I Do What I Feel Like Doing | Stacey Ciceron
Stayed up until 2 something this morning when I literally had to put myself to sleep. I learned a very amazing lesson about myself after getting soooo much accomplished in one night. The lesson I learned is... sometimes you have to do what you feel like doing and not always be logical. What I mean by that is I had prioritized my tasks in order of importance. I was challenged to have my first digital product together for my new online business by April 15th 2017. Seems like a simple challenge except that I am starting from scratch. Domain name, website, email, social platforms, logo design, blog, topic for the product, content, email marketing software, content for email marketing...etc. Not to mention the 4 new coaching clients I brought on(we'll have to chat about that another time! Lol) However, all I could think about was my own website and blog. Questions... once I create this product, where will the customers go to buy it? If they were to start researching me now, what would they find? Would it be consistent? I have also had this incessant need to display the "real" side of me. It's something I've been struggling with for the longest time. Especially since social media turned into a job agency. I wanted people to see the real me without jeopardizing the possibility of future work opportunities. It seems so silly. But I come from the old school when maintaining a professional image was super important. It's so hard for me to let go of those old ways. So I decided to create a platform where I can be just that...myself. At least until it doesn't matter to me anymore about what future clients are looking for. Even writing this now it seems ridiculous. But I'm comfortable with this idea I've come up with. Which brings me back to my initial lesson. I stayed up all night gatherings all of my old blog posts and categorizing them with hashtags. This made me feel so good. Looking at my old posts made me have deeper perspective on my journey which apparently I tried documenting at least three times including this one. I tailored the blog to reflect the real me. Each tab covers a different area of my life. It took hours to put together and there is still more to do. New bio pic, logo, new content and a fresh header. After finishing up with my blogging stuff, everything started to come together in my mind and became much clearer. I knew what I was going to do and where I was going to post what. Which was a big confusion. Solution:My personal non professional stuff will be on my "secretly stacey" platform(Instagram and blog) my professional stuff will continue to go on the original stacey ciceron platform and anything to do with business development for beauty pros will go onto my textured hair Professionals platform. Now that I got that off of my chest I transitioned into creating a landing page on my website for my new digital product(that I haven't created it yet) www.staceyciceron.com/textured-hair-professionals . Next I created a Facebook ad to advertise my free webinar(which I haven't created yet). From there I completely outlined my online course. I'm left to wonder if I had started with the online course, which I had no interest in working on at the moment, but was very important in terms of priority, would I have gotten all of these things accomplished? I really don't think so. I feel so proud myself and have such a sense of satisfaction. So from now on when I get those nudges I will follow them. They don't always make sense to you or people watching you but it's truly a gift from God! Amen
