How to Grow Your Business Without Social Media | Work and Play Podcast Feature

If there’s one thing I’m known for besides talking about money, it’s my decision to quit social media.

What started as a year-long break in 2017 has turned into a completely different way of doing business. Since replacing our Instagram traffic with long-form content, I’m able to put down my phone and be present with my family – all while doubling our revenue!

In this episode of Work and Play with Nancy Ray, Nancy and I share our experiences going social-media free. We talk about struggling with FOMO, managing your expectations, and the best marketing channels to grow your business without social media.

If you’re feeling stuck or like you “have” to be on Instagram to build a successful business, this conversation will be an eye-opener. There are a thousand ways to grow a business and social media is only one of them!

I truly believe that you can design a business around the life you want. Quitting social media may not be for everyone, but for me, the pros heavily outweighed the cons.
