Success starts with you.  You can have the greatest idea for a business the world has ever seen, but if you don’t have the mindset of success to back it up, you’re never going to reach that $7+ mark. Real, next-level success takes guts. You have to be driven, confident, and a little bit fearless to take your business to the top, and you can’t do that if you’re constantly doubting yourself or scared to take the next step.  I truly believe that next-level success starts with a strong mindset, so today I’m sharing tips that help you: Stay focused on the actions that propel your business forward Improve areas of your business that could be even better Bring your best to the table and treat every day as an opportunity for growth Overcome negative self-talk and become your own best cheerleader Accept your flaws and learn to work with them rather than against them  Listen now, then then visit www.sophiezo.com to learn more about the all-in-one team that helps you bring your vision for your business to life!  You can learn more about Sophie at: Website: https://sophiezo.com  Facebook: https://facebook.com/sophiezo  Instagram: https://instagram.com/thesophiezo  Twitter: https://twitter.com/sophiezo  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/sophiazollmann  Clubhouse: @sophiezo Free Discovery Call: http://sophiezocalendar.com

I’ve been running my business for a long time, and over the years, I have gotten a LOT of advice from coaches, advisors, strategists and mentors.  Some of it has been fantastic. I have been inspired time and time and again by the brilliant ideas I’ve received from some of the most creative people I know, and they made my business better. Other times, well, let’s just say, it hasn’t worked out as well… Deciding not to a follow a mentor’s advice was my Stevie Nicks moment - the moment I realized, “Wait a minute, you CAN go your own way!” And that changed the way I ran my business! In this episode, we’ll explore: When you should listen to advice, and when you should ignore it How to pull out the parts that work for YOUR business and discard the rest Having the courage to eschew advice from REALLY successful people if it doesn’t feel authentic to your business When to check in with yourself and trust your own intuition Why you SHOULD go your own way Listen now, and when you’re to talk about growing your business YOUR way, let’s talk! https://sophiezocalendar.com Want to learn more about SophieZo?

I’ve talked many times about the importance of using social media as a part of your marketing strategy, but do you know the real reason that social media is so vital to your success?  It’s not the boost in visibility - although that’s a great perk.
