Flashback to more travel last year in August. I was in downtown Chicago to attend the @digitalsummits conference with @joshuabinning and stayed an extra couple of nights to spend time with my bff @mofomonkee ♥️

Last night I put these tips in my free Facebook gr

Last night I put these tips in my free Facebook group (link in bio) where I share juicy details tips/tricks about how to use Social Media weekly— I usually don’t post them to IG. Come on over and join if you’d like. There’s no catch. 🖤
.
You know how it feels so unnatural to try to force engagement? Don't force it. Here are a few tips. (These aren't my only tips for engagement but these are a couple to get you started)
.
1) POST HYPER-RELATABLE CONTENT.
.
Think about your audience. Can you create some content that they would self-identify with?
.
Something funny, or something that truly describes them. Think about the behavior of what your audiences react to.
.
They LOVE to share things that describe their personalities, their sense of humor, and their ideas. Create something hyper-relatable worth sharing.
.
2) POST AN OPINION (OR QUESTION) AND BE GENUINELY OPEN TO FEEDBACK.

Listen, we all have seen those accounts that seem to be asking questions just to drum up engagement.
.
To be clear, I do NOT want you to do that. But think of a couple questions or opinions that you really want to know the answers to.
.
Think of questions about your business that you know your audience can't scroll by without answering. Please don't ask questions just to ask them.
.
Create a safe space for people to share their thoughts, feelings, and appreciate the feeback you receive. Use it to create more content.
.
3.) INTERACT WITH YOUR PEOPLE
.
Make sure to comment back, like, and interact with the people who interact with you. You know that old saying "Treat others how you want to be treated?"
.
Appreciate and write people back if they comment on your post. Head over to their profiles and show them some love. Hell, message them and tell them thank you, and start up a conversation with them.
.
The logical thing, as I am sure you can imagine, is that you'll be making others happy and building relationships...
.
The BONUS case for this is that Instagram and Facebook's algorithms LOVE dynamic relationships and rich convos. If you build real relationships with your followers, they will show your content to those followers more often...that’s a fact!
.
Let me know if this was helpful 🖤

Thinking about walking around the streets of London. I won’t be traveling this Fall but I’ve got my pictures and memories to hold me over. 🇬🇧

These kids are truly what I consider one of the best things in my life. I get all misty about it in the summer when they both have birthdays because it reminds me (how old I am) but also how amazing of humans they’ve turned out to be.
.
I know I know — I sound biased because I’m their aunt. But Truly, every time I spend time with them my expectations are exceeded.
.
Self aware, sharp, funny, intelligent beyond what I ever was at their age.
.
So thankful to be part of their lives. They remind me that the future has a bright side.
.
Love you, kiddos.
.
You’ll never not be babies to me.

😑 👋 Vulnerable entrepreneur moment -- I am s

😑 👋 Vulnerable entrepreneur moment -- I am super self-critical. I have moments where I ask myself...
• Why didn't I get that done yet?
• Why haven't I achieved more?
• Why didn't I say yes to that person or why didn't I say NO to that person?
.
You might ask yourself:
• Why don't I ever have time?
• Why am I not making enough money?
• Why do I have no accountability?
• Why didn't I just do what that other person did?
.
You have permission to feel your feels from me... But then, as a fellow self-ass-kicker, I am going to tell you to realize that what you HAVE been doing is just as important as where you think you are falling short.
.
I was telling a group of close friends that recently I got perspective that all of the little things.... The relationship here, the pat on the back there, the phone call here, the event I did here, the one time I spoke to 8 people here, the other time I spoke to 200 people there, the podcast I launched in a couple of months, the 1 blog post that went viral, the Instagram post that got thousands of likes and the one that got 30 likes, the friendship I made at a conference over too much wine -- ALL of those things are suddenly becoming clear.
.
I didn't set out to make those connections with the intention to sell them something. I did those things, hosted those events, created those communities, cultivated those relationships-- because they were super authentic to me in that very moment.
.
I made those connections because they were natural. I started my podcast because I wanted to learn more about something I was truly passionate about. I started a fb group because I was tired of seeing "expert advice" out there that was wrong and/or complicated to understand.
.
These little touch points I have made over my last 10 years in business have created an infinite amount of possibilities that keep giving.
.
I am not saying I don't have farther to go and that I won't be pushing myself. I will always push myself and I have SO SO SO much to learn. (See rest in the comments)

NUMBER ONE quote I LOVED in this episode... “Put the date on your dream. The rest is just logistics.” — @sigruncom
.
I was so honored to interview online entrepreneur Sigrun Gudjonsdottir. She joined me to discuss The Selfmade Summit, an international conference for 7-Figure Female Entrepreneurs.
.
COVID-19 forced Sigrun to change her conference dates, and she talks to me about how the event changed and what she did to solidify the future of the event.
.
@sigruncom and I also chatted about her history, the story of how her conference became a reality and how she learned when it’s time to make a good decision.
.
This episode is full of powerful important stories and I’m so happy Sigrun could join me. Let me know if you listen!

