We reached out to the 2021 Bungalow All In Vegas VIP clients (okay, they’re more like our best friends at this point) to find out what entrepreneurs, CEOs, marketers, and thought leaders need to know in the New Year.

These are their top tips for you in ’23 – Take a read and then follow them on Instagram; their content is SO good.

Meredith Farr, Biz Ops & Strategies @RebelDreamer.Co

While everyone is planning for 2022, I love the 2021 wrap-up! I know, it can be so boring, but knowing I have all my loose ends tied up gives me the real fresh start feeling.

Create your wrap-up list, I include:

• ClickUp Clean Up: Archive any old, used, outdated Lists, Folders, and Spaces
  
• SOP Scour: What SOPs need more clarification? Should I add a Loom? What needs an SOP, but does not have one?
  
• Systems Scrub Down: What systems can I make leaner? What is not optimized as a whole value-generating system
  
• Automation Assistance: Are all of your automations triggering as they should? Zapier is running smooth? Are there any automations that you no longer need because you switched services? Are there any automated upgrades you want to make in the coming year? Did you run through your email automations from trigger to end and see if anything needs to be updated for the new year?

BONUS Do this each quarter for less work at the end of the year!

Creating a fresh start for the new year is always fun and exciting, but knowing I have my backend spruced up gives me the peace of mind I need to go into 2022.

My biggest tips would be:

• Invest in yourself and your business: DIY is a good start but surrounding yourself with expert brains really took my business to the next level (my very first big investment was Live Launch Academy by The Social Bungalow!)
  
• Hire sooner than you think: I hired an OBM and it has literally been a game changer — I wish I hired her years before I did
  
• Find the aspects of your business that really light you up and bring you joy… and do more of that!
  
• Focus and dedicate time to streamlining your operations and any systems you have in your business. Smooth processes can make a world of difference — and don’t forget to reevaluate them to see if they can be improved further
  
• Don’t be afraid to take messy action: Don’t wait until it’s perfect before you do something. You can always iterate and improve upon your offer or whatever you’re taking action on.

Hilary Hartling, Brand & Messaging Strategist @HilaryHartling

Your brand strategy is how you position your business to attract, convert and captivate your audience. Consumers these days are savvier than ever and demand so much more from the brands they follow, like and purchase from.

Keeping that in mind, here are 3 strategies to double-down on for your brand in 2022:

• Prioritize Your Purpose: Share the why behind your business and if you give back to any charities, foundations or movements. Consumers are looking for brands who care and that want to make a difference.

• Add Meaning That Moves Your Audience: People want to feel a deeper connection with brands they choose, so define the meaning behind your brand that elicits an emotional response… Inspire them & entertain them.

• Add a Dash of Delight! The last couple years have been heavy and people are ready for lighter, happier, moments. Add delight to your brand experience and give your audience something to smile about (it’ll increase your positive brand perception).

Email Marketing Tip:

Give your audience the opportunity to self segment themselves through utilizing the power of In Sequence Segmentation (ISS). ISS allows you to identify your most ready-to-buy leads on autopilot.

Based on your subscriber’s behavior, use a tool like Zapier to automatically identify these leads from your email service provider for you and “ZAP” them into your lead pipeline location of choice. I use Click Up and have set up additional automation to keep myself and clients on track to follow the predetermined marketing missions we have in place.

Following this process helps to ensure we are all giving our best effort to increase sales conversion potential from the moment someone opts in.

The 1 thing I wish I knew in January 21’ would be to keep going. To continue to be fearless. To trust my intuition and inner guidance. Keep going.

Nicole Nieves, Brand + Business Consultant @TheBrandVibe

Dying to know my best kept secret on marketing your business with ease?

Focus on creating a brand that people are obsessed with! Maybe you’ve found yourself on a 3-hour rabbit trail watching IG reels or TikToks trying to “study” how to go viral…

Or felt so misaligned launching or selling your offer because you followed someone else “guaranteed” approach to marketing your biz.

Or maybe you’re just plain tired of the daily grind of putting out post after post with little to no gain… the way to change the game for yourself (and your clients!) in 2022 is to embody a BRAND new you. Literally.

Ask yourself:

• What are my CORE values and desires?
• What do I want to TRULY be known for?
• What IMPACT do I want to make beyond my income targets?
• And most importantly—what do I REALLY want (for myself, my business, my future, my growth)?

The answers to these questions make up your brand.

When people can relate to your vibe and your story, they fall deeper into trust falls that lead them to be eager buyers + brand advocates for the long haul. Because people do business with people. So in 2022, step into a brand new you.

5 reasons why you want to turn on creator mode on your LinkedIn in 2022!

• Add Hashtags to your profile. Do this for all the SEO reasons.

• Access to newsletter feature (leverage this feature to talk about current trends in your industry, use articles to talk about evergreen topics)

• GO LIVE! You can go live on LinkedIn (via 3rd party streaming platforms) when you’re on creator mode… DO IT!

• More insights and data tracking… important to see what’s performing well, who’s interested in your profile… all the important tactical things!

• The default is for people to follow you instead of connect. This is important to you if you want to keep your feed very specific to your ideal clients.
