Bruce- Like Sean said…you have some great insights. But I want to add another point. Marketers by nature tend to do what they do to benefit themselves instead of who they are supposed to be ‘serving’ and as you’ve noted the changes in algorithms is attempting to change that (and is actually doing a fair job at it). But you’re also right that…[Read more]

Tell it like it is Sean. Then let’s face it and get things done!

It really isn’t hard things we do (try digging ditches), it is just hard to do those things consistently and with interruptions when you may not always (actually pretty seldom) have a clear road to success laid out for you.

Just do it!

I have a cold, then do it
The rent is due,…[Read more]

Collectively, those stories would make a great book, Julia.

Think about the themes they each illustrate, and then make an outline.

If you want some help, then let me know. 🙂

I heard a great podcast today. I’m going to post the link in the Post Anything part of the site, but I’ve also included it here so that you have it.

Jonathan Cronstedt talks about what great course material looks like, and how it helps customers.

Some things, like reference books, car battery chargers – anything that is there in case of a crisis or emergency – you probably ought to hold onto.

Other things that you haven’t used for some time need to be evaluated.

You need to be practical about it; not just ruthless. If you think that you’re likely to use it in the coming year, then it…[Read more]

Not sure what your question is, Julia.

If you want to create a clickable signature for this forum, then go to Members, find your name, and then edit your profile.

Another way to help you with this is to use a page builder.

There will be a widget for images, and you’ll be able to define the size of the box that the pictures go in so that they’ll be uniform.

Not all page builders are created equal, however. We use SiteOrigin at work. I don’t like it. The tutorials are pretty much a waste of time, too. The…[Read more]

Hi Robert,

There are two things that are missing from your offer.

The first one is why you’re doing it. The best way to understand this in the short term is to look up Simon Sinek on YouTube.

If you can grasp what he says, then after some thought you’ll be able to figure this out. But it won’t be obvious.

I’m writing an ebook about this topic…[Read more]

Hi Les,

I’ve given a lot of public presentations.

The most important thing is preparation.

When you think you have it all together, then stand at a table with your notes in front of you, and present to the wall or the empty room out loud, just as if you’re doing it, all the way through.

Make whatever changes you need to to your notes.

An hour…[Read more]

It doesn’t sound like anger to me, Sean.

Leave it up. 🙂

About three years ago, I bought a van in Bowling Green KY. I spent the night with my oldest son and his wife there. We went out to eat with his inlaws (one of which has since died), picked up the van, spent the night, went to revival meeting the next day at my home town Church nearby.

At that time I was still drinking Pepsi.

He had bought a six…[Read more]

I first read this on my phone and didn’t see the 90 days part and assumed it was a month, which added to the What??? factor.

Still, 90 days seems like a tall order, but I think it is great to ask these “what if” questions, they often lead to breakthroughs.

If the average independent marketer could do this and the subscribers be in alignment with…[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]
