THIS JULY – DECLARE YOUR EMOTIONAL INDEPENDENCE
Have you ever really lost it? I mean, you got so upset, disappointed or aggravated at a situation that you became emotionally paralyzed?
On the other hand, have you ever been so over-the-moon with enthusiasm and excitement that you simply lost your presence of mind?
The constant reactive teeter-totter of emotions can be both thrilling and draining. And unfortunately, whether you’re thrilled or drained, those overwhelming emotions are likely to disrupt you from doing what you must to increase the growth of your business!
In honor of the Fourth of July holiday, I’d like to suggest you explode – or eliminate – those emotional disruptions. Your solutions are in this month’s ZannPlan.
If you are ready and willing to play full out, July will be your month to declare your emotional independence.

Social Media Strategy
#hashtags
Did you know that hashtags are Instagram’s digital filing system? With that in mind, be intentional when choosing a hashtag. Your hashtags categorize your posts by topic. Before you use the # symbol, think about your audience and brand. Then create hashtags that will tie your posts to the categories that support your business and your brand.
More popular hashtags like #Selfie or #SundayFunday are used so often, that when you reuse them, your post quickly drops to the bottom of the newsfeed. Instead, use hashtags that are used less often to increase your chances of getting noticed and displayed on the Instagram discovery page. By typing a hashing into the caption box on Instagram, you’ll see the number of times it’s been used.
Get creative with your branding and campaign hashtags. For example, #ZannFan builds a feeling of community with my followers, while at the same time strengthening my brand.
July Challenge: Go to Instagram, type a hashtag into the caption box and track the number of times it’s been used. Duplicate this process and create between 11 – 20 intentional hashtags to use on future posts. According to a recent article in Forbes, posts using more than 11 hashtags get 80 % more interaction.

Time Management Tip
Put an End to Procrastination
You have a deadline looming. You made a commitment to reach out to five new people today and yet, instead of making the calls, you are fiddling around with miscellaneous activities; things like checking email, posting on social media, or watching videos. You know you should be making the calls and yet, you just can’t muster the discipline to act.
Are you familiar with the procrastination phenomenon? When you procrastinate, you squander away your valuable time and put off important tasks you should be doing, until it’s too late.
And then, when you realize it’s too late, you panic and wish you had started earlier.
Chronic procrastinators spend years of their life looping in this cycle, which is driven primarily by fear. Avoiding what scares you, delaying to avoid rejection, hiding to avoid failure – it can become pervasive and the loop continues.
Procrastination is a bad habit that eats away at your confidence, causes and intensifies depression, and prevents you from being a Champion.
Don’t let procrastination take over your life. Here are some proven strategies to help you overcome procrastination, banish your fears, and regain your emotional independence.
- Divide your work into little steps. When something seems too overwhelming, breaking it down will make it easier to take action.
- Change your environment. Different spaces will impact your productivity. Work where you are inspired.
- Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. What is the goal? What is the plan to implement? When do you want to meet or exceed your goal?
- Work with an accountability partner. Find someone who is highly disciplined, has the desire to achieve, maintains a positive attitude and work ethic.
- Declare your goals. It’s one thing to think about it. It’s another to write them down. Additionally, declaring your goals out loud to your Sponsor, spouse, accountability partner, or a friend, takes your commitment to a whole new level.
Procrastination is a choice. If you want to be a Champion, choose to put an end to your procrastination.
Motivational Message
Create An Attitude Of Gratitude
The Law of Attraction dictates that whatever you think about MOST will manifest in your life. Therefore, if you think about what is NOT working in your life, you’ll attract more lack. Conversely, if you think about IS working – and express gratitude for all the good in your life – you’ll will attract more abundance.
You owe it to yourself to continually put positive thoughts into your head and remind yourself every day how amazing you are, and how your possibilities are endless! A daily gratitude list supports this commitment.
Every morning, I make a list of at least 10 things I am grateful for. What a glorious way to start my day! Most mornings, I do this in my head before I get out of bed. This way, my gratitude juices are flowing even before I take pen to paper.
I have always believed in the philosophy that what we think about, we bring about, and what we think about most of the time creates our reality. So, it just makes sense to continually think about all the things we are grateful for and that are working in our life.
Author Melody Beattle is an inspiration for me. She says, “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
Leading with gratitude will inspire you to focus on all the positive ways you will take action to design your life today – and expand your vision for the future. An Attitude of Gratitude is the foundation for your emotional independence.
