Work smarter
I’ve been doing some testing of Instagram stories for you over the past week and a half to see what effect it has on my followers and reach.
I was told that if I created at least 10 Instagram stories a day I would see a massive difference in my stats. So never one to shy away from a challenge, I went for it!
My beloved Great nan Ruby once told me that you never stop learning no matter how old you are. To me, she seemed very old, and that idea amazed me.
I thought we went to school, college and maybe university, and then phew stopped. ‘That’s it I’ve stopped learning’, on with the real business of being alive.
I never knew that the real business of being alive was learning and ostensibly growing.
This is a topic that has been bubbling away under the surface for about a year now for me and it’s about time I shared it with you.
It’s something I talk about with my clients, when I mentoring start-ups at Nottingham Trent University and when I’m giving lectures.
The ability to be vulnerable and for you to be able to embrace your vulnerabilities is going to be pivotal to you being able to market yourself on social media and grabbing success with both hands.
Mental health is something we all need to get comfortable talking about. We all have it, all the time, just at some points our mental health is not quite as we’d like.
Add to this being freelance, often working alone, and responsible for every aspect of your business. Mental health can sometimes suffer.
So I asked the fabulous ladies in the Blue Stockings Society to offer their advice for overcoming mental health problems when you’re freelance.
