What's the most expensive mistake a business owner can make right now? Not investing enough in the one channel that costs them nothing.In this episode of Notebook of a COO, we're talking about attention where it lives, why it matters more than ever, and why most operators are massively underinvested in free reach even when the opportunity is sitting right in front of them.We break down three things every operator needs to understand: why attention is the core business asset (not just a marketing metric), what the science behind effective content actually looks like, and the real reason most people aren't showing up consistently on social; which has nothing to do with not having enough time.We also talk about platform shifts from Yellow Pages to Google, Google to AI and what that pattern should tell you about where to focus your energy right now.This is Notebook of a COO. Operator thinking for entrepreneurs and business owners who want to grow cleanly; without the noise.
