Be Your own Business Advocate.

 I was always taught to be humble when it came to business accomplishments and self-promotion.

I remembered when I started my Event and Decoration Consultancy Business. Considering it’s a terrain with lots of competitors, I go out for marketing, which I still do and while doing that I ensure everyone I come across I politely discuss my business with them and give them my complementary card. I say thank you, smile and I don’t boast.

I’ve had to learn how to appreciate people while still being my own advocate. When it comes time for a job

How to Track Comments on Instagram

One of the questions I get asked frequently is how to track comments on Instagram. If you have an active Instagram account with numerous and frequent notifications, staying on top of your comments can be difficult.

Within the Instagram app, you will only see your latest 75 notifications. So, if you have an active account, and receive a lot of likes, comments, and new followers, you can easily lose track of your audience’s comments.
