Go Where You Are Wanted

Shaun Bradford

“Go where you are wanted,” says Brand Strategist Nancy Martira.

Just listened to the latest episode of Wynne Leon’s podcast, The Life of Try, where guest Nancy Martira discusses how to find your audience based on your specific brand, your personality, and the beauty of forming meaningful connections.

Nancy suggests that if you’re trying to build your audience, find people who fully embrace you and what you have to offer. In other words, you really must go where you’re wanted.

One thing that resonated with me was having a niche style that many people may not embrace. Nancy said that the beauty of having your own business or brand is that you have no one to answer to. You can do your own thing. The downside—which may or may not be a downside—is that your audience may be smaller than most, but more than likely, your connection will be greater.

Sometimes I want a larger audience so that I can spread love, peace, hope, and kindness to every inch of the world. Smile. Then other times (most times), I love having a small audience because I can personally connect with everyone.

Recently, I created a nutrition and wellness Facebook group for women, and I have yet to promote it as I should. The reason is that I don’t want more people in the group than I can personally connect with.

So, here I am at this crossroads. Should I cap the number of group members and not promote it more, or should I allow as many people as possible to join the group and only focus on those who engage in the conversations?

Guess I have some decisions to make.

Be sure to check out Wynne’s latest episode— “Find Your Unique Value with Brand Strategist Nancy Martira,” and SUBSCRIBE to The Life of Try. There are so many great episodes on there, filled with gems of information and ideas.

Embrace Who You Are

One of my first graphics. LJB2019

As you can see, I have been creating my own graphics for a while now. Seeing how far I have come makes me smile. I smile because I found something that I really enjoy doing. I smile because I did not stop because my graphics did not look like everyone else’s. For some reason I wanted mine to be just as unique as me. Lastly, I smile because I cannot wait to see what it evolves into. What was once LJB2019 became LJBSmiles, Shaun’s Smile, LaShaundrea, LaShaundreaB, and now Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. I believe Shaun’s Daily Inspiration is the one I am going to stick with.

Here is what I wrote on the day that I created the graphic.

Facebook Memory: April 8, 2019

Good Morning! This morning I decided to create my own social media find.😉 We’re all different. We are like pieces of a puzzle. Our unique gift/talent is needed to complete the puzzle. So don’t sleep on your gift because it’s needed. Always remember, YOU matter. You have a purpose.

My gifts and talents are definitely unique to me and provide something only I can. This is me fitting perfectly in the space God designed just for me.

Embracing who God designed me to be and evolving.

Wishing you a wonderful week! Don’t let too much stress you out. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, take a break and breathe. You deserve a stress free life.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
