I just want my life to change...

Helloooo, are you constantly thinking, "I just want my life to change"? It’s a trap that many of us fall into. But here's the truth:

Waiting for change is holding you back.

Let’s Break It Down:

• Big changes rarely happen overnight. Neuroscience tells us that real growth comes from small, consistent actions rather than waiting for one transformative event.

• Why is this mindset dangerous?

  • You stay stuck in a cycle of frustration.

  • Focus shifts to what isn’t happening, rather than what you can control today

Thank you, thank you! Back to the point…

• Micro-habits matter. Small, daily actions (like waking up 10 minutes earlier or journaling) rewire your brain and have a bigger impact over time.

• 1% improvements daily = major progress. Focus on improving just a little bit each day, and you'll be surprised at the change over time.

• Neuroscience backs this up. Every small action you take creates new neural pathways, reinforcing positive behaviors and helping you break free from bad habits.

• Stop waiting and take action. The longer you wait for the “perfect moment,” the more you delay your progress.

Quick Challenge for the Week:

• What’s one small change you can commit to for the next 7 days?

  • It could be as simple as drinking an extra glass of water, taking a short walk, or reading for 5 minutes daily.

    • These little shifts build up over time!

E45: Stop Chasing Likes! REAL Metrics for REAL Growth from The Marketing Woman Podcast

The episode is about how vanity metrics like likes and followers often distract marketers from focusing on what really drives business growth—metrics that matter.

Did you know that 79% of marketers rely on vanity metrics, but only 22% link them to revenue growth? This episode dives deep into what that means for your business.

Break down four key metrics that should be the focus and Real-world case studies include:

• Slack’s retention-focused growth by prioritizing daily active users and long-term engagement.

• Spotify’s data-driven personalization, boosted user retention by 75% with Discover Weekly.

We discuss practical tools like Hotjar, Google Analytics, and Klaviyo to help you track the right data and improve your marketing efforts.

The episode emphasizes that while vanity metrics might look good on paper, they don’t drive sustainable growth. Real metrics—like retention, engagement, and conversion—are where your focus should lie to see true business impact.
