Making decisions is part of being a business owner and a leader - and with it comes the skill of discernment: “the ability to judge well”. And with making decisions also comes the need to say ...

Ask a business owner what their one wish would be if they had a magic wand for their marketing, and many would say “to have a month of content scheduled”. There is the constant guilt of not posting enough, like a burden hanging over you. So “success” can sound like finally having 30 days of posts automatically going out on your social media. And that’s what you hear from all different people: “Post more content!” and “You have to post every day!” or even “You have to post 3 times a day!” Let’s s...
