So it's been crazy. I was manifesting it. 88 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 2: So I'm like Oh, I never dreamed that this could happen, 89 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 2: but I'm still blown away at how fast it happened. 90 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: That honestly, that is wild. 91 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: And I honestly just want to pick your brain about 92 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: the growth because I feel like we aren't a day 93 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: and age where it is quite difficult to grow your 94 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: account because of the saturation. And often I will get, 95 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: you know, questions from people being like, you know, I'm 96 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: a content creator, how do I grow my account?

Did your goals change when 155 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 3: you did the project or was there any sort of 156 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 3: pivotal movement where you had like an aha moment, if 157 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: that makes sense. Yeah. 158 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: Look, I was always pretty clear from when I started 159 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: it because I have been working on my instagramcount for 160 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: so long, Like that was always really front of mine 161 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: for me when I started. But I did find it 162 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 2: really helpful because it allowed me to get really clear 163 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: on like my dream life and like bigger goals in 164 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: the first couple of modules, because I think when I 165 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 2: first started it and you were like, I want you 166 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: to picture like your whole life. It's very holistic, which 167 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting. I was like, no, I want like 168 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: this one specific thing and so and then you're like, no, 169 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: like think about all these different aspects of your life. 170 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 2: And so that was really expansive for me, and that's 171 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: probably what changed in terms of my focus. But I 172 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: definitely was still clear that I was like, no, I 173 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 2: want one hundred thousand Instagram holds, but it definitely helped me. 174 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: It definitely was helpful. 175 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: Though. Yeah, I totally get what you mean, and that's 176 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: it is quite important because obviously you want to have, 177 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 3: you know, your specific desires, but then also yeah, just 178 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: like dreaming a little bit bigger, it almost can give 179 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: some I guess signs and guidance to the universe on 180 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 3: if your specific desire, you know, I say, quote unquote 181 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: doesn't work out because you know everything is always working 182 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 3: out for us, but it just gives it a bit 183 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: of guidance on like how you want to feel, what 184 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 3: your life wants to be like, because you know things 185 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: can come in completely different ways. But I love that 186 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 3: you had a specific goal and you're like, no, I 187 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: want followers and it's going to happen. Yeah, that's amazing 188 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: and okay, well let's get into it. Can you tell 189 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: everyone like how you finally hit that one hundred k 190 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: followers on ig and really, what was the guided steps? 191 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: What was the action you took? 192 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: So one of the key things about Instagram growth and 193 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 2: in terms of the steps that felt really right to 194 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: me at the moment. Obviously Instagram is copying TikTok and 195 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: there's a big push towards video content. So video content 196 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: became all of my energy. I think before I have 197 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: been posting very mixed things as well, So I got 198 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: really specific on a niche I just do recipes now 199 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: on video and don't do anything else, because before I 200 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: was posting about like a new vegan restaurant opening or 201 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: like I don't know, like some other vegan product or 202 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: like you know, tips or like a restaurant or something. 203 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: And it was just too all over the place, even 204 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: though at the time I was like, oh, well it's 205 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 2: all under the vegan niche, so it's all related, but 206 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 2: in reality, it wasn't specific enough so that when somebody 207 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: who's a cold audience who comes to your page, they 208 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: can't exactly tell what they're getting out of your page. 209 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: So that's why I found that I wasn't one my 210 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: reels weren't going viral, and two why I wasn't getting 211 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: more followers. And yeah, I guess one of the things 212 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: that I learned while I was reflecting on things while 213 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 2: I was doing the course was it's like, you have 214 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: to give really strong value every single reel and it's 215 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: going to somebody who doesn't know you, so you have 216 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: to think, like would a stranger care about this? Are 217 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: they getting something out of it? 218 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: So you heavily focused on reels. Is that correct? 