Does the idea of going live on facebook, IG stories or the new IG Reels freak you out? Today I talk with Virginia Kerr, video and marketing coach and strategist and we talk about the 3 must have tips for showing up on video to build trust in your business.
3 MUST HAVES before you start and to jot down on a post it before you start!
1.) HOOK
2.) 3-5 BULLET POINTS TO TALK ABOUT
3.) CALL TO ACTION
Why video?
Going face to camera builds trust with your audience and increases the know, like and trust factor that makes them feel like they know you. Are you more likely to buy from a friend? Of course, you are.
Storytelling on video
Stories matter and allow people to connect. If you can identify the superpower in your story then you can connect more deeply with your audience and find your gift to help other people with your story and gifts.
Confidence comes with Repetitive Practice
Just start and practice will make you more comfortable. If you feel more confident putting on make up then that's great, but people love looking at the raw and vulnerability of IG stories because it's showing the real you.
Be seen as a resource
Share something that you DON'T sell and recommend in your stories once a day. This will help you to be seen as a resource and not like a salesman. You can talk about your product with confidence, but find a happy medium and recommend other things that you don't sell, but they could benefit from it.
Where should I start if I'm afraid of video?
Start with IG stories face to camera. It's only 15 second clips that you can use filters and stickers and GIFs to make it fun or even questions and tips that you can offer. You have the ability to delete a story if you mess up, and knowing that it's only out there for 24 hours helps you to feel more comfortable sharing.
Why would people care to watch my video? Who would watch this?
People need and crave connection. They want to be entertained, learn free tips, and feel connected to you.
Do's and Don't of Facebook Lives
Don't do this on video
- Don't introduce yourself on the video
- Don't wait for people to join your LIVES before you start.
- Don't say "Happy Friday, or other greetings"
DO this on video
- DO start with a hook right away (Ex: 3 must have tips to help you show up on video)
- DO have high energy and be excited.
- DO talk directly to your avatar. Assume they know you and are consuming your content.
- DO include a Call to Action at the end. Do you want her to answer a poll
- DO be prepared. Know your hook, an outline of what you want to share and the call to action.
- DO ask them to do things so that they will comment and answer you. This ups your engagement and boosts your posts. This makes it a two way conversation and market research. You can get market research. go into the DMs and get their exact language.
What are Reels?
Reels is multiple shot or edits that can be combined with text bubbles etc. You can use other apps like inshot, videoleap, or videoshot video and upload it to reels so you can repurpose it.
If you inspire, entertain or teach on reels then on the explorer tab you can be found by people who otherwise may not have found you.
Up for a challenge? Post in your stories or Reels or Lives and tag @thevirginiakerr and I @angel.mcelhaney with #videochallenge.

Do you ever feel like you are a jack of all trades and a master of none? Maybe you are good at so many things that you feel like you lack the authority or expertise to be "the person" that does one thing?
Today on the Multipassionate Mompreneur Podcast I spoke with Stefanie Gass from The Mompreneur Mastermind Show and we discussed how to figure out your God Led Calling and how to build an audience by building an umbrella brand through podcasting.
How do you niche down?
Internal Work-Take the time to reflect, pray, and journal so you can have that quiet time to figure out what you like to do, what you are naturally good at, and what you want to monetize. Waking up early for some time alone is a good way to do this internal work, as well as asking reflective questions of those whom you care for. An example is, "If I were to teach you something, what do you think it would be? Another strategy for making time and space for this work is to delete the social media apps on the weekends. This gives you time to rest and refuel and just be. This also sets boundaries with your clients, customers and fans as you grow your audience. Remember to also tune out from the media if you need to as well.
How to niche down?
Write down what you enjoy doing, what are your passions? Next up, write down the things that make you up; your hard wiring. For instance, what is your enneagram number, tendency or disposition? Do you enjoy being around people or working alone? Think about who you are and what it is that depletes you or fills you up. What skills do you have? Did you go to college to be a teacher or are you an effective speaker? Lastly, record a list of life experiences that have shaped who you are. Are you a parent, have you experienced loss, or have you made it to the other side of a problem that someone may need help with?
Once you have all of these figure out where they intersect and chances are this will be something that you very much know and could enjoy doing for some time. Decide and commit to monetizing this ONE THING for 6-12 months. This doesn't mean that you can't do the other things that you enjoy and could monetize, just that you do those for enjoyment for this season. Once you use that focused energy to do that one thing for 6-12 months then it's a good time to pivot.
Want a large form content funnel that can serve and solve for your audience with while still letting you be you? Podcasting is a way to allow multiple content pillars reside under an overarching brand. This allows you to pivot when needed without restructuring your whole business.

What if I told you that you could ditch dieting and still make your goals? You could stop yo-yo dieting by doing just these few simple practices to start trusting yourself!
What is Intuitive Eating?
Its a way of making peace with food and recovering from the chronic dieting mentality associated with depriving yourself from food groups. This method was created by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995 and relies heavily on instinct, emotion and being more mindful of our thoughts.
How to start?
Ditch the diet mindset. No foods are now seen as good or bad. This helps you to eliminate the shame that comes from "going off your diet" or "restarting on monday."
Listen to your bodies cues and slow down to listen. Remove weight loss from the equation and flip how you think about food.

