𝐏𝐒𝐀: it’s important for us to show up WITHOUT filters on social media too... because more n more women (& young girls!) are comparing their natural faces to photoshopped influencers / celebrities. Ughhhh ‍

BUT our biggest concern is seeing filters popping up left & right that change the structureeee of your gorgeous face. They heighten cheekbones, baby-doll your eyes and lip inject those puckers so that you don’t...

2 Use Instagram’s fancy Story Fonts / paint tools to add your TITLE as an overlay on the middle (or as close possible!) of your photo...

3 Screenshot/download the finished product to your Photo Album... Double check that the text fits into a ‘square’ (so that it’s readable on the feed) — upload it as a custom COVER photo before publishing your reel on Instagram!

We heard this tip a few years ago + it's been an absolute GAME CHANGER for us in terms of: work-flow, the ability to focus on important tasks + get more done in way less time (at both our full-time n' side hustle jobs).

+ here's the kicker...

IT'S SO FRICKIN'. SIMPLE.
As in, it'll literally take you TWO seconds to do S-I-M-P-L-E.
All you gotta do is set up intentional 'focus' time (ideally in the beginning of your day, before the e-mails/work flow gets too crazy) + while you're hustling on - 𝐏𝐔𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄.

Yup. I mean, pretend we're about to take off into the unknown skies of your focused A F future sister... because this lil' trick WORKS.

GG: Content Creation FREEBIE  http://bit.ly/GG-Balancing-Social

REAL TALK: who else has spent an *embarrassing* amount of time stalking their ex’s new girl on Facebook?

**literally everyone slowly raises their hand… LOL**

Yeah SAMEEEE ‍

+ We get it… + whether it’s:

…stalking old frenemies/hookup’s on Snapchat…
…eye-rolling your aunt’s racist FB posts…
…scrolling through insta-influencers photo-shopped bikini pics…
…following the most cringe-worthy celeb rants on Twitter...

...most of us have accidentally curated our feeds to make us FEEL totally MISERABLE a LOT of the time! (#OhSh*t...)

So, gal - we want to ask you this: what’s the ‘PRICE OF ENTRY’ that you’re charging to get access to yo' PRECIOUS feed/mind?

Why’s it important to curate?

…because girl, ALL of the content you see online IS taking up...

CONTENT Your Followers Will Fall in LOVE With!

GG: FEBRUARY FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

Wouldn't it be AH-MAZING if instead of just 'liking' what you put out on #social media - your people FRICKIN' LOVED IT???

All while achieving the list above on a daily basis. How sweet...

When to Add VALUE to your AUDIENCE!

GG: FEBRUARY FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

Doesn’t it frickin’ suck when you put ALL this time, effort + energy into creating content that no one actually SEE’s?!

...or worse...

You put you/your biz out there + get... crickets

Zip

Nada ‍

UGH... the. Literal. Worst.

Not only does it feel like a waste of your precioussss entrepreneurial time — but then you’re also missing a chance to get your products/services in front of those dreamy clients that actually WANT WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER + CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!!!

It’s OK - we’ve all fallen into the black hole of insta content...

But there’s a light at the end of the feed tunnel, sister...

We get it... because we’ve BEEN THERE — and we’re here to teach you how to kick those crickets (gently n’ lovingly) to the curbbbb

So — exactly what TIME / DAY is the most active on the ‘gram?

How do you...
