The Jasmine Star Show

Every life-changing adventure, decision, or opportunity I’ve had started off with a side hustle.In case you’re unfamiliar with that term, a side hustle is a small business that is *usually* not your main source of income while you get it off the ground.Side hustles are not guaranteed to be a full-time career, but you’ll be lucky if it becomes one. It could take 2 months, 2 years, or 20 years…but as long as you are moving forward in the right direction that is all you can do.Remember: you are responsible for the effort, not the outcome.If you are executing at 110% then it will happen at the time it is supposed to happen.Ready to make some changes and balance your time to better reflect what your priorities are?

Does Instagram REALLY matter?I was thinking about this topic the other day because let me deal it to you straight: many business owners have personal opinions around specific platforms and it’s affecting their decision-making when it comes to using social media for their business.Our objective as business owners is to make decisions that benefit our business… personal feelings aside.We have to CHOOSE to market our business using the best outlets available to us. 100 years ago, it was via newspapers… then the radio… then it was on TV… then it transformed into billboards, the internet, and finally: social media.I personally think that in 2022, for many business owners Instagram is an excellent place to market your business.It’s completely fine if you choose not to use social media, but if you use Instagram to market your business, I’d like to share with you my top 2 tips for business owners using this platform in 2022, so click play NOW!I hope these tips will help you use Instagram to market your business… because my prediction is that it’s here to stay, and it’s NEVER too late to start!

What most people don’t know is that when you start a business, you have to make the conscious decision to become a marketer.Because as much as you love what you do (whether it be painting, copywriting, cooking, photography, business coaching or anything else), the reality is that without marketing, you won’t ever get to do it! Not as a business, anyway.That’s why you have to make the conscious decision to SELL your products or services… You need to market your brand in order to get customers, and that involves a lot of work.This is why I always say “building a business isn’t for the faint of heart”... because it isn’t.>>So if you’re not doing the work to market yourself, don’t start a business. Because it won’t be successful anyway… That’s just real talk!<<But if you ARE willing to do this, you’re just not sure how, you’re talking to the right girl!

Oftentimes as business owners, we’re afraid to try something new.But isn’t that what entrepreneurship is all about?
