As entrepreneurs, we are always looking for a way to increase sales, especially during what should be our busiest months. And as the holiday season approaches, even though we are still many weeks away, we as indoor playground owners have a unique opportunity to align their marketing strategies with emerging social trends to ensure this happens.
One such trend gaining momentum is the "underconsumption core" movement, which encourages consumers to focus on experiences and meaningful engagements over material goods. This trend is also in-line with the minimalism that’s been on the rise for years now, especially post-pandemic.
I’m sure you’ve seen it ALL over platforms like tik tok– influencers and regular parents showing off stripped-down playrooms and decluttered homes met with oooohs and ahhhhs in the comments– usually from parents who feel equally overwhelmed and overstimulated by all the STUFF we can accumulate with young kiddos around.
This trend is especially relevant for indoor playground businesses, which can offer enriching experiences for families seeking to simplify their holiday celebrations, reduce the clutter that often comes along with big gifting holidays, and also improve their lives in the year to come.
In this episode, we explore the WHY behind this trend and I share 9 tangible ideas for you to lean into "underconsumption core" this holiday season!

In this insightful episode, we dive into the world of job sharing with Melissa Nicholson, the visionary creator of Work Muse. As many of our listeners are on the brink of launching their own play cafes, they often face the daunting challenge of balancing their current full-time jobs with the demands of starting a new business. Melissa shares how job sharing can be the perfect solution for those looking to mitigate risk while transitioning into entrepreneurship.
For aspiring play cafe owners, the journey from a full-time job to successfully running their own business can be fraught with financial and emotional challenges. The fear of quitting a stable job, the prolonged process of opening a cafe, and the potential for delayed income generation are significant concerns.
Many end up juggling two full-time roles or taking on part-time work just to make ends meet. In this episode, we explore how job sharing can provide a balanced alternative, allowing future cafe owners to stay in their field while easing into their new ventures.
And job sharing can also be a viable option if your spouse or partner eventually plans to leave their career with the purpose of working on your business as well.
Melissa delves into the concept of job sharing, its benefits, and the industries most open to such opportunities. We also discuss common misconceptions about job sharing, the dynamics of job-sharing opportunities, and how benefits and compensation work in this setup. Melissa provides practical advice on finding job-sharing opportunities, approaching current employers about potential job-sharing arrangements, and avoiding common mistakes.
Melissa Nicholson is the host of Jobshare Revolution podcast, the founder of Work Muse, the first U.S. job share company, and a global thought leader in job sharing. With nearly a decade of job sharing experience in the radio industry behind her, Nicholson is working to educate and empower employers and employees to embrace the benefits of job sharing, a partnership between two people who, together, tackle the role of one full-time position. Work Muse drives adoption of job sharing in business as a source of competitive advantage while helping individuals find work-life balance. It brings training, implementation, and support to companies and individuals to create successful job shares. Work Muse launched the first-ever online job share training program Job Share Academy in 2022.
Join us for a deep dive into job sharing and discover how this innovative approach can help you smoothly transition into owning your play cafe while maintaining financial stability and professional growth.

We have another recorded coaching call for you on the podcast today!
Today we are talking to Sarah Kobin who is the owner of Sunshine Play Cafe in Kentucky.
And while Sarah’s space is what I would consider “fully staffed”, meaning she has a team running the place without her needing to be there unless she wants to be, she is still feeling that overwhelm– because even just managing a team is a LOT, especially when a business is new- for everyone involved– for you, your staff, AND your customers.
So today we are first going to talk to Sarah about continuing to delegate tasks in terms of what she should be delegating as well as how and when, we are getting into team management and reducing staff turnover by increasing her teams happiness level and overall satisfaction with their position.
Next we get into my favorite app and system for task and project management, and how I manage my entire life– not just my business life- with ONE free tool and how I am able to loop my team and my spouse into that as well so we all can benefit and better our communication.
We are also going to talk about her different revenue streams and where her focus should be, as well as some things that aren’t quite working out for her right now. We really get into troubleshooting some of her offerings and I think we end the call with some great conclusions and action items that I think Sarah will really like the results of once she tests them out.

