James Brausch has an interesting situation on his hands and is asking for opinions. In short, CD Baby — the company that handles the CD distribution for his "Life Management 101" CD (which you do need to get!), has been running a contest. James wants to win and has applied his considerable marketing skills to [...]
I purchased a copy of The E-Myth Revisted by Michael E. Gerber back in April of this year (it’s almost September now) while in Chicago on a trip to visit my daughter and catch a training event. It sadly went into the pile beside my desk until yesterday, when I decided that the pile had [...]
I’ll be the first to admit that my spouse (a wife, in my case!) does not always agree with the day-to-day activities of my business. In her case, though, it’s usually life’s demands that make her this way. Like many, I’m building my business while I hold down a full-time job, so any business building [...]
For several reasons (which I won’t go into here) I have set up a “mini-office” in the corner of the living room. I use a laptop computer so it’s no problem to move back to my regular office should the need arise.
I already like it for one thing it has given me — the ability [...]
I can hear it now and it is an excuse. Call me an excuse-laden “loser” if you want because I’ve decided that integrity is more important than rushing stuff to market that goes against what I stand for.
My current project uses tables for the HTML page layout; however, I’ve become an advocate for standards-based web [...]
In my most recent post I talked about not needing yet another affiliate marketing ebook. As I was researching some other issues today I came across an old post on James Brausch’s blog which got me to thinking about the reason for purchasing products.
I think I’m going to be cutting back even more on my [...]
Yet another “how to make a small fortune off Clickbank ebook has hit the streets. This one’s called something like Affiliate Rock Star and I think it’s being promoted by Eric Rockefeller.
Two things. I think that most of Eric’s stuff is OK and I’ve come away with a positive impression of Eric from my contacts [...]
I just got another email “promoting” the Storm Worm Botnet crapware (those ones claiming that you’ve just received an e-card from somebody).
The criminals behind this operation are getting more clever with each passing day.
A few days ago, they started putting an email address after the name of the person that allegedly sent it. Today, I [...]
As I mentioned in my last post, I want to announce my goal.
I want to put it in writing.
I believe that putting it in black and white (or at least in electrons) will improve the probability of it happening.
Here it is:
I will have half a million US dollars by April 1, 2008.
Why? Because we plan [...]
Heavy opinions ahead, but I think it’s worth reading.
Earlier today, I made a post on the Friends In Business Forum in response to another post. That post mentioned an article that allegedly talked about things that can keep you from getting listed in the search engines. I basically explained that it was a waste of [...]
