Telling ChatGPT to make a flyer for social media?

Please, just stop right there.

I'm all for small businesses doing what they can to get the word out, but you're not doing yourself any favors. A bright image filled with words on top of words on top of words is going to push you further down the list than a simple post of an image of... Well, anything.

Social media is meant to be (say it with me) SOCIAL! Seriously, just post a pic of your FACE and let people get to know YOU before you bombard them with your busy, salesy flyer.

Want to know more? Drop me a DM and let’s chat about putting the social back in your social media.

I checked.

This is not included in any of my marketing packages.

Fortunately, you don't need publicity stunts to get your business seen.

You just need a strategy that actually works.

Dad probably thought I'd eventually run out of things to say.

I never did... and somehow turned talking into a career.

Thanks for listening, Dad. 😁

Happy Father's Day to all the dads who listen, encourage, and remind us that our voices matter.

That’s messed up to get this ON my actual b-day.

Well played, AARP. Well played.

I LOVE that Shannon shouts out our local businesses! She’s amazing - and, and Adobe Blinds and More is one of my fave spots in town!!!

One of my favorite things about Maricopa is the amazing local businesses that help make our houses feel like home.

DAY 5: GO BE AMAZING

OK… last one.

I friggin’ loved watching this challenge take off!.

So many people showed up.
So many people encouraged each other.
And honestly? Some of us needed those reminders more than we probably realized.

So let’s wrap this up with a big one:

What’s one thing you’re ready to stop talking yourself out of?

Speaking up?
Speaking in public?
Showing your face on camera?
Posting the thing?
Taking up space?
Raising your prices?
Trying something new?
Actually going after what you want?

Drop it below 👇

Then ... (you know what to do) go encourage (tag) somebody else who you think is ready to stop playing small, too.

Go be amazing.

DAY 3: GO BE AMAZING CHALLENGE

It sure seems like life has been “life-ing” lately. Are you feeling that too?

I know a lot of us are feeling like we have too much to do, not enough time, and most definitely not enough bandwidth.

Fun fact: that’s a big part of what this challenge is about.

We hear:
“Be consistent!”
“Show up!”
“Post 47 times a day!”

But showing up doesn’t have to look perfect. And it should never come before your REAL life.

So for the Day 3 challenge:

What’s something you’ve handled lately that took more strength than people probably realize?

Chances are, someone else needs to read it too… so tag someone who could use a little positivity right now.

Go be amazing.
