Your 2026 Strategy: What to Stop, Start & Scale for Growth
Tue Feb 03 2026
Most businesses don’t have a content problem, they have a strategy problem.
In this episode of the Digital Success for Business Podcast, Leanne Cohens breaks down why creating more content isn’t the answer in 2026 and how to build a structured content ecosystem that actually supports the buyer journey, builds authority, and drives growth. This episode is for business owners who feel busy with content but aren’t seeing momentum.
What You’ll Learn
why most content strategies fail before they even start
how to connect content to the buyer journey (not just a posting schedule)
what content activities to stop doing in 2026
what to start focusing on to build authority and trust
how to scale content without burning out or creating noise
how to turn content into a long-term growth system, not a daily chore
Key Quotes
“More content doesn’t fix confusion. Strategy does.”
“If your content isn’t connected to the buyer journey, it’s just noise.”
“The goal isn’t to be everywhere — it’s to be remembered.”
