Don't Believe The Hype

Social media is a great tool to showcase your craft. However, it can be a terrible thing. Social Media can make you feel inadequate and cause unnecessary pressure to be successful. What's up with Instagram making people feel it’s easy to own your own business? I'm so tired of hearing these stories of all you need is $2,500. Tell me what you think? I would gladly love to hear, please.

Oh yeah, and what's with people having 54K plus followers and 50 likes on a photo? I know you can buy followers and likes, but that math doesn't make too much sense to me. People have a whole lot of followers, following close to none and are having little engagement in their profession. I always want to know how many sales are they having in their business as well? Like really. I don't want to know the great accomplishments only either. I want wisdom on what to do and what not to do. Let's be organic people.

Another thing I want to know is how many people are putting they are  "Influencers" in their bio? How is it possible to have 4/5 Instagram pages business owners of some kind? It doesn't make sense. Stop it! Be honest. Don't chase money, sponsors and lose yourself. Chase your dreams and the rest will come.

Ultimately, social media makes you feel like it’s going to be easy. Business is not easy! A whole lot of years and time goes into your craft. You lose money a lot of times! You take chances a lot too. All entrepreneurs wait for that big project. A lot of entrepreneurs quit.

If you are an influencer, fitness person, or life coach honestly that's great. I love you all who are really in your craft and thriving. We are in a time where people are trying to get fame anywhere. Please don't let that be you. Just be yourself and don't add any more pressure than you already have to for your goal in life. Enough of these false public figures, be you and be the best you ever! Don't believe the hype. Owning your own business isn't easy, but it's worth it just like any good thing.