Today we are going to be talking about something on the more difficult side, but it’s a topic that has proved itself, unfortunately, 100% necessary in our industry.
DIVORCE.
Because divorce is something that you may never THINK will happen to you, until it does. And luckily, whether you ever find yourself in that position or not, there are really simple things you can do starting TODAY to prevent a lot of the conflict, expenses, and stress that come with the divorce process, specifically if you own or operate a business with your spouse.
And even if your spouse is NOT an owner/ operator of your business or have their name listed on the business entity, YOUR business will still be part of the division of debt and assets– so if you are married or plan to be married at ANY point while running your business- this is an absolute MUST listen for you.
Today on the show we have Dinah Rainey joining us. Dinah Rainey is a CDC Certified Divorce Coach® and the founder and owner of Dinah Rainey, LLC, a women’s divorce coaching business. With over 30 years of legal experience and more than 15 years as a family law attorney, Dinah specializes in helping women strategically prepare for and navigate the divorce process.
Beyond her coaching practice, Dinah is also the founder and owner of a consulting firm and a real estate investment company. She has also founded and owned law firms in California and Georgia.
So while Dinah of course cannot give actual legal advice here, she has some amazing practical knowledge to share that can benefit you in numerous ways, even if you are lucky enough to never go through divorce.

Today we're diving into PART 2 of one of my favorite topics: marketing your indoor playground or play cafe business while saving money.
Facebook and Instagram Ads can be powerful tools for scaling your indoor playground business, but they often feel confusing and costly for beginners.
While quick-launch ads and boosted posts are tempting, they often lack real ROI.
Instead, focusing on strategic spending is key. Let's explore some actionable tips for maximizing your ad budget.

THIS is one of those episodes that make me wish I could hop in a time machine back to 2015 when I was opening my business with what I know after this conversation. Knowing how to handle conflict and how to master difficult conversations with confidence would have saved me SO much anxiety, stress, and ALL the negative consequences that came from NOT having this perfected.
Our guest on the show today is Elisabeth Robinson of “Mastering Difficult Conversations”.
Elisabeth’s mission is to help people and businesses overcome pre-conversation anxiety and build confidence. Effective communication is a crucial skill in both personal and professional life, and today, Elisabeth is going to give us some really practical tips regarding how we can tackle conflict head-on and become better leaders in our business.
And Elisabeth also owned multiple brick and mortar bakery businesses so she has an amazing perspective as both an entrepreneur and highly trained and experienced HR professional to help guide us in this tricky area.
Today we are covering everything– from handling conflict with difficult customers, to handling issues with employees, and even navigating conflict BETWEEN employees– because I don’t know about you, but one thing I will always point to as something that shocked me about owning an indoor playground was just how much time and energy I would spend managing my team and hiring, training, firing– everything that comes with having support staff.
It blew me away just how all-consuming that was, and like I said, I really wish I knew then what I know now and Elisabeth is going to walk us through all of it step by step.

Normally on the Profitable Play Podcast we talk about how to take care of your marketing, your team members, your sales and your customers, your business partners and vendors,- all that. But today, I want to talk about how we can take care of YOU, the business owner.
Because while most of us have amazing support systems and teams that help us make our missions possible– we still remain at the center of it. And if we allow our stress and anxiety and overwhelm to impact our mental and physical health- EVERYTHING suffers.
My guest on the show today is Kelly Hale. Kelly has 25 years experience in the wellness & rehab field as an OT, restorative movement specialist and nervous system regulation expert.
Her lifelong love of learning is apparent in her numerous certifications in Pilates, Brain Gym, Body Ecology, integrative manual therapy and more. She is continually fascinated by the body’s innate ability to self regulate and heal from within.
Kelly’s work is sought out for her unique, synergistic approach that goes beyond the diagnosis and functional deficits to examine the true root causes such as “tripped-up” reflexes, cranial-sacral system disruption, and an un-integrated nervous system. This work has inspired her to create many nervous system regulation programs for rehab and movement professionals as well as the curious person seeking a calmer, more empowered life. As a former meditation drop out herself she understands all too well the challenges of finding the peace and calm and is passionate about sharing quick, simple tools to tap into the wisdom of your nervous system.
Kelly has owned a Holistic Rehab and Pilates practice since 2001, so she has a TON of brick and mortar experience as well. She is a highly sought out presenter at professional conferences and a key note speaker. And today, she is going to teach us how to identify WHEN our bodies are reaching burnout, how to put a stop to it and regulate our nervous system and hormones, and how to actively prevent such imbalances and disruptions in the future– so that we can stay HEALTHY in our minds and bodies- so we can be present both physically and mentally in our businesses, our relationships, and in our various roles in our families and communities.

