   • Within reason, share some personal aspects of your life

   • What do you stand for?

   • What is your story right now? Talk about your employees, your contractors, etc.
     
     

2. Write Your IG Plan of Action

   • What are the steps you can take to reach your customers

   • Schedule your posts for both your feed and your stories
