Hello. I’m so glad you stopped by.
I’m Debbie – marketer, consultant, adviser, writer, educator and mentor to small businesses, startups, entrepreneurs and freelancers.
I love marketing. Done right, it has the potential to change lives for the better. Done badly it can bring business owners to their knees . Read about why I started Reluctant Marketers and how I think we can be a force for change.
I’ve been involved in marketing for over 30 years, working on local, national and international projects for all kinds of clients including high-tech companies, non-profits, new businesses, well-known national organizations and many more.
My work usually begins with the initial marketing strategy, and continues right through to the project implementation.
When I’m not helping others with their marketing projects, I’m working on my own projects. Walking the walk. Not just talking the talk.
Here’s some insight into some of the things I think are important in business, and in life.
Perhaps some of this list will resonate with you, too:
- Ask lots of questions
- Laugh
- Look on the bright side
- Learn to adapt
- Get up. Get moving.
- Think a lot
- Say what you think
- Make your bed in the morning
- Look for the good in people
- Dig deeper
- Fight for what you believe in
- Don’t give up the fight
- Make mistakes. Make them fast.
- Be true to yourself
- Evolve
- Listen to others
- Don’t listen to others
- Help people
- Ask for help
- Be kind
I strongly believe that good marketing stands or falls on the quality of the relationships we build with others, so I hope you’ll want to be in touch.
Let’s start a conversation. Let’s make an impact.
