Hi! If you are looking for a more formal, corporate “what I do”, please scootch on down below. For now, I want to tell you a little about myself, what I have accomplished and where I am still a work in progress!
The guy up top there is my husband of 16 years, Johnny Jacobsen. He is a great guy who sometimes wonders why his entrepreneurial wife can't just get a 9-to-job like everyone else. BUT, that said, he is very supportive of my choice to be an entrepreneur and make my own way in the world!
The three in the middle are our kids! Now, we are probably a little more excited than most to have kids because we adopted them just a few of years ago and we are all hard at work trying to get the our new family figured out. The one thing that I noticed after a while of having them is that I had much less time to work IN my business then I had had when Johnny and I were alone (imagine that). No more weekends grinding out a new product or hours spent building websites for someone else, I had to get super focused and know EXACTLY what I liked most about my business so I could make adjustments and free up some time.
So that is my wish for you. Whether you work with me, buy my workbook or any of the products that I recommend, please get clarity in your business to know what YOU love. Make sure you are spending time on what gives YOU joy and most of all…make sure you are having a BLAST!!!

How We Work
We work closely with our customers from day one, listening to what they are trying to do and then crafting a marketing plan that matches that goal. We start by making sure we know who their perfect customers are and move on out from there to figure out things like:
- Will they be on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or another social network?
- Should they target trade associations or groups?
- What content will their customers actually read and use to make buying decisions?
- Is the goal to grow their email lists, make meaningful connections with influencers or just straight on selling?
While there are about a million other questions to answer, we are sure you see that building a great marketing campaign depends on having a great marketing plan and then working it to generate more leads that will ultimately lead to more sales.
