Sarah Thomson Online Social Butterfly portrait

Well hey there

Are you battling in the darkness of the digital world?

Would you love to feel confident when it comes to marketing your business on social media but just feel overwhelmed?

Did you hear that? It’s the sound of your brain whirring as you mindlessly scroll! Annoying right! How much time do you spend every single day doing this? I call it procastascrolling and yes, I made that up but it’s totally a thing. We all do it. The great thing about it is we can genuinely convince ourselves it is work. I am getting inspiration or connecting with others. Sound familiar?

Right, step away from the scroll and let’s give you a clear strategy on how to actually use social media to grow your business and, shudder, make sales!

I know that marketing can feel complicated and hard but honestly, I promise that it can be simple. Yes, there is some magic that needs to happen to build your knowledge, but it’s all good, I’ve got your back!

EP124 – Why You Should Enter Awards

In this episode of The Social Circus, I dive into the importance of entering awards, especially for women in business. I reflect on my own experiences, sharing how I’ve gone from being a finalist several times to winning my first major award this year. It wasn’t an overnight success, and I discuss how persistence and believing in yourself are key ingredients. Many of us hesitate to put ourselves forward, thinking we’re not good enough, but I encourage you to challenge that mindset. Whether you’re early in your journey or further along, entering awards can boost your confidence, visibility, and credibility in ways you may not expect!

Key Takeaways:

Awards can significantly enhance your business’s credibility.
It’s important to overcome the mindset of “not being good enough.”
Persistence is key in being recognised—many stumbles happen before success.
Women, in particular, need to get better at promoting their achievements.
Entering awards can open doors you may not even realise exist.

Notable Quotes:

“For every success story, there’s usually a couple of stumbles behind the scenes.”
“This year was my year, but it took a lot of effort to get here.”
“Women, especially, are really bad at tooting our own horn.”

  I joined Sarah's Digital Queens Mastermind in January 2023. We are in month 5 and I am transformed! I have a plan! We set out our annual goals, and revist these monthly and quarterley. I plan my social media content for the month, not just post ad-hoc! Our guest experts are amazing, I learn each and every time. The overall feel of our Mastermind is planning, support, sharing wins and hard times plus Sarah is a great motivator. The feeling of being in a group is great for me as I work from home, alone. It is the best thing I have done and cannot wait to see how far I will go in my business in another 5 months!

  I highly recommend Sarah's mastermind 'Digital Queens'.  I've loved the monthly planning sessions (this has been a needle-mover for me), the monthly expert training, the accountability that the co-working sessions and the check-ins give me, and the monthly sessions where we get to share our wins and our challenges.  I've also loved the input from the group - having a group of smart, fellow-business owners, with amazing insight, experience and advice has been a game-changer for me.  Entrepreneurship can be a pretty lonely game and this group has been an amazing sounding board for my ideas, a vent for my fears and frustrations and all-round cheer-leaders.  They've given me some amazing little nuggets of wisdom and ideas that have increased the trajectory of my business.  I definitely wouldn't be where I am, with the mindset that I have, without my (Digital) Queens.  Join.  Just Join.

  Sarah has encouraged me to step out of the shadows of my family business, kick imposter syndrome to the curb, clarify my role and take my business to the next level. Sarah has been more than a mentor, she’s my trusted non-judgementor and all round business fairy godmother! I can confidently say that without her support and transformative programs such as Digital Queen Masterminds and Blooming Biz Academy my family business wouldn’t be where it is today. I am truly grateful.
