Step Away From the Cake

 So I've been focusing on my business and I'm trying to get my social media game on point. One thing that almost everyone talks about is content pillars. Content pillars are topics or themes that a brand regularly posts about on social media. These things represent a brand's value and some of what the brand is all about. Some people say you should have 5 content pillars, some say 4, some say 3, whatever. I have not been able to land on content pillars that resonate with me and that I can seem to stick with. So this little brain dump will be me exploring content pillars.  One of the themes that I did hit on is uniqueness.  I want the products that I sell to be unique and different. The people who would buy my products are looking for something unique and different. They don't want the same old thing mass produced in China. So how could I turn the theme of uniqueness into some social media posts. Well, I could talk about being different and that's okay. I could talk a...

 This week has been almost entirely focused on my business. I have watched an amazing number of videos and webinars about various aspects of my business. I have spent hours and hours thinking, planning, and figuring things out. Maybe if I had done this in the beginning I wouldn't have to be doing it now. But, it is what it is. I'm determined to figure this whole social media thing out and there is no stopping me.  I will say that I have been the tiniest bit sidetracked. One of the seminars I watched this week was focused around planners and using them. I got some really good ideas about using my planner, organizing my planner, and generally getting back into the planner game. I've let that fall off the last few months because of complete overwhelm and I need to get back into it. So I've incorporated some bullet journaling into the one I have now - boxes and a key for various things. I've also incorporated a Top Three each day. I've tried that before but never re...

 Again!!!  I completely stepped away from the whole social media thing. I haven't posted in a very long time and that is not good. I have to get on a schedule and stick to it.  I've said this before but I really have to stick to it now. I just don't do social media and I hate being forced to do it. But, hating something doesn't make it happen. So let's say that I enjoy it and am looking for unique and amusing ways to do it. I have to make it fun and I have to make it me. That's the only way it will work.  So, time to dig in.  I started this post on Monday, 6/10, and it is now Tuesday, 6/11, night. I've spent the day focusing on social media and planning. There was a 2-day bootcamp type thing on social media. I have some more of those videos to watch but I caught some and picked up a few things so that's good. Then I got into another bootcamp style thing on planning. It is all about how to plan, making your planner a habit, making stickers for your planne...
