Remember “Jab we Met” Get and Aditya, how healthy was their relationship?

How healthy is your relationship with Instagram? ⁠
⁠
🥵Feeling disheartened, frustrated or outright mad at this little app from time-to-time is normal.⁠
⁠
From changes to the algorithm to new features to the lack of absolute clarity on many things...⁠
⁠.. it's enough to drive any business owner crazy from time to time.⁠
⁠
However, there are certain things we can do to take back control.⁠💪
⁠
👉My favourite? Content planning.⁠
⁠
Why am I so taken with this? Because it's such an important and time-consuming part of marketing.⁠
⁠
🔄And it's all too easy to get trapped in the vicious cycle of posting on an ad-hoc, day-by-day basis. ⁠
⁠
When this happens long-term, it's not only extremely inefficient but it's also the quickest way to burn out.🥴⁠
⁠
Approaching your Instagram content marketing (and any content marketing for that matter) in this way leaves you far too emotionally invested in the outcome of individual posts.⁠
⁠
It **doesn't** matter if one post didn't get as much engagement as the last. What matters is that your posts are each serving a specific purpose, and that means that not every post will be a slam dunk for comments/saves/shares.⁠
⁠
👍That's ok.⁠
⁠
But it doesn't ~feel~ ok when you're pouring your heart, soul and time into posts one at a time.⁠
⁠
Take it from someone who was stuck in this cycle for the l-o-n-g-e-s-t time.⁠
⁠
So, tell me - are you more of a Geet or Aditya??⁠
⁠
P.s. I'm giving you the only system & tools you need to become a regular content planner inside my new program, launching in October 2021, DM me to get on the waitlist!😍⁠

Insta Stories are one of the best tools to convert your followers.⁠⁠But ONLY if your followers are used to seeing value from you.⁠⁠And when I say value, I'm not talking about tips and tricks or special offers.⁠⁠I'm talking about a well-told story.

And what does a well-told Story look like?⁠⁠

✔️ It has a beginning, middle & end⁠

✔️ It's succinct⁠

✔️ It encourages interaction with the viewer/reader/listener

⁠⁠It sounds so deliciously simple and yet too often Stories become an after-thought. ⁠⁠A dumping ground for random posts we like (from others) or a selection of unrelated photos we've captured throughout our day.⁠⁠

YES Stories can and should be less polished than the grid. 100%. ⁠⁠But if you want to get the most out of them, it's still important to consider their structure.⁠⁠And the single best way to do this, is to start outlining (roughly) your Stories before you share them.⁠⁠

👇Do you ever outline your Instagram Stories?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Ever felt that you are at a contradiction with your own nature?😵

"Too much, but not enough at the same time. Jack of all trades, master of none. If I have to choose one, I will fail at both. You have to remember that you are exponential- all along.

You are magnified at your skill😎 You just need to remember that you have the power to yourself, you are greater than your complications.

So tell me, what would you do, if you never feared failure or rejections? ❤

Size matters?

We focus so much on growing our followers, but honestly, apart from having a SWIPE UP feature, 10k followers is pretty much superficial.

Instead of focusing so much on growing our followers, here are 3 benefits of having a smaller account:

✌️ EASIER TO CONNECT- It's much easier to connect with new followers, reply to DMs and comments when you have a small following.

✌️ HIGHER ENGAGEMENT- Your engagement goes down when you have a large following. So with fewer followers, it's easy to have a better engagement.

✌️ EXPERIMENTAL- It's easy to be authentic and experiment with different niche and industries when you have a small account, and that helps you discover what your audience really wants.

I love where your account is right now, because you can focus on each and every individual. Just remember, don't take your small account for granted❤

What do you think about your account? let me know in the comment section 👇

Everyone needs a social media strategy... especially if you're wanting to grow your account on social media! 🚨

Long gone are the days when you could post a selfie with an emoji in the caption and get high engagement!

The social media world is highly saturated, which means you need a strategy if you want your content to stand out.

Start by asking yourself a few of these questions:
✔️ What is my goal with social media?
✔️ Who am I trying to reach?
✔️ What does my brand look/sound like?
✔️ How much am I willing to invest?
✔️ What is my IC (Ideal Client or Audience) struggling with?

Very soon We're going to create your content pillars, content topics, and dive into how YOU can specifically create binge-able content that your audience loves! 🔗

Ok, now your turn...do you have a social media strategy in place? 👇



‘Click selfies and get likes’ is not a strategy, and yes, you need a STRATEGY to grow online!

Start that business
Buy that plane ticket
Enroll in that course
Quit that job
Jump on that exercise plan
Get out of that relationship
Ask that person on a date
Make that phone call
Go on a   Date⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life is too short to wonder ‘what if?’ Taking risks is scary AF. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..But do you know what’s scarier? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Living a life UNFULFILLED. A life of regret... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The thought of that makes me sick to the stomach. I never want to look back and wish.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..Some people call me crazy for taking such extreme action:

👉🏼Quitting my corporate job at 
👉🏼Leaving the UK at 25, when every Indian Dreams of living in the UK
👉🏼Going it alone at such a young age
👉🏼 Choosing to not marry and “settle down” cause I have an empire to build. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But you know what... I’m so glad I did each one of those things. The biggest rewards lay on the other side of the biggest risks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you fail... you’ll learn.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you’re already where you ‘don’t want to be’ by not trying. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..because if you fail, you’ll just end up where you are right now. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the other side of fear is FREEDOM.

What are you taking action on? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Chicken soup for the Business Women Soul.😇

Giving you a peek into who Aakanksha is- a Petroleum Engineer Entrepreneur, a social worker, an IG Business Coach, a Bollywood 👯‍♀️enthu, a perfectionist?

Here's a story- I'm launching a Masterclass Series “Insta Roadmap MasterClass”- for women like you and me, determined to grow a steady income from our kitchens to our offices, but do you know I haven’t even started it! Shocking?

And it might be disturbing for you to think “why should I invest in a coach who doesn’t have time to create her own ‘dream project’?”

I am a (DSIC Personality Type) S Personality or Rachel (High 🙌if you are a FRIENDS fan): Rachel is all about her friends and relationships. She is caring and loyal to the people she knows. That’s why she was so attracted to Ross when she discovered what he was willing to do for her when her prom date didn’t show up. But don’t betray that trust by doing something like meeting another girl, even if you are “on a break.” No wonder why Ross could never get back in her good graces, "break" or not!

Now you are wondering why am I telling you that the “perfectionist” me is “not prepared”, cause that’s exactly how I am. I work under pressure, stress & often last minute. I make my decisions on my ❤️call and not what my logical “Ivy League graduate” brain says…(notice how slyly vain I am, Oh god I am such a Rachel Green :D)

This post is just for me to be candid and honest to my audience that “You Do You Boo”. I was feeling like an imposter for not being prepared and also cause a colleague had once told me that “You can’t work from a kitchen or by following your love across the country”. And I just said… “no uterus, no opinion” so ladies, LAUNCH nevertheless, launch the content that makes you happy, launch the content that reminds you how you worked on it on a kitchen shelf while you cooked for your baby… LAUNCH and let it tank cause the next one will be better and if not there is another one…

LAUNCHING IN 48 HOURS-MY DREAM PROJECT “ INSTA ROADMAP MASTERCLASS” from my holiday with “Ross” (just two imperfect souls)
