something that really drew me to Carrie. She is a champion of female entrepreneurs.”(4:33-4:40 | Lindsay) • “Women founders do not get any capital. It is such a struggle for them to find the capital. You were seeing that, and infusing businesses, and seeing a return on your investment, before you even had your fund. So you were able to prove your concept and the need for your fund, before you even thought, ‘I want to do this.'”(11:15-11:33 | Lindsay) • “We invest in businesses by women, for women.” (30:50-30:53 | Carrie) • “Work on your story. It's all about storytelling. There are a million companies out there but I want to know: what problem are you solving? How are you solving it? And why are you the key person to solve that problem? “(33:01-33:14 | Carrie) • “I'm a big believer that no experience is lost.”(36:12-36:14- Carrie) Connect with Carrie Colbert: Website | https://www.curate.capital/ Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/carriec Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

(11:51-11:58 | Lindsay) • "I've made my own luck. When I got my job with Aerie, I did the reach outs. I was reaching out to them until they gave me an internship that didn't even exist. Then I was staying in touch. I was doing the work to make that opportunity happen.”(21:24-21:45 | Betty) • “Make sure that your own well being comes first. Never feel bad about working harder than those around you if you're passionate about what you're going out to get."

Jamie Grayson is the first male guest to be featured on Dear FoundHer, and it's easy to see why the exception was made for him! Jamie is exceptional. Shortly after starting as a product demonstrator and personal shopper in New York City's buybuyBaby store, customers began emailing the store to ask for him by name. In March, 2010, New York Magazine named him the city's best baby-gear expert, and soon he was doing 50 engagements a year as one of the most well-respected experts in the baby gear and child safety space. Jamie spent every spare moment researching his products and newfound industry because he believed his customers, and later his audience, deserved the most honest and helpful information to make their decisions. Thanks to this “human first” philosophy, Jamie's millions of followers remain just as devoted to him, even as his brand continues to evolve. He's shed his “BabyGuy” moniker, yet he remains as passionately dedicated as ever to helping parents make decisions about the best gear for their children with his reviews and events. As his social media platforms expand to include activism, business advice, pop culture, and theater, his approach remains the same: a business is essentially a community of friends. On this episode of Dear FoundHer, hear Jamie discuss the dangers of having a business plan, the pros and cons of social media, and how no one really knows what they're doing. Quotes • “I was the only man working with all of these doulas and taking childbirth classes. I really loved being around all this really cool, strong female energy.” 9:12-9:26 | Jamie) • “I realized that with support, education and just a little bit of empathy as a human, you can make a drastic difference.”(19:56-20:05 | Jamie) • “Knowing your worth and what to charge is one of the hardest things about this whole space. (22:54-23:00 | Jamie) • “It is impossible to do everything by yourself.” (32:16-32:19 | Jamie) • “That's in our mission statement on my site: Human being first, business second.” (35:47-35:50 | Jamie) • “This influencer culture we live in, I don't love. When people call me an influencer, I hate it.”(48:25-48:31 | Jamie) Connect with Jamie Grayson: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/thejamiegrayson TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@thejamiegrayson Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

After selling their first company Mommybites, Heather Ouida and Laura Deutsch reunited to start a new community, one for women and femme-identified gamers. Described by Laura as “a Facebook platform for people who game,” the*gameHERs is a social and career networking app and media platform created for women by women. It not only offers female gamers a space safe from the toxicity they often experience in male-dominated gaming spaces, but celebrates them and allows them to use their voices. In founding and growing these two companies, Laura and Heather have maintained the philosophy that focusing on community organically nurtures success. By listening to and considering what female gamers actually wanted, the same community then turned up in droves to support the company that the two women created for them. On this episode of Dear FoundHer, hear Heather and Laura explain the importance of clearly identifying the problem you're solving, clearly stating your reason for creating the business (hint: it should be a lived passion), and finally just jumping right in (while leaving room to pivot). Quotes • “It is a space that brings women together in a safe way. It gives women and femme-identified gamers a voice when often they don't have one. (5:58-6:08 | Heather) • “We're all, as leaders, big fans of stepping back and listening to our community, not just saying, ‘This is what we want to do and this is why you should listen to us!' We want to hear what you want.”(25:45-25:55 | Heather) • “Our mission was to elevate women. What better way than to literally give women and femme-identified gamers, who aren't normally heard let alone celebrated, an award given by their community?” (30:00-30:14 | Heather) • “If you build it authentically, they will come. We just put our heads down. We knew loosely how we would monetize, but that wasn't our focus. If that's your focus, right from the beginning, your community senses it and you're dead before you've even started.” (31:13-31:30 | Heather) • “It's really like a Facebook platform for people who game. And it's the first of its kind.” (33:58 | Laura) • "Make sure that whatever you are starting you have a true passion for OR you are actually living it. To build something authentic you have to be authentic. You're either living it or loving it."

