It's time to go WORK!! Today we're unpacking the exact system I would use if I had 0 followers & wanted to become a full-time influencer/content creator by the end of 2025! Today we're getting a little more ✨rigid ✨ of creating a super simple business & content strategy that you can use every single week to simplify what you're doing as a creator to create a solid base then add to it! After our content workshop building out your plan, we dive into a little coffee chat unpacking my experience with doing this & how it is harder than we think to figure out our "thing" on social media! Then we go into a little "after work social" 💅🏻 where I'm sharing what I'm changing about the podcast, what I'm working on with Busy Blooming & updates!
