I just returned from the Successful Online Business Conference (SOBCon) and I have far too many takeaways to even try and share them all in one post. Instead, on the drive home today I searched for the most significant takeaway; the one that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Big Hairy … [Read more...]
The value of thinking
In business there are two main activities: thinking and doing. There is a tendency to place too much value on doing and not enough value on thinking. People like doctors and lawyers, who first and foremost we perceive as thinkers, bill for their services by the hour or procedure. Most value exchange … [Read more...]
How a hiatus helped me get my groove back
It's been about four weeks since I published a post here. I'm just going to spill why and hope it makes sense to you and that you can take a nugget or two away to use in your own life and business. At the end of March, I was overwhelmed. I'd bitten off more than I could temporarily chew and … [Read more...]
Hiatus
You might have noticed that I didn't publish a post on this site last Friday or Monday of this week. There's a good reason for that.

Political polarization In the White House, we have a president who made some big decisions since he was elected. The Governor of … [Read more...]
What to do when there's too much to do
Today, I offer up a guest post from my editor Shelby Sapusek. This piece was written earlier this month as we set out to launch SheHe Media and added a few clients at the same time. It's stayed just as busy and reading her post as I get it ready for publication has helped me keep it all in … [Read more...]
