All those gurus telling you how exactly you need to be to be successful have no clue about the power of your personality. If you show up as you, are genuine and a human: That is so much more powerful than any "get up at 5, meditate, drink water, say this, do that" strategy. Plus, trying to be someone you are not is going to be terribly exhausting.

As an entrepreneur or business owner, you cannot decide NOT to do social media. But you have a choice to embrace it (or not).

You created a piece of powerful content... Are you aware what people read/see? The title The image The caption The first sentence The last paragraph And then the last person standing may even read your content. Harsh truth. What does that mean? Focus on creating a title, an image and a caption to lure people into your content. Then capture their attention with the first sentence. Offer a well-structured, easy to read piece of content with a great story and images. If you only focus on your body content, you lost before people even saw one sentence.

Don't try to sell in the first step. Before buy from you they have to get to know you, trust you and listen to you. Focus on providing value first and you will earn branding, audience, engagement and trust - and eventually you can turn that into new customers.
