The Awakening by Ashton

Are your customers *connecting* with your brand? 🤔

Imagine you’re scrolling through your Explore Page, and you come across a really enticing quote graphic. It’s punchy, spicy, and you totally vibe with it.

📲So you click over to their page and give them a follow.

Over the next few weeks, they continue to share punchy quote graphics that you find yourself nodding your head to and finding totally relatable.

You keep following along. You may interact with their content, liking and commenting on posts. You may even give their content a share a time or two!

But if their content never goes deeper than those viral quote graphics, your relationship with this brand will never progress.👀

➡️Viral content exists to reach the masses.

It’s entertaining.
It’s relatable to a large volume of people.
It’s quick and easy to consume.

It serves its purpose well, but viral content will never serve the purpose of *truly* nurturing and deepening relationships with your audience members.

🔸Your content has to go deeper.🔸

As you reach more and more people, how are you going beyond entertainment and a quick head nod to true relationships? This is where we have to go beyond the surface, dig deeper, and foster true connection. Think about what allows you to form a bond with a brand:

It may be their personal journey or story
It may be content that gives you a breakthrough
It may be something that shifts your perspective

No matter what, it’s going to be something of DEPTH and SUBSTANCE that creates a bridge to true connection - not viral trends.

A friendly reminder for our fellow creative entrepreneurs 💌🔥

It’s about time that we pave the way for a different form of creating in the online space. One where we break OUT of the molds, the trends, the “should’s,” and the dreaded attempt to serve the algorithm.

You aren’t here to serve the algorithm. It’s here to serve you, sis. 👀☕️

Think about it. 👉 The algorithm by nature is designed to categorize content in order to serve up what you like on a silver platter (and psstttt it’s doing the same exact thing for your audience). It actually needs YOU (and your content) in order to succeed.

And despite what the gurus tell you, one of the best ways to thrive in this space and reach your people is by:

🔸Harnessing your voice.
🔸Leveraging your creativity.
🔸Unleashing your signature sound.

The more specific, potent, and unique your content is, the easier it will be for the algorithm to categorize it accordingly and get it in front of your ideal audience members.

Not only that, but you’re going to experience a whole new level of JOY and FULFILLMENT in the creative process again.✨

Imagine creating without restraint.
Without borders.
Without fear of “will this get in front of my people?”

This is your permission slip to let the algorithm serve you. To stop resisting your own voice and creativity in order to “fit in.” To unleash your innovation in a way that you haven’t in a very long time.

This is what we’re doing with our community inside of Vivid Creative.

🙏We believe that your creative liberation has a direct impact on your financial liberation. The two are not separate entities but direction correlated.

And the more you can harness your signature sound, the more you will thrive energetically and financially in your business.💃🔥

⚡It’s time for a CHANGE.⚡

Have you ever caught yourself wondering…

🤔How do I hack the Instagram algorithm?
🤔What trends should I follow to boost views?
🤔How do I get in front of more, more, more people?

While social media is a great tool to help us grow our businesses, it can also make us worry about numbers that don’t matter as much as we *think* they do.

And worrying about these metrics can lead us to create content SOLELY for the sake of “pleasing” the algorithm. For the sake of increasing views and reach and follower count.

Because we think THAT will drive more profit.📈

👉But the problem is: So many of us have fallen into this way of thinking and creating content that we’ve begun to lose our *originality* in the process…

🌊Resulting in a SEA of the SAME sort of content circulating around social media.🌊

It’s time that we THINK DIFFERENT about how we’re running our businesses online.

Our incredible Creative Director, , is joining us on The Awakening Blog to share her insights on adjustments you can make to your social media strategy to drive more organic growth for your business.

And this one’s SPICY so get ready… 👀🌶️🔥

Money without stability + sustainability means NOTHING ❌

When we say “I want more money,” often what we actually mean is “I want more FREEDOM.”

And if we peel back the layers, money is simply a TOOL to help us get there.

Making a lot of money (despite what we may believe) isn’t what TRULY fulfills us. What it boils down to is 👉 money provides us with options.

The OPTION to…
✨Spend our time how we’d like to.
✨Go on more vacations.
✨Spend time with our family.
✨Do more of what lights us up in our work.
✨Buy a nice home or car.