7 TIPS TO MAKE MONEY AT HOME AND OVERCOME HURDLES TO PAY OFF OVER $36K IN ONE YEAR WITH HEATHER MCGUFFEY
MESSY ACTION
You don't have to have it all figured out to start. Get around people that foster a belief in yourself and get started. In the doing phase you will figure out if this is for you and if it's not that ok too. The answers are in the doing.
PIVOT INSTEAD OF QUIT
Sometimes we think that if something doesn't work right away that we need quit, but the goal didn't change did it? The path or way to get to the goal may change, but the goal didn't. Make the goal big enough to you so that you don't quit, but pivot instead.
FOCUS ON THE CONTROLLABLES
You can't control everything. You can control yourself and how you show up to each day and that's pretty much it. Once we surrender control over what we can't control then we can have the mindset to focus on what we can change and actually succeed.
BE PATIENT
Success can't be rushed. Breathe and learn to enjoy the process.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME
Notice the small wins over time. Track your progress and let the little wins matter.
USE GOD'S GIFTS
What are you good at? What comes natural to you?
BE OPEN MINDED
You don't always know the way or direction that blessings and abundance will flow to you. Be open minded for the ways that God could be answering your prayers.

TIME BLOCKING MADE EASY
Time. Do you feel like it is slipping through your fingers? There is just not enough time to do all the things that are important to you from the kids, the house, the business and your relationships? Why do some people see to have control over where their time goes and flows, while I don't? It must be that they don't have all that I have on my plate or that they don't have the young kids that I have right? Maybe they have help and well, I've lost my mom so I just don't have that, right?
WRONG.
You can have control over your time and you can get the peace and calm that comes from knowing when and what you are going to give time and attention to all the things that matter to you. Today we talk with Chelsi Jo of the podcast SYSTEMIZE YOUR LIFE and she teaches us the ultimate guide to hack your time and gain the control we so desperately need. She shows us how to be proactive, rather than reactive and be more productive, present and peaceful.
PRE-WORK
Reflect on what you want your motherhood and business to look like. Who do you want to be? Do you want to constantly be annoyed when your kids come up and you are "trying to work?" or would you like to have the focus it takes to fulfill all of your roles fully?
The Great 8
These are your standards as a family and works well to know what is important to you and prioritizing it. This helps us to remember WHY we are in a work from home business and focus on what is important to us first. This will leave us feeling more centered. We won't be constantly trying to fit work in all day because we know WHEN our work happens. Are you doing each of these?
Meal Prep
Personal Time
Family Fun
Date Night
To Do's
Cleaning
Personal TIme
Physical Exercise
PAPER OR DIGITAL
BOTH! Chelsi explains why the perfect system is merging the paper and digital planners so that you can know when and what you do in different blocks. We learn how to start with 5 blocks. She recommends a planner with a vertical layout and the timeblocks with and without kids. This will keep you from trying to multi-task all day, but instead will give more of your energy focused on each card or task for each block. This will enable your kids to get the attention they need, fill their tired tanks and also eliminate mom guilt.

Ever got tagged in a video or post along with 30 other people? How did it make you feel? My guess is that it didn't make you feel special, or seen or valued, right? We have to get rid of this idea that more is better. Sometimes we think that it will only be worth our time to do all that it takes to run a business or a facebook community or all the things involved in all this if we have a huge following. Part of this is because we want to know that our voice is reaching people and I get that.
1.) Care- how can you make someone feel seen and valued and special? You can ask them what they are struggling with and offer solutions by going into the DMs and asking. Yes take the time to send an individual message to that one person and care about the answer.
2.) Stick and Stay- You will reach any goal that you set before yourself if you just DECIDE you are doing this and develop a workflow and do the mundane stuff to help you to be consistent. People will be looking to see if you are someone that they can trust to be there even when it gets hard or boring or just not as fun.
3.) Be a human- Act and talk like a real person and not a scripted robot.
Tactical things NOT TO DO:
1.) Don't change the name of your facebook group every other day. Yes, this will notify or remind people about your group, but it will also annoy the crap out of them.
2.) Don't tag 30 people in your live videos.
Tactical things TO DO:
1.) SHOW YOUR FACE-Make a VOICE DM or even better a VIDEO and send to new friends or followers or new members of your group to welcome them to the group. I love the idea of set video and a personalized voice dm for double goodness. This also includes doing face to camera in your stories.
2.) RESPOND- Every person that comments on your content respond with a comment back, ideally a question. This builds trust and continues them to tune into your content.

Feel like you're on a roller coaster? You're finding that sometimes you have so much energy and sometimes you're just on it when it comes to your business getting things done in your household, your overall productivity, just all the things? And then other times are you feeling so drained?
Feel like you are a different person from week to week or even day? Today we learn how to gauge our expectations with cyclical mapping, otherwise known as cycle syncing. We talked with Ash McDonald on this weeks podcast and she's going to go into guys so much wisdom on how this can help you to up your productivity, to gauge your expectations and to honor yourself as a woman. This episode is literally going to change the way that you see your entire month and how you are showing up for yourself and your business thanks to cycle syncing or cyclical mapping.
WHAT IS CYCLE SYNCING/CYCLICAL MAPPING?
Where you can adjust your diet, exercise and social interaction based on the changes in your cycle. It's essentially giving yourself permission to honor the things that are happening in your body and how that affects how you show up in the world. So look at it at gauging your expectations for workflow and productivity so that you can ward off exhaustion and burnout in your work, but also think about how this could impact your motherhood, how it can impact your weight loss goals. And maybe even the frustration you get whenever you are expecting the same exact thing, the same exact habits that I speak about so much in every day.
Interview with mother of 3, therapist and mentor Ash McDonald. She helps entrepreneurial women have the success they are accustomed to without sacrificing what matters to them so they can have a sense of flow in their lives and business.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could twitch our noses like mary poppins and the clothes would be put away and things would get done automatically? OK..ok Butler can't do all this, but it can do automations to make your life and workflow go smoother. The key to succeeding in your business is going to be consistency. When your workflow doesn't have patterns or "flow" then you are less likely to use it so knowing this tool will be super helpful. Remember to head over to the fb group to see the accompanying video that goes along with this episode and I would love to help you if you need it so connect with me on social.
