That is such a nice surprise from your neighbor! I got up this morning, and was pretty tired, but my dog was in a very sweet and playful mood and that made me smile and laugh while I was getting ready to start the day.

@Wendi Gordon thank you! They've resonated a lot with my readers :)

@Wendi Gordon hadn't heard about that resource, thank you so much for sharing!

I have delegated social media posts to my assistant completely, because I don't care much about it. But I'm in a lot of collabs that require posting there. Honestly, the ways I still use social media myself: - Facebook groups that I use to network and find collabs. - Instagram DMs where I connect with summit attendants or bundle collaborators to set up coffee chats. - Network with people on LinkedIn. I've heard aweful stuff about LinkedIn, but I've curated a pretty good feed with very insightful thoughts, so I've been trying to spend more time there reading and engaging in conversations. I took a challenge earlier this month about Facebook ads to increase the reach of my lead magnet, and I want to try it out some time this year. The usual posting on social media though? Nah, that's never really brought many results.

My word is "experiment" and it has felt very exciting to me <3

Hey everyone, I'm Sara, a Costa Rican Designer + Creative Partner living in Utah, USA. I specialize in helping small businesses plan out their online presence and create a website--centered marketing strategy that leads their efforts towards their business goals. I work with purpose-driven businesses that care about making the world a better place 💖 I've always had big dreams and ideas, but between introversion and anxiety, I often feel like I'm getting way over my head. When I first started my business, doing graphic design for online businesses, I thought I'd always just be a supporter behind-the-scenes. But I've come to recognize that there is much more I want to do, and that being quiet doesn't mean I have to stay behind the scenes. It's been a journey, but every year I get closer to the leader I want to become! That's what quietly ambitious means for me. Also, recommending a book that helped me a ton when I started my business journey 9 years ago -- Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain gave me so much strength and insight! Highly recommended to any fellow introverts that are quietly ambitious and just starting their journey into embracing it 😊 http://stargazedstudio.com https://instagram.com/stargazed.studio https://www.linkedin.com/in/saraobando/
