Perfectionism can be the driver stoping you from consistent content.  Of course, don't get me wrong. It is good to have pride in your work. To want to create content or deliver to your audience in a way that is high quality and of value. That is not what I am saying. BUT, when does the need for your content to be "perfect" stop you from showing up and creating?  Perfectionism is something that isn't easy to overcome and I am in no way an expert in the psychology around perfectionism. However, as a creator, perfectionism isn't something that has held me back. Working with recovering perfectionists, I am here to share with you the tips and tricks I have learnt!  If you LOVED the episode, make sure you share this on your Instagram stories and tag us @contentqueenmariah!

95: How to sell on Instagram through your content, without feeling 'salesy' with Claudia Woodham

Are you letting likes and comments get the better of you?  Believe me, been there. Done that. Of course, if likes and comments is the purpose of you creating content, then great! But as a business owner, I know that isn't the metrics I want. For me, I want a network. I want website clicks. I want people on my podcast, people using my services.  So when you go to look at the vanity of your content, I want you to ask yourself "what is the purpose of this piece of content?" Then you can look at whether that purpose was served.  The data tells you a story. It tells you a lot about your audience. I want you to start looking at it. I want you to stop holding yourself to likes and dive deeper than the surface to really know if your content is "working".

Hands up if you have a budget for your business?  Don't feel bad. I can feel you starting to overheat. It is NOTHING to be afraid of and as the amazing podcast guest explains (Sukhy Bansal), it is here to give you CLARITY! We all want a little more clarity in our lives right?  When I started working full-time in corporate, I had a budget because I was getting paid monthly. It was something I was always tweaking and changing and it helped me a lot. When I started my business, that was a WHOLE different story. Then my friend introduced me to the budget she used for herself and the current employer she worked for, where she managed budgets. It was a game changer.  This budget allowed me to quit my full-time job as a side hustler! How you ask? Because I knew how much money I needed to go all in. Changed my life and as Sukhy explained, gives that clarity we all need.  Don't run away from the power of a budget, listen to this podcast episode and embrace it  From budgets to business vision (and everything in between), Sukhy takes us on an amazing journey to such amazing masculine and feminine energy of money and how to build a business with FLOW (her amazing framework).
