I’m on my first marketing job and I already hate the owner of this company.

He’s extremely controlling, wants everything to be done exactly the way he wants it, doesn’t give any creative liberties, expects me to do multiple roles within the marketing domain without burning out and still questions me at the end of the month “why are we not growing?”

Long story short, …

My brain: Could it be the oversized burger you ate for lunch?

Me: Nope.

My brain: The fact that you haven't gone outside in two days?

Me: That's not it.

My brain: Maybe you just need coffee.

To mother like we don’t work…

And maintain insanely unrealistic beauty standards and do the lion’s share of domestic duties on top of it all

The sooner you realize that you're a digital media company, the better.

Even if you sell supplements, services, coaching, courses, affiliate products or display ads...

Your success online depends on the quality and quantity of MEDIA you publish.

Tobi, founder and CEO of Shopify, recently called meetings a “bug”.

I wouldn’t go that far, but one of the biggest reliefs when going independent is coming off of the meeting addiction many companies have.

Most meetings are poorly prepared, ran, and drain energy.

Marketing is about building awareness.

But not brand awareness.

It’s about building problem awareness, solution awareness, and product awareness.
