Let's just be honest here. This is an intervention.

Most business owners I talk to feel like creating content and managing social media is a full-time job—and honestly, they’re not wrong.

First, you need to write a script. That alone can take longer than you'd like to admit. Then you have to film yourself (on a day you don’t feel camera-ready), and after several takes, you finally get a decent clip—only to realize you now have to edit it. Yay.

Next, you post that polished video to Instagram and Facebook… only to discover the downloaded version has no audio. (Seriously, why?!) So, you record it again—because of course you do. Then you toss it up on YouTube with a cheerful, “Don’t forget to like and subscribe!”—as if you're running a media empire from your back office.

But you’re not done. No, now it’s TikTok time. Better warm up that awkward dance and point at invisible text bubbles. Still not enough? You now have to find a meme that’s relevant, funny, and somehow connected to your business… and post it on Twitter—sorry, X.

Meanwhile, Threads wants your thoughts, Instagram wants your reels, and LinkedIn wants your résumé meets TED Talk meets inspirational quote graphics. At this point, your coffee is cold and your soul is unraveling into the algorithm.

And for what? A handful of likes and a comment from your mom?

The Truth: It Shouldn’t Be This Hard

Creating content should feel strategic, not soul-crushing. But when you're doing it all yourself—on top of running a business—it becomes chaos. The pressure to be entertaining, informative, consistent, and on-trend can make even the most motivated entrepreneurs feel like quitting.

The Fix: Work Smarter, Not Louder

You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do what works—for your brand, your voice, and your audience. That’s where having a real strategy (and sometimes, a real person to help) makes all the difference.

Because your time is better spent building your business—not chasing algorithms.