Since we are ALREADY nearing the halfway point of the year, today I want you to ask yourself a couple of questions (5 to be exact!) that I have gotten in the habit of asking MYSELF if I’m feeling a little distracted or unmoored in my work or personal life, because it always brings my goals and perspective back into focus.

In today's episode of the Profitable Play Podcast, you get to listen in on a recorded coaching call with indoor playground owners Kaylinn and Jeremy who own Monkey Around play space in Billings, Montana. This conversation is unique for a few reasons. First, Kaylinn and Jeremy purchased their business from it's existing owners (two locations) and are currently navigating the process of revitalizing the business with fresh energy and ideas. They also, unfortunately, suffered a near total-loss fire at one of their locations recently. This has caused them to move to a pop-up/ temporary location until they can rebuild.
If you are interested in buying an existing business that needs a little (or a LOT of) TLC, or if you're interested in what opening a temporary pop-up space would look like, this is the conversation for you!
We also talk a great deal about marketing- which is one of my FAVORITE topics, so you KNOW it's a good episode!

In today's episode of the Profitable Play Podcast, we'll explore the pros and cons of timed play sessions and open all-day access for indoor playgrounds and play cafe businesses. While timed play sessions offer a structured environment and (sometimes!) more predictable revenue, they may limit flexibility and customer satisfaction. Open all-day access provides increased flexibility and continuous revenue but comes with challenges such as overcrowding and staffing issues. Choose the model that aligns with your business goals, customer preferences, and operational capabilities, and even consider a hybrid approach for added adaptability!

Hosting vendor shopping events at your indoor play space can be a great way for a quick cash boost AND to begin building a relationship with other local businesses owners and makers. However, the success of your first event is CRITICAL when it comes to enticing shoppers and booking vendors for any future subsequent events. So ensure you don't make these very common mistakes (many of which I have lived and learned from myself!) so you can create a smashingly successful Mother's Day event for your customers, your vendors, and your own indoor playground business.

Here's your pre-marketing checklist PDF: https://www.michelecaruana.com/marketingchecklist
Even if your business is already open, this episode of the Profitable Play Podcast hosted by Michele Caruana will discuss pre-launch marketing strategies that will help you...
-launch a new service or revenue stream
-open a second location with success
-announce new opportunities like licensing or franchising
And more!
When it comes down to it, launching something new can be both exhilarating and a tad overwhelming, especially when it comes to getting the word out.
And here's why pre-opening marketing is especially essential: it's like laying down the welcome mat before your guests even arrive. By building buzz and excitement ahead of time, you're not just opening your doors; you're going to be the toast of (and the talk of!) the town!
But let's face it, marketing can sometimes feel like trying to juggle a dozen inflatable balls at once (which, coincidentally, might be excellent training for your future customers!). That's why this checklist is here to lend you a helping hand. From social media strategies to local partnerships and everything in between, we've got you covered.

How to tell your brand story on social media and on your website with Mariana Henninger from Brand Magnetic!
Oftentimes when I am researching other indoor playground businesses, I find that ONE thing is sorely lacking from many websites and social media channels--
And that is a captivating and intentional BRAND story.
Now I know you may be watching and thinking, I don’t want to put my personal business out there- I prefer to be behind the scenes. And that is absolutely OK. You can share a really impactful business origin story while protecting your privacy. Or maybe you just don’t know what to say, or don’t think people will care.
Whatever your reason may be for NOT yet putting together your play cafe or indoor playground brand or business story and sharing it far and wide– I want to put an end to it TODAY. My guest today, Mariana Henninger is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker who is as obsessed about beautiful, personal and intimate video storytelling as she is about marketing and sales.
Her stories have been on the homepage of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine and many others. She’s worked as a Senior Producer for NBC and Peacock for 5 years and with brands such as Microsoft, Hulu, Wells Fargo and the UN telling emotion-driven stories.
She’s also the founder of Brand Magnetic where she helps entrepreneurs kill painfully long sales cycles, build trust faster and sell faster with a 2-4 minute emotion-driven Brand Video.
And in this episode Mariana is going to share…
✅WHY every business needs a powerful brand story
✅How to structure yours in a way that grabs your audiences attention
✅How and where to share your story in a way that actually results in more customers and sales
✅How to still tell your brand story even if you don’t want to be the FACE of your business
And much more.
Whether you’re already open or you’re still laying your plans– I know you have an amazing story and I am so excited to welcome Marianna to the show to help you tell it in a way that moves your business forward by forming real connections with your audience.