Having more options makes our life feel spacious. It makes us feel safe. And it ultimately makes us feel FREE.

But it isn’t just money that provides us with those options. It’s a *business* generating money that’s stable, scalable, and sustainable.

💭Imagine with me for a moment:

Susie enters a busy, high-momentum season in her business. She’s wildly in demand and acquiring customers left and right, which results in a $40k month. She’s astounded and excited. But as she enters the next month, she realizes her momentum is drying up and she doesn’t have the infrastructure to sustain the clientele she acquired. Her revenue dips to $4k.

💭Now, let’s envision a different scenario.

Mallory has been establishing solid foundations for her business month over month. With solid structures in place for acquisition, retention, and client experience, she hits a $15k month. But she doesn’t stop there. She continues to hit a minimum of $15k months for the following 12 months putting her at $180,000 in revenue.

➡️Which would you rather be: Susie or Mallory?

Most of us would choose Mallory. Not only because of the money she was able to generate - but because of the STABILITY she has.

If you’re not only seeking an increase in your revenue but greater stability, scalability, and sustainability in your business, DM us the word STABLE. We have something to specifically support you in this area! 👀😍💃

🚨ATTN: Interrupting your flashy feed for an honest conversation on what REALLY matters in your business.

Who else is tired of flashy marketing that doesn’t provide context?

We’re raising our hand with you. 🙋‍♀️

Maybe it’s revenue milestones.
Launch numbers.
Team growth and size.
Projections.
Or even social media metrics.

Here’s the deal ➡️ Instagram is an illusion, and it will fool you if you let it. It will have you prioritizing things that don’t matter and chasing things you couldn’t care less about.

This is why it’s more important than EVER to be grounded in your vision, your mission, and your movement.

AND to be informed about what TRULY matters for your business. To name a few:

Profit > Revenue
Client Experience > Flashy Marketing
Sustainability > Fast Growth
Retention > Acquisition
Recurring Revenue > Cash Infusions
Alignment > $$$

We couldn’t care less about high revenue if your profit margins are tanking. We couldn’t care less about your flashy marketing if your product or service doesn’t powerfully serve your clients. And we certainly couldn’t care less about the $ you make if you’re not aligned and at peace.

👉Take this moment to ask yourself: “What really matters to me? What matters in my life? And what matters for my business?” Get CLEAR on that and let the illusions of Instagram fall away.

✨And bonus tip: If you’re a business owner sharing some of these metrics with your community, I encourage you to dig deeper and provide more context behind the metrics. Your community will be grateful and respect you more because of it!

I dare you.

Get out of your head and IN the work.

Shake off the fear of what they’ll think.

Lean on strategy less and release your creative expression more.

Fall madly in love with cultivating skill sets that enhance your artistry.

Be more bold and daring and finally GO “THERE.”

This is your year.

Big name companies know this…

How much money you make isn’t necessarily as important as HOW you make it?

For instance, if you make $500,000 but your operations are inefficient and your team is costing you thousands, you may be losing more than you’re making. 📉

If you make $700,000 in revenue but only profit $150,000, you are not at peak financial health.

If your company is a multi-million dollar corporation but you barely sleep, eat, or socialize, is that really the prime? 🤔

The online space has a way of glorifying the amount of $ people are making - but often these pieces of content lack MAJOR context such as:

How much $ are you taking home?
How much time are you working?
What does your team structure look like?
What do your expenses look like?
What is your quality of life?
Are you LIVING as much as you’re working?

Now more than ever, entrepreneurs are getting more and more particular about how they want to go about driving their revenue and building their businesses.

They are craving more than just the $.

They are desiring more peace, freedom, and JOY.

Maybe that takes shape in the form of greater passive income.
Product creation and development.
Scaling back on one-on-one clientele.
Saying “no” so they can say “yes” to more aligned opportunities.
Prioritizing business models that allow for time off.
Developing teams and communities that expand the business beyond them.

A new wave of entrepreneurship is here - one where you can have a business that is financially prosperous but rooted in deep peace, freedom, and fulfillment.

And that’s exactly what we’re creating inside of The Awakening Academy.

👉If you’re ready to structure your business for greater profit, scalability, and time freedom, this intimate group coaching program is for YOU. Our next cohort kicks off in March!
