If there’s one surefire way I can leverage socia If there’s one surefire way I can leverage social media in a hugely successful way for my clients, it’s this… 👇
 
Posting content that humanizes their brand.
 
Why does this kind of content work so well? 🤔
 
Because people don't feel connected to people or brands that pretend to be perfect, pretend to know everything, or pretend that they do everything right and have it all together...
 
People connect to *real people* with *real stories*—and they always will!

People connect to people and brands that are willing to be human, honest & authentic to their values.
 
P.S. I’ve worked with small, solopreneur businesses and large, national organizations—this principle remains true either way!
 
If you're thinking, “Okay, I see how I can do this personally, but how do I do that as a brand…?”

Which one are you going to try first? 👀

What’s something that deserves more celebration What’s something that deserves more celebration than you gave it? 🥲

Swipe through or scroll down for my honest, unedited musings on this question:

When I read this journal prompt (s/o @revealstudio.co for the prompt hehe), words didn’t naturally come to my paper like they typically do.

But eventually they did, and I wasn’t planning on sharing this with the world, but then when I finished writing, I thought maybe someone else out there could relate…?

So here goes nothing—from my pen to your screen!

“I struggle a lot with celebrating myself in general, but the three things that come to mind are:

1) starting a business and going full-time in it;
2) hitting six figures in revenue;
3) helping my client scale to their first million.

I didn’t really celebrate any of these things enough because...

As soon as these things happened, it was instantly like ‘OK, onto the next goal.’ I think that’s part of why I fall into burnout so easily.

I also think I struggle with celebrating things in my business because I fear I’ll “jinx” it and lose everything.

I worry far more than I should about that happening; I need to make a concentrated effort to trust God’s provision and trust myself with the skills and resources He’s given me.”

Unfortunately, I don’t really have a “conclusion” to this story; it’s still a chapter I’m working on, clearly.

But I wanted to share it with you in case you ever feel that way—just so you know you’re not alone. 💛🫶🏻

OK, your turn now! What’s something that deserves more celebration than you gave it?
