Email lists are important for your overall marketing strategy because it is still the best way to connect with your clients and customers vs relying only on your social media networks.

I work specifically with independent authors and creative professionals on branding and marketing themselves, their books, and their businesses because “If you build it, they will come” is NOT a marketing strategy!

Season 1, Episode #2 October 19, 2022
Your journey as a solopreneur is one that may feel lonely and uncertain at times. Once you launch your business, there's no boss to turn to for advice or direction.
Throughout all three of my careers, as an educator, as a corporate and direct sales leader, and now as a solopreneur, I have benefitted from mentors who contributed to my success in all three of those endeavors.
Mentors come in all forms, including people who have been where you are now, and people who are experiencing the same now as you are.
Instead of learning only by research and by trial and error, having mentors gives you regular and ongoing sources of valuable information, a listening ear, and relevant experience.