Sasha Adler has a true love of design and fashion. Initially this passion took her to New York where she worked as the editor of a fashion magazine, traveling back and forth to Paris throughout the year. While this part of her career was helping Sasha work toward her early dream of working at Vogue magazine, things changed when she met and scored an amazing opportunity to work with Nate Berkus, the acclaimed interior designer. Drawing heavily on her unique editorial fashion experiences, Sasha was able to create interiors that incorporated textiles, fine art and antiques. After 14 amazing years in Nate's business, Sasha thoughtfully navigated the tricky decision to to go out on her own and started her entrepreneurial journey at the helm of Sasha Adler Design in Chicago. Sasha's young firm specializes in historical restoration and ground-up construction projects. They collaborate with their clients to form a design narrative that balances natural materials, architectural details, and bespoke designs. Their clientele expands around the globe, and their work has been featured in Elle Decor, the Wall Street Journal, and Architectural Digest. With so much success in just over three years, Sasha has gracefully tackled the challenges that come with a growing business. As a female entrepreneur, Sasha shares her advice on how to leave a job without burning any bridges, the most important consideration when hiring employees, and the best people to take advice from about starting your own business. Quotes • “I'm probably the only 10-year-old who asked for new bedding for their birthday.” (6:13-6:17 | Sasha) • “I love interior design. It has all the elements of everything that I love. It has that fashion element in a sense that you're pulling different textiles and pieces together. But it feels more permanent than fashion because it's your home.” (9:18-9:31 | Sasha) • “I think I was very naive and that was a blessing. The business of building a business was way more time consuming than I had ever envisioned.” (15:37-15:48 | Sasha) • “I say to my team all the time, we're not saving lives. We're just not! You really should love what you're doing and it should be fun at the end of the day. (23:32-23:41 | Sasha) • “It's so exciting to me that something that I saw and, kind of, made up now can actually be made.” (32:25-32:32 | Sasha) Connect with Sasha Adler: Website| http://www.sashaadler.com Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/sashaadlerdesign Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Like a lot of women in their 30s, Radha Vyas found herself burned out at work and in need of some fun and adventure. With her extensive travel experience, she initially dismissed the idea of joining a group tour, thinking they were only reserved for wealthy retirees or young backpackers. The more she researched, she found there was an entire market of travelers who, like Radha, were somewhere in between these two demographics, and who were being underserved. With her now-husband, Lee Thompson, Radha created Flash Pack—a luxury, adventure-travel company for solo travelers in their 30s and 40s. Though travel isn't her main mission, Radha's ultimate goal is to connect like minded people at a time in their lives when their social circle is shrinking. Flashpack is determined to build community and to facilitate one million friendships. Tune in to this week's episode of Dear FoundHer… for a conversation about what it was like for Radha to lose her business to COVID just as it was hitting its stride, only to relaunch it stronger. Plus, you'll hear her talk about the undiscussed loneliness of being a CEO, and the toll it takes on one's mental and emotional health. Quotes • "Just before COVID hit, we were flying really high. We were a team of about 55-60 people. We were just about to complete our Series A Institutional funding round. We were being solicited by VCs from Silicon Valley and in London." (19:08-19:24 | Radha) • “People want connection. And our collective isolation over two years just made everyone realize that friendship and connection is as important to your mental health and well being as getting a good night's sleep." (26:12-26:26 | Radha) • "I'm a much more confident CEO now. I've learned more from failure than I learned from years of high-growth and success. Now, I feel really super comfortable in my role as CEO of a high-growth company."(29:04-29:22 | Radha) • "Generally, I would say most businesses don't die of starvation, they die of indigestion." (31:44-31:49 | Radha) • "As entrepreneurs we need to talk about loneliness and the mental health toll running your own business has. And I think this needs to be an open subject."(34:31-34:39 | Radha) • "Understand your customers deeply and the problems they have and try to solve around that."

