If you're reading this, you’re probably a business owner, a leader, or someone who's tired of the constant grind, the late nights that never end, and the feeling that your business is moving but going nowhere. You’ve likely asked yourself, "Could we be twice the size today if we had figured this out earlier?". Let me tell you, you're not crazy; you're probably right.

That's precisely why I wrote "Anarchy by Default: Why the Absence of a Strategy Is Costing You Time, Money, and Sanity". And the good news? I’m making it available for a free download right now!

The Silent Killer: Anarchy in Your Business

Many of us believe we're in "controlled chaos". We even say we "thrive in chaos." But here's the truth bomb: chaos doesn’t make you sharper; it makes you blind. It's not a dramatic collapse; it's something far more common and dangerous: the decisions you never made. This silent killer—anarchy by default—is running your business, and you might not even realize it.

This isn't about being reckless or not caring. It’s about the subtle, quiet chaos that emerges when you don't have a real, written marketing strategy, or a clear definition of who owns it, or a decision to stop "winging it". You end up reacting instead of leading, chasing shiny objects, burning cash, and exhausting your team.

The symptoms are painfully familiar: constant fire-fighting, no clear priorities, departments working in silos, duplicated efforts, bottlenecked decision-making, and a culture of "just figure it out". If you're repeating the same chaos without progress, you’re not growing; you’re surviving.

The Cure: Strategy on Purpose

So, what's the answer? Strategy isn't optional; it's oxygen. It’s a deliberate plan of action designed to achieve specific long-term goals by aligning your resources, capabilities, and priorities to maximize effectiveness and minimize wasted effort. In simpler terms: it’s how you win on purpose—not by accident.

My book, "Anarchy by Default," is your wake-up call and your blueprint to killing this chaos once and for all. It's about bringing structure, leadership, and clarity back to your business.

What You'll Unlock with Your Free Download:

Inside "Anarchy by Default," you'll discover why your efforts aren't yielding the results you deserve and how to fundamentally shift your approach:

• The Real Cost of Not Having a Strategy: You’ll see why spending money on marketing without a strategy isn't investing, it’s gambling, costing you lost revenue, wasted time, burnout, and endless repetition of problems.

• The Power of the 5% Rule: Learn how to budget for marketing like a $100M brand, allocating 5% of your annual top-line revenue to sales and marketing as a baseline to create visibility and drive demand. This isn’t theory; it’s how high-performing companies operate.

• What a Real Sales and Marketing Strategy Looks Like: Stop confusing activity with strategy. I'll show you how to build a clear, measurable plan with defined goals, target audiences, a mapped sales process, and marketing that truly supports sales. Activity without direction is just noise.

• Culture Over Control: Discover why micromanagement kills sales and how building a strong sales culture attracts and retains top performers, fosters self-leadership, and turns goals into a team sport.

• Stop Blaming the Tools (and Your Vendors): The uncomfortable truth is, your vendors aren't failing you; your lack of leadership and a clear strategy often are. You'll learn why strategy comes first, and execution follows.

• Why Marketing Fails Without Sales Alignment: If your marketing and sales teams aren't chasing the same outcome, you're just spinning your wheels. I reveal how to achieve real alignment that eliminates guesswork and creates buy-in.

• Stop Waiting to Get Organized—Start with Strategy: The lie we tell ourselves is that we need to get organized first. But the truth is, you're too busy because you don't have a strategy. Learn to flip the script and make strategy your starting point.

• The CEO’s Dilemma: Leading vs. Scaling: You cannot scale a business if you’re stuck in the weeds, solving every problem yourself. The book shows you how to shift from operator to architect, empowering your team and building systems that allow your business to grow without your constant direct intervention.

• Strategy Without Overhead: Why a Fractional CSMO Might Be Your Smartest Hire: For many growing businesses, a full-time Chief Marketing Officer creates more problems than it solves. I introduce the concept of a Fractional Chief Sales & Marketing Officer (CSMO) who provides executive-level leadership, strategy, and accountability without the full-time price tag.

This book isn't about theory; it's about execution. It’s about building something that works without you, so you can stop reacting and start leading with confidence.

It’s Time to Take the Wheel

Growth isn’t an accident; it’s engineered. You don’t need more tools; you need the right playbook. This is your chance to kill the chaos, once and for all, and start growing with intention.

Ready to shift from surviving to scaling? Don't delay, strategy delayed is opportunity denied.
