Break the Internets...I double dare you + a worksheet
A few weeks ago I deleted 100 people off of facebook. I unfollowed every group that I'm in and left a few that I don't participate in. I deleted my biz facebook page with over 4k people. And guess what happened?
A few weeks ago I deleted 100 people off of facebook. I unfollowed every group that I'm in and left a few that I don't participate in. I deleted my biz facebook page with over 4k people. And guess what happened?
I broke the Internet.
Facebook's algorithm didn't know what to do with all of that info at once, so it shut me down.
I would only see 4 posts from the same 4 people. That really deters the urge to log in. So I didn't. When I would post, no one would like it. Okay yeah maybe it wasn't entertaining or maybe no one cared.
But I knew that wasn't the case. You know we all that one person that you can count on to like your posts so don't drift into self imposed loser ville. Mine is my sister-and she lives on facebook. So when she didn’t like the posts, I KNEW something was up.
So I wrote this post:
Do you see how many people liked it?
I didn't say anything revolutionary, funny, comforting, or inspirational. Yet facebook took me out of timeout.
Sometimes, you have to break the internet. Make your own waves.
Whenever you notice things aren’t going the way you want them, make a ripple of change, and switch things up.
If you have a social media system that isn’t working for you, play around with it until you see traction.
For instance on Instagram I use hashtags like it’s no one’s business. At one point my instagram numbers were increasing rapidly but with spammers. Likes mean absolutely nothing to me.
Seriously, try going to Chipotle and attempt to pay with a few likes.
So I revised my hashtag system. Instagram allows you to use 30 hashtags at one time. I later figured out you can use a different set of hashtags up to three times. So that’s 90 hashtags that I’m able to use to get reach on a picture. Each week, I get a minimum of 10 people who sign up to my email newsletter from Instagram. Annually that’s 520 people added to my brand just by a simple system. I have an evernote folder with 3 sets of hashtags, a leadpage and domain set up specifically for Instagram peeps to sign up. Did I mention this is one picture per week? When I increase my Instagram tactics, it increases.
Systems should always be evaluated as they are here for your greater good. Quarterly evaluate what’s working and not working for you. That’s right, so next week, I challenge you to review what’s working and not working in your business.

We Made It - Happy New Year + a download
Mama we made it!
If we were to ever hang out, which we really should in 2015 I would probably blurt that out randomly. You would be having such an amazing time that you wouldn't mind my animated silliness.
This year has been incredible.
IN-CRED-I-BLE
I can't pinpoint one thing or even ten that made this year so awesome, but that in itself just shows how miraculous it was.
For the record I hate all those buzz words (juicy, magical, miraculous) I see them everywhere which demeans the juicy magical miraculous goodness people were intending.
Off the record I think you're amazing and we can use that word as often as we please!
My wish for you is that you reflect on the last hours that we have in 2014 and truly examine the past year.
What are you grateful for?
When did fear and doubt almost stop you in your tracks?
What challenged you the most?
What were your three biggest WINS?
Who did you support?
Who supported you?
Describe a good day in 2014
Describe a remarkable day in 2014
What new experiences did you have?
What baggage did you pick up this year?
Save these questions to your google drive so you can easily reflect on your own.
I also wish that you take time in the next few days entering 2015 and visualize on how you want your year to look. Take your time with this. When done right this process is amazing *insert juicy, magical, or miraculous if you must*
I challenge you to unsubscribe from emails and newsletters that you don't read. If by chance I fall in that category, I wish you nothing but the best. Anything that isn't serving you don't take it with you to 2015, friday, next week, or next month. That's anytime.
That junk drawer in your kitchen and office, sort through it and get rid of all that junk. Fabulous Solopreneurs only have junk in one place and it isn't in a drawer.
Secondly I challenge you to set aside four days in 2015 exclusively for you. If you want to sleep all day or pamper yourself. Whatever you fancy..four days...they don't have to be consecutive. You'll thank me next year. You're welcome in advance.
Thirdly I challenge you to verbalize the one thing that you hate doing in your business and create a system to optimize it if you aren't in a position to outsource it.
In January I’m hosting a series of webinars and trainings on organization and productivity. If these fall under your one thing, join me and I'll help you sort it out. I promise I won't embarrass you and scream "Mama we made it."
Happy New Year my love! May 2015 be filled with your hearts desires and lots of laughter. Oh and of course automation and a chic streamlined business.