You know that spring in your step you may get after a coffee in the morning? Or the drive to power through your to do list or action list each day?  Do you still have that? Or is it lacking at the moment and you are wondering what is going on…..  I was recently talking with my Mum (a chaplain and counsellor) about the loss and feelings that I was having and I was hearing within the travel agent Achiever community.  She identified it as grief. Grief and loss of a business we have grown. The stages of grief and how it may pop up at random times and we may also revisit the stages at different times.  As small business owners and the impact COVID-19 has had on our industry and businesses, I wanted to address this today and the feelings that we have experiences and then things that you can do to help right now within your business.  If you are feeling any of the emotions and feelings we discuss, please first and foremost seek help from either a professional or  close person to you. You are not alone and I want you to know that you are worthy and you can do hard things.  One thing that we have always been talking about inside our Travel Agent Achievers group is the process of grief. Dealing with the current situation as small business owners, I know we may have experienced this. Not knowing who to talk to or not even sure how to open up are ok. I'm no expert but I've had my fair share of personal experiences to know when to seek help and support, and I encourage you to do so as well.  So in this episode, I will be sharing with you my own experiences with these different stages of grief. Some of my personal challenges and how I managed to move forward. Not to ask for sympathy but to let you know that you are not alone.  As you're listening to this episode and happen to find yourself in one of these stages, I want you to acknowledge that and know you are ok. Everyone deals with grief differently and whatever you decide to do for your business, the journey is one you can take.  If you want to invest in yourself and your travel business, know we have different levels of support for you as well here at Travel Agent Achievers.  We want to support you now and always into the future, so please plug into the community and share.  To help you make your first step, join us in our upcoming 5-Day Social Media Challenge.  I want you to come through this time stronger than ever and this is a small but mighty step in that direction. 5-Day Social Media Challenge Make sure you join our email list to get an EXCLUSIVE bonus just for Travel Agent Achievers listeners.

  Hey there, welcome to episode 28 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast. For the next 3 weeks, I will be doing some social media platform audits.  This week is Facebook, and the next two will be Instagram and LinkedIn. The idea is to ensure you have all your i's dotted and t’s crossed and that your profiles and content are as magnetic as they can be. If you want to get off to an even faster start, you can take my 5 Day Social Media Challenge and get ahead of the crowd!  Just go to www.5daysocialchallenge.com.au/ and join up. I come across many social media profiles, on all platforms, that people have simply set up quickly and started banging out content.  What they’ve never done, is have a look at what “first impression” is given for anyone landing on your profile for the first time.  Do they know who you are, what you do, what you are famous for or importantly, what you can do for them? So, buckle up and listen in so you can make sure everything is smick with you and yours!  Of course, if you’re out walking or shopping or in the bath listening to this – there’s always show notes – just go to www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au and find them there! But firstly, let’s do the Discovery of the Week! THIS WEEK’S DISCOVERY! Ok, this week, it’s a good one and is a discovery for me and I am just a wee bit excited to use it and share it with you all! At the moment I am in the middle of head down bum up, building my first digital course – Facebook Ads for Beginners.  And with that course comes workbooks!  I wanted a way people could fill in the workbook on their computer – whilst dealing with all the different platforms and systems my students might be using. And then I found https://www.pdfescape.com/windows/ - which is a free PDF editor and form filler! Can you get excited!?!?  Not only can you edit PDFs but it’s a form filler too!  So, all those PDF’s you’re sent you can plug into here and fill them out online! I really think this is a game changer to me in my business and get see so many applications – not to mention filling out Uni and School forms for the kids!!  I hope it will make my life Simpler and yours too! As always, just a little disclaimer, my discoveries are just that and I am in no way affiliated with any of them but promise to tell you if I ever am.  