219 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? Totally? And I also think I remember you describing 220 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: in the project as well, like there was this story 221 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: about a woman who she was like a successful CEO 222 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: or something. I think it's from like a self help 223 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: book or something like that. But she had decided she 224 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: wanted to meet the love of her life, and she 225 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: had a really clutter garage, and she made space in 226 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: her garage for like, you know, his car and his things, 227 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: and she would take herself on date nights because she's like, oh, 228 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: Fridays will be our date night or whatever. And I 229 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: kind of treated my account in the same way. I 230 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: was like, Okay, if you want to be an influencer 231 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: or like a foodie influencer who has one hundred thousand followers, like, 232 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: what do you think somebody like at that level would 233 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: be doing and what does that like look like compared 234 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: to what you're doing now? Do you know what I mean? 235 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: So I was really focused on trying to match that 236 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: energy level because I'm like, oh, well, they would probably 237 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,479 Speaker 2: take it quite seriously, and they would probably be posting regularly, 238 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: and they would be, you know, planning what recipes they're 239 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: going to make, and they'd be dedicating a decent amount 240 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: of time to it and stuff, whereas before I'd just 241 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: been very like, I don't know, like I'd fit it 242 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: in when I had the time, and then I just 243 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: wasn't really taking it seriously enough, and I think allowing 244 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: myself to like really get into the vibe of like 245 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand followers, like being a professional you know 246 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: quotation marks because it still like feels very new, but 247 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: like how would I be acting? And so I guess 248 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: I just showed up in the level that I wanted 249 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: to be at, do you know what I mean? 250 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 3: I love this so much, Liz, because I think it 251 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 3: is so underrated. This it's like this simple act of 252 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: like you said, if I had one hundred k followers, now, 253 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 3: how would I treat my account? Rather than going from 254 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: oh I am a micro influencer, I'm someone who's just 255 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: starting out and thinking of how do I do things 256 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 3: that way compared to you know, with my goals, my dreams, 257 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 3: if I was already there, how would I act? And 258 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: it kind of reminds me. I recently put out a 259 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 3: podcast it will be last week when this episode goes live, 260 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: and I spoke about this you know stage in my 261 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 3: life where I had quit my corporate job and I 262 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: wanted to do something bigger and better and I just 263 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: couldn't really figure out what it was. So I wasn't 264 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: like completely clear on it, and I wanted to invest 265 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 3: in a business coach could like help me get clarity 266 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: and just like help me get to that next level. 267 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: And the cost for the business coach was like super high. 268 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 3: But then I thought of in the way of, you know, 269 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 3: if I'm because my big goal was I wanted to 270 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: be a multi million dollar entrepreneur by the time I'm 271 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: twenty five, and I achieve that. But it's like, you know, 272 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 3: when I wasn't that that felt so big. This investment 273 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: felt so big, but I took I sorry, made the 274 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: decision in the way of if I was already at 275 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 3: that spot, would I think this is investment is big? 276 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 3: Would I like, what would I say to this opportunity 277 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: rather than saying, like thinking of it from the place 278 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: that I'm currently at. And I've kind of done that 279 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 3: a lot of my life, and it's it's almost like 280 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: you quantumlated into a person who has one hundred k 281 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: followers by acting as is, which is so underrated. It's 282 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: such a simple concept, but I think we just we 283 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 3: struggle to actually sometimes do it because it does feel 284 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 3: a little bit far away. So what are some things 285 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 3: that you started doing that you're like, well, I'm you know, 286 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 3: I'm someone who has a big community, who has a 287 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: big following. How did you start acting as is? 288 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well one of the biggest things was also, like, 289 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: it's surrounding your like self. And I say this because 290 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: it can be virtual obviously, but like surrounding yourself with 291 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: people who inspire you and who are acting and at 292 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: that level that you want to be at, and you 293 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: obviously being one of those people just listening to the 294 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: podcast and also listening to other people who inspire me too, 295 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: who have large communities as well, not necessarily food related, 296 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: but that was one big tip that I took away 297 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: as well from the course too. If you want to 298 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: be at a certain level and it's like, you know, 299 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: the people around you, maybe they're not doing the same 300 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: thing that you want to do, or you know, they're 301 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: just living a different I guess pathway, then it's like, fine, 302 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: people who've done what you want to do, and like 303 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: be around them. But some other things that I did too, 304 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: like I started saying to myself, Okay, well, like you 305 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 2: need to make some time in your life for this 306 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: to happen, you know. So I was like, okay, well, 307 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: three of my evenings after work now, like I'm going 308 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: to be focusing on like my blog and getting my 309 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: website refreshed. That was a big thing for me too, 310 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: and making sure that I was also dedicating some time 311 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: for reflection and like I would be going for like 312 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: walks like Georgie every bloody day.

