How Planning Posts EARLY Will Save Yo’ BOOTY!

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

AHHHH!!! *screams internally out of PURE. GODDAMN. JOY*

Your girl (hi hi! Deniz here!) got to meet SO many @girlsguide.co boss babes in the making today in PERSON...

+ I gotta say, nothing makes our lil hearts wanna explode more than getting to serve you ladies in the feed/face to face *virtual hug*

More than HALF of the stellar local female entrepreneurs in this "Social Media Power Hour" at our downtown co-working space were GG followers - *squeals*

+ you know the best part?
They were all SO. FRICKIN. NICE!!!
These super sweet ladies were CRAVING connection with other badass girls bosses, they WANTED to level up their #social media game + they KNEW they had to get out of their perfectionist mindsets/classic comfort zones to do it.

#PreachPreachPreach...

But what were the biggest roadblocks in their way?

We chatted about 3 main points in that busy hallway:

How NOT Setting INTENTION Can Screw You/Your Biz Over


GG: FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

It's a mistake a LOT of female entrepreneurs make (us included!)... + tbh, you've probably already made it TODAY (#NoShame #AlwaysGrowGirl)
Trying to function throughout your day, or get through the seemingly never-ending to-do's of your business list without INTENTION is like trying to find a Waffle House in the middle of Vermont without a GPS... *F*CKING. HARD* 

You MIGHT get there, eventuallyyyy... but it's going to take you:

...10 x as longer... (when you already feel out of time)

­ ...make you wanna pull your hair out...(NO GIRL PLZ)

...+ there's a HUGE chance you might not make it (womp womp).

We end up doing this SO often, that we just fall into the habits that no longer serve us, waste our own damn time or don't ACTUALLY get us RESULTS.

Especially when it comes to moving the dial on your biz... $$$

In this week's #MondayMindset...

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???

#HellYas.

In today's Galentine's-Day themed #FreebieFriday, we fall in lurvvv with the idea of creating content that:

MEANINGFULLY connects with your followers! (no bots allowed!)

Serves your loyal squad some REAL value! (on/off line!)

 Introduces your audience to your WHY! (SO important!)

Saves you a SH*T load of time/effort/stress! (#bless)

 Allows you to focus on business BUILDING activities! ($$$)

#YasBossQueen.

We worked extra hard last month to craft a February guide that's absolutely overflowingggg with everything you need to plan your content proactively...
- a day
- a week
- a month
- or even a YEAR in advance! 

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