High Performers have no time for drama
The bad news: I've told a lot of folks, over a long time, in a lot of companies, that the majority of good things they want to work on are likely not going to take priority or get done. And I can most assuredly tell you that it's never a great message people want to...
When you're hiring high performers, don't make this mistake
Do you remember the A Team? I don't know if you watched the A Team like I did. I would rush home after school, finish my homework, and see if I could be done in time to enjoy an episode of the A Team. In our house, you had to be done with today's homework,...
Should I charge annual Subscription Fees? Or monthly?
One of the most common questions I get about membership or subscription sites relates to not the price to charge but the interval to use for charging. Should someone charge monthly? Or should they charge annually? Of course, the logical answer is that it depends. But that makes for a pretty short and boring article....
High Performers need more than Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose
I love Dan Pink's Drive Dan Pink wrote a great book called Drive. It really is a fantastic read and I strongly recommend that you read it if you haven't. In the book, he highlights that engagement is often a by-product of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. He's highlighting that everything we know about employment and...

Pricing is all about Value
I hit a pipe with my drill... Have I told you about the time I tried to cut a hole in the wall, from a downstairs bedroom into the garage, that resulted in me drilling a hole in a water pipe that ended up pouring water (clean, thank God) into both the bedroom and my...
Who wants to go to WordCamp US for Free? Act now!
Who doesn't like free stuff? Seriously. Who isn't for it? I know I love getting deals. And I love free. Free airplane upgrades are pretty close to the top of my list. But I'll be honest, free ice cream at the end of a meal, that's pretty nice too. But what about a free trip?...
You won't help anyone if you're broke
The formula for profit is simple: make more than your costs. It's not hard to think about. Just like losing weight is pretty simple to think about: eat less than the calories you burn. Right? The math on both of these things is pretty simple. The formulas aren't the hard part When you look at...
You can share your landing page designs easily with Beaver Builder
You've seen landing pages like this before A landing page that collects an email in exchange for a free eBook download isn't something new or really all that interesting. Tons of products can make this--from themes, to hosted solutions, to fancier solutions that manage funnels, and if you're super cool, you likely already use my...
