I wrote a guide to escape the "marketing theory trap" for founders and solo marketers.

Hey IH,

I've noticed a common pattern with founders and marketers learning on their own: they consume tons of content (blogs, podcasts, tutorials) but struggle to translate it into actual growth. They get stuck in the "theory trap."

This leads to a lack of confidence and wasted time on tactics that don't move the needle.

To solve this, I put together a comprehensive guide based on a 4-step framework: Learn, Apply, Test, Refine. It's focused on building practical, provable skills, not just memorizing concepts.

It covers:
A process for effective self-assessment.
How to practice marketing with no budget (perfect for bootstrappers).
My take on the free vs. paid learning debate.

I think it could be really valuable for anyone here handling their own marketing. Hope it helps you bridge the gap between knowing and doing.
