The business success arena has been littered with something super shameful lately… Profit Pornography. And guess what? It degrades and erodes reality in the same EXACT ways sex-based pornography does. Is it okay to explore this a little deeper? ESPECIALLY if it saves you tons of money and time and frustration business-wise? Great. Here we

When’s The Last Time You TRULY Grew Your Business?
I talk to business owners all day everyday regarding “growth” in their business. From time to time, when I’m hit between the eyes with real life examples of true growth — as I was this morning, I’m astounded at how limited our thinking about our businesses really is. Dan Kennedy used to say that you

Your Public Persona & Your Competition…
This week– in particular– has been a bad week for business owners… at least in my humble opinion. I’ve seen actual doctors running solo-businesses begging for emotional support on facebook. I’ve seen a therapist post what can only be described as a violent tantrum on her blog. And I’ve seen another expert “hinting” about her 5th

The Secret Behind Your Competitor’s Success
There’re fewer things more frustrating than seeing someone less experienced than you, with less knowledge, less integrity and less savvy than you succeeding wildly. ESPECIALLY when you (and they) are going after the same market of clients, customers, or patients. MOST ESPECIALLY when you see them making money hand over fist and that reality is

Disappointment Recovery Plan… For WHEN (not IF) You Experience Business Disappointment
Possible TMI alert: I hear other business owners complaining about “not knowing what to write” about their business, on their blogs, or to their list via their newsletter or social media. On mornings like this, I wish I had a LOT LESS to share. =) Look, I love my business. I love the event /

A Top Failure Strategy of Too Many Business Owners
Quick warning / plea: If you’ll permit me another Bible lesson for your business, I promise you’ll count it among one of the most beneficial things you’ll read all week. Even if you look at the Bible as simply a historical text, I can’t imagine not finding the truths within (like this one) extremely practical for
