Action Plan

This week’s action plan is going to sound easy - but it is going to be VERY HARD for anyone who uses Instagram to support their personal brand or business. For the next week, I want you to take Kandace’s advice and truly treat it like it’s a part of your business - make a strategy, block your time, cut out the consumption and focus on action. Set specific time aside to connect with like-minded individual, audit pages that are achieving what you hope to achieve with your page, and make some Gary V style “deposits”. Seriously, I’ve been trying to do this since we recording the conversation 10 days ago and it is freaking TOUGH. But it feels good to be taking purposeful steps towards maximizing the power of this social media platform.

That’s it for this week. Until next time, we wish you STRENGTH and GOOD HEALTH.
