I solved this problem by buying another cable and a charger to go in the car.

Hi Tina,

There’s now a Post Anything part of the forum.

When you get a chance, can you reread this part of the thread, and then write a post that describes your experience?

Bruce

Hope you are better now Bruce.

I guess I cope by fighting it.

Illness can be pretty brutal and at best limits you and at worst shuts you down. Last year I had three eye surgeries and with activity restrictions I lost a lot of productivity, not to mention physical fitness as I gained a few pounds. This year I had a week with a bad stomach bug,…[Read more]

I hope that you’re continuing to improve, Norma.

No need to name names. Just think about it, but is there someone in this forum that you could work with to help you with some of your more immediate challenges?

If so, then PM them.

If not, then why not ask a question that describes the kind of help that you need?

The last several days have had to flow.

I moved about a month ago, but only got Internet yesterday.

So there was getting used to that.

It was really quiet. No music, except in the office.

I’ve been home most of this week. There’s too much snow and ice on the ground to travel. I’m expecting to be here for the rest of the week, too.

But for the…[Read more]

Sean said this the other day.

You’re first product will be your worst one.

And your first book, though it may be good, won’t be as good as the second.

The third will be better than the first or the second.

The fourth will be better than the first three.

If you’ve written one book and, because it didn’t sell well, have given up, then you need…[Read more]

One of the problems with fear is that it feeds a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You’ve probably heard that you get more of what you focus on. The reason is because the more you look at anything, the more of it you’re able to see, and the more of other things that look like it you can see.

We’re all afraid to a certain extent; but you have to accept…[Read more]

“The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy” (Cal Newport, Deep Work, p. 14, italics author’s).

I decided that the topic may have been to vague for most people, and so I’ve extended it to stimulate your imagination.

Here’s your schedule for the the week: Monday (2 hours); Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, you get 90 minutes.

How will you spend your time?

There’s a web site and app called Coffivity that will give you the sounds of a coffee shop without you actually having to be in one.

You can choose between times of the day, too.

Whatever you call it, Les, you have to be able to write persuasively; and it can’t be a hard sell.

If people feel that you’re the protagonist, they’ll defend their position, and they won’t buy.

You have to get alongside of them. They have to feel that you know what they’re thinking, and that you agree with them.

You don’t have to be a…[Read more]

I hated HostGator. They made it incredibly difficult to do anything except send them money.

I was with BlueHost for years. Then a friend offered to put my sites on his server for free. So now I’m with SiteGround.

SiteGround’s customer support seems to be better than BlueHost.

70% of my request have been unanswered.

I’ll leave them there.

No harm done and, when it’s important, they might reply.

And so far, apart from showing a little extra interest, accepting or not accepting a friend request has made very little difference in this forum.

Sean’s suggestion to read the book ONE THING changed how I do things. Now I don’t have a list of 20 things but just 1 to make me feel like I accomplished something worth while. And it is amazing when you do things that way how often the one thing gets done and you can move on to something else that would probably be tomorrow’s one thing and you…[Read more]

After today’s coaching call, it’s to review my comments in PP and a lot of messages that you and I have had, and figure out a system that encompasses the big ideas as much as possible.

Then codify it, write a book, and get this show on the road!

Many years ago, I read that no one really predicts how people will use technology. For example, you may recall (or read) that Bill Gates said something along the lines of no one ever needing more than 64 MB of memory. (Something like that.)

Now couple that with the well-known psychological principle that “you get the behavior that you…[Read more]

Sean is right…Google doesn’t care about YOU…Google cares about Google’s bottom line. But it all then goes back to a couple things.
If you create content that benefits your readers, Google will rank you and you’ll benefit along with your readers. And…even though Google might have ads that show up ahead of your organic search engine your…[Read more]

Thanks Steve, for the feedback!

I was a little frustrated with that builder, but a little time with their tech support and I updated it pretty quickly.

It’s now also MUCH MORE in line with my signature program as this week I’ve been focusing on my main area of training and what I want to be known for in 2018.

I’d love any feedback on the new sq page.

Hi Kristin,

I have made a few observations on the three blog posts currently on your website. I have sent you an email.