I just love them and from the response of my listeners, you guys, you are loving them too! Hey and if you have a little discovery, or something you use in your business that you’d like to share, please do so.  Email me at jenn@jenndonovan.com.au or tag me @smallbusinessmadesimple.  I really love to know what tools you use to help make your life simpler! FACEBOOK AUDIT If you can listen to this podcast at your desk in front of your computer – that’s great – and will be best.  But if you’re not – that’s ok too – everything will be in the show notes – you can use them to do your audit when you’re ready! Ok – so let’s get into your Facebook audit. So, for this audit I will be going through the essential things you need to have on your Facebook Business Page, and I will touch on things you should have on your personal page regarding your business too. FACEBOOK BUSINESS PAGE I’m gunna start with your Facebook Business page:: Your profile pic Does it look like you? Is it brand consistent? Is it a recent picture of you?  Would I recognise you from it if I saw you at the supermarket?  When was the last time you updated it?  Is it a consistent look across all your social platforms? That’s a lot of questions – but let me break it down into some BIG don’ts – don’t have a picture that doesn’t look like you. I come across some profile pics on social media and they are clearly hanging onto their youth!  It is their picture, but it’s from long, long ago.  You are doing no justice to yourself or your brand having a picture like this.  Update it.  Embrace who you are, warts and all! No glamour shots. Seriously, I’ve seen people use those shots that I would call “glamour” and look more sexy than engaging – not the platform – this is business not a dating app.  Plus, it just makes you look less authentic when you post a selfie or another pic of yourself and you’re almost unrecognisable! No dogs, no pets, no partners – this picture if about you and your business. Think H2H – human to human. Just be YOU! Your Facebook cover. What does it say about your business?  What does it tell your prospect who’s landed on your page?  When was the last time you updated it? This is PRIME real estate peeps.  It should say what you do in pictures and have a call to action. If you’ve got an event coming up – change it. If you’re on sale – change it. If you’ve got something significant to tell or show your audience – change it! Ok, it’s Facebook Cover challenge time – if you click on your Facebook cover – does it have a link – call to action – anything?  This is a step that so many people forget to do – and it’s a HUGE mistake.  If someone clicks your cover – you want to have something else for them to do right?  A CTA? I’ve put a picture in the show notes of mine to show you what I mean::   Not sure what I’m talking about or where to find it/put your call to action. Ok – just go to your Facebook Page – click your cover anywhere and to the right-hand side do you have “add a description” or do you have a description? You can add links here, a creative call to action etc etc.  DO NOT leave this space blank – prime real estate peeps! It’s a good idea to change your cover, I’d suggest, maybe every few months or so? www.canva.com has lots of templates to help you out with this.  If you haven’t used Canva before – go there right now and start exploring.  It’s LIFE CHANGING.  You can thank me later! Ok, that’s the two big ones done. But just under your Facebook cover – you have a Call to Action Button (right hand side on computer, under it on mobile device).  You can change this and should change it depending on what’s happen inside your business. You have lots of options – go through them, see which one is appropriate for now and set that button up.  E.g./ if you have a shop – have Shop Now – if you have an event coming up you are prompting, having “Sign Up” and so forth. My point is don’t set and forget – change these things up depending on what’s happening in business!  Use these platforms to make them as lead generating as possible! Now let’s head down the list, as admins, we can see on our Facebook Page – the list is on the left-hand side that I am referring to. Services – if you have services that you offer – put them here! Whether they are sewing services or courses you sell or coaching offerings you offer – whatever service you provide to your audience – they go here.  Remember to update them often though as your business changes or grows. Reviews – haven’t got any – ask for some! Reach out to your best clients or customers and ask them if they could leave you a review or better still start leaving them for businesses you buy from or use and pay it forward (it will come back to you – you know it always does!) o   If you have bad reviews (that are unfair and unfounded) turn off your reviews by going to settings, templates and tabs, reviews – and turn off.  If you can’t see your reviews – follow the same process and click turn on!  (I’ll come back to settings shortly!) Now, I’m just going to say here – your left-hand menu might look different to mine.  