Not a minute 320 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: was wasted, trust me, Liz. 321 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: It's like I will get the most out of this 322 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: course ever. 323 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. And to be honest, like one of the 324 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: other things as well, like in that showing up and 325 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: like the changes that I made a bit, it was 326 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 2: it took a lot of work, like and a lot 327 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: of reflection to see myself as somebody who was capable 328 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 2: of having what I wanted, do you know what I mean? 329 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: Like I never thought that I had any feelings of 330 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: like unworthiness. But when I dug a little deeper and 331 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: like the questions and the prompts and the course encourage 332 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 2: you to do this, I was like, fuck, I really don't, like, like, 333 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm good enough to do this. 334 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: So I started like looking to other people who've done 335 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 2: what I wanted to do, and I was like, okay, 336 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: you can do this.

So yeah, that's kind of what it is. 338 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 3: That's that's such a great point, Liz, because I think 339 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: a lot of people, you know, they have these big 340 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 3: goals and desires and they're like, of course I deserve them. 341 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 3: Of course, I you know, feel worthy. I would love 342 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 3: to have a million dollars or I'd love to have 343 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand followers. But until you actually sit down 344 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 3: and you do the journal prompts, you listen to the meditation, 345 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,959 Speaker 3: and then like a thought will pop up where you 346 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 3: don't feel worthy and it feels like who am I 347 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 3: to have a community this big? Like who am I 348 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: to go and live their dreams? Where you know, there's 349 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: so many other people who are like who am I 350 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 3: to do this? And it's funny because the little voice 351 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 3: pops up and then it's almost like it like I 352 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 3: love this moment because it's an our half moment to go. 353 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 3: I've found it. Here is the awareness of what's blocking 354 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: me because it, like you know, from the cours is like, 355 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 3: if you do have a block, if you do have 356 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: a limiting belief, there is no way that you're going 357 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 3: to achieve that thing. It simply will not be attracted to. 358 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: But a lot of the time our you know, blocks 359 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 3: and limiting beliefs, we just we haven't dug deep enough 360 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: and we've just surfaced of al gone. Of course I 361 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 3: deserve this. I'm ready to attract. Whereas you do have 362 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 3: to do the inner work. You do have to do 363 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 3: the shadow work and kind of get in there and 364 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 3: be like, yeah, I didn't think I had any issues 365 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 3: on this, but I am hearing a little voice. Did 366 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 3: you have any other like limiting beliefs that came up 367 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 3: for you? Oh? 368 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 2: My god, so many, which is kind of sad at 369 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: the start, and like and you say this as well, 370 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 2: like you're like it can be a bit heavy at 371 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: the start because you're like, oh my god, is this 372 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: really what you think of yourself? Like I'm like, no, no, 373 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 2: but it's so important to work through them. Yeah, So 374 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 2: the biggest one was like I'm not worthy, I'm not 375 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 2: good enough for me in particular because I'm sharing food 376 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, making recipes. I was like, 377 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: you know, why should I a home cook, like who 378 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 2: really didn't get into cooking until like a couple of 379 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,239 Speaker 2: years ago. Why should anybody follow me? Because there are 380 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 2: chefs out there have been on Master Chef who are famous, 381 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: you know, in like their own right, who don't have 382 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 2: a big following, So why would people follow me? And 383 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 2: then one of the things that I did to actually 384 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 2: break that limiting belief down was like, you know, you 385 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: always encourage us to like challenge those limiting beliefs. And 386 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 2: I was like, well, you know, are my like followers 387 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: or the people who are going to follow me are 388 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: they chefs? And it's like, well, probably not no. And 389 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 2: it's like, well, do you think that they would enjoy 390 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: simple recipes that they can make themselves that aren't intimidating 391 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: that you know that somebody who's relatable has made. And 392 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: I was like yes, like you know what I mean. 393 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: So then I sort of like start questioning it. And 394 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: that's kind of how I got through that one because 395 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 2: I was like, just because it's not fancy food, and 396 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: just because it's not like, you know, the most like 397 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: I don't know, impressive culinary creations doesn't mean that it 398 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,959 