Hey Bruce,

That should give you a break from PreneurPal then…lol..although the input to this group might therefore drop somewhat!

Good luck with the move my friend. It can be a stressful time.

Sean,

I will be making initial preparations for my first official speech, that I will be giving to a Speaking club I have joined. It is only going to be 5 minutes long, but that is a lot longer than it seems when one is stood up in front of a bunch of people who, while very supportive, are also analyzing in order to provide feedback on my effort.…[Read more]

How do you keep the sand and salt out of your computer? 😉

Days like that, Sean, are wonderful.

They’re anchors in the storm of life.

They’re monuments to God’s faithfulness that we can look back to when we’re struggling.

I can see, from re-visiting these posts, how easily I forget what I’ve suggested to other people.

Often, I feel like I’m living in two parallel lives.

There’s the one where I’m doing all the things that I want to do, and then there’s the one where everything changes almost as soon as I get out of bed. LOL

In order to make 80/20 work in the way…[Read more]

Great insight, Julia.

I like the idea of trying to create more content than I consume.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the more I read, the more I want to write.

This has been particularly frustrating in the day job because there I’m reading constantly, trying to stay up on what’s happening on the Internet, all the while working with no budget,…[Read more]

Getting ready to move in a couple of days.

I don’t have much stuff. Everything will fit into a van, but the main thing is that I won’t have an Internet connection for a couple of weeks.

I’ll have to do everything online in the office (day job).

On the one hand, I’m looking forward to that.

No TV, no Internet, and even the cellphone won’t work…[Read more]

Something that I think most people have missed is that Google, Facebook, YouTube – all platforms, for that matter – have agendas that are different from those of IM-ers or anyone else who is trying to monetize their space.

Perhaps it can be thought of like this: In the UK, they speak of working at “cross-purposes.” It means that people who are…[Read more]

I have been home sick for 6 days – but while I am able to be up and thinking I have been spending time learning about how to make a proper website and plugins, hosting etc. Whew it is Overwhelming, But kind of exciting.
I had gotten some folks a while back that were supposed to help me with all the techy stuff and I was so underwhelmed – that I…[Read more]

I am older hate change and learning new stuff BUT
in order to success I got to change that – so reckon everything is Figure-outable.

Steve,

you are so right . . having a low ticket product is better than none at all.

there are many price points that work well, and just because I take the time to explain how to sell at, say $1000 or $2000 or $35,000 or $100 doesn’t mean that $10 or $200 or $400 doesn’t work.

One big key with a low ticket product is that it makes a GREAT buyer…[Read more]

What a great thread. Concerning your quote Sean, I’ve heard it called “clean-slate” thinking and have attended a seminar several past-year’s Decembers where we plan out the upcoming year while leaving the failures of the past behind.

This gives you free reign to map out where you want to go without old limitations.

Great insights from Both Bruce and Sean! There is one thing that probably could be said here for those reading it all… Launching a product at a lower price is better than not having anything out there at all because you’re working on getting it worthy of charging more. Sean is right that it makes a great buyer lead. It also helps eliminate…[Read more]

Scott, great insight . . and you are so right, an evolving internet requires evolving strategies.

There have been HUGE changes just the last few weeks.

You probably know that a few weeks ago facebook changed their algorithm.

Google is changing some parts of their ad algorithm soon.

And that is just the advertised algo changes.

Some folks are…[Read more]

Your past contains mistakes, and struggles and failures.

And sometimes those failures hold us back from DOING more in the future – and then hogtie us from success.

But if we leave that past behind and ask ourselves how we can create a new future . . .

what could you create this year if you leave the shadows of the past behind?

One real key here is that you must have people coming to your site and engaging . . .

just putting content on the site won’t create engagement – even if it’s good.

So there has to be a combination of inviting folks to your site from where they are online (facebook, other forums, other sites) AND writing content (or creating videos) that they like.
