It really forces you to focus on your message or what you're trying to convey or whatever. So I like to think of strategy as self-imposed, but very thoughtful constraints.”🎙️ [19:13] “It's easy to fall into the habit if you don't have a strategy in place of just posting whatever's top of mind.”🎙️ [36:12] “The biggest thing your strategy should do is help relieve you of the stress so that you can actually enjoy creating the content, and enjoy getting to know your audience or capturing new email subscribers or whatever it is your goal is.” 💀 Can’t wait for our next episode?
