Do you struggle to create content and stick to a content plan?

Would you love to show up online regularly and create great content - but you just can't ever make the time?

Perhaps you start with good intentions and you struggle with being consistent or you can't think what to post and it becomes days or weeks before you post anything again.

Maybe creating social media content has become just another thing on your to-do list? Or perhaps you spend ages creating BRILLIANT pieces of content and it goes out and NO ONE responds and you just feel like giving up?

If any of that sounds familiar you'll love this podcast episode.

I explain the seven problems that people have with creating regular content and how to overcome them.

Listen and find out what could be holding you back in your content creation and why you can't rely on your will power alone to make you do something if you're NOTfeeling the love for it.

Discover how to make content creation your thing and what to do if you really don't enjoy it.
