Instagram Update: What Is Alt Text and Should You Add It to Your Posts? May 06, 2021

Show notes

Every day, Instagram updates its platform with bug fixes, improvements, and new features.
Because of this, as business owners we have to constantly be aware of them to change our strategy too!
That’s why you can always count on me to keep you updated on all things Instagram: what changes are coming to the platform, and most importantly how to leverage these changes to grow your business.
In this recording of an Ask Me Anything session I hosted on Facebook Live, we’re chatting about ALT Text on Instagram… an important feature of the app you may not have been aware of.
*See? I got your back, Buttercup!*
In addition to ALT Text, I also answer questions on:
The best way to manage your time
Finding your purpose/defining your “why”
Whether or not your captions can be too long
And that’s just the tip of this social media iceberg, friend! Click play on this business Q+A to get ahead of the curve!

My #1 Piece of Business Advice to Achieve Success Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

Do you want to know what my #1 piece of business advice is?
No, it’s not to get a business coach, read a bunch of self-help books, or make a social media content calendar...
It’s to start each day with a gratitude list.
People typically hear that and they say “Jasmine, where am I going to find the time to make a list like that?!” My answer is always this: You have time when you make time.
Every day, just spend 5 minutes thinking of small things that you are thankful for, such as your electric toothbrush, fridge filled with food, and the ability to pick up the phone and call your mom or dad. It is super calibrating.
>>So friend, focus on getting excited about doing more, but avoid getting overwhelmed by feeling grateful for how far you’ve come.<<

3 of The Hardest Lessons I’ve Learned As A Business Owner Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

“The only way we move past fear of failure is to put ourselves out again and again until the sting disappears.”

This quote by my friend Lewis Howes really sums up the big “F” word: Failure.

It’s not a hot topic to talk about, and it isn’t easy to admit. Failure used to be my biggest fear. I used to define my life based on successes and failures, wins and losses, like life was some big scoreboard… But then I had a mindset shift.

I realized that failures were just lessons in disguise, and if you look at each experience (good or bad) as a lesson, you’ll get MUCH more out of it than chalking it up to a success or failure.

With this simple shift, I’m able to pursue my passion and, like Lewis said, put myself out there again and again, no matter the result.

Today, I’m going to give you a candid look at my three greatest business failures (AKA LESSONS!) and what I learned from them with the hope that you can learn from them too.
