Is Standing Out On Social Media Really The Way To Go?
“You need to be special!” is a message that we’re constantly being bombarded with when it comes to our personal and professional social media presence.
This is especially true as entrepreneurs and business owners in the digital age. We’ve been taught that amongst a sea of people, profiles and posts - it's essential to our success - that we not only have an online presence and platform, but that we must also have a strategy for “standing out”.
But what if that approach is wrong?
What if we’re causing both ourselves and our business unnecessary suffering in the relentless pursuit of trying to “stand out” on social media?
How much suffering are we humans willing to cause ourselves in our need to be special, seen or have significance?
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, I sat down to talk with super-smarty pants business coach Bill Baren about how much energy we waste trying to answer the ego’s call to specialness and just how freeing it can be to embrace our insignificance in the world.
Plus, we discuss and explore the power and joy of trusting your intuition and your Spiritual Team to guide you and keep you on the path that you’re meant to be on.
