Welcome!
Doreen here. :)
​
Back in the day, I started my marketing agency from the ground up with nothing other than sheer grit and the determination to create my own business and live life on my terms, whilst being in control of my income.
​
I had no capital, no funding, no partner to help pay the bills - it was all on me.
​
And I won't lie - it was freaking HARD - and for quite a while, too!
​
But it was so worth it.
​
Today, I'm happy to say that Fortissimo Marketing has grown into a successful and thriving, multiple six-figure business with a fabulous team, serving the best-fit clients for our brand, and I am just one of those crazy people who loves going in to work every day!
​
I'm super passionate about helping small businesses and startups because I've been there in the trenches, and I know how hard it is to work you butt off to figure it all out for yourself.
​
I put this program together to help people like you, who are where I was just a few years ago.
I want to share everything that has worked for my business as well as our agency clients, so you can short-cut the learning curve as much as possible and save yourself a ton of frustration and heartache along the way!
I've done my best to make this as simple for you as humanly possible.
You really won't need to do much more than watch the video tutorials and fill out the worksheets as you go, step by step.
​
Because marketing plays such a huge part in business growth, and because it's literally our job in the agency, to set up marketing systems for our clients that pretty much run on autopilot, most of what is in this program is marketing related.
You'll learn all the systems and hacks that we use in our day-to-day, which will make your life SO much easier than you having to spend precious time trying to figure it out for yourself!
By the sheer fact that our agency performs these tasks for our clients on a day to day basis, we've refined all the processes to be as time efficient as possible - and now I'm sharing these with you!
​
All the content in this program is geared towards helping you grow your business profitably, by attracting the right kind of clients for you, so it's all extremely practical. No fluff, no BS.
​​
But marketing isn't everything!
​
From my own experience, I've learnt that there are other factors that play into the successful business equation that might not be as obvious, or easily dismissed, such as mind-set, stress-management and actual business fundamentals like looking at (and understanding) your numbers regularly.
​
Fear not, though, we go through all of that.
And the best thing? You're not alone on this journey!
​
I created the Small Business Out Loud Facebook Community as a place where you'll be able to ask questions, share frustrations and get support from myself, my team, and your fellow members as well.
​
Because when you connect with other business owners and, in general, talk about your business to other people... that's where the magic happens.
​
(Hence the name!)
​
I hope you enjoy the program as much as I've enjoyed putting it together for you. It's something I'm truly passionate about because I love small business and believe everyone who has the guts to go out on their own should be able to live life on their terms, making the money they deserve.
​
Check out the success stories below and see for yourself what some of our members have been able to achieve by doing the things in the program.
​
Here's to your success, and I'll see you on the inside!

​
P.S. TLDR? This is a great program for anybody looking to grow their business by learning only the most practical marketing, sales and business strategies that have proven themselves time and time again!
​

Your business will grow when
more people know that you exist.
Can you relate...?
​
You run a small business (or are thinking of starting one) and are confused and overwhelmed by all the things you think you should be doing.
You want to attract more new clients and grow your business to the level where you're no longer worried about bills that need paying, and instead are finally enjoying the freedom you were hoping to achieve by going out on your own.
​
One of the biggest problems you most likely have is that not enough people in the market you serve, actually know that you and your business exists.
​
Because if they knew about you, they'd buy from you when the need arose, right?
​
Website. Social media. Calls. Meetings. Email marketing. SEO. Sales. Systems. Processes....
​
The to-do list just never ends, does it?
​
So, where do you even start?
​
And how do you fit all this growth stuff into your already insane schedule while you deliver for your existing customers?
​
