Social media. Love it or loathe it, it’s kinda a must-have for business these days. But what if the thought of showing up online makes you cringe? If posting feels forced, salesy, or just plain exhausting, you’re not alone. The good news? You can make social media work for you without feeling gross about it. Ditch the ‘ick’ and start showing up in a way that feels good. Step 1: Curate Your Feed Like a Pro If scrolling social media makes you roll your eyes more than it sparks inspiration, it’s time for a clean-up. Unfollow accounts that drain you. Mute the noise. Train the magical algorithm to bring you content that actually makes you smile, think, or create. Your social feed should feel like a place you want to hang out, not a chaotic mess of ‘buy this now!’ posts and unedited AI-generated nonsense. Step 2: Notice What Grabs Your Attention What makes you stop scrolling? A relatable story? A joke? A behind-the-scenes peek at someone’s life? Chances are, the content you enjoy most is real, engaging, and human. And guess what? That’s exactly what your audience wants from you, too. Use that insight to guide what you post—think less “marketing” and more “conversation.” Step 3: Show Up as You Your business isn't just about what you sell—it's about who you are. People want to connect with real humans, not faceless brands. So, stop overthinking. Ditch the perfectly polished, corporate-sounding captions. Share your thoughts, your experiences, your wins (and even your flops). The right people will love it—and they’ll love working with you because of it. Social media doesn’t have to feel icky. When you show up as yourself, tell your stories, and connect in a way that feels natural, you’ll attract people who get you. And if someone doesn’t? They can scroll right on by. A HUGE thank you for listening to No Grey Suits. I really do appreciate you spending some time with me, and hope you got some shiny nuggets of gold, or at least silver out of it. 🦖 Website: https://nogreysuits.com.au 🦩 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nogreysuits 🐧 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/no.grey.suits/ 🦭 Grab your free Camera Confidence Guide…

Networking Tips with Kirri from Captured by Kirri 18:29

24 weeks ago18:29

Networking IRL can feel intimidating, especially for introverts. But you're not alone in that. I recently chatted with Kirri, the amazing photographer behind Captured by Kirri, who shared her story and some brilliant networking tips. Kirri shared how she went from introvert to thriving in networking circles. Her secret? Shifting her focus to helping others, not just promoting herself. This mindset makes the whole experience less about 'selling' and more about building genuine connections. Kirri's advice? Don't start with business cards. Jumping straight to handing them out can feel transactional. Instead, prioritise real conversations—let the cards come naturally after you've made a genuine connection. We reminisced about how networking groups aren’t just for business—they're great for finding support and building friendships. For solopreneurs or those working from home, this sense of community can be a lifeline. Kirri’s Top Networking Tips Show Up : The hardest part is often walking in the door. Start there. It gets easier with practice. Do Your Homework : Check the guest list beforehand and reach out to familiar faces or people you'd like to meet. Buddy Up : Bring someone for moral support—it doesn’t have to be a business contact. Find Your Vibe : Not all events will suit you. Explore different groups until you find one that clicks. Like parenting, Kirri says, networking feels scary at first but gets easier with time. Start small—one event, one connection. You'll soon find your rhythm. For those whose businesses grew during COVID’s virtual boom, face-to-face networking can be a game-changer. Kirri’s advice is simple: prepare, take a breath, and give it a go. 00:00 Introduction to Kirri and Networking 01:16 Kirri's Journey from Introvert to Networking Pro 02:25 Networking Strategies and Pitfalls 03:39 Impact of COVID on Networking 06:41 Technical Issues and Husky Talk 08:52 Top Tips for Small Business Networking 11:10 Choosing the Right Networking Group 17:11 Final Thoughts and Wrap-Up Links Captured by Kirri: https://www.capturedbykirri.com.au/ Kirri at BNI Networking Instagram A HUGE thank you for listening to No Grey Suits.
