I just wanted to stop by with an update. Last week I posted a question in the community about balancing Market Data and Creativity as I felt limited to what would work for me. I mentioned that I had a posted content last Wednesday and removed it because it wasn't getting much engagement as my last post in that first hour. The piece wasn't really inspired by market research but more so by my own experience that I felt others could relate to. Since then I re-posted the same content piece this past Sunday and got so much great engagement from it that I genuinely wasn't expecting (60 likes, 3 comments and 30 bookmarks). Even though the post wasn't initially data driven, I feel like I'm seeing the opportunities and my ability to resonate with my audience a little more clearly than I did before. Now I just need to secure the follows in order to nurture that same audience and funnel leads but I imagine that goes along with building more content and optimizing my page. Slowly but surely I feel like I am making progress but I'll get there! Thank you for the support and feedback that was offered @Christy Cox @Carolyn Green. It was extremely helpful. 👍🏾 I'll link the original question below in case it helps or inspires anyone else in the community. https://www.skool.com/milliondollarbusinessplan/question-re-market-data-vs-creativity

As an entrepreneur, how do you balance content that is inspired by market research vs content that is inspired by your own creative ideas — unrelated to market research? Do you post your own creative expressions here and there or are you only solely posting reliant on customer data? If a mix of both, how do you balance the two? Personally, I feel like there's not a lot of creative freedom when posting based on market data but it's tough to know what best resonates with the audience without said data so limitations can exist there as well. Last week, I did some market research and came up with content in solution to problems that felt instructional and insightful to my audience as I did receive some engagement saying such — yet it felt very creatively limiting for me to some degree. This week I created content that was inspired by my own life experience. While I did enjoy the process more and felt satisfied in my efforts, I took the post down about 1 hour after upload because I wasn't immediately getting the same amount of engagement as I did with last week's post. I'm assuming engagement might've seemed low because of the specific day and time I posted this time as opposed as to the day and time that my previous post was uploaded. I plan to re-post on Sunday without deleting. A lot of my content is reflective in nature. However, if you've mastered involving both in your work I'm curious to know how you've managed it? If you have any advice or guidance for me as well, I am receptive. All/any insight is welcomed and greatly appreciated🥲

I make a practice every week to write down 3 wins I realized over the past week. This keeps me from focusing on "the gap." The gap is the place where you feel like you haven't made enough progress either because a) you didn't fully hit all of your goals or b) you're comparing yourself to others and their journey. So, I'd love to hear from you! What are 3 wins you realized this week?
