You need a marketing plan.
It’s an essential part of your job as Director of Marketing for your business.
Your marketing plan is a roadmap that will help you reach your goals.
Just as you wouldn’t plan a road trip to Provo, Utah, without consulting GPS, Google Maps, or even a road atlas, you shouldn’t do marketing without a plan.
If you’re like many solopreneurs, though, you’re not sure where to get started with writing a marketing plan. That’s where this blog post comes in!
It’s my honor to share with you these six free resources that will help you write your marketing plan.
Remember: We work on our marketing plans twice a year in The Celestial Circle (June and November). So, if you ever need more direction and support, please consider joining The Celestial Circle during our open enrollment periods so I can help you.

ABOUT JILL
Hi, I’m Jill Celeste. I teach purpose-driven entrepreneurs (just like you) everything you need to know about marketing so you can become the Director of Marketing for your business.
Because when you put your Director of Marketing hat squarely on your head, marketing is your number one priority (which will result in more clients!).
When I am not teaching about marketing, you’ll find me hanging out with my husband or my teenage boys, or taking a nap with my basset hound, Emma. I also like to play with my two guinea pigs and feed the backyard ducks (much to my neighbor’s chagrin).
