What to do when you’re crippled by opportunity
We live in a blessed time, for sure. Absolute “nobodies” can create a social media account, YouTube channel, podcast, or blog, and start talking about anything and everything before a global audience. Most business opportunities can be started without so much as a...
Don’t Hit Goals—Build Habits
One of the best insights I’ve ever received (H/T Jason Fried) is that goals are, quite often, meaningless. We set arbitrary goals, and one of two things happens: We hit the goal, then set a new one immediately. We fall short of the goal, and beat ourselves up. This is...

Help! My Web Designer Stopped Answering (What to Do When Your Web Designer Ghosts You)
It’s crunch time. You’ve got a deadline looming or an important announcement to make, so you give a call to your friendly neighborhood website designer to get the work done. (You know, the guy or gal who built your site a year or two ago, but you haven’t spoken to...
