November DIY and business book club 2016

ByAngie Andre November 4, 2016November 25, 2016

Ok.  So It’s November.  Which means, that subconsciously, I’m already looking for gifts for my family and friends.  It’s crazy, I know.  I haven’t even brushed the leftover sugar off my teeth from Halloween, and I’m already trying to figure…

If you want the easy road… choose something el If you want the easy road… choose something else to do for a living with a clear path, a 401k, and steady paycheck.

Rather be getting crafty than making content for I Rather be getting crafty than making content for Instagram? READ THIS ⤵⤵⤵ Same friend, same. I used to spend HOURS searching for trending audio, scripting & shooting reels and writing captions for Instagram. After lots of trial and error I now I have a real strategy I use to plan, create and post here on Instagram. I’m able to conceptualize and create a month’s worth of posts in a day and I love never having to wonder... What should I post today? I’ve got it planned out and my posts support my business goals. I’m ready to share it all with you in our new course debuting next month, 📱 Instagram for Creatives 🎨 where you’ll learn to confidently create and plan on-brand content that builds your community and business on Instagram. Join the waiting list via our bio 🔗. This course is years in the making and I can’t wait to show you the behind the scenes of how I manage two accounts and over 30k followers.
Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” If it’s not obvious, I choose the later. Here’s to my 47th year on this planet and every beautiful, sad, funny or confusing moment. Thank you to all the people who have loved and supported me and made life more interesting. Ever grateful for it all. P.S. - Last year I started this birthday tradition of making a slideshow of myself through the years. The idea behind it is to destigmatize self-celebration. Why shouldn’t we toot our own horn? The answer is, we should! Birthdays are the ideal time to look at yourself with the eyes of someone who adores you. YES, you can (and should) adore yourself! We’re taught that self-love makes us conceited & that it’s a bad thing but loving yourself is actually pretty selfless. Hear me out! If you love yourself, you’ll embrace the best parts of you & share them. When you share those parts with the world, you make it a better place! It’s scary to put yourself out there but you can’t let that little voice hold you back. Think about the artists, musicians, actors, chefs, writers etc. who inspired you, made you see things from a new perspective, caused you to swell with emotion or made you feel less alone. I bet every single one of them wrestled with their inner critic. How much less magic & beauty would be in the world if they gave in to that voice saying, “what makes you think you’re so special?” etc. If you want to get me a birthday present, it won’t cost you a dime. Comment below with something you love about yourself. It can be a talent, accomplishment, natural gift etc. It can be BIG or tiny (if you’re proud of yourself for getting out of bed today despite feeling anxious/depressed, that’s something to be proud of & love about yourself and it isn’t tiny). Sometimes the smallest things can feel like mountains. Get to it! I can’t wait to celebrate YOU today! #innerwork #innercriticbegone #impostersyndrome #movingforward #keeponkeepingon #birthdaywishes #smallbizsupport #smallbusinesssupport
