The business and marketing education money can’t buy


Hey Reader,

When I was growing up, my dad had a favorite expression: When all else fails, read the directions.

For him, it was a tongue-in-cheek warning not to struggle needlessly when someone else had already laid out a plan I could follow.

I took it literally, and honestly, it’s served me well.

When I was brand new to business, I didn’t have the cash to buy courses or hire a coach. I barely had enough to pay for my website hosting and email platform. I also didn’t know how to do things like set up an email funnel or create and sell a digital product.

I took dad’s “advice” and got scrappy.

This is how I did it.

To your success,
Cindy
