I’M RITA SUZANNE

April is when it all started. I left my corporate job, sold most of my belongings and moved across the country with my young boys and then husband. I started my marketing business immediately.

I had something to prove…to myself and everyone who said I should go get a job. There were so many things I didn’t know about building sustainable systems, so I kept learning and wouldn’t quit no matter what.

Not when I got a divorce. Not when my son suddenly developed epilepsy. Not even when I had a negative bank balance.

I struggled with my business continuously as growth went up and down. I was always profitable but I wasn’t marketing systematically. I thought it was because I was a little introverted, had a fear of rejection or a big dose of anxiety.

The real issue is that I was treating marketing like a collection of random tactics instead of a strategic system. I was working nonstop but living the entrepreneurial equivalent of feast or famine. That was until I started developing strategic frameworks that actually worked.

I had my best year in business until…

That January was the worst of my life. A week after my birthday I found out my husband was unfaithful. Two weeks later my baby sister unexpectedly passed away. An event that devastated our entire family.

Covid restrictions kicked in with my heartbreak and grief in March. In May I filed for my second divorce and custody of my two nieces making me a single mom of four.

Still trying to hold everything together, I isolated myself and experienced the worst two years in my business.

As I struggled through the process of rebuilding, I realized one thing for certain – I had to create systems that worked even when I couldn’t. One day I realized that I desperately wanted to know how other business owners were able to maintain consistent visibility without sacrificing themselves like I was doing.

I started developing and testing strategic visibility frameworks that could run without constant attention. It was then that I discovered the power of systematic local marketing. But I was still trying to figure out how to make it repeatable until I took a step back from everything.

It was then that I realized who I needed to help…local business owners just like me. Owners who were trying to achieve growth and authority without being burned out by endless marketing tasks.

I understood that it wasn’t just trying to do everything that was creating the pressure and overwhelm, it was the lack of strategy. Lack of systematic approaches. Lack of proven frameworks. Lack of sustainable visibility systems.

And so I developed the Local Marketing Method – a strategic approach to help you break the cycle of inconsistent visibility once and for all, plus Learn Local Marketing for those who want to implement proven strategies themselves.
