Happy Monday!

Here’s the Business Buzz with A Helpful Trend, Tip, Tool, and

a Hot Take from HiveThink to help you this week.

01 HiveTrend - The Lazy Carousel Method

We’ve been seeing a very specific style of Instagram carousel going around and doing quite well.

So, what is it?

It’s a carousel where every slide features the same image, often of a business owner or employee, but each slide contains different text.

It’s often used as a way to communicate tips or share a story.

Most people probably use Canva to create these easily and quickly.

Give it a shot and see how it goes.

02 HiveTip - One Important Step To More Resonant Content

✅ Before creating content, decide what you want your audience to feel.

03 HiveTool - The Not-To-Do List

🚫 A Not-To-Do List helps you avoid tasks that waste time or hurt your productivity.

Write down things you should stop doing, like checking emails too often or focusing on low-priority work.

This helps you focus on what's important and keeps you on track to reach your business goals.

It's just as important to know what not to do as it is to know what to do.

04 HiveTake -  Can It Just Be An Email?

Common business advice often emphasizes regular meetings, but many can be a waste of time.

Instead, consider if an email or quick message can achieve the same result.

🎯 Fewer meetings mean more time to focus on important tasks.

This approach can boost productivity and keep your team more engaged.

Plus, when a meeting is actually necessary, people won’t have meeting burnout.

Until next time,

P.S. One of my favorite podcasts we’ve done was our episode on 9 Books To Change Your Business Life where Chris, Nate, and I (Mike) each cover a book that developed our business mindsets, one that set us on our paths, and one that we return to for tactical tips.
