Geniuses Speak Out

One of the great things about having a video blog is the transparency – you guys get to see how I handle all sorts of situations. One of the not-so-great things is that you guys only end up with bite sized pieces of who I am and form opinions about me without having the opportunity […]

Perfectionism is Obstructionism

If you want to have a better business, you need to become a better business owner. Seems obvious, right? But here’s the part that many business owners don’t realize – that philosophy also holds true for every member of their organization. Think about it: would you get more momentum from everyone in your business becoming […]

Defend Your Culture

Many business owners think the primary asset of their company is the product or service that they provide. . As in, if they were to sell their business, the thing that would be worth the most to investors is the actual work that business does. . Undoubtedly, that is a factor. But it isn’t the […]

Hiring is a Favour

Hiring is a Favour

Firing someone is one of the most difficult things a business owner can do. And that’s perfectly understandable. There’s a lot of emotion wrapped up in it. Having said that, it is an absolutely necessary activity for a business owner. And the better you get at it, the better your organization will be. Why? Because […]

Skip The Plan

Skip The Plan

Maybe your track record with goal-setting isn’t the greatest. It’s hard. It’s something you have to work at every day. Even if you miss a day, just get up and try again.

Punctuated Progress

Punctuated Progress

The Art of Being Dissatisfied

The Art of Being Dissatisfied

I really, really don’t want to wait. But I will, because waiting is the right thing to do. The funny thing is that there are a lot of business owners out there rushing and hustling and in a persistent state of urgency…but if they slowed down for a moment, they’d got more work done. How […]

World Building

World Building

I’m going to re-brand “content marketing” as “worldbuilding.” Each of the people who experience your content experience a completely different world in their minds’ eye. That storytelling is something that we can become a part of, if we choose to be, as marketers. We have the opportunity to build a sense of culture and a […]

Seeing The Big Picture

Seeing The Big Picture

Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jason Anderson of Boulevard Exteriors and reviewing some upcoming changes to his website. We chatted pictures, selling doors, and faxes. Yes, faxes. And before you ask, yes, I still use that technology. Do you folks still use it? Let me know in the comments. Also Warren […]
