A few years ago, Brian and I started dreaming as a couple. The vision and clarity that brought to our home and our marriage changed our lives, but it didn’t necessarily change my business.
In 2019 I was constantly writing and creating content for social media. Everything that happened in my life, I tried to spin into some form of content.
It was working. My following was growing and so was my business.
But it was coming at a cost.
I found myself easily frustrated, constantly distracted, and always taking and editing pictures. Plus it took so much time.
Around that same time, I read a book called Digital Minimalism. I actually think I listened to it on audible, but same same. Anywho, that book challenged me to take a step back from social.
And I started to wonder, “Could I really run a business without social media?”
It’s a dreaming question.
Could I? Would I want to? What would that look like?
I started dreamscaping. (It’s like landscaping but for your dreams!) I wrote out what it would look like, how I would make it happen, and the positive change I thought it could have on my mental health, my family, and yes, even my business.
So I made a plan. And I signed off social media for a whole month.
Friend, that one month turned into two and then three, and then a full year, and now it’s been a solid couple years since I have created content for social media. A couple years!
Now I know what you’re thinking, “But what about your business?!?!”
So my company has this award called their annual sales award. In 14 years of being a top-paid earner and leader in the company, I had never earned this award.
My first full year off of social media, I earned that annual sales award without even making it a goal.
I know…it all sounds too good to be true.
Not having to create content for social and having a growing business…how can that be?
It’s simpler then you may think, and for me it all started with a dreaming question.
This is why dreaming matters. Getting away from the day-to-day and having space to think through what you really want your business and life to look like can change everything for your future.
That’s why we host dreamers and doers retreats. It’s a curated 5 days of time and space and dreaming and clarity. It’s space for you to grow personally so your business and your life can grow professionally.
And here’s the best news.
Whether you’ll be on social media forever or if you would love to know that getting off is a real possibility (or even spending less time there), dreamers and doers is for you.
It’s not all about social media. Our Dreamers and Doers retreats are all about who you are and who you’re becoming and what that means for your life, your family, your future, and your business.
I couldn’t be more excited about the Dreamers and Doers retreat we’re hosting at my favorite resort in Cancun, September 8-13th 2022, and we still have spots available!
So come dream with us. You can read up on all the details here.
