Remember when Yellow Pages was the definitive way customers found businesses? Fast-forward to today, and we're experiencing another seismic shift in how people discover and research companies. The difference is, this revolution is happening at lightning speed.

For the first time in over two decades, Google's dominant 90%+ search market share is facing real competition. The challenger? AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. And the numbers are staggering.

Case Study: Helping Bronwyn W. Build Her Lactation Consulting Business from a Small Town in Northern Ontario with No Marketing Experience 

Bronwyn is a lactation consultant and prenatal educator living in a small, tight-knit community in Northern Ontario. 

When she came to me, she had dreams of growing her private practice as an independent lactation consultant (she previously worked as a Midwife but it was no longer aligned as a career path) into the go-to place for prenatal education and lactation consulting in Renfrew County. BUT... she was stuck.

Case Study: How a Vancouver Nutritionist Increased Website Traffic by 38% and Generated 5 New Clients in One Month

Business coaching isn't just about strategy, it's about implementing systems that drive real, measurable results.

When Emily Pankratz, a registered holistic nutritionist practicing in Vancouver and Abbotsford, BC, came to me through my Mini Marketing Audit program, she was struggling with inconsistent client flow and low website conversions.

Despite having expertise in holistic nutrition and BIE (Bio-Energetic Intolerance Elimination), Emily was only attracting 4 new clients per month and wasn't maximizing her online presence in Canada's competitive wellness market.

As a business coach in Canada specializing in health and wellness entrepreneurs, I helped Emily implement targeted SEO strategies, optimize her client acquisition funnel, and develop systematic referral processes.

Lessons Learned from Alex Hormozi's Scaling Workshop in Las Vegas

I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas where I attended the Acquistion.com Scaling Workshop presented by Alex Hormozi and his team.

Definitely not the typical Las Vegas trip, that’s for sure! There was no gambling, no clubbing, and no fancy cocktail bars. 

However, I did get to spend 2 very full days learning from Hormozi’s team on whether my business was prepared to scale, how to identify the weak spots, and what the next steps for growth look like.

It was an incredible experience, and if you can afford the expense ($5000 USD ticket and flights + hotel) then I’d say go for it. The workshop delivered on ALL fronts and I’m glad I went.

In this blog post, I want to demystify what it is to write a Marketing Plan.

  • You don’t need to be a CMO (Chief Marketing Officer),
