COLLABORATE LOCAL 👊⁣
⁣
In yesterday's Instagram for Business Workshop, after going through our 6 steps before you get to your content strategy, the group discussion had a focus on supporting other businesses.⁣
⁣
We went through regam etiquette to working with influencers & how to find complementary businesses that you can collaborate with.⁣
⁣
Social Media is a great tool for establishing these sorts of relationships, so if you are thinking about working with, or collaborating with another business, but are perhaps a little hesitant to contact them, here's a little to-do list before you make that cold call!⁣
⁣
➖ Be clear on who your audience is.⁣
➖ Be clear on your goals & why you want to collaborate. ⁣
➖ Research (insta stalk) & identify at least 10 local businesses that align with your customer & your business.⁣
➖ Then create that connection with them, simply by engaging with their content, slide into their DM's & say hi. Never go straight into a straight sales pitch. Establishing a trusting relationship first is key.⁣
⁣
➖ From there, we love to ask them out for coffee to make sure we have a genuine connection with them, & then see if the collaboration ideas can happen naturally. ⁣
⁣
It might feel a little scary asking someone to coffee but you'll be surprised how many small businesses want to support one another. ⁣
⁣
Thanks to the amazing business owners who came along yesterday, and we have just decided to run one more Instagram workshop this year, happening on Dec 18th, only 8 spots available - Link in bio @2atstartup⁣

#9TOTHRIVE ⁣💃🏻
⁣
What a day 🙌🏽⁣
⁣
I didn’t get to see everyone speaking today but the sessions I did get to sit in on, there seemed to be a common theme of self-love & what that looks like in business & life. ⁣
⁣
@keminekvapil said that having people that you can share you whole self with is vital & that we are better at everything when we give time to ourself. 🙏🏻⁣
⁣
@megankgale summed up the importance of self nourishment by saying that “it is better to give 100% of yourself 50% of the time than 50% of yourself 100% of the time” 🙌🏽⁣
⁣
So many important reminders that it’s ok to be selfish & that if saying yes to someone else means saying no to yourself then rethink your answer.⁣
⁣
Head over to @keminekvapil to see all the behind the scenes stories we helped with! 📸
Thanks for having me @businesschicks

GETTING YOUR HANDS DIRTY⁣ 🎨
⁣
This weekend we got creative with our @oneroofwomen family! Swipe to see our masterpieces ⁣⬅️
⁣
Working in the digital world, so often our creativity is made with a trackpad & shown on a computer screen so it was nice to get our hands dirty in the real world.⁣
⁣
As adults, taking some time-out to use our hands, mind & energy to explore our creative expression can be so valuable. There is plenty of research telling us that getting creative can improve brain function, mental health, & physical health.⁣ So why not! ⁣
And the best thing is you don't need to be the creative type as there is no right or wrong way to make art. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for a fab day team! ⁣👩🏼‍🎨👨🏻‍🎨

Hands up if you have ever felt so overwhelmed when it comes to coming up with content ideas that you just avoid posting all together?! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️⁣
⁣
We are hearing these sorts of comments more & more often, people just simply losing confidence with Social Media for business which then either leads to sporadic unplanned content or giving up on it altogether.⁣
⁣
And we get it, you're trying to do a million things when running your business, it's super hard to get on top of your socials.⁣
⁣
This is exactly why we designed our 3-hour Instagram for business workshop, it's a chance for you to stop & take some time out to work on your business, instead of in it.⁣
⁣
📲 We don't just show you how to use the app, we help you get clear on who your customer is, refine your key messaging, set your goals & ultimately help you gain the confidence you need to start creating content strategically!⁣
⁣
🎫 We just launched our November workshop & there are only 6 spots left! To come along simply follow the link in our bio for more info & tickets @2aTstartup 👈 ⁣
⁣
📧 Or, for those of you that want to book in for 1:1 coaching sessions email us at info@2atstartup.com.au for more details.⁣

ALIGN & ATTRACT ⁣⁣🙌🏼
⁣⁣
Have you ever stopped to think about what you stand for & what your values are as a business? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Whether it be new customers, investors, new hires or collaboration opportunities, more often than not we are seeing that people want to do business with companies that share their beliefs.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, if you're feeling a little bit stuck when it comes to getting clear on your values, start by asking yourself a few questions like; what is important to you? What do you want to be known for? What qualities do you value in others? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These types of questions will hopefully spark your beliefs but remember it can take time & there's no rush!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here's an example of a few of 2aT's values:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🔥 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, it fuels our fire. ⁣⁣
✨ 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭, doing good, is good business.⁣⁣
🚪 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧, old ways don't open new doors.⁣⁣
💁‍♀️ 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, be real. You are your best asset. ⁣⁣
💡 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, we love ideas that challenge the norm. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These values are not only our guiding principles but they are communicated in every aspect of the business, which essentially helps attract more of the right people & they make the process of saying 'no' easier when it comes to tough decisions. ⁣⁣
⁣
What do you stand for?

FAIRY FLOSS & COCKTAILS 🍥⁣
⁣
Strong women, cocktails & pizza - what more could you want?⁣
⁣
Last week I invited a few of my coaching clients to a 2aT Catchup event & opened it to others as well, a simple excuse to get together to create amazing connections with people who genuinely understand not only the rewarding aspects of running a business but also the hurdles & difficulties that can come with it.⁣
⁣
All of us at different stages, from those at the ideation stage to those 7+ years deep. Keeping it intimate, it was so valuable to learn from & be inspired by each others stories.⁣
⁣
So this is just a little thank you to Rozanne @evenluxe, Bronwyn @promolocoau, Jan @moseystore & Annelyse @annelysebusaccount for coming along! Can't wait for the next one! ⁣🥂
