Like many other small business owners, we understand the constant dilemma of NEEDING to sell products or services but also that awful feeling of being an icky sales lady. This business is your livelihood and you have to succeed to support your family. A steady stream of income is necessary to sustain your business and keep paying your bills. But right now, you need to stop what you are doing because selling isn’t going to work for you or your business.

Starting your business generates a lot of emotions, right? One day you’re so excited and stay up until 3.00 a.m. working, and the next day you’re super nervous and wonder, “Will this even work?”

I’ve got a secret to tell you to help wipe away some of those nerves: you got this.

How can I be so sure? For starters, you’re not going to have any competition.

Social media is ever-changing. It feels like you blink and the “kids” are into some new platform, chatting about some new trend. As much as we’d love to tell you if you follow these 5 steps that you would magically have it all figured out - sorry, that ain’t happening.

What we can tell you, however, is that it isn’t as complicated as you keep making it in your head. This isn’t plastic surgery. No one is in mortal danger if you “do something wrong”. Social Media is one giant science experiment. You get to test, hypothesize, and analyze results. Once that’s all done you just start over. The learning game is never really over. You just keep going and adapting.

It is so easy to get overwhelmed when trying to devise a plan to make your social media not only work for you, but also to prepare your business to be more profitable. What if we could put you through a social media bootcamp and tell you EVERYTHING we know?

Well, lucky you, that’s what’s about to go down.

We have rounded up every tip, trick and secret to not only up your marketing game, but to give you tools to get started right now. Grab a cup of coffee and a notebook, and clear your space of distractions. We have a feeling you might be here for a while so put on some cozy socks and throw that hair up into a top knot. Let’s get to business.

Let’s face it: Instagram is a money making machine that we business owners can’t live without.

If you are a product-based business, you should be on Instagram. You can throw any and all arguments at me and I will try to still convince you that you need it. It’s is the easiest and cheapest (free!) way to market to your target audience and ideal clients. However, you want to make sure you are using Instagram effectively and efficiently in order to utilize its benefits. (Our gal pals at TCC have a course on this!)

Holy moly! We are super pumped for you to see the brand new + gorgeous backgrounds we’ve created for our lovely Trello for Business peeps. (You’re not a T4B cult follower yet? That’s okay, stay tuned to see how you can get in this magic goodness.) 

It’s about that time of year again. School is back in the swing of things, the holidays are about to hit, and new shiny planners are hitting the shelves. This is also about that time when you take a good long hard look at your business management and maybe kind of give yourself an eyeroll.

Whatever you’ve probably been using this year just ain’t cutting it so you’re keeping your eyeballs peeled for something to invest in for the next calendar year hoping that it’s the secret sauce to you not being a hot mess.
