Great suggestions here on how sharing other people’s content can help you grow your own business. (This has been my approach for many, many years – I just loved to spread the love and shine the spotlight on quality peeps!)

That’s a wrap for The Social Scoop this week. Here’s wishing you a delightful weekend and successful week ahead!

On a personal note, woohoo, it’s time for more #JOMO this weekend. The JOY of ‘missing out’ – really, I’m not missing out on anything. Ha! I’m unplugging from tech to plug in to nature. It’s so amazing; I find the more rigorous I am about taking time to nurture my personal life and self-care, the more successful my business efforts become. Love that!

Cheers!
