I want you to finish this line with something honest. Something you probably think all the time but never actually say out loud. “One thing I wish more people understood about my content is...” 🗣️ Make it about how you create, what goes into it, what people don’t see, or what you wish they got on a deeper level.Keep it simple and real. Most folks only ever see the final post. They don’t see the half baked drafts, the ideas you scrap, the tiny decisions that take way longer than they should, or how much heart goes into making something useful. When we talk about the behind the scenes, it makes content creation feel way less lonely for everyone else too. 👇 Share your line here or post it on your feed if you want to put it out into the world 👇 Here’s my example to break the ice: “One thing I wish more people understood about my content is that it doesn’t come from being endlessly creative. It comes from showing up even when the ideas feel messy, pulling one clear thought out of the chaos, and hoping it helps someone move a little faster or feel a little less stuck.” ✨

Okay y’all… I just went down a rabbit hole with this giant social media report and instead of letting your eyes glaze over like mine almost did, I pulled out the good stuff for you. Think of this as the “I read it so you don’t have to” version. If you want the easy, barney-style breakdown, here it is 👇 ✅ AI is becoming a must-use tool: Not to replace your creativity… just to help you work faster and stay consistent. Think scheduling, ideas, planning, editing. ✅ Influencers aren’t going anywhere: People trust real humans more than brands. Even small creators matter. Micro = more connection. ✅ Short-form video is still the #1 content type: Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts… this is where attention lives right now. ✅ UGC (user generated content) is powerful but barely used: Reviews, customer pics, testimonials — businesses say it works, but most don’t post it enough. ✅ Content creators and business owners are burnt out: Streamlined workflows and simple systems matter now more than ever. The big lesson: You don’t need to do everything. You just need a simple plan, a few repeatable systems, and content that feels human. Alright… your turn 👀 Which one of these stood out to you the most?

When everything goes down at once — ChatGPT, OpenAI, Canva — it’s like the universe sends small business owners a forced “tech timeout.” But honestly? You can still get a ton done without touching a screen. This morning, ChatGPT and all of the apps we use to help run our small businesses were down. I panicked at first, but than I made a list... ✨ What to Do When ALL the Tech Is Down 1. Brain-Dump Content Ideas on Paper Grab a notebook and write down: - FAQs customers always ask - Stories you’ve never shared - Wins, lessons, and mistakes - Hooks and headline ideas 2. Map Out Your Next 30 Days of Content Draw a simple layout: - Week 1: Awareness - Week 2: Value - Week 3: Trust - Week 4: Promotion 3. Plan Your Next Offer Upgrade Ask yourself: - What do customers keep struggling with? - Where do clients get stuck? - What could you simplify, package, or add on? 4. Refresh Your Messaging Write out: - Your brand promise - Your values - The transformation you create - The ONE sentence that explains what you do 5. Batch Shoot Quick Content Clips on Your Phone - B-roll of your workspace - You working - You writing - You packaging - Behind-the-scenes moments If the entire internet is having a meltdown, it’s okay to breathe. You’ve probably been “on” for weeks. A tech outage can double as a reset.
