Although you might have the best of intentions, some of the things you’re doing on messenger may be diminishing your credibility and causing you to lose, instead of attracting potential clients to your business.
If you’re doing any of the following things, it’s time to stop…immediately:
Suddenly you’re in a panic. Your cash flow is at an all-time low, and it’s been ages since anyone inquired about working with you.
You’ve been so busy with your head down working in your business that you’ve forgotten to work on your marketing. There are a bunch of reasons why you’re not attracting new business. Let me tell you what they are and one simple secret that can help you to never be in this situation again.
It’s not what the opportunity can do for you, it’s what you do with the opportunity.

Facebook groups have gained tremendous popularity over the last few years. There are groups for just about every topic you can think of and there are a ton of groups designed to help and support entrepreneurs.
There is an excuse that is used FAR too often when thinking about starting a business venture in a niche market. You’ve probably heard it before, you may have even used it before. It’s the classic “oh no, I can’t. Too many people are already doing that” excuse.
For the record – that excuse is a lie.
Instagram is often an untouched resource for business owners. You’re able to show your personality and creativity through visual storytelling. Whether you sell clothing, bath and beauty products, stationery or anything else in between, Instagram can be an incredible way to reach more people and start generating income for your business.
