When done right, it feels like you. What you’ll walk away with: ✔ Why strategy can feel healing ✔ The importance of being included in your own marketing ✔ What it actually means to "attract the right people and repel the wrong ones" ✔ Proof that simplicity > perfection If you’ve ever thought, "I just want someone to help me figure this out and still feel like myself," — this one’s for you. www.ashleyavismarketing.com  @ashleyavismarketing
