If i were to start my social media brand from scratch, here's a couple things i would say ⤵️
✨ I used to be super hard on myself on not being an "expert" before I felt ready to pitch businesses and apply for roles. The thing is, a lot of times, you will learn as you go, but as long as you have a creative ability to offer a service and deliver that, someone is willing to pay for help.
✨ The worst thing I ever did, was compare myself to others. This is a blessing and a curse and 100% how imposter syndrome kicks in. Seeing others in a role where you want to be is soooo motivating and fires up a hustle inside you, but at the same time can make you pull your hair out trying to rush to get there. It won't happen over night, so be patient, and just keep going.
✨ Plans will change, so you gotta know when and how to roll with the punches. The way i saw my business is different from the way things are now, but that's how it goes when time and systems fall into place. I think it's okay when the details shift a bit, but the bigger picture still needs to be the same.
Business owners, what are some things that you'd tell your younger fresh-business minded self?
