As business owners in the digital age, we’ve been taught that a social media presence is critical to having success. And we’ve been taught that standing out amongst the sea of profiles and posts is essential in a social media marketing strategy.  But what if that’s wrong?  What if we’re causing ourselves and our businesses undue suffering as a result of relentlessly trying to stand out on social media? I sat down with Karen Kenney to explore the energy we put toward being special or significant - and the cost we are incurring to do so.  Plus, we discuss the joy that can be found in embracing your insignificance in the world and how to trust your intuition to guide you and keep you on the path that you are truly meant to be.

Is Standing Out On Social Media Really The Way To Go? | Ep. 158

Whenever I find myself in a new environment (physical or emotional), I often feel lost and uncomfortable. Whether it’s a literal ‘somewhere’ or I’m stepping into a new venture in my life, those feelings often lead me to feel like everything is falling apart. This happened to me last December -– and I decided to post a status update about it on Facebook. Today, I talk with Karen Kenney about the process I went through in December that led me to that Facebook post and I teach you Three Steps To Take When Things Fall Apart. Plus, Karen and I discuss how the Top 3 Fears keep us from being vulnerable to other people and how to have the courage to be vulnerable anyway.
