Shownotes

2023 was both a beast, and the best, of years. Sometimes the most valuable lessons and strategies for business success and personal growth come from uncomfortable learnings. That was certainly true for 2023. 

To mark the end of the year, and the close of this second season of The BrandUp Podcast, I’m trying something new: a personal roundup of what worked and what didn’t in 2023.

Most of all? This episode is a celebration. Get ready to hear about how my ADHD and burnout challenged my entrepreneurial ambitions, and what I’m deeply, dizzyingly proud of achieving nonetheless.

Hot topics in this episode include:

Consistency: Celebrating publishing 14 episodes of The BrandUp Podcast without missing a week – a testament to resilience and strategy in content creation.

Balance: how do you find a healthy balance between social media marketing and preserving your energy? Find out what I’m committing to going forward.

Social Media Burnout: this has wiped me out, and I share how I’ll approach social media content creation next year to manage my mental health and still maintain brand visibility.

Collaboration: it’s one of the key strategies I’ve used to get my business back on track. Learn why I think you should seek business collaborations for growth and joy!

Old-school networking: find out how this was an unexpected business growth engine for me this year, and how I’m leaning into it for 2024.

I’d love to stay connected. I’ll be starting a new private podcast in 2024, and would love you to join me. If you’d like to hear more or to find out how you can work with me in LOUD & CLEARtm or one-to-one, then email me at anne@annedferguson.com.
