@Precious4Impact I listed out the things that were limiting me, and keeping me stuck it can just be something about people pleasing, do I please people? Why am I pleasing people to feel okay
So I know it definitely has to go for me to grow.
Unlearning is a skill tbh but we have to let go
To me,
Self-development is mostly unlearning.
Unlearning the habits that once carried you at some certain period of your life but needs to go because you are growing✍️
I have a list I am currently unlearning, but it feels uncomfortable because it removes familiarity.
@dickiebush I learnt this the hard way
Now I don’t set too many goals, I just stick to what is necessary in the stage I am currently in so I can stay focused.
Designing is one thing, presenting your design and presenting it well is what sets you apart.
Present you work in realistic, real-world scenarios using mockups. It'll make the difference.
Most times, clients wants you to be the face of their brand but one thing they do not know is nobody can tell your story like you.
To tell your story, you do not need to master any script.
So, you need to show up and collaborate with the SMM not dump the work on them.
Most business owners think hiring a social media manager means they can disappear completely.
Hand over the password.
Go quiet.
And expect magic.
That is not how this works.
This is Kim Kardashian, someone running a multi-million dollar business, saying you must have time for social media in this age. You need to know what is going out on your page. You need to care. You need to be involved.
If you do not have time for social media right now, then honestly, do not start a brand. Because whether we like it or not, social media is not optional anymore.
Yes, TikTok is hard.
Yes, figuring content out can feel overwhelming.
Yes, being on camera is uncomfortable for a lot of people.
But your social media manager is not a magician.
If you want results, you need to contribute.
You need to share your ideas.
You need to show up on camera when needed.
You need to send content if your manager is not physically with you.
You need to work with your social media manager, not dump everything on them.
Your brand’s success is not fully dependent on social media, but your visibility is. And visibility matters, especially when you are not yet well known.
Think of it like this.
If you opened physical stores but refused to show up, promote them, or tell people where they are, would you expect sales?
Exactly.
Social media is your digital storefront.
And your social media manager can only do their best work when you are actually involved.
Save this if you are a business owner.
Send this to someone who thinks outsourcing means switching off.
I’m choosing to get things done instead of overthinking perfection.
And I’m choosing consistency even on days it feels boring.
This is me unlearning fear and relearning confidence and becoming the woman of my dreams.
What are you choosing for yourself this year?
In 2026, I’m choosing differently.
I’m choosing to be audacious instead of waiting to feel ready.
I’m choosing to say no so I don’t lose myself trying to please everyone.
I’m choosing to put myself out there because opportunities don’t find hidden people.