Speaker 2: doesn't have value and that people wouldn't want to follow, 399 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: you know along. Basically I love that so much. 400 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 3: And it's funny, isn't it, Because you know, initially we 401 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 3: have the limiting belief and we have a thought, and 402 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: it just it feels so concrete. It feels so there's 403 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: so many other people. There's literally people and Master Chef 404 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 3: who have you know, less followers than that. Why would 405 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 3: I ever you know, gain a community? Blah blah blah. 406 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 3: But then you start unpacking it and then you start 407 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 3: like realizing how silly these limiting beliefs that literally can 408 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 3: hold us back from like creating our dream lives are 409 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my god, and it is It's 410 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 3: like so I always say, like week two of the 411 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: project is it's a bit sad, it's a bit heavy 412 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 3: because it's like silly stuff that once you unpack you're like, 413 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: fuck that, Like why am I letting that stop me? 414 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? Totally. And it's like it's not until you start 415 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: writing them all down and that you're like, oh, fuck, 416 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: there's a lot, aren't there. You start putting them on 417 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: paper and I'm like, oh my god, and I'm like 418 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: this is not true. But like the things that I've 419 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: told myself, and you shared one too, which I could 420 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 2: totally relate to, which was like when you were working 421 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: full time as a lawyer and then you were trying 422 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: to do you know, like your page was more about 423 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: fitness and stuff back then, but you were trying to 424 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 2: grow that and you were saying that, like the feeling 425 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: of scarcity with your time and not having enough time 426 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: was like triggering for you. And I just clearly remember 427 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: you telling this story where you were like Tim would 428 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 2: walk in the door after a day at work and 429 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 2: be like, oh, there's not enough hours in the day, 430 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 2: and then you like full cracked it. You'll like stop 431 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: saying that it's triggering me. And I just like, I 432 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 2: realize I say that to myself too, and I'm like 433 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 2: bitchy to stop saying that, Like there's enough time for 434 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: the things that are important. So that was a big 435 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: one as well. 436 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, isn't it funny because you're like, there's 437 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: enough time for my priority. So is this a priority 438 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 3: or is it not? And it's just like reframing the conversation. 439 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And I think as well, Look, if anybody 440 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: out there is trying to grow a social media presence, 441 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 2: like I understand as well, like reels do take a 442 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 2: lot of time, like and recipe reels as well, probably 443 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 2: some of the most time consuming content you can make, 444 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 2: and you've got to clean up your kitchen and blah 445 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: blah blah. But at the end of the day, like, 446 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 2: things can happen so quickly if you're taking like aligned 447 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: action and if you're just doing things that feel good 448 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 2: and that feel like they're the right step, do you 449 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 2: know what I mean? And I think when you get 450 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 2: really clear on things, time collapses. It took me two 451 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: and a half years to grow my following to like 452 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 2: around ten thousand before I started the course. I've literally 453 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: grown up by like ten times that in the space 454 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 2: of a few months. So although I did dedicate more 455 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 2: time and like I started showing up as more professional, 456 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 2: like as an influencer, Like you know, time becomes kind 457 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: of irrelevant when you're taking the right steps and when 458 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: you're feeling really inspired and passionate, is something I would 459 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: say to people as well who are like, I don't 460 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: have time, because yeah it things happen super quickly. 461 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: And I just want to like touch like peegerback off that, Liz, 462 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: because one hundred percent you summed that up so well, 463 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 3: like you quantum leaped. There is like I have no 464 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: doubt about it. Like you said, it took you two 465 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: and a half years to get to ten k, and 466 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 3: then you know, you started the project in March and 467 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 3: you got so clear on what you wanted where you 468 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: want to go. And then also a thing that just 469 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 3: keeps like popping into my mind is it's so clear 470 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 3: to me that energetically you were the right vibration for 471 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 3: your goals, whereas previously you weren't. Like you said, you 472 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 3: had to take a line action, you had to do 473 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: things like you did the work. There's no doubts about that. 474 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 3: It's not like you got handed anything.

