Business:Entrepreneurship

One thing I love about being an entrepreneur is the fact that my business has kind of taken a life of its own at times.


I have landed lucrative email marketing projects because of the way that I write social media content, and I never anticipated those services falling into my lap.


I actually didn't even know that I would specialize in social media marketing when I first started my business. I started as a Virtual Assistant, but people kept reaching out to me for help with social media because they saw how well I was running my own.


Stepping into new avenues in my business hasn't always been easy though. Each time I am presented with something new, I have to take a moment and remind myself that I may feel slightly uncomfortable as I try something new, but I know the importance of trying something new. In being open to trying new things in my business, and knowing that I am venturing into the unknown, I have found time and time again that it takes my business to a new an exciting place almost every time.


I hope this episode inspires you to try new things in your business and encourages you not to allow fear to hold you back.


I would love to connect with you further on Instagram. Follow me at https://instagram.com/kristendawnsmith
