160: How to Change your Co-Dependent Relationship with Social Media

Do you feel like Social Media is causing more harm than good in your life? (It was for me- to the point that I secretly had a fear that my business wouldn't grow without it!)

 

Maybe you have a fear-based or co-dependent relationship with social media too. It could look like...

 

Comparing lives: "I wish we could do things like her and her family"

Feeding your doubts: "She started that business, the same time as me! See, I'm not good at this business thing"

Brewing Fear: "I HAVE to post or SHOW UP on social media today or my engagement will go down"

Turning into an Idol: "Open app countless times during the day. Scrolling to see what others are doing. Searching for content or newest trends you need to get on. While pushing aside intimate time with your family, your friends, yourself & other things that would provide more fulfillment in your lives"

 

I'll talk about 2 SIMPLE ways that can Prevent this from happening again (& shockingly it doesn't involve a system lol)

159: No SOCIAL MEDIA for 30 Days!!! How did it affect my Business, Homeschool, Relationships... Let’s Tell ALL!

I was resistant to any Social Media Fasting because I was in Fear that my business would not survive. It was where I built great relationships, learned a lot about branding and marketing and shared my tips and tricks.

 

But I was invited to do a Spiritual Fast, when I would not be "Giving Up Social Media", instead I Replaced it with more....

157: Curriculum Overwhelm: What Happens when you buy too many books & resources.

You have your CORE subjects & Curriculum, but one of following creeps in:

1. Doubt: Am I doing Enough for my Kids? = I need more

2. Comparison: I saw her kids were so successful with that curriculum = maybe I'll try it too

3. Collector: It worked for my older kid, so I'll Keep it for my younger kid = holding on to too many books not sure

 

Solution

1. Do an Assessment to Check kid's progress- Adjust with what you have. If need more, then look into other options

2. Does your Current Curriculum work with your kid's learning style- go back to #1

3. Only hold on if you know for SURE you will use it. If your kid's have very different Learning Styles- resell it & find a curriculum that'll work for your younger

156: The 3 ways you are Preventing your Online Business from Succeeding

1. You're in Planning mode WAAYYYYY to long. But NOT starting anything, you get discouraged with things that you think may go wrong in the future, so you change the plan again

   1. Plan for the next Year, work backwards.

   2. Pick 1 thing today that you can do

   3. One step at a time

2. You Start & Quit too early. Hit a few speed bumps or roadblocks & that discourages you. You expected to be further along. You're in comparison mode

   1. Have support. Team members, entrepreneur friends, don't be a solo-preneur, join a networking group

   2. Use those speed bumps/ roadblocks as learning opportunities

   3. Are you working on YOU?

3. You Start & get comfortable in Cruise Control. your biz is going good, but not GROWING

   1. Is it time to leverage & build a team?

   2. Build your leadership through masterminds

   3. Evaluate your business & focus on one part that can grow

155: Don’t expect your Kids to Take Leaps of Faith, if you Don’t do it yourself.

Have you Encouraged your kids to try a new sport, activity, class? Do you say, "put yourself out there", but they don't want to? Have you told your kids to "try again" when it doesn't work out but they rather give up?

Maybe it's not them, it's YOU?

 

When was the last time you did that for yourself?

1. try a new sport, activity, class

2. Learn something new, go back to school

3. Start a business?

4. Try again when it doesn't work out?

 

You need to be the example for your kids, walk alongside them, show them you go through the same things.

 

What is something you wanted to try or do & never took the leap of faith? Can you take a Step today towards it?

1. sign up for a class

2. attend the meeting about the business

3. talk to someone who has done it
