What’s with all this SMART AF??? Here’s the story and why it matters. (I was in the Army, so of course, it’s an acronym.) -- proud veteran business owner - hooah! After the Army and my Advertising degree, I began working with small businesses. Then in 2007, due to the real estate crash, I very quickly became a small business owner myself. I spent years and thousands of dollars learning digital marketing strategies, search engine optimization, social media marketing, and authority building. Since then, I've helped thousands of small business owners through my marketing agency, training, courses, and presentations. I have worked with thousands of business owners and one thing is true: Business owners hate to market. Many try to “market” their business but never quite get traction. Most, like you, throw away time and money on marketing tactics that just don’t work. The problem is you don’t need another tactic. Marketing isn’t one thing; it’s a system of strategies that all work together to create momentum in your sales, profits, and freedom. Yes, marketing equals freedom. That’s why I created the SMART Marketing system, so small businesses, solopreneurs, and service professionals - like you - can have an easy to follow digital marketing blueprint for growing your business. Then I realized it had to be more than SMART, it had to be SMART AF. So what is SMART AF Marketing?
