| Hi Friend,
If we are connected on Facebook, you may already know I chose to take Marisa Murgatroyd's 21-Day Facebook Live Challenge.
When I want to learn something or up my game, these challenges are a great help. In the past I've gone for blog challenges and list-building. Truth be told, I don't usually complete those that last longer than a week or two. I get bored, life or business distracts me.
This challenge attracted me because it aligned with my desire to connect with my tribe in a more personal way. I had already begun to play with FB Live and thought the challenge would call me to be more consistent. Yet, I had no idea what I would talk about.
Some of you joined me on FB for the YINpreneur™ Pilgrimage, which called for 10 days of FB Live gatherings. Frankly, I LOVED connecting each evening, but was glad when the weekend came and I could take a breather.
You may ask, if you could not make it for 10 days, why do you think you can make it for 21? Well, I don't know if I can, but here's what I've learned thus far: - Facebook Live offers a joyful energy infusion - during the livestreams and even during the replay, when I connect via the comments.
- Doing the FB Live at the same time every day is a bigger challenge than simply showing up when it feels right.
- Showing up when it feels right allows for more flexibility and spontaneity.
- Showing up daily has called me to be more natural and conversational versus planned or scripted - mostly because I believe it will be boring if it's scripted daily.
- Doing the challenge daily is calling me to practice stepping out of my comfort zone.
- Being a private person, I am challenged to share my life. Yet, it's hard to go for 21 days and talk only business. I was inspired to find a creative way to share more about me. I chose to be a tourist in my own city, showing folks my favorite NY places.
- This gets me out of the house more often and, I am finding ways to talk about my business thin ways that relate to daily life.
- I have let go of perfection, often stream without makeup or much prep - finding that natural lighting is my favorite (like with my photography)
I am now on Day 6, learning much about FB Live, myself, being creative under pressure, and being consistent.
- topics you'd like to hear about
- Your favorite NY places to visit.
For now, check out the fun places I've already visited, and the YINpreneur™ life and business tips I am sharing. Today, Day 6, was about balancing yin and yang energy. You'll have to visit the page to see where I went. I would love to receive your feedback.
Remember to breathe and slow down to speed up your success.
From my heart to yours, |
