159. Back to Business Bootcamp Day 11 - Engagement

10+ Quick Engagement Tasks to Build Stronger Connections (Day 11 of Back to Business Boot Camp)

Welcome to Day 11 of Back to Business Boot Camp! Today, we’re diving into engagement—the two-way street that builds powerful connections. I'm sharing a list of quick, easy tasks that will help you increase engagement for your business and practice generosity by engaging with others. Plus, a quick reminder that it’s okay to pause and catch up, whether on the boot camp tasks or within The Best 90 Days Ever.

Engagement is not a one-way street; to consistently receive it, you need to extend that generosity and give it back! In this episode, I share a list of quick, practical engagement tasks—most of which take less than 10 minutes—that you can use to start conversations, build connections, and meet your audience where they are right now.

We cover the art of asking specific, engaging questions in emails and posts (even if they aren't about your business), why using different Instagram Story stickers can help, and the powerful feeling you can give to others by simply replying to their newsletters or posts. This is about taking regular, consistent action to build meaningful relationships with your audience and community.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• 10+ quick engagement tasks you can write down and pull out when you have a spare 10 minutes.

• Why giving engagement is just as important as receiving it, and how it helps build lasting relationships.

• The importance of setting a 10-minute timer for tasks like introductions to maintain momentum.

• How to use specific questions in your emails and posts to get real replies (and why vague questions don't work).

• Why asking your audience for personal recommendations (like a suitcase!) can be a great connection-builder.

• The power of creating content around a common feeling your audience is experiencing right now.

• The best way to use a survey to gather insights and create new content.

• Why replying to Instagram Stories and email newsletters from people you admire is a highly effective, free way to build strong connections.
