Accepting Yourself and Your Strengths with Tara Reid | Episode 40

I’m so excited to chat with Business and Marketing Strategist, Tara Reid of Tara Reid Marketing.

This conversation covered everything from burnout and quitting social media to leveraging data and the flexibility to grow and create on your own terms. Tara’s quiet, calm energy is still a force to be reckoned with, which she proves through her long track record as a thriving entrepreneur, podcast host, and community builder.

In this episode, we chat through:

• Shifting her vision over time but coming back to the same goal of encouraging other introverts learn different ways to grow their business without draining their energy
• Overcoming a bout of burnout
• Her self-acceptance turning point after feeling like she had to be more extroverted to be successful or liked
• Not needing to be the loudest voice in the room
• Documenting her new brand strategy and voice after evolving it and living it out over time
• Being truthful about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and her own strengths
• Holding the unpopular opinion that a million dollar business is too big for her and instead, focusing on connections and sustainable growth
• The value of flexibility as a multi-passionate introvert with ADHD
• Being mindful of information overload and where to invest your money, especially when you don’t take action on either investment
• Quitting social media to focus on email and thought leadership
• Looking at the data when you need to decide something
• Not forcing yourself to be something you’re not or do something you don’t want to do
