☝🏾You don’t need to stop being yourself to be seen as an expert.
I learned that in my second year of business. 🙇🏽♀️
I used to believe that people would respect me more and would take me seriously if I wore a suit 👩🏾💼
if I refine my vocabulary 🗣️
👩🏾💻if I was all serious and to the point when I was talking about my offers and showing up on social media.
That was an era of my business where I was less joyful and disconnected from myself when I was showing up on social media. 🫤
I didn’t know what it meant to have a brand until I had to go through a journey of self-reflection 🧎🏾♀️because I was uncomfortable and there was a lot of resistance when I had to show up on social media for my business.
I felt like my content wasn’t landing people were not connecting with me. 😕
There was nothing wrong with my offer (I thought that was the issue)
Those feelings led me into a deep journey of exploration to heal my relationship with social media and how I was presenting myself. 👤
I needed to find that middle ground between self and my online biz If I truly wanted to become a successful entrepreneur.
I was unconsciously separating my self-identity from my business because I thought it was not “professional”’.
Which was completely untrue my self-identity is what creates my personal brand.
So I said f**k it 🤷🏾♀️
🧚🏾♀️I decided to be my cringe, funny, baddie, spiritual, fashion enthusiast version of myself.
little by little I started sharing more about myself even though it had nothing to do with biz.
