Look. Every day, Iโm one of (probably) many women experiencing imposter syndrome.
Rather than to succumb to the silly self-doubt - I thought Iโd lay it all out there instead. โ๐ผ
Thereโs no fancy degree, or crazy amount of student loan debt (oop) to back my business - in fact, I took one semester of post secondary (including some marketing courses!) and knew right away that it wasnโt for me. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
When the textbook was talking all things analysis, radio, and television ads, I was not only bored, but doubted the education as a whole.
Now, there is a time and place, but I just knew I could hop on social media, learn the NOW of marketing, and just jump right in.
Did I jump right in? No. Instead I dabbled in a potential real estate career, started my own lash business out of my home (that I over-marketed and discovered my love of marketing, not lashing) and even ran a local boutique (hello TikTok virality, and I got a taste of what that could be like!) Butโฆ what did these all have in common? I realized I didnโt want to do the daily tasks involved in the above, I was there because I wanted to market social media content. Social media has always been a creative outlet for me, both personally and professionally.
This is all to say, I have no recognized accolades, no fancy piece of paper on my wall. What I do have is a natural know-how for the goings on in social media, because I have consumed content since my early teens, digested it, applied it. I followed the influencers before they were influencers. (Beauty gurus, hello!)
The first thing I tell my clients, is to not get stuck in the details. So here I am, letting you know that I donโt know all the answers, Iโm not a gal that gets stuck on strategy.
You donโt have to be neither. ๐ซถ๐ผ
***refrains from saying โjust do itโ***
Hope you stay awhile. ๐ค
