Networking vs. Social Media: Why Moms Should Focus on Connections
You know that feeling when you meet someone and you instantly ‘get’ each other.
Well, you NEED these ‘get each other’ relationships if you want to succeed in motherhood and business.
Seriously, this is not a NICE TO HAVE…this is a MUST HAVE!
Social media is great, but nothing can move you forward like networking.
And it’s the hot new thing.
Here are 4 ways to make meeting your new bestie easier.
And listen to the episode where I talk about…
- The real value of networking

Without feeling overwhelmed, how can you network effectively? - The strategic approach to networking
Make friends who really get what you’re about and help your business grow. What are some easy ways to connect with the right people?
Here are 4 ways to find your new business BFF.
1. Share your opinions on what you believe is broken or needs to be changed in your industry
You won’t find your new BFF by sharing what you do, you call them out by sharing what you wish you could change about the world.
PRO TIP: Stick to your industry so it sparks a conversation that shows your new bestie how you can help be part of the solution.
2. Post content on what you want to ‘normalize’.
There are things you don’t think are weird or crazy, call them out and your BFF will feel like you will accept her and not judge her.
PRO TIP: Brainstorm daily activities in your life/business where you feel judged or misunderstood. Your BFF will feel the same way.
3. Post a question asking for decision support on something in your business.
Whether it’s what image to use, what title to give an offer, what tool to buy, or what strategy to use for your particular personality, people want to give their opinions.
PRO TIP: This works great in Facebook Groups or Stories. Look for people who take the time to give a longer answer and ask to hop on a chat.
