5 things to Stop Doing on Social Media

If you want to succeed on Social Media, you have to address your limiting beliefs and mindset. Here are 5 things that you should avoid doing right now:

?Stop comparing yourself

Comparison is a thief of joy. Don’t compare your first year with somebody’s twentieth year because they have already acquired more experience than you. During your first year, you will make more mistakes but you are also going to have a huge learning curve. Just be gentle with yourself. When you start comparing yourself to people on the internet or on social media, remember that we all start somewhere. What is important is the journey, the process that you are following, and not the final destination.

?Stop playing small and safe

Be realistic but also aim big and have confidence that you can achieve, whatever you set your mind to. When you play too safe and you don't take the required risks in your business, you will not experience as much growth as you could have. Also as I like to say, “you should fail fast” in order to succeed. The more you try, the more you take risks, especially when you are in your first years of business, the more likely you are to actually improve and learn. Take your failures as a learning experience.

?Stop selling yourself short

Start showing up on social media, as the expert that you already are. Talk about your expertise more and share valuable content, because that's also how you will get more confident. It is only by practicing that you will get to this point. Also, review your biography on social media. If it isn't clear and doesn’t attract your target audience, then it's time to update it.

?Stop scrolling and procrastinating

It' can be hard to stay focused when you are bombarded with notifications all the time. Once you're locked into one of these social media, you just start scrolling and it becomes addictive pretty quickly. So, make an effort to stop mindlessly scrolling on social media but start consuming content with the intention to learn from it. Find inspiration and start creating your own content. It is basically like doing market research, and competitor analysis which is actually key for your digital strategy.

?Stop being afraid of judgment

Think about something that you know you should do, but haven’t because you are afraid of people’s opinions. It may be sharing your own views on a particular topic or showing up on camera. One of the reasons why we fear being judged so much is because of our ego. We feel like everybody's watching us. The truth is, nobody really cares. Your ideal clients care about their current challenges and how your services can help them solve them.?