You can turn on and off functions of this menu that sits just below your profile pic, on a computer, by going to that templates and tab option in your settings.  I recommend that you do go here, turn off ones that aren’t relevant and set up the ones that are and you should have.  For example, if you have an online shop – or want one – you should set up the Shop tab.  If you do offers to your audience – again you should set this up! I’m not going to run through them all – because a. I don’t have time and b. we are all a wee bit different and c. I’ve got a lot to get through! But I am going to head to the About section! If I went to your “About” section on your Facebook page – what would I read?  Something?  Nothing? Something engaging and relevant? Recently, I was working with a prospect and their “About” section told me about their achievements in 2012 – it’s 2019 – I’m not sure a single person would care about how good they were 7 years ago!  But that’s an important lesson, we can’t set these things up and then never go back to edit, change or update. I think every 6 or 12 months we should pretend to be our own clients and go through and seeing what they see – what they read etc. Make sure you’re About section is filled in with as much detail as possible. ** Pro-tip – when it asks for your website address – it doesn’t have to be your home page.  It can be any page within your website – be strategic.  Again, if you have an event coming up – change it to that URL  etc etc – just remember to change it back after the event! Second Pro-Tip – it’s in the About section that your @name forms part of your URL.  If you go to your page and under your profile pictures doesn’t sit a @name – then it’s time to claim that name and set up your Vanity URL for the page. CAUTION though – changes this may make links in previous posts, documents, articles etc etc invalid as you are changing your URL – so think about this before changing it.  But if nothing exists there – that’s different. Within the About section is the “Story” section.  It’s here you need to write some compelling copy to engage your reader.  It’s your Story but remember it’s not ALL about you! After someone has read it, they should know what you do, and what you can do for them.  Add your awards here too.  Frankly, just follow the bouncing ball and fill out as much detail are possible. Two more things:: Verify your email address here – Facebook will send you an email to make sure it’s legit. Verify your Page – go to settings, Page Verification, and follow the prompts. Just a heads up – verifying your page can be a little challenging for some in the past – but stick with it!  Fingers crossed it’s super simple for you if you haven’t already done it. In the settings section, People and Other Pages tab is a little interesting – you can see who likes your page and when they joined up by date, people who “follow the page” (as opposed to like it) and pages your page likes and pages that like your page.  Still in the settings section – Instagram tab – if you have a business Instagram profile – this is where you can connect it.  I love that mine are connected – helps with content curation – and love that it shares stories! A couple of final thoughts, suggestions, ideas while we are still in “Setting”.  Instant Articles – if you are writing blogs consistently, you might like to look at setting up Instant Articles.  What are they?  Well, they are basically Facebook’s way of keeping content within Facebook (so you aren’t redirecting your audience away from Facebook to say your blog page) and to give the reader a better reader experience by having the article load, well instantly, hence the name! This is not my area of expertise as I found the whole thing a little difficult to set up, work into my business model, but if you’re a blogger or article writer, I do suggest you look into them more. In the show notes there’s a link to a blog which talks all about Instant Articles – the pros and possible cons.  Have a read and see if it fits in your business model. https://instapage.com/blog/facebook-instant-articles Instant Articles are one of the things Facebook does but doesn’t make it easy for us (the curator) but seamless for the end user (who’s their customer I guess!). And finally, in Settings, Cross Posting – if you’re an admin of several Pages who have the same target audience, you can set up cross posting so that you only have to post once, and it will go several places! BUT, if you really do have several Pages with the same target audience, think about merging them – it could just make it easier for you and your audience!  Just a thought! If you’ve never explored your “Settings” tab in Facebook – spend some time in there – there’s lots of things in there that could make your life simpler, but I don’t have time to run through them all.  For example, if you are sick of Facebook notifications – you can change how often you get them and get them in bulk!  