So keep in mind 575 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: I'm in the food niche, so you might need to 576 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: like tweak these depending on what your niche is. But 577 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: one thing I would say is like be super specific 578 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: about who it is that you are trying to attract 579 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: and what value you are bringing to them. Oftentimes your 580 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,239 Speaker 2: ideal audience will look a lot like you. That's just 581 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: because you know they're going to relate better to you. 582 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: But get super clear on what it is you are offering, 583 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 2: and then get like really specific on like the types 584 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: of videos that you're going to do. For example, if 585 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: you know you want to do like I guess, motivational 586 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: tips or something like that. Or psychological kind of like 587 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 2: hacks and things like that. You know, just be really 588 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 2: clear on the format and the type of video that 589 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: you make. And honestly, I would suggest posting reels a 590 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 2: minimum of three times a week, and if you're on TikTok, 591 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 2: aim for like one a day. TikTok's like a secondary 592 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: platform for me, so like I don't focus on it 593 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: too much, but Instagram, you definitely want to post a 594 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: minimum of three a week. I really wouldn't worry about 595 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: photo posts. They don't do anything anymore. They're sort of 596 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: what I would regard as like nurture content. So like, 597 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 2: if you want to connect with your existing follower base, 598 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: you can post a photo. Sorry. Also, Georger, you may 599 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: have some opinions on this too, because like this is 600 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: very much your space, So just like tell me if 601 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: you think I'm wrong. 602 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 3: No, no, I love this, keep going. I'll definitely chime in. 603 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 3: But this is great, okay, cool? 604 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I actually did a course specifically for like 605 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: foody influencers, and there's this concept in that course which 606 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 2: is called like high impact content versus nurture content, and 607 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: I think you need to just be focusing a lot 608 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: on that high impact content, meaning content that has really 609 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 2: broad appeal, that has a clear take home message and 610 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 2: is for a cold audience. So whenever you create we 611 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: ate a video, think a total stranger, somebody who has 612 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: never met you before, doesn't give a shit about you, 613 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 2: no offense, like would they get anything out of this video? 614 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: And I think obviously, when you're in the food niche, 615 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: a recipe is a very clear way on the value 616 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 2: that you're giving someone because it's like a free recipe. 617 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: They're seeing how to make it. And if they then 618 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: click through to your page and you have that same 619 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: type of content over and over and over again, then 620 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 2: they're just like, oh, yeah, I follow I want more 621 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: of this. So that's a really big tip. There are 622 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 2: lots of other things you can do as well. Filming 623 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: a natural light obviously really important movement within the first 624 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: one point five seconds really important. You'll notice on TikTok 625 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 2: in particular, if anybody's doing like talk to the camera 626 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: kind of videos, you'll notice that they pan the camera 627 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: really quickly towards them, just because it's that eye catching movement. 628 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: Bright colors can help having a hook to your video. 629 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 2: So there's loads and loads of things that you can do, 630 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 2: but actually, yeah, I think video content is the most 631 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 2: important thing that you can do. 632 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's actually I love that you mention that, because 633 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: that's something I've been doing in my reels lately. Is 634 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 3: I wear a very specific what I'm wearing is like 635 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: usually bright and colorful, so it just like and I 636 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 3: know it's like that's so simple, but I just noticed 637 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 3: when I was like reflecting, and I think obviously that's 638 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 3: something you need to do with your content. Is I 639 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 3: just noticed the reels where it either starts with like 640 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 3: some sort of story video, so it's like meet Tim 641 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 3: and Ivy, you know, something like that, or if it's 642 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 3: just me, I've got to be in something that it's 643 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 3: like bright and eye catching. 644 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: You know what would be amazing as well for you 645 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 2: is will you already do these too?

