"Where you been, dude? We hardly see your posts anymore!" Well, I have something to say about this... 👇 Social media platforms are powerful. They've given us the ability to connect and build relationships with people from all over the world. That has certainly been the case for me. Take Paul de Vries for example... He's a good friend of mine that I'm not sure I would have ever met if it weren't for social media. His influence helped shape what can only be described as a magical career to this point. (I look forward to seeing him again soon in Antwerp and Amsterdam for the #DCDW workshop where I'll be keynoting this fall - more about that in the comments...) But there is a pressure associated with social media that we don't talk about enough. The pressure to post 7 gazillion times per day lest we become irrelevant. The pressure to keep up with our perceived competitors because we're only see what's "post-worthy." The pressure to sound like we've got it all figured out, when really we're navigating the mess of life/work/spirituality just like everyone else. And then of course, the pressure of not knowing what to say and feeling discouraged... BUT!... What if we're missing the point? What if social media was looked at differently -- like a place to communicate and deepen relationships rather than just posting to talk at "followers?" What if we did more listening then we did talking? What if we invested more time engaging on others posts rather than worrying so much about our own? What would the impact be? On November 19th and 20th, I'm going to be sharing some of my most practical and common sense tips about how we can leverage social media platforms to get massive attention. - Attention that fosters relationships of trust. - Attention that adds revenue to the top and bottom line. - Attention that stands out and stands apart from the competition. This is going to be the most important keynote I've shared to date, and I can't wait to connect with dealers and industry professionals in Belgium and Holland to walk through it all. Step-by-step, Action-by-action. But let me ask you... 👇 What do you think would happen if we approached social media in a more engaging way vs. using it like a billboard? #socialmedia #automotiveindustry #therealmc Marktplaats

7moKaylee Felio🌻 and I were talking about this when we recorded my episode for her podcast. How exhausting it can be for content when it feels “forced”. I shared how I’ve been looking at taking a step back and only posting either when I feel I want to or when I really have something I need to share. If it starts to feel too fabricated - it just isn’t me. And to stay true to yourself is most important while also bringing things you genuinely believe will either help others or yourself.