- What she looks for in a play space
- The most important things you need to stand out to homeschooling families as a play space
- What types of programming and classes she’s looking for
- Where we as business owners can reach and market to homeschooling families in a NON icky way
- What types of resources she’s looking for to enhance her family’s homeschooling experience
- How she weights the cost and benefit of many classes and programs
- How to specifically address the unique needs of homeschooling families of color
And much more.
We are also going to clear up some WIDELY held misconceptions about homeschooling families in the indoor play industry and honestly that part alone was just so eye opening and insightful for me, and I really can’t wait for you to hear it.

In this episode I interview owner of Sweet Charlotte's in Buffalo, NY! Molly originally opened as a open-play-and-party indoor playground, but pivoted to include preschool after 4 years. Now I get to sit down with Molly 7 years later as she has over 70 students enrolled and is now getting BACK into open play and birthday parties and chat about how all of her different revenue streams work together, what keeps her motivated in her business, and what advice she has for new and current indoor playground owners!

It can be difficult to own a business like an indoor playground or play cafe (or soft play rental business!) while also being a spouse, partner, parent, caregiver, friend, sibling, etc etc! At times it feels like something is ALWAYS going on the back-burner or a ball is always being dropped--
And if you're anything like me, it can be TOUGH to prioritize what tasks and goals are MOST important between my roles as a mom, business owner, wife- you get the idea. And once I'm done prioritizing, usually ALL of my energy is spent and I have none left to do the actual TASKS I spent time organizing!
In this podcast Kelly shares her best time management tips with us so we can operate our businesses and live our lives with more ease and joy!

As you likely know if you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I was traveling to attend Taylor Swift's "The Eras" Tour this past weekend! And since I love examining my experiences through the lens of a business owner-- I want to share some things I loved about this event and exactly how they can be applied to YOUR small indoor playground or play cafe business!

Visual signs and schedules are tools that use images, symbols, and/or words to provide information and instructions in a visual format.
They are commonly used in various settings, including indoor playgrounds, to help individuals with communication difficulties or cognitive disabilities understand their surroundings and what is expected of them.
And if you accommodate children that are under 5 or 6 years old– remember, they can’t yet read. So even if they do not have any disabilities, visual signs can help them follow the rules and behave safely in your space and it can help prevent tantrums and meltdowns in all kiddos.
Here are some examples of places you can utilize visual signs or schedules in your facility to enhance the experience of children, parents, and staff alike.

A few weeks back I brought my 6 year old son to Explore and More Children's Museum in Buffalo New York after our plans to attend a hockey game were foiled. I took notes and video and wanted to share exactly what I loved abot the kids museum and what I took away from the experience as an indoor playground owner!
In this episode, I share how you can implement the same concepts regarding inclusivity and accessibility, universal design, business sponsorsips, different types of play, and so much more in your own indoor playground or play cafe business!

While I recently made a YouTube video about this topic (linked below), I wanted to expand on that topic and provide some practical tips and daily strategies here in this episode.

A few weeks back I interviewed the amazing Amanda Bybel on this podcast and on YouTube, and we talked about money mindset and we also discussed the different insecure attachment styles we may have with our business, and she also gave us some tips for moving towards a place of more confidence and a more secure attachment style so we can start charging what we’re worth, prioritizing and valuing our time, and really growing and scaling our businesses.
I loved the conversation so much that I asked Amanda to do an additional 1-hour training just for Play Maker Society members, since every month they get their own advanced training that remains exclusive for members, and she generously agreed.
And again while the full training is just for Play Maker Society members, there was ONE little nugget of knowledge that I have just not been able to stop thinking about. In just a few short weeks it’s flipped my cost-benefit analysis process and decision making process on it’s head.
She said, when you have an opportunity to make an investment in your business, whether that’s a new tool or investing in a new skill or something similar, you should ask yourself, “Is this EXPENSIVE, or is it actually EXPANSIVE”?
In this episode, I share how women entrepreneurs and stay-at-home-parents tend to chronically undervalue their time and we also forget to factor OPPORTUNITY COST into the cost-benefit analysis equation. Plus, I give tips on how to move away from this mindset as an indoor playground or play cafe owner.

