KEY TAKEAWAYS

• 
  

  Social media is a full-time business function, not something to do “when you have time.”

  
  


• 
  

  Selling too early pushes people away—trust must come before transactions.

  
  


• 
  

  Organic growth is essential before running ads, otherwise you waste money.

  
  


• 
  

  Niching down helps you grow faster, even though it feels uncomfortable at first.

  
  


• 
  

  You don’t need to be on every platform—choose where your ideal clients already are.

  
  


• 
  

  Starting from zero online presence is easier when you focus on clarity, not perfection.

  
  


• 
  

  Strong hooks matter more than introductions—get straight to the value.

  
  


• 
  

  Short-form content builds attention, while long-form content builds trust.

  
  


• 
  

  Perfection slows growth; consistency and value win every time.

  
  


• 
  

  Never rely on just one platform—build owned audiences like email lists.

  
  


• 
  

  Ethical, transparent marketing will always outperform shortcuts.

  
  


• 
  

  Being real and human beats over-polished, AI-generated content.

  
  

BEST MOMENTS

“Social media is a full-time job, whether business owners like it or not.”

“People are tired of being sold to—they want to be understood first.”

“If you try to speak to everyone, you end up connecting with no one.”

“Perfection is usually just procrastination in disguise.”

“You don’t own Instagram, Facebook, or Airbnb—your audience can disappear overnight.”

“Being ethical, transparent, and real is what builds trust long-term.”
