The Pre Planning Party
Party Favors
A Little PSA:
Before we get started I need you to extend grace to yourself. For a hot minute you may or may not have been just taking a photo and throwing stuff up on the social and called it a day. & even though this is not a good habit, it is still a habit we have created, so we will extend grace to ourselves as we break old bad habits and trade them for consistent habits that will build our brand and businesses in the best way forward.
Before the pre planning party gets started let me also get on my SOAP BOX!
The things we are about to chat about are going to set us up for success. & let me tell you not only are you worth it, but so is your brand/business. Do not buy pass this part actually put in the effort! Start out strong & finish strong!
Now let's get this pre planning party started!
Schedule Time Out
When scheduling time out to create content, it is going to look differently for everyone, so do not let this stress you out. It might take you once a month or more to create content for your brand or business, so do what works best for you and your brand/business.
Release distractions
You have already set time aside to create content. The last thing you need is a lot of distractions. Once you get in that creating mode it will be hard to get out of it, so go ahead and set all distractions aside. For me this looks like not creating content at my desk. In fact I actually created the content in the next video on the floor of my office, so I could spread everything out. However, some months this looks like for me grabbing all my things & heading to our local coffee shop & listening to my favorite music, while creating.
Gather All Your Things
You will want to go ahead and grab your content calendar as well as your personal calendar. I am still a planner person, so I will actually take my content calendar, planner and/or my computer and phone that way if I need to look anything up I have access to do so … BUT … do NOT get distracted. Use your time wisely.
