Are you striving to build a social media brand that showcases your business authentically but will also last?
Today, I’ll share a simple yet powerful strategy to build a brand that reflects your unique identity, supports your goals, and remains impactful for the long haul.
The Secret to a Social Media Brand That Endures
If you're an entrepreneur or business owner finding it challenging to craft online content that drives growth, let me give you one game-changing piece of advice:
Document. Don’t Create.
This mantra changed everything for me when I started my journey as a Registered Dietitian launching my telehealth business back in 2016. It’s also the mindset I’m embracing again on my YouTube channel.
This week, I shared a new video: “Day in the Life of a Detroit Real Estate Investor – Exotic Cars & Coffee”
In the video, we take a Lamborghini to Cars and Coffee at the M1 Concourse, chat with my friend Jason Brown about how he’s earned millions in the stock market, and check out his Rolls Royce. Later, I bring you back to my home to answer your direct questions about real estate investing.

Sharing Your Journey Inspires Others
When you openly share your journey, something incredible happens: it inspires others to chase their dreams and see what’s possible.
I’ve been on my own journey to becoming a successful Detroit real estate investor, starting with just one rental property in 2020. Since then, I’ve built a solid real estate portfolio with over 1,000 units in the Detroit area.
Through my online content, I’m not just telling my story—I’m offering lessons, insights, and guidance so you can avoid MY mistakes and reach YOUR goals faster.
Will every video I create go viral? Probably not.
But that’s not the point. I’m focused on building a personal brand that’s genuine, relatable, and built to last.
Despite not having millions of followers, I’ve generated millions in profit through organic social media. A smaller, engaged audience can often deliver the best results.
I’m not trying to be anyone but myself—and that’s why I succeed.
Why Many People Struggle to Build a Lasting Social Media Brand
A common challenge for many aspiring creators is focusing on the wrong things:
Instead of sharing, you overthink—and ultimately, post nothing. Or, you post content that’s not uniquely YOU.
Here’s a reminder: Document, don’t create.
When you’re unsure what to post, show us your day. Share what you’ve learned. Offer your perspective.
Your voice matters! We want to see you succeed and show us what’s achievable.