Should you hire a virtual assistant or remote employee/ independent contractor for your brick and mortar indoor playground or play cafe business?
In a time where recruiting, hiring, and retaining quality employees is more difficult than ever, hiring a virtual assistant or contractor can bridge the gap between the tasks you need accomplished and the amount of help you're able to find for your in-person operation.
Not only will you increase the talent pool you have access to, you can also save a TON of money and frustration when hiring virtual! In this video I share my conversation with Emily Reagan.
Emily Reagan is a jill-of-all-trades when it comes to digital marketing and techie skills.
She’s worked as a behind-the-scenes digital marketing implementer working with many creatives and furniture painters: Jennifer Allwood, Tracey Bellion, Miss Mustard Seed, Wendy Batten, and more, to grow their online businesses. She’s the founder of the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School, where she teaches women the digital marketing skills to get hired online as an in-demand, highly sought-after unicorn digital marketing assistant.
In our chat, we discuss...
...Which business tasks you delegate to a VA or virtual assistant
...How to find, hire, and work with your perfect remote hire
...Mistakes most business owners make (including myself) in this process
...Red flags in remote team members to steer CLEAR of
...How to maximize your spend and time with your VA
...How to have your VA collaborate with your in-person employees
Plus MUCH, much more.
If staffing or hiring and managing a team is a pain point for your family entertainment center, indoor playground, or play cafe business right now- this is perfect for you!

In this episode I share several of the mistakes I made when we licensed our indoor playground concept. While the location did reach profitability and years of success, my own failure to put certain stipultaions and requirements in place in our conrtact led to long-lasting results in terms of the level of success they'd ultimately be able to achieve.

Is there an offer in your indoor playground business or a specific service you launched, that isn’t quite selling as much as you’d like?
One of my favorite strategies to educate our potential customers and spread awareness (and YES, get a major boost in sales!) is a super strategic and intentional content blitx.
In this epsiode I share exactly how to execute this strategy, step-by-step, all using the example of getting more MEMBERS enrolled.

In this episode I share a story of a failed launch turned multi-six-figure-offer, and I share exactly what turned sales around! I also share how you can apply the SAME lesson to any offering that isn't selling as much as you had hoped in your indoor playground, play cafe, or family entertainment business!
I loved chatting with guest expert Amanda Bybel, host of the Related Podcast, during this episode! In this conversation that is unlike anything else I have shared on this podcast before, Amanda shares how you know if YOU are practicing a secure or insecure attachment style with your business, and how to establish more confidence and security in EVERY single thing you do! Trust me, your customers WILL be able to see the transformation as we discuss in this epsiode.

In this episode I share 4 helpful questions to ask yourself as an indoor playground or play cafe owner if you are considering canceling an upcoming event or class due to low registration numbers. And these questions go BEYOND the obvious-- beyond determining the "break-even" point where your event would cost you more to host than to cancel and refund.
SO much in business is NOT black and white, so let's talk about what to consider besides your break-even point.

And, most importantly, I share what I stopped doing at my play cafe and how that made me a much more joyful and energetic owner!

How to attract, hire, and retain employees at your local business-- the question on EVERY owners mind right now!
In this clip of the guest expert training I did exclusively for my Play Maker Society membership, we discuss:
- what Gen Z and other entry level employees look for in a job posting
- what to include/ what NOT to include in a retail or local business job posting
- how to stand out against "big box" employers (like Amazon) who are overing high wages, remote work opportunities, and other perks (like giant sign-on bonuses!) that you can't compete with 1:1
- creative ways to recognize the personhood and individuality of your team members
- red flags that might signal an employee is about to quit
- employee reviews
- unique compensation packages you can afford
- and more!

Here in Western New York, our “busy” indoor playground season typically starts in November and stretches through May. So even though play spaces HERE are winding down from our busy open play season, I know play spaces down south and even across the world are getting ready for their weather to HEAT up, sending droves of families indoors.
In this episode I am going to piggy back a bit off of yesterdays episode where I shared some tips for busy break weeks and share some more things you can do to prepare for not just a busy week– but a longer term busy SEASON.

