Consistency is Everything
Let's Talk About This Camel Imagine this camel wanted to be known for her ability to walk far without taking a sip. Is that what you see when you see her? (I don't know if she is a she, but go with me here.) Imagine this camel wanted to be known for how tall she...
Be The Same You Everywhere
We Started CaboPress Tonight... You know I publish daily. You know that each post is meant to help you - whether you're an eCommerce merchant, an online learning or membership person, a product developer, an agency owner, or just looking for business advice.

The Way To Hire Right
The Truth in Technology Hiring right now is crazy. I'm not talking about people who don't want to work, or anything like that. I'm talking about the fact, in technology, that it's crazy to try to find talented folks right now because everyone's looking and the competition is hot! But sometimes we look the wrong...
Did You Hear the LearnDash News?
The other day I wrote about the changing dynamics in the online learning and LMS space. I've been watching and working in that space since 1995, when we called it Computer Based Training (CBT). The Good Old Days Back then, and I'n not joking here, if you wanted a corporate training solution, you would hire...
Keep Learning, Keep Trying
The Age of Punch Cards When I was a kid I would go with my dad to his work at night sometimes. The room - something like 1500 square feet - was filled with cabinets that were computers. We're talking the early 1970's and he could only run the programs at night when the rest...

I'm not Tony Perez (the guy who says forget the plan, let's just do this!). But after years of planning, I'm come to one conclusion: there's no perfect moment. Deregulation & Pacific Bell...
Creating Your Own Event
In 2013 I Created CaboPress A few years ago I wrote about the strategy behind my CaboPress conference. And then I reviewed the results of these strategies. Tonight I got home from running the first version of the Skip the Grind conference, and I thought I would share some thoughts on why I am in...
On Lifetime Licenses
Today I bought a lifetime license to Infinity. If you use Asana, Trello, Notion, or Airtable, then Infinity will likely feel somewhat similar. One of the differences is that I could buy a lifetime license for 15 people for a single price of $349. But this isn't a post about Infinity. It's a post about...
Allyson Felix Sets Two Records at the Tokyo Olympics
\"Write Something For Me\" My daughter, 15 years old and getting ready to start her senior year in high school, said, \"write something for me to read today, dad.\" So I thought it would be helpful to tell her, and you, about Allyson Felix, the Olympian who set a record as the Track & Field...