I've noticed you get 648 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 2: amazing engagement on anything without Ivy in it as well. 649 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: People love a baby. 650 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 3: People and you know what, people also are obsessed with Tim. 651 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think as he's just like people are 652 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: probably trying to manifested Tim. I'm already married to manifest 653 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 2: that much. But I'm sure a lot of people are 654 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 2: manifesting a tim But. 655 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: I think because he's like so down to earth and 656 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: he's just like such like a blowkey bloke. It's just 657 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 3: and he's just like, you know, just so ordinary. I 658 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 3: don't know people. Yeah, I think it's anything that you know, 659 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 3: someone can like resonate with. But I loved that idea 660 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 3: that you said, especially if you're a new content creator, 661 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 3: like creating content, especially like you said, if you're doing 662 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 3: real as you're trying to get on the Explore page, 663 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 3: it's like creating content where when they come to that reel, 664 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 3: you're giving them value and thinking this person doesn't even 665 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: know me, and then thinking how am I going to impact? 666 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 3: How am I going to like want this person to 667 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: start following me totally? 668 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 2: And it really flips the script on its head of 669 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: where we've been with social media in the past. Instagram, 670 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: you know, just thinking about the app itself, it's made 671 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 2: an incredible amount of changes in the last couple of years. 672 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: Even so previously we're a really beautiful, like aesthetic feed 673 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 2: with like all of these like you know, filtered perfect images. 674 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: That's what would have grown a following. Now it's moving 675 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: more towards TikTok, which is very raw, unfiltered, and it's 676 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: hard for people to adapt to that and to accept that, 677 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: I think, particularly when Instagram was like a very heavily 678 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 2: photography focused platform originally, so I can see a lot 679 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 2: of content creator is actually struggling with this now. Who 680 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: it's a very different mindset, And I think if you're 681 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: starting out trying to grow a page, don't feel bad 682 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 2: or feel self conscious about not having very many followers, 683 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: and never feel silly or cringey about posting videos. Like 684 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: I used to feel like that at the start, and 685 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 2: I was too scared to put my face on the 686 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 2: like you know, on screen. It was not until I 687 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: started putting myself in my cooking videos that my account 688 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 2: took off. So like, it's so important to add personality, 689 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: and I think you've got to let go of like 690 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: the super esthetic kind of video and just be more 691 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 2: like real and authentic, which I know sounds like so 692 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 2: cringey and like and like it's like hard, but it's 693 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 2: true though, Like yeah. 694 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 3: No, it really is. It's like you know the whole 695 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 3: like the quote like you be yourself bit honestly, that's 696 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 3: what works. 697 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think even if you don't have a 698 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: like large following yet like just act as if, like, 699 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 2: even if your videos are only getting like twenty likes 700 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 2: or thirty likes or less whatever, four likes, I don't know, 701 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: just know, like you can go back and look at 702 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 2: my account if you want, scroll through my reels feed. 703 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 2: They were getting like fuck all views like before and 704 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 2: then suddenly like it just went, oh here's three hundred thousand, 705 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 2: here's one point seven million. I've had one that's got 706 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 2: to fifteen million views. You never know, so just post 707 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 2: it and don't overthink it. And just remember any company 708 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: can make and this particularly applies to food videos. Any 709 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 2: company can make a very professional, polished video. What they 710 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 2: can never do is replicate you as a human being, 711 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 2: and they can never take away the connection that you 712 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: have with your audience. And don't be afraid to share 713 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 2: your story, to tell a little bit about yourself, but 714 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 2: of course always adding value every single time. So for example, 715 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 2: one of the recipe videos that I did, which was 716 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 2: one of the ones which I got to a million views, 717 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 2: which wasn't the most views that I've had, but it 718 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 2: converted a lot of people to followers. It was a 719 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: video for a really basic yoga recipe and in the 720 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 2: video though on the audio, I said, you know how 721 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 2: what it was like when I first went vegan and 722 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 2: I was wanting, like I was struggling, like with how 723 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 2: I could make substitutes at home and knowing what to buy. 724 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: And I think that just connected with people. It's like, 725 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 2: how can you tell a little bit of your story 726 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 2: and add a little bit of your personality but still 727 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 2: focusing on giving values. So it's a challenge always as well, 728 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 2: like try and open with a hook, like some really 729 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 2: good basic ones would be like does anybody else don't 730 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: you hate it? When I mean everybody always does that 731 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 2: put a finger down ones too, But any kind of 732 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 2: hook that you can add as well just to catch 733 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,479 Speaker 2: people's attention is really important for that first one point 734 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 2: five seconds. 