These are two major myths that are often talked about in the entrepreneurial world:Marketing = social mediaYou have to be on social media to get clients. Listen… I’m a huge proponent of social media. For all the flaws, it gives us access to SO MANY connections with new people, for free. Yep, it takes work. But it’s also such an advantage for beginning business owners. And while I’m usually giving you tips on how to connect with people on social media - today I want to introduce you to a whole other world of possibilities… growing a business without using it. On today’s episode of The Simple Online Business Podcast I'm chatting with my client Shannon, who recently had her first 10k month without building an audience on social media, about her inspiring journey of embracing change and discovering the freedom entrepreneurship brings. We talk about how she got started, the obstacles she’s overcome and the power of coaching and community in business growth.YOU’LL LEARN:How effectively communicating with teams and clients about workload and availability can positively impact a business's growth and successWhy setting boundaries and seeking support are important pillars of business success.Why building a strong team and creating a supportive work environment is the key to sustained growthLearn more about Shannon:Shannon is the CEO of Lifetime Stress Relief, a virtual assistance & online business management company that specializes in email & calendar management, preventing overwhelm and burnout, and developing systems to save time.
