Anyone else a hot mess with directions? I could ge

Anyone else a hot mess with directions? I could get lost on the way to the fridge! It’s true! I very rarely drive since I work at home and when I do go out, Jayson usually drives. So when I do have to go somewhere, I have to use GPS! ⁠
⁠
When Eben was little, I remember him telling me from his car seat (yes, we were lost!) "Mom, going in the car with you is always an adventure!" He thought it was hilarious that I would always get lost! Haha. ⁠
⁠
Direction in my career has been a winding road too! I went to school to eventually become a pharmacist. I got 2 years in and said, WHAT am I doing!? I'd hate this job! Haha. ⁠
⁠
20 years into my career as a digital marketer (WHICH I LOVE!) and I’m so thankful for this bit of advice I got early on: it’s impossible to know who you’ll be at 35 when you’re 18, so just enjoy the ride!⁠
⁠
Eben, my 20-year-old son, has followed a similar path as mine. He did 2 years as a computer science major and then realized he hated every second of it. He switched to philosophy/law and will be applying to law school soon! ⁠
⁠
I told him the same thing - you don't have to decide who/what you want to be when you're 18, enjoy school, learn as much as you can, try new things. As long as you stay true to your heart and what you love, you'll find the right direction. ⁠
⁠
What advice has helped point you in the right direction?

That project you’re about to start? Focus on the

That project you’re about to start? Focus on the process, not achieving perfection. ⁠
⁠
Here at Jennie Lyon Digital Marketing & Virtual Assistant Services, we embrace the messy because we’ve learned that many of our clients' big ideas have humble beginnings. We're always excited to take whatever they have, and help them polish it into something amazing!⁠
⁠
This week, we took the seed of an idea for a lead magnet and polished it into a funnel that is already bringing in leads! ⁠
⁠
I always tell my clients, they have to start somewhere and process over perfection is key. If you record a podcast 20 times until you think it's perfect, you have a great podcast but the rest of the day is gone! If you record your podcast once, have our team edit it, then you have a great podcast and about 7 more hours in your day! ⁠
⁠
How will you choose process over perfection today?

I’ll be frank… As a kid, I used to think I’d be a teacher when I grew up! Seriously, ask my sister - I made her play "school" with me all of the time! ⁠
⁠
Then, I realized how much I LOVED the internet, and digital marketing just made sense to me! ⁠
⁠
We’re all constantly rewriting our story, friend, and this is your reminder that you can rewrite your story, too. ⁠
⁠
The great part about life is you can be more than one thing too! ⁠
⁠
How has your story changed over the years?⁠
⁠

Can I ask a personal question? Have you started to go sour on your digital marketing? 🍋🍋🍋⁠
⁠
I get it! It’s not easy. That’s why I go out of my way to offer customized strategies and services that sell! ⁠
⁠
I know digital marketing can feel complicated, but I want to ensure you get the very best!⁠
⁠
I'm here to help you feel confident and 100% taken care of. You'll be sweet about your digital marketing in no time! Really! Ask me anything! 🍋🍋🍋

Hey friends, new and old! It’s about time we get to know each other better, and this time, it’s beverage-themed! I’ll go first.⁠
⁠
The first thing I drink when I wake up is a decaf cappuccino followed by another cup! Throughout the day, I sip on sparkling water! And once in a while an orange Crush! Haha. ⁠
⁠
There you have it! Did you learn something about me today? Now, tell me your go-to beverage... I’m waiting!

I need you to tell me something: What’s your sur

I need you to tell me something: What’s your surefire way to get a boost when your energy starts to lag on a hard day? ⁠
⁠
For me, it’s a power-packed smoothie for lunch! Works (just about) every time. And a break, I feel like even a small break gives me an immediate boost of energy! ⁠
⁠
In case the smoothie fails next time, what's yours?

Agree or disagree: Sometimes, we all get so wrapped up in our day-to-day lives that we forget to have fun! ⁠

I hope this encourages you to get more fun into your workdays! So, tell me: who needed to hear this today?

Let’s start this weekend off with a PUG and her flamingo! Haha! We love Noodles the Pug so dang much! ⁠
⁠
She is our little energizer bunny (even though she is 13!) She makes us laugh every single day and is the best snuggler out there! ⁠
⁠
So start this weekend like a Pug lounging by the pool, you deserve it! Happy Weekend!

ATTENTION: You’re doing GREAT today, friend! Whe

ATTENTION: You’re doing GREAT today, friend! Whenever I forget that I'm doing the best that I can, I remind myself of something one of my clients told me years ago. "This isn't brain surgery, it's digital marketing and we aren't perfect, we're human!"⁠
⁠
I try to remind myself that I can't always be perfect! Even though I really strive for it (which isn't healthy!) And that’s what I want to remind you of today, too! What’s something you remind yourself of on the bad days?

I’m gonna keep it real with you. I absolutely lo

I’m gonna keep it real with you. I absolutely love digital marketing and helping my clients grow their business (including with social media marketing!)⁠
⁠
But if I’m being honest, I have to admit that it’s not always a walk in the park. Like right now, there is someone impersonating me on IG - with the tag jeniielyonmarketing - and I can't for the life of me get it taken down! ⁠
⁠
And last week someone had stolen my entire website and changed my information/images out to their own! They even used my testimonials! I was able to get that taken down, but geez IG isn't helping me with this issue. ⁠
⁠
That's life and I just hit the reset button and keep going! Because you can't let anything get in the way of you and your passion!

If a contractor’s tools of the trade include a h

If a contractor’s tools of the trade include a hammer, tape measure, and a level, then my list would be a laptop, @teamwork project management, and @harvest time tracking! ⁠
⁠
I wouldn’t be able to survive life as a digital marketer without them, and I LOVE using these tools to keep everything super organized in my business! ⁠
⁠
My clients are truly the reason I jump out of bed every morning. I'm always excited to get to work!⁠
⁠
Tell me, what are three essential items that help you stand in your purpose in your life or business?

I discovered I was NOT cut out for corporate life!

I discovered I was NOT cut out for corporate life! Not unlike my Aspie son who was just let go from his first job because he was giving the boss feedback on how to improve! Haha. ⁠
⁠
That led to a long discussion of, "you can't start a job and immediately start telling everyone else how to improve, you have to wait until you've built some trust and shown that you know what you're doing and then come in with your ideas!" ⁠
⁠
My husband always teases me that the reason I'm so successful is that I'm great at telling other people what to do and like to share my ideas with everyone! Haha. It helps that I invested in myself and have learned everything I possibly can about digital marketing (and learning more every day!) ⁠
⁠
I’m so glad I did because now, I run a very successful digital marketing agency with a fantastic team and great clients too! ⁠
⁠
My son is fine, he's starting his Master's Degree and getting ready for law school. One day soon, people will definitely want to hear all of his ideas too! ⁠
⁠
Tell me, have you ever taken a leap of faith?
