About Plan it Like a Pro
​
This isn't your typical marketing strategy guide.
​
Plan it Like a Pro was created for small business owners who are brilliant at what they do — but feel a bit lost when it comes to marketing.
​
You know you need a plan. You know "winging it" isn't sustainable. But the thought of sitting down to write a strategy document makes you want to hide under your desk.

Over 10 practical chapters, you'll build a marketing strategy that's:
-
Clear (no jargon, no corporate speak)
-
Realistic (works for actual humans with limited time)
-
Actionable (templates and worksheets included)
-
Flexible (can be adapted as your business grows)
You'll work through proven frameworks like SWOT analysis and the 7Ps of marketing — but explained in a way that actually makes sense. Plus, you'll get fill-in-the-blank templates, monthly planning tools, and real business examples.
​
By the end, you'll have a marketing plan you can use — not one that gathers digital dust.
