Reclaim Your Time: Strategic Business Management | Katie Brinkley | Ep 38

Time is a precious commodity. If you had more of it, what would you prioritize?  Today’s guest is Katie Brinkley, owner of social media agency Next Step Social Communications, host of the Rocky Mountain Marketing Podcast, and author of the Social Shift. Imagine being a social media expert who advocates for spending less time scrolling and more time living—Katie does just that!  Katie shares her unique insights on finding abundance in business ownership. Her story is a powerful reminder to grant ourselves permission to step back and reassess our goals for a more fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.  Podcasting was a game-changer for Katie, starting as a creative outlet and evolving into a strategic tool for business success. With over 300 episodes under her belt, she covers the trials and triumphs of maintaining a twice-weekly podcast while juggling other responsibilities.

I didn't need to be the business owner that scaled seven figures in three years. I didn't need to post on social media every day…I gave myself the permissions and everything changed." - Katie Brinkley  Connect with guest, Katie Brinkley:     Website – Katie Brinkley   Podcast – Rocky Mountain Marketing Podcast  Instagram – Katie Brinkley  LinkedIn – Katie Brinkley  The Social Shift Book – https://www.katiebrinkley.com/book  This podcast is edited and managed by the team at PodcastAbundance.com and we’d love to produce your podcast too!