If you are a parent whose child is preschool-age or above, you understand how “break weeks” can be. Routines go out-the-window, and it’s easy to get stir-crazy, especially if you live in an area that stays cold well-through spring break like it does here in Western New York!
It can be very tempting to plan a fun outing for every day of the week, yet here’s the thing; Everyone else is also planning to do the same.
That can mean difficult parking, lots of crowds, and tantrum-inducing lines. However, we have implemented some strategies at our indoor play center to help make even the busiest week as smooth as possible for families that choose to visit us. Here are some of those tips!

Last episode, I talked about how to find potential opportunities to decrease some of your costs, especially if your business model has shifted at all since opening and your volume is different than expected.
But what happens if you can’t decrease a specific price? Or, worse yet, what if you are facing price INCREASES?
In this episode I share how to know when you need to raise prices, and how to go about it in a way that will upset your customers the LEAST (remember, you can never please everyone).

Since you are likely MOST in touch with your accountant and/or bookkeeper this time of year (hello tax season!) use this opportunity to create an exit strategy and transition plan-- because you truly NEVER know when or why you may want to sell or exit your business. In this episode I discuss updating the valuation of your assets, what a buyer will want to see, what reports you should be generating monthly-- and more-- to ensure you get the MOST profit possible from a sale.
P.S. If you are thinking about selling- hire a broker to help! But this is more regarding what to do BEFORE you are seriously considering selling!

My Play Cafe Academy FAQ Page: www.michelecaruana.com/faq
One of the most powerful yet often overlooked pages on your play space website is your frequently asked questions page.
A lot of times, I will see party businesses or play spaces give super straightforward answers here, and when they do that– they are overlooking why MANY people will come to seek out their frequently asked questions page in the first place– because they are confused, or they have some sort of objection or hesitation about booking with you or visiting your space.
If you’re going to point people to a FAQ page, I highly recommend taking the time thoughtfully word your questions and answers so that you are just not giving people information, but instead actually guiding people to a booking or a sale.
In this episode I give my best tips + plenty of examples for carefully crafting your FAQ page for sales and customer retention!

My Media Kit: https://www.michelecaruana.com/mediakit
As local brick and mortar business owners, we often find ourselves in the position of proposing or being pitched a partnership of some sort.
Whether you’re being pitched to, OR whether you’re on the other side of the table– a media kit for YOUR business can help both parties make a more informed and data driven decision. And if you follow my YouTube channel or my marketing junkie podcast, you know I LOVE data-driven decision making.
In this episode you’ll learn what a media kit is, how it can both save your business money AND help with growth, how you can easily create one for free, what information you should include, how often you should be updating it, AND where you can view mine.

Did you know that there are around 6 (but quite possibly many more if you've been operating a while!) people you ALREADY have in your network that can change the way you write your own business copy?
(And by the way, copy is basically any words that we use to sell or share our products and services. This includes what you see on websites, but it also includes emails we write, social media captions, ads– all that stuff.)
Copy has more of an impact on the number of bookings and customers you convert than nearly ANYTHING else-- more than design, more than fancy pictures, more than fun social media videos.
And as business owners we are SO close to our own business, so when we write our own copy, we often forget about some of the most basic points and elements that are SO significant and so necessary for our prospective customers to read.
So let's CHANGE that and increase our conversions from our copy TODAY!
This play of the day might take a while to complete-- but don't worry, you have the entire weekend for implementing this one! So don't overthink it, just DO it!

Think about this scenario. You woke up crazy early to get some work done, you ran around all day doing errands for your business, you answer emails through your baby's nap time, and you showed up at closing to help clean.
Then, as you're feeling super accomplished: it comes in. A 1-star google review. In my experience, there is NO way to ruin a passionate business owners day than a negative review, especially if its not something constructive. Because let's be honest, some customers can be downright NASTY.
So, how do you react? If you're like how I was in the beginning, it made me want to give up.
THIS simple strategy helped me handle negative comments and truly saved my sanity at times. The important thing is to NEVER let nasty reviews or feedback (again, we love constructive feedback! I'm not talking about that here. I'm talking about trolls who just comment to hurt) prevent you from doing the amazing work you're doing.

If you are like most brick and mortar business owners, you probably feel a sense of overwhelm when it comes to posting on social media. And if you are like most, you likely have SO much you want to share and you have tons of services and products to offer, but that overwhelm often leads to inaction and just NOT posting.
I wanted to share with you an exercise you can complete today that really helped me make sure I was sharing everything I wanted to on social media while still rotating through different topics and keeping my content fresh.