735 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 3: I love that. And I think something else, like with content, 736 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 3: is whatever you're vibing, whatever you're feeling into, whatever like 737 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 3: feels good to you. Don't try and like copy other 738 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 3: people because it's just not going to get you far. 739 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 3: Because people like they follow you for a reason, They 740 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 3: follow you for you, And I know you just touched 741 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 3: on that list, but it's like, don't try and copy 742 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 3: what other people are doing, Like, feel decide what what 743 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 3: do you want to talk about, what are you passionate about, 744 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 3: and then what content do you want to make that 745 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 3: feel really good for you, rather than like what you 746 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 3: think you should do. 747 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Yes, I could not agree more. And 748 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 2: I know it's tempting because there's so many trending audios 749 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 2: going around, you know, like everybody doing the same thing, 750 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 2: and it's like, it's fine to move to a trend, 751 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 2: but add your own twist on it, like don't just 752 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: word for word, And yeah, you're right. It's really hard, 753 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 2: particularly when you're starting out, to have the confidence to 754 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 2: do something a little different and to think about what 755 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 2: it is you really want to share, because you do 756 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 2: look around and you're like, oh, that person's getting so 757 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 2: many views, Like there's a lot of comparison itis, you 758 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 2: know what I mean within the influencer community and people 759 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 2: being like, oh, maybe I should do that, like why 760 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 2: did she get so many views? Try to stay away 761 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 2: from that, And yeah, I would encourage everybody to spend 762 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 2: some time on TikTok too, because I think it just 763 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 2: proves on there that whether or not like whatever it 764 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 2: is about you that makes you different or your perceived 765 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 2: flaws that can actually be a strength and just lean 766 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 2: into it. Like there are people on TikTok who are 767 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 2: doing the most amazing content like disability awareness, people from 768 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 2: all different backgrounds and walks of life, and they're gaining 769 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: huge followings because they're just being themselves and people see 770 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 2: a little bit of themselves in them. So it's hard, 771 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 2: but don't be afraid to share your story and to 772 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 2: share your own ideas and your own content. 773 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 3: Love well, Liz, it has been an absolute pleasure to 774 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 3: chat to you. I feel like we could chat all day, Honestly, 775 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 3: I just like, I'm enjoying your vibe so much. Do 776 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 3: you want to just kind of tell the audience how 777 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 3: you felt previous to signing up to the CRNC project 778 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 3: and then how you feel now and what that change 779 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 3: looked like. 780 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just felt like I lack clarity before I 781 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 2: started the Rise and Conker project, and I just felt 782 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 2: frustrated as well, and just like really stuck, I guess, 783 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 2: and now I've manifested. You know, my first goal. My 784 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 2: next goal is that I want to you know, it's 785 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 2: an income goal, so that's what I'm going to be 786 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 2: focusing on next. And I guess the main thing that 787 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 2: I feel now or the difference in my mindset is 788 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 2: that that doesn't intimidate me anymore. Like I think before 789 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 2: the rise of Conker Project, I would have been like, oh, 790 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 2: like stressy, being like, how are you ever going to 791 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 2: like hit like you know, I want to hit like 792 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 2: six k months now from my influencer income. I'm like, 793 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,919 Speaker 2: that's never going to happen. And I'd be like looking 794 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 2: at all of the little jobs that I'll be getting, 795 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 2: like adding it up and being like, you know, Scrooge 796 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 2: basically like trying to add it up. But now I'm like, 797 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 2: of course that'll happen. Focus your energy on it, Go 798 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 2: do the work, see what the blocks are, have a 799 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 2: think about it, reflect and it'll come.