I met @sigruncom online in February (when we were referred to each other) and almost met her in person when we were both at the same conference (@smexaminer’s Social Media Marketing World) with 6000 people!! (Ahhh) can you imagine what our world has been through since then?
.
Tomorrow my episode with Sigrun comes out on the Business Event Playbook and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
.
What struck me about Sigrun is that she changed gears on her huge Icelandic summit and made the “Covid-Call” before most other conference-organizing thought-leaders did this year.
.
Her story about how her conference for 7-figure female entrepreneurs came to fruition, how she then changed gears.... sprinkled with how she was connected with @garyvee and her inspiring story make this a stellar episode and I can’t wait for you to hear it tomorrow. ♥️
.
Sigrun said “Put a date on your dream... the rest is logistics.” And I loved that.
.
So much CAN and WILL happen once you resolve that it is possible.

That feeling when you need to take a second and figure out what you’re watering... 💧
.
It’s so easy to get caught up in asking myself “Why didn’t I do that? Why am I not farther along? Why can’t I get more organized like so and so” while the things that I AM watering are flourishing.
.
Self doubt and self criticism are way too easy for me to water. I tell you this not because I have it figured out, but because I want you to re-evaluate— what you’re watering. Some days it’s easier to see than others.

Thoughts?

Flashback to when we were traveling without hesitation and going to packed concerts. I have something to say. Things aren’t ever going to go back to “normal.” We are only going to change as we keep moving forward. Let’s look forward. ☀️

I’m on that constant journey to understanding that goals don’t have to be big and scary. They can just be putting one foot in front of the other down a path. If that path doesn’t work... change paths.

So I feel really grateful... and when others have moments worth celebrating I want them to shout it from the rooftops –– but its always hard to take your own advice right?
.
I was asked to speak about conferences and personal branding in the age of Covid-19 on @lruettimann’s Punk Rock HR podcast!
.
Not only was Laurie amazing to talk to, edgy, fun, brilliant and friendly, but I have been enjoying her content as a small business owner.
.
We can learn a lot from Laurie!
.
Laurie Ruettimann is a former human resources leader turned writer, speaker, and entrepreneur.
.
Her podcast, Punk Rock HR, is one of the fastest-growing management and business podcasts and Forbes named her website one of its top 100 websites for women.
.
Her advice has been featured in a variety of publications—CIO Magazine, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Inc., The New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.
.
When Laurie asked me to come on and talk about what speakers, thought-leaders and conference organizers should do now...
.
I thought... HELL YES. I am in. I was–– and still am–– so honored.
.
Thank you for having me on your show Laurie! I have been honored to be able to share time with you through technology!

Have you ever met someone for the first time and you cannot stop talking straight for 2 hours? This is what happened when Jenny and I chatted for the first time. (Don’t worry it’s not a 2 hour episode— less than an hour)
.
I had a list of questions and I threw them out the window because everything Jenny said brought me to a new organic question and her answers were pure gold.
.
You’ll learn about:
-Building a community first, event second.
-How to monetize your blog
-How to monetize your event
-Pinterest as a traffic driver
-And all about the Fuel Your Influence Food Blogger Conference that has had massive success, 15 lb goodie bags and is recognized throughout Colorado and the US as one of the must-attend food-influencer conferences to be at.
.
A friend of mine and long time top podcaster listened to this episode and actually texted me something like “Wtf—This is so good!!!”
.
If you listen to 1 episode of my podcast this month, let it be this one. ♥️
.
Thanks for being such an amazing guest @goodforyouglutenfree! Jenny’s conference will be virtual this year and the link is in the show notes!

I remember this little purple camera so vividly. I

I remember this little purple camera so vividly. It was mine! My parents gave it to me and I’d beg them to get me film at the store often so I could take pictures. They would get it for me once in awhile.
.
I was definitely not naturally inclined to take good photos or anything but I think I loved the idea of creation from an early age.
.
My pictures were close ups of dogs, cereal, my dad and mom caught off guard doing every-day things like watching tv, or weird selfies (like the one in the next pic).
.
Through the years, I would get the photos, cut them up, and add them to my scrapbook, writing little stories in the captions that make me cringe and laugh now.
.
I’d find great pleasure in showing my diaries and scrapbooks and creations to my friends and family and anyone who cared long enough to understand what I was creating.
.
When I look at these photos now and all of my writings, scrapbooks of pics, covered in mod-podge and magazine clips, and all of the little stories and pictures I took, I’m so glad I have them and that I have always been creating things... since as early as I can remember.
.
I think this is not far off from what I love doing today. Capturing moments for people on stage, off stage, in their businesses...figuring out the things that someone might or might not catch or might not see. Writing out the journey. 🙂
.
When I was little I wouldn’t say “is this a good enough picture? Is this perfectly filtered or will it match my feed?” I would just go full steam into it. I knew there was something there worth catching.
.
Take that picture today, write your words and share it... I want to know your story. ♥️
