In this short monologue, the speaker shares a piece of business wisdom he received from a mentor: "stay in the game." He argues that business owners often feel overwhelmed by wearing many hats, but they can maintain a competitive edge by dedicating just ten minutes each week to learning about the latest trends and algorithm updates on major social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. This brief, regular habit keeps them savvy and better equipped than if they rely entirely on an agency or external marketer. The speaker emphasizes that this micro‑commitment to personal education not only improves their own marketing acumen but also makes them stronger businessmen compared to competitors who are less informed.

If you guys spend 10 minutes a week just learning about some of the trends and algorithm changes that your favorite platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are making, you are going to stay in the game and you're going to be much more savvy than you would be if you just decided to let an agency or another marketer like myself just do everything for you.
