FAQs

My business isn't based in Mississippi. Can I still take this course?

Absolutely. Location doesn't matter for Master Your Marketing.

What if I miss a session?

All Master Your Marketing workshops are recorded; you'll have access to them for two weeks. But you'll get the most out of it by attending live!

Do I have to participate in the private online community?

No, but I encourage you to. Even if you don't want accountability or encouragement, asking for feedback from the group is so valuable!

How do I access the course?

The Master Your Marketing workshops happen live via Zoom. I'll send an email with all relevant links once you've enrolled.

Do I have access to the recordings?

Yes. You'll have access for two weeks. 

What do I need to get the most out of the course?

A device with internet access and a commitment to learning and doing the work. You've got this!

Can my business partner attend, too?

Only one enrollment is required if you're attending from the same location. Your entire team can join the course for one registration fee if the team is at the same location.

Is there a test?

No. However, by the end of the four sessions, you'll have a 5-part marketing plan to grow your business. You'll also be invited to join our private community so you get the support you need to implement your plan.

Will I receive a certificate of completion?

You will!

If Master Your Marketing is based on a couple of books, can't I just buy and read them?

You absolutely can. But you're much more likely to actually use what you learn when you enroll in Master Your Marketing. (And the only way for your new knowledge to make a difference is to implement it.)

Does StoryBrand know you're teaching this?

Yes, of course! I have an agreement with StoryBrand to teach their curriculum.
