Celebrating What's Important
Tomorrow I'll turn 51. Thankfully, I have all the gifts I could ever want. The friendships I've made have not only sustained me but been blessings in my life over the last pair of decades. But life wasn't always this good. In my twenties I was hungry - eager to make my mark on the...
Predicting the Future
Predicting the Future is Impossible Predicting the future is impossible and will only highlight how wrong you are. Right? I mean, I'm the guy who said, once on a podcast, that the only thing you could know for certain about what could and couldn't be sold online was mattresses. Boy was I wrong. There are...
Running Multiple WordPress Sites for One Business
Remember When I Told You About Courses on a Subdomain? A bit ago I wrote about running your course on a subdomain and how to sell on one site, and then run the course on another. I used the power of Uncanny Automator to make the magic happen. Well now I'm thinking about another subdomain...
Improving Your WordPress Site's Performance
Let's Say You Wanted to Lose Weight We're going to talk about your WordPress Site's performance, but first let me walk you thru a thought exercise. Imagine you wanted to lose weight.

Networking is Your Secret Weapon

There's also a long list (that never gets shorter) of things you should be doing to help your business grow. Even companies that are doing well never seem...
The Market Is Never Too Crowded

So I designed the document and then took the text and placed it onto the design. Then I learned Aldus Pagemaker and did multi-page layouts using it. This...
Recruiting New Employees?
I've spent the last few weeks recruiting new employees. That's what happens when one of your key folks gets a great offer elsewhere. And when you buy a company and decide you're going to grow the marketing and development teams. It's late tonight, so this post won't be super long. But I just wanted to...
Most Employees Are Waiting
When employees were asked if they could answer positively that they felt like their job provided them a regular opportunity to work from their strengths (and passions), only 2 out of 10 could agree. Twenty percent. The other eighty percent of our employees are waiting to be challenged or inspired. That feels depressing, right? It...
Embrace Your Uniqueness
I don't write a lot of posts like this one, where my focus is to point you to stuff I've already written, but there's a reason this is top of mind. My daughter is applying to college this weekend. She wants to stand apart from everyone else. She wants to get accepted. And she's heard...