That could be awesome if you are often distracted by the ding sound of a notification! Before a finish up this episode, a couple more tips for you. Did you know you can like a page as your page?  So, I can like a page as Social Media and Marketing Australia rather than as Jenn Donovan.  Great for branding and for keeping people to like you back!  I believe you can only do it from a computer though – not a mobile device.  Simple go to the page you want to like – click the 3 dots in the like, Followings, Share menu under your Facebook cover and a menu drops down.  Click “Like as Your Page” – cool hey! Just on those 3 dots, if you are on your page, you can click them and then click – “View as a Page Visitor” and see your page as someone who isn’t an admin would see it.  Again, I don’t think you can do this on mobile – or at the time of this recording.  It’s fabulous for undertaking a review like this, seeing what our prospects see!   I can’t do a Facebook review without talking about your Insights tab.  This is oh so so very important.  You should be looking at your insights at least monthly – and I say at least – really twice a month. Insights sits at the top of your page on a computer.  On your mobile – it’s when you click to look at your Page via the Facebook app (as opposed to the Pages app). Insights tells you so many things.  In fact, enough for another Podcast episode!  But if you’ve never ventured in there, here’s some things it will tell you All about your audience Best times for posting Your most engaging content Story Stats You can dominate pages to watch. Pages to Watch helps you compare the performance of your Page and posts with similar Pages on Facebook. Great tool for content creation. At the moment it tells you about your paid promotions – but that’s moving at the end of July. So, my challenge to you is, schedule out 10 minutes in your diary to look at your insights twice a month.  Learn more about your audience, what they find most engaging and when they are engaging with it and create marketing strategies to match. I’m often asked about the best way to schedule Facebook posts – which app to use.  My recommendation is here – if you are scheduling posts for Facebook – do it natively in the app.  Better algorithm and it’s oh so easy! On a computer just do the post as you usually would but instead of press “post” click the little clock and schedule it. Go into the app, do a post as you usually would, click continue and when it says “when will this be published” or “share now” click and schedule it for when you want it! Heads up though – you can’t see your scheduled posts through the Facebook app – as far as I can find, you need to be on desktop or using the Facebook Pages app. I think we’ve covered enough for one Podcast for Facebook Pages – I’m sure you’ve all got some work to do. PERSONAL FACEBOOK PROFILE But before I finish up, I said I would briefly touch on a personal profile too.  If you want people to be able to find your business via your personal profile – then you need to make sure that your personal “About” is optimised for that! Having where you work plugged into your profile as well as ensuring that you add connection points in your Contact information.  You can add your Business Phone number Your skype link Your YouTube link Your LinkedIn profile link Instagram link Website And another webpage – I’ve done my link to Spotify – but you can send it wherever you want! If you are your business, then it’s wise to optimise here.  Of course, if you want to keep your personal profile private from business – then simply don’t!  But it’s another way to drive leads, sales and human to human connections. Wow – that was quite the episode – I hope you got lots of gold from it.  But that is it for episode 28. If you have any queries, questions, thoughts tips or tricks, let’s continue this conversation in my Facebook Group – Like Minded Business Owners. I’ll be back next Thursday with some more marketing know-how and another discovery of course.  If you’re enjoying this podcast, don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode and share this with a friend.  And maybe leave me a rating and a review wherever you listen in.  Those things are like gold for podcasters like me!  PS – you can leave more than one rating and review – just saying!

Join the challenge at: http://tinyurl.com/31postchallenge ! In this episode I discuss how I have been posting on social media everyday by scheduling all of my posts on one day for the rest of the week.  It's like going to the gym one day, but getting the benefits of working out 7 days a week.  I found the trick to doing this is creating themes and scheduling these themes on a calendar.  I know the holidays are going to be busy, so I'm going to challenge myself to preschedule posts by bulking them up work-wise, and make sure there is a post that comes out everyday in December.  Want to do the challenge with me go to: http://tinyurl.com/31postchallenge

What would happen if you change how you show up on social media for 30 days? Join me in this challenge
