This is so funny but it's from an ongoing conversation @Chloe Wigan and I have been having lately on Instagram. We decided last week we want to start posting like it's back in 2015 😆 We're also embracing a bit of extra whimsy and taking precious, mindful moments throughout the week to just *be* outside of business and life and everything going on in the world. Anyway, I did just that this morning, what a way to start the week - a fancy iced coffee and a sit in the sun by the water. Of course it's the most commented on post I think I've done in YEARS. Come on over and chekc it out. And a tiny side quest for you, if you choose to accept it 👉 Post something unrelated to your business this week that is just you in real life. Then come back and share it with us ⤵️

I know, I know... this is why it's hard to start being visible. Because we want to feel ready. Like we're getting it "right". But the truth is, we need to start so we can learn and grow. So of course I'm talking about it to help you get past what you're doing and move forward, one small step. >>CHECK OUT THE VIDEO IN THE CLASSROOM<< And, if you prefer to read, you'll find the notes there too! 👉 Are you at Level 2 yet? As promised, I just added special goodies to celebrate 100 members and when you reach Level 2 there is a resource that unlocks to make getting started even easier. Come on over and check it out. Not there yet? Introduce yourself here. Comment on a post. You only need 5 points to level up and get it.

We do this in my membership, the Cozy Business Quest, and it's such a great way to gently get visible by sharing the different places we're showing up (more to come if you're not on IG!) Drop your Instagram link below and: - Say what you’re currently posting about - Follow 2–3 people in this thread - Leave a genuine comment on something they’ve shared This isn’t about “follow for follow.” But if you share your IG, please engage with and go check out/follow any likeminded folks here. One of the keys to the IG algorithm is to follow and engage with accounts that have a similar audience and subject matter to you - this shows Instagram who to recommend you to. So it's not just reciprocating, it's also an important part of being on the app. Not to mention, it's about: → being seen → starting conversations → actually engaging with real people If you want, you can also share:“What I’m stuck on with Instagram right now…” Let’s help each other get moving 🥾
