Delegation. 
Do you ever delegate or outsource? I find that to really get a work life balance it’s needed. To grow your business, it’s needed. But it can be scary I get it! .
Let me know if you outsource? And if so what? .
I have delegated my entire business this week so I can go to Goa. It is the best thing I can do, and have set up both businesses in a way that makes it possible. .
See you in 9 days! 🏝☀️🏖

I met my husband on Match.com! We had to write a headline to introduce yourself and mine was Come As You Are.

It was of course a reference to my love of Nirvana but it meant much more.

It meant I wanted to meet someone confident to come as they are, no pretences, no BS. Luckily Adam totally got what I meant, and indeed that is why he wanted to meet in the first place.

This is the same for everything we do in business. You need to be real, honest, truthful to be trusted. No BS - no fakery.

People will love the real you (and if they don't then they are not right for you anyway!) But why do we then hide the real us from our customers, followers, readers? They will love to see you, to feel that there is a person there that cares, that makes the products, that writes the copy, that takes the photos... Come out from behind the desk. Come out from behind the screen. 
My mastermind to help you do JUST THIS closes this week (Friday) so now is the time to join!

Becoming the face of my brand has been the best thing I have ever done. It's got me on TV, trips abroad, meeting celebs, representing awesome brands, writing a book with Paloma Faith and more.

JOIN BRAND YOU AND LETS GET THIS STARTED HERE    https://www.theindiepractice.com/shop/the-hive

Press! Our client @randfweddings giving their expertise wedding planning advice in @closeronline this month. This is great exposure for many reasons - the main one being they’re pitched as the expert with a photo clearly showing that its them. 
We’ve got lots of press coming up which is so exciting - watch this space for coverage! .

This week I posted a photo of handmade soap on one of my client's Instagram page. She usually gets 50-70 likes per post, but this one, as I write this, has had 468 likes, a 6413 reach and has generated 58 people to check out her profile.

Why did this post do better than the rest? Was it a better photo? Was it posted at the right time? Did she tag people or add a GEO  tag?

It was actually down to the hashtags that were used. 
The insights tell us that 6413 accounts were reached and 91% of those were not following her. 
6463 of the 7432 impressions came from the hashtags we used. (I do love a stat!) The hashtags made all the difference.

Yet so many people I know don't either use them, or even understand them. But  they are pretty easy when you know how!

The reason I am telling you this is that we have launched our new Guide to getting better engagement on Instagram using hashtags which includes 500 wedding hashtags. It has been really well received - you can buy yours here for only £10.

The guide has the Do's and Don'ts but also, 500 # that you can use today to get yourself found by new people from the large ones to the more niche ones.

Get it in the shop online now! .
