Simplify your marketing: Stop doing these 6 things

Never have enough time to get everything done in your business marketing? STOP doing these 6 things and I’ll bet your schedule will open up real quick.

1. Admin / small tasks

These tasks can eat through an entire day. Simplify, delegate, or ditch them altogether. If your business isn’t making the money you want, then focus on showing up + selling FIRST!

2. Trying to make it perfect

No matter how perfectly perfect you think something is, wait a week and you’ll find something to change. It’s going to happen no matter what so you’re better off hitting publish quickly and adjusting as you learn.

3. Fucking with your design

Your design is FINE. I repeat...YOUR DESIGN IS FINE! Showing up and selling is more important than colors and fonts. Grab templates from Canva or Creative Market and stop using your content to be creative. (Unless being creative is what you teach/do)

4. Planning the day of

If you’re planning all your IG content, emails, videos the day you want to post them, you’re spending more time on that task than you need to. Plan content once a month, create content once a week, and you’ll spend a lot less time wracking your brain for what to post.

5. Scrolling for ideas and inspiration

Ooooh does this one feel good! Scrolling gives you all the serotonin...until it doesn’t. Until 2 hours has gone by. Until you feel like everything you’ve ever created is garbage. Until you’re sure someone else is already doing it better, faster, and way cuter. Save your sanity and skip scrolling!

6. Googling + figuring things out

I am all for Googling until it has you stressed, crabby, and wanting to chuck your laptop out the window. My rule for clients and students is Google for 20 minutes and then if you can’t find the answer, ASK. Find someone who does the thing you do, get into a group where you can ask questions, hire a consultant.
