That's such an insightful approach! Transitioning from social to business conversations can be tricky, but when done right, it feels natural and builds trust. I love how you highlight offering value first—it’s so so so important. When we focus on genuinely helping and engaging, the business opportunities follow organically. It’s all about cultivating real relationships rather than pushing for a quick sale. Leading from the heart is so powerful.
