Who it's for
This is for you if...
- You run your own business, and marketing feels like one more thing on a never-ending list
- You're fed up of trying random tactics that don't seem to go anywhere
- You want straight advice from someone who isn't trying to sell you a course every five minutes
- You'd rather learn to do it properly than keep throwing money at things that don't work

I make marketing easier for coaches and small business owners. I've been doing it since 2009, and I created the Perfect Customer Journey, the six stages that turn a stranger into a raving fan.
The Memo is how I share what I know: one idea at a time, every Sunday, for free.
P.S. You can reply to any issue. I actually read them.
