Hey Robert,

Great question and I agree with Bruce about the material on this site.
Going through The Blueprint section of this site will clarify a lot of things for you.

And once you have done it for yourself you can help others do something similar.

Clarity is THE KEY to moving forward. If you don’t know EXACTLY where you’re going … any road…[Read more]

Thanks Sean, I think we all need to be reminded sometimes that nothing in life is handed to us.

It’s all to easy to forget how long and hard we worked to master something – after the fact.

You don’t have any idea how many times you fell to the floor before you learned to walk.
Or how about your day job, the school and training it took to get in…[Read more]

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]

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]

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]

Like Sean said above, I feel like this is more a choice than a habit – but habits begin with choice so (splitting hairs??)

One of my best habits is to create more content than I consume.

It became all too easy to spend my days reading, attending trainings, watching videos in all-out learning mode.

And because there was not outflow for all the…[Read more]

I think you are in good company, Sean!

As a rule of thumb, if you have not used it in a year you probably don’t need it.

This takes into account seasonal items that only come out once a year.

An exception would be things that you use, but not frequently (BUT you actually use them).

For example, one family I worked with has a sausage…[Read more]

Thanks Leslie, great questions.

I’ll tackle them one at a time before moving on to part 3.

1) I don’t want all my best stuff just getting posted within FB groups for all to see, I want my best stuff to be reserved for those joining my list.
I think the days are gone when you could give people just a taste and it would be enough for them to s…[Read more]
