Hi there, it’s Vashti, the owner of VGTS.

I get a lot of weird looks when I tell people I quit the Meta social media family, but guess what?

I am a whole lot happier, freer of distraction, and my business’s profit has increased simply because my ability to focus is more streamlined.

Instagram and Facebook can be amazing tools, and I completely appreciate and understand the power of social media.

However, I also coach business owners to ask themselves, “Why?” I challenge them to dig deep and ask themselves “why” about everything in their business.

So when I began asking myself, “Why am I on Instagram and Facebook?” I realized that they weren’t right for me so I decided not to use them for my business either.

Forcing myself to do something that wasn’t right for me only hurt my creativity, productivity, and mental health, which in turn hurt my business. 

So if you feel social pressure to fit into the cookie-cutter mold of mainstream social media, I am here to tell you that you will feel so much better if you just let that pressure go and do what’s right for you. 

Instagram or any other platform will still be there if you decide to jump back in. So don’t be scared to take a break or break up completely.

Overall, while social media has its benefits, it’s important to recognize that there are also positive advantages to not being on it.
