To build an empire takes more than one person. It doesn’t matter if you’re a solo entrepreneur, a solo blogger, a solo musician or artist. To truly build an empire takes more than the soloist you may be – it takes a team. From a solo point of view, that can mean a variety of… [Continue Reading]
Towards the end of last year, my friend Michael Schechter was kind enough to invite me to chat on his 2×4 series. The idea behind 2×4 is simple: one series that examines two topics, creativity and productivity, by asking those who make things on the web the same four questions on both subjects. I had a blast answering Mike’s questions, and thought it’d… [Continue Reading]
Take a moment and ask yourself these two questions: – How are we encouraging hope in those around us? – How are we helping to grow the leaders of tomorrow? I once wrote about the roles of companies needing to team-build differently, and I think some of the ideas mentioned in that post can help. But… [Continue Reading]
In life, we often place merit on someone by the job they have. We may not mean to, but it’s no real fault of ours if we do – it’s been ingrained from us almost since we could walk. Parents tell us to get an education, or we won’t get a good job. Teachers tell… [Continue Reading]
Want to know the only marketing tip you’ll ever need? People. Want. Things. That’s it. It can be anything – good luck charms; medicines; food; drink; news; shoe polish. Anything. With the exception of air, everything else costs. So there’s a need to be filled. How you fill that need is where the difference comes… [Continue Reading]
No, this isn’t an ego post. It’s not driven by, “Oh, I really need to impress that Scottish/Canadian/Brit (what the heck is he??) Danny Brown guy.” Screw that – ego is for chumps (hat tip Shannon Boudjema for the phrase). But you seriously don’t need to impress me. I’m not your life mate. I’m not your boss. I’m… [Continue Reading]
We all have them. Bad days that make us wonder why we do what we do, whether in our own business or for our employer. Or we wonder why we’re with our partners when we have an argument. Or we see the size of our email inbox and wish we could just skip the day… [Continue Reading]
In public, people say and do things to build a perception of them. Some of this is calculated; some, natural. After all, perception is everything. It gets you work; clients; a promotion; a date; a raise; and more. No-one wants to be perceived as anything but awesome, so they build the perception about them carefully.… [Continue Reading]
Most people have probably heard the story of how Jesus fed 5,000 people with just five fish and two loaves of bread. It’s one of the most popular tales from the Bible and whether you’re religious or not, it’s likely you’ve heard it. What does it tell us? That success isn’t dictated by numbers. You… [Continue Reading]
I took this picture on the way to a meeting the other day. As you can see, the lady driving the car has her little dog right up front with her in the driver’s seat. Because we were driving (and I know how some of our local drivers are – think New York cabbies!), I… [Continue Reading]
