If you’re a marketer or business owner, you probably don’t wake up thinking,
“I hope someone gives me more marketing advice today.”
You’re more likely thinking:
- “How do I focus? There’s so much to do.”
- “How do I stop reacting and actually follow a plan?”
- “How do I grow – without burning out?”
You’re not alone.
Most of the marketers and leaders I meet are not suffering from a lack of information.
They’re suffering from a lack of support, clarity, and community.
As we step into 2026, I believe the most powerful decision you can make for your marketing is this:
Stop trying to do it all alone, and start surrounding yourself with the right people.
In this post, I’ll share why community matters more than another “top 10 trends” article, how greatness and marketing belong together, and how the Powerful Marketers Hub can support you if you’re ready for a more intentional year.

Why marketing feels heavier every year
Modern marketing is not “just posting on social media.”
You’re dealing with:
- Constant algorithm changes
- Pressure to be “everywhere” at once
- Short-term expectations from management or clients
- The need to prove ROI, often with limited resources
- Your own doubts: “Am I doing this right?”
On top of that, your feeds are full of confident voices telling you:
“If you’re not doing X, you’re already behind.”
No wonder so many marketers quietly feel:
- Overwhelmed
- Isolated
- Under-valued
- Afraid of burning out (or already on that path)
The answer isn’t to consume more content.
The answer is to change who you’re surrounded by and how you work.
Information vs. community: what actually changes your results
Information is everywhere.
Transformation needs context, feedback, and support.
Think about it:
- You already know you “should” have a clear strategy.
- You already know you “should” focus on fewer, better channels.
- You already know you “should” measure what matters.
But when you’re alone in the day-to-day chaos, “should” doesn’t change much.
A good marketing community helps you:
- Turn ideas into concrete plans for your business
- See your blind spots and patterns
- Stay accountable when life and work get busy
- Feel less crazy – because others face the same challenges
That’s why I built The Greatest Marketer framework: to give overwhelmed marketers and leaders a clear, human system to work smarter, not harder:
- Mindset – changing the story you tell yourself about marketing
- Strategy – aligning marketing with real business goals
- Marketing implementation– protecting your time, energy, and nervous system
- Communication – building real relationships, not just reaching
- Leadership – growing yourself and others, so you’re not alone
But even the best framework needs a place to live and breathe. That place is a community.

Greatness in marketing: you don’t have to choose between impact and wellbeing
For years, I’ve followed leaders like Lewis Howes who talk about greatness, self-worth, healing, and the courage to pursue meaningful goals without burning out.
Those ideas influenced how I think about marketing.
I don’t believe “greatness” is only for athletes or motivational speakers.
I believe every marketer can be “great” in their own lane:
- Great at protecting their energy and values
- Great at serving their clients and customers
- Great at building aligned, sustainable growth
And here’s the beautiful part: no one does that alone.
One of the people who has modelled this for me is Frank Agin – a long-time supporter of our Powerful Marketers community and someone who has also been part of Lewis Howes’ journey. Frank’s philosophy, “Connection is the new currency of influence,” is something I deeply share.
It’s also why I’m incredibly proud and grateful that Frank chose to endorse my book, The Greatest Marketer, on the back cover. That endorsement is not “look at me” – it’s a reminder that we all rise faster and safer when we support each other.
And that’s exactly what I want for you.

The Powerful Marketers Hub: a home base for intentional marketers
If The Greatest Marketer is the map, then the Powerful Marketers Hub is the gym and the hiking group.
It’s where we:
- Turn the 5 steps into concrete actions in your business
- Give you space to think, plan, and ask questions
- Keep you inspired and grounded when things get chaotic
Inside the Hub, you’ll find:
1. A curated, safe community
No shouting, no show-off contests, no “fake it till you make it” culture.
Just marketers, business owners and leaders who want to:
- align their marketing with their goals,
- grow sustainably,
- and support each other honestly.
2. Practical sessions and “make it happen” spaces
We don’t just talk about strategy or mindset in theory.
We:
- review real plans and campaigns,
- break down what’s working (and why),
- and give you simple tools you can copy and adapt.
You don’t have to figure out everything alone at your kitchen table at 11 PM.
3. “Voices for marketers” – better input, less noise
Instead of sending you a list of 100 podcasts and books, we highlight a few truly valuable voices and connect them back to your daily reality.
For example, we might explore:
- What you can learn from a Lewis Howes episode about self-worth,
- how a networking principle from Frank Agin can shape your client relationships,
- and how all of that fits inside The Greatest Marketer framework.
You get depth, not overwhelm.
Is the Powerful Marketers Hub for you?
The Hub might be a great fit if you:
- Are you a marketer, entrepreneur or leader who feels busy but not aligned
- Are tired of trying to “do it all” without support
- Want your marketing to feel sustainable, strategic, and human
- Believe that community and conversation are just as important as tools and tactics
And yes – whether or not you’ve read The Greatest Marketer yet, you’re welcome.
The Hub is designed to support the book and go beyond it.

Starting 2026 intentionally: a small reflection
Before you open another “top trends in marketing” report, try this:
- Write down three names – people, communities or “voices” who truly helped you grow in 2025.
- Write down three situations where you felt most overwhelmed or alone in your marketing.
- Ask yourself honestly: “Do I want to repeat that dynamic for another year – or is it time to get support?”
If your answer is “It’s time for something different,”
I’d love to invite you into the Powerful Marketers Hub.
Because you don’t need to become a machine to be effective.
You don’t need to sacrifice your well-being to grow.
And you definitely don’t have to walk into 2026 alone.
You’re allowed to build marketing – and a life – that feels aligned, sustainable and supported.
And we’d be honoured to be the community that walks that journey with you.
Curious about the Powerful Marketers Hub? Join us and start 2026 with better voices, clearer plans, and a community that truly understands marketing from the inside out.
