There are things that you can do initially, because it is a big, overwhelming feat…and so many people feel overwhelmed when they get started…but you’ve gotta start somewhere.
It starts with really figuring out what your personal brand is.
You’re not your business. You’re not your children. You’re not your husband. You’re not your family. You are you. And what most people overlook is that we all have unique gifts that we can tap into….and people are attracted to those unique gifts.
It’s figuring out ‘what makes me unique? What are my stances, my opinions? What makes me really passionate? What makes me really angry? What makes me feel alive? Energetic?…’
Figuring out what you want your brand to represent…and getting started there.
I call myself the extroverted introvert…we didn’t really share a lot. It took a lot for me to get over the hump…
What I realized is…it’s not really about being an introvert, it’s more about saying to yourself, ‘why am I even doing this in the first place?’…there must be a reason. Is it because you’re trying to be the go-to in your market?…
Then saying to yourself, if it’s this important to me, then I’m going to step out of my comfort zone little by little and share some pieces of me that I know are going to help that person.
My brand is all about…shedding the armor, shedding the self doubt and just being you.
Say what you want to say…while adding value to the world.
…I can’t say those things and not put myself out there. So, little by little I started to share stories…
It’s more about letting go of the ego and knowing that you’re just there to serve.
I hate to break it to you, but not everyone is going to like you and you have to be ok with it.
A lot of people are people-pleasers, they want everyone to like them…and that’s no way to live. It’s an exhausting way to live.
Finding your people…your personal brand…allows you to discover who you want to spend your time with. Who you want to spend your time on. What you want to say ‘yes’ to. What you want to say ‘no’ to. It makes your life a lot less complicated.
In order for you to be of value and service to others, you need to take care of yourself first.
For the purpose of serving your audience…it’s important to think about what that end goal is.
Write to that one person. Every single thing you write is dedicated to that one person.
You see what’s clicking and what’s falling flat by the engagement.
I’m an interesting human when it comes to the way I set goals. I’m more of an intuitive….when I sense my business or my brand is ready for the next level, that’s when I set the next benchmark…
I tend to write 6 emails or 6 posts at a time.
Every personal brand will evolve. Some will pivot completely…other times it really does remain the same it’s just that other elements are potentially added in.
It’s really just stories…and many times we are talking to our previous selves….which is why we can speak so confidently about it. Because we went through it.
As we’re going on our own journey and evolving, so does our content.
In my personal experience, people know like and trust you already on your account….they follow you for a reason…so I think people really appreciate watching a brand evolve and grow or pivot…stick with the same account and show other people what can be done.
There have been times when I’ve gotten a batch of photos back and said..this one speaks to…but for the most part, it will align with…the messages that I’m sending through my emails..and I’m choosing photos for it.
I started out really heavy photo…then I started playing around with video…Video content is king.
Have fun with it. At the end of the day, it’s not so serious.
So many women have fear.
Start by getting uncomfortable.
As with any fear…peel that onion. Figure out where and why that fear is coming up. Asking the question…Why? several times.
Let it become a teacher instead of letting it overcome you.
It’s not ‘I am’..it’s that fear is teaching me….if we can’t get past our fears, we can’t grow….what can I learn from it and how can I get past it?
Be you. When you are trying to mimic someone else or use someone else’s words, people can read that from a mile away.
Figure out the message you want to share and know that somebody, many bodies, are going to love what you’re telling them….and you’ll start to find your people.
I love to help women…who want to feel fulfilled, valuable….finding out what makes them tick…and leaning into those things.
I give them permission to let go of the should’s…and lean into their strengths.
Saying no is self care.
A family trip to South Africa. In the jungle, in a treehouse
Sandals…and some kind of energy aura.
