Guess who's back 😜!

// Compelling stories // Simplifying the Complexity of Marketing

Good morning, friend!

First off - my apologies for just going off the grid for a while, but sometimes life gives you so many challenges at the same time, both good and bad, so coping and managing everything just becomes somewhat "impossible". 

The worst is - I fell into the same trap I advise so many entrepreneurs and companies daily to avoid; "You don't have to generate amazing content every time, just be consistent and present, and your tribe will forgive the once-in-a-while blunder. But don't just drop the ball and disappear..!"

So that's what I did - for different and personal reasons. At first, it was the typical "I'll do it tomorrow... next week..." which turned into next month(s) and now a year... and in the middle of it all, I just realized I missed it. I missed the chance to reach out, give a bit of insight, add value and share stuff I find inspiring and love. 

I do hope you'll forgive me, and that you will give me re-permission to enter your inbox with my thoughts, perspectives, and ideas. 

That said, I wanted to ask you for a favor. Could you please go to this link and answer a few questions? 

If you do this for me, I will send each and every one of you a template I have used so many times that has helped me do better marketing. Promise!

So - I haven't published any new episodes yet, however, it is in the making as we speak. That's why I want you to listen to the first one I published with Gary Vaynerchuk! It is a 30 min episode, where we touch a bit deeper on Gary's way of thinking, and I think you'll find value in it. So please have a listen and tell me what you think of it. Write to me via mail or on twitter :)

So the time is now! 

So let's just jump into my 5 steps for you to take, so that you can craft a solid marketing plan (or strategy if you like that word better) for 2020. —›
