You’re under siege…

Increasingly, you wake up thinking about the bills. Pleasant as that is, those thoughts must take a backseat because it’s time to get the kids off to school. If you’re lucky your commute won’t be too hellish.

At work your inbox is expanding, projects are piling up, and you’re pretty sure the new manager just graduated from Annoying U.

Bonus: Throw in a fender bender, dental emergency, or some in-law drama and…

Go ahead, punch a hole in the wall (I’ll wait).

Stress can get to the best of us, leaving us feeling anxious, depressed, tired, out…

You want to do more in life.

A fact that becomes painfully obvious when your coworker Erik talks about all his adventures outside of work.

Arriving home, you say a quick hello to your family. Problem is, you’re not fully present. Something is tugging at you. Pulling your attention towards other things… other needs.

Name your poison, cowboy…

• Cracking open a nice…

You’re overwhelmed by the needs and agendas of others — email hounding you from the moment you wake up until you set the phone down for the night.

When you finally dig into an important project, the day is half gone. You think, now I can get some real work done. But endless interruptions make it hard to gain any traction.

There just isn’t enough time.

And, at this rate, it feels like you’re never going to get ahead. It’s so…

It’s Monday morning.

Sipping your steaming cup of coffee, you scroll right past a cluster of questionable Facebook posts by your uncle.

Then a headline catches your eye:

Facebook Ads for Small Business Marketing: Quickly 10X Your Profits!

You know it’s an ad, but click anyway.

One click leads to another, and an hour later you look up from your phone with burning eyes — mental circuits buzzing with a thousand ideas: Should I run ads? Grow my social media following? Try to get on Oprah?

How do you market a small business?

The options are overwhelming. It’s not like…
