Since my social media detox back in August I’ve been reflecting on my marketing strategy. It’s taken me this long to take big action because what I’m being called to do goes against conventional wisdom. And FOMO is real. 😅

But I believe in following your intuition and don’t agree with one size fits all marketing advice - especially for small business owners. I already downgraded my Pinterest account from business to personal, and now I’m quitting TikTok, Twitter/X, Threads, and LinkedIn.

I’ve read many books over the past ten years that have inspired my life trajectory, views, and perspectives. But no book has directly impacted my twenties like these two did. -> medium.com/@missmegabug/the-…

I typically set an income goal for my business each year. While I include my expenses, benefits, and owner’s draws in my budget, I’ve never considered each of them a goal... -> missmegabug.com/blog/my-busi…

The energy of a new year inspires us to transform. But the typical New Year Resolution falters after six weeks. When we rush into too many changes and/or don’t have a clear plan, we set ourselves up for resistance.

And you can start small. By the end of the year I’d like to be walking 10,000 steps a day but I know it’s not realistic to start off at that rate. It’s ok - and more sustainable - to ease into your end goal.

In 2014, I graduated with my bachelor’s degree and $0 in student loan debt. At just 19 years old, this set me up for success early on — and mental health challenges I’m still dealing with ten years later. -> medium.com/@missmegabug/why-…

It’s ok if you’re not ending the year as you hoped. We can’t predict challenges or setbacks, and we may have course corrected if we realized we were working towards something we didn’t actually want or had the energy for.

Reflect on your year with compassion. Acknowledge what you did and learned that you weren’t anticipating. Celebrate goals achieved, but also celebrate the moments you were able to rest, enjoy, and be.

Set goals based on how you want to feel and who you want to be. Goals with a deeper purpose keep us motivated. And if we expect progress over perfection, we allow space for interruptions without viewing them as setbacks.

I’ve never liked the diamond metaphor. It’s an excuse to push harder, much to the detriment of our well-being and ability to complete quality work. Some of us do work well under pressure, but modern life has led to expectations from many angles-and we can’t sustain them all.

There will be seasons of life -and business- that are more demanding than others and it’s our responsibility to push back on that pressure and set boundaries.

Determine the areas where you will and will not compromise and be mindful of what you take on. “No” is a complete sentence.
