The One Mistake Hurting Your Small Business Social Media Strategy

There’s one mistake I see almost every small business make: They plan too much… and post too little.

We’ve seen it firsthand after working with dozens of interior design and furniture brands trying to grow online.

Over-focusing on strategy might be the very thing stalling your growth.

I’ve seen it too many times...

You spend weeks trying to nail the perfect plan:the perfect content pillars, the perfect funnel, the perfect audience breakdown, but barely post a thing.

Why?

Because it feels safer to plan than to publish.

But the truth is, no matter how good your strategy is on paper, you won’t know what works until you create.

The Real Formula

Strategy + Consistent Content = Clarity.

You don’t get clarity before you show up. You get it by showing up.

3 Reminders to Get You Out of Planning Mode

1. Start before you feel ready. Your first few posts aren’t supposed to be perfect—they’re supposed to get you in motion.

2. Use your content to test your strategy. Watch what resonates. What flops. What gets replies. That’s your audience showing you the way.

3. Refine as you go. The most effective strategies are built through iteration, not imagination.

Yes, strategy matters. But content is where strategy becomes real.

So if you’ve been telling yourself you need to “finalize the plan” before you show up?

This is your sign to just start. Tweak. Test. Repeat.

That’s how the real momentum builds.
