Notes from Chris
Episode 1547
This listener hates the idea of using her Instagram or Facebook profile to share anything about her business. Do you have to use social to be successful? The answer is no!

Don’t get me wrong, I like using Facebook and Instagram, but I'm mostly a lurker who doesn't post much. Do I have to improve this skill? Is this just something I need to get over? Or is it possible to not have an active social presence but still grow your business? Any examples would be helpful."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
