why October is really trying me already😂👇🏼

I started this month at 3,098 followers

now I’m at 3,080

EIGHTEEN people said, you know what… I’m good 😭😂

annddd old me would’ve taken that personally

refreshing my follower count like it was going to apologize and give me those people back

then wondering what I posted wrong OR I needed to change something in my account..

butt I have two toddlers, a full time teaching job, and an actual business to run

and I’m over here letting 18 unfollows ruin my mood? Be so for real, Steph 🫠

but then a digital product s@ le came through

52 s@ les now 🎉

I spent so much time worrying about how many people were following me

that I almost forgot to pay attention to what was actually happening in my business

people can unfollow
your numbers can dip
a post can get less views than you expected

none of that automatically means your business is failing

I would’ve let those 18 unfollows ruin my entire week a year ago

and today, I’m still building, still learning, and celebrating number 52 😂

I didn’t start this business to collect followers like Pokémon

and I’m learning to pay attention to the numbers that actually help me make better decisions

If you’ve been checking your follower count more than you’ve been checking what’s actually working in your business..

✨comment CHECK and I’ll share with you the exact content system that I’m following that helps me get s@ les even when I’m losing followers

💛 and if you’re new here, im Steph! Comment NEW and send you the details on how to get started with an online business!

Okay but losing followers and gaining a sale in the same week says a lot about which number actually matters

I never understand the unfollow thing, but I do believe you only need the “right” people to follow and care! 🌻
