Facebook Profile or Business Page: 
 
Hello Soulfull People. 
 
Today I’m going to be talking a little bit about social media and I’m going to be sharing about an experiment that I did on my business page versus my personal profile. This is one of the biggest questions I get asked. But before I do that, can we first talk about the thick, heavy energy of the end of summer? What’s it been like for you? I just notice paying attention to energetics and managing energy instead of time that, I don’t know what the weather has been like where you listen, because I know you listened from all over the world, but here in Texas we have had over 30 consecutive days of over 100-degree heat. We’re back down to the regular 100s but we were like 106, 107, 108 a couple of weeks ago.
 
It’s funny, this happens every single year, and I guess I’m talking about it to help us remember or help me remember, just as an anchor, that this is just a season. This is a time when things get really thick at the end of the summer, kids are going back to school. And they have adjusted it in Texas where they’re still going back in the middle of summer. When I was little, we went back and it was very clearly fall. And so I am experiencing a little bit of seasonal confusion. My brain wants it to be crisp, fall, new ideas, finish the fourth quarter strong. But the honest to goodness truth is it is thick as molasses right now. And I am so thankful to my friends and coaches who helped me remember to just let it be.
 
Today we have a little bit of a businessy topic. Y’all know I love social media. I have been, as of September 3rd, which is next week from this recording or two weeks from this recording, I will have been a self-employed business owner for 16 years. Holy cow. Shortly after that, social media showed up. When I first started working for myself, social media did not exist. It might’ve existed, but I didn’t use it. I was not a big MySpace user. I had a MySpace page, but I didn’t really get it. I started with Facebook and Twitter. When I first started, we were just beginning to use email in business. But social media for me was so helpful at the time I left the real estate industry 10 years ago to come directly into coaching in the online space.
 
Over the years, many people have asked me that question, “How did you build your business using social media?” This is before everybody was out there teaching about it. There were a few people teaching about it. At one point in 2014, 2015, and 2016, I ran a program called Share Your Heart, Show Your Work. It is still some of my favorite content, but I did an online class. One of these days I’d like to resurrect it and update it and make it available. Right now the archives are available to all my clients in Soulfull Success but Share Your Heart, Show Your Work was my method of creating relationship and soulful based business via the use of social media.
 
One of the questions that I get asked all the time to this day was, “Do you use your personal profile or your professional page?” I have had a page for a very long time, but honestly, up until recently I mostly used my personal profile to share my heart and show my work. Let me put a little disclaimer in there, I’m aware that Facebook’s terms of service the last time I checked, which was a couple of years ago, so I don’t know if the language has changed, but I know that people were often very scared like, “Oh, I shouldn’t post anything on business on my personal profile because my account could get terminated.” Well, that is possible. But when I read the language, it said that a personal profile is not to be used exclusively for business.
