As a floralpreneur in the age of social media it can be difficult to avoid the pitfalls of comparison, which is why it’s important to always remember, looks can be deceiving.
We had a thaw that made it feel like spring yesterday. I was pruning my salix chaenomeloides and remembering what it looked like last summer.
These ‘fantail pussy willow’, or Japanese pussy willow, create a beautiful piece of shade in my garden. #myvermontgarden
It looks like I might sit here with a lemonade after a hard day’s work, but in reality….
The bench is actually broken. AND….it happens to be located right next to my compost pile.
Trust me, I never sit on this bench.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing what you see when people only share the very best of themselves.
Don’t let yourself be easily fooled.
Pause before comparing yourself to a social media presence that’s perfectly curated. (There may be a compost pile just out of the frame.)
What people really want–what clients really appreciate–is authenticity and expertise.
Of course, you want your realness to be real, real beautiful work, as well, but letting people in on what your brand is “really about”, that’s where you truly let your uniqueness shine through….your ideal clients will be attracted to that beam of trueness….the real you.
Pro tip: Honing the voice of your brand happens in these little social media moments and especially through your blog posts.
