Facebook And Phalluses

Loyal viewers will know that I’ve talked about Facebook before on Daily Genius (Hell, I talked about it yesterday) and today I found myself talking a lot about it today, too. Whether it’s something as simple as pinning a post to the top of your business page, or discussing how best to issue calls to […]

Hotelier Than Thou

Seeing is believing, and a video is worth a million words. One of the challenges for any small business owner is getting yourself out into the market. How do people know you exist? And, short of hiring your own camera guy to follow you around all day, that can be a tough issue to tackle. […]

The Mapstermind

Today’s episode is all about strategy. Whether that strategy is about building sales funnels, using the Rockefeller habits to do quarterly planning, or more effectively exposing your employees to your company culture *COUGH* Jarvis *COUGH*, you’ll pick up a thing or two. Special thanks to Kathy Yuen of Phase One Design for the cool ice […]

I Want To Be A Movie Star

Part of our latest quarterly plan for Measurable Genius is to build ourselves a funnel. We’ve done this a few times for our clients, and now it’s time to make one ourselves. Easier said than done, though. What would go into our own funnel? I, for one, want a cool movie. Today I talked about […]

E-COMMERCE AND FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

One of the brand promises we have a Measurable Genius is that we hold space. That’s important in any service industry, but especially when you’re working with entrepreneurs. Building a business is a minefield of stress, and there are many times when I play a role in helping our clients navigate that stress … while […]

CHALLENGE WEEK

Business is hard as all hell, and I know that better than most because I’ve been doing this for 17 years. Sometimes you have the ups, and sometimes you run into… challenging weeks – and during those times you can’t give up. That’s the key difference between those who fail at business and those who […]

ISN’T IT OBVIOUS?

You ever had one of those fucking Mondays? Yeah. Me too. On today’s episode, I discuss the video blog with Warren and Everett, struggle through a sales meeting with Jen, and give some insight about running a services business to Doug.

EVERYONE NEEDS A LANDING PAGE(S)

One thing I find myself recommending to my clients over and over again is the idea of a landing page to capture the traffic they’re buying from ad platforms like Facebook(TM) and Google. If you’re running paid ads, you need to have an idea of where you want to send that traffic and what you […]

SPOOKY SCARY GENIUSES

Webinars are a strategy that I have seen work for coaches, speakers, and seminar leaders time and time again. And, like everything else, you don’t need to do them perfectly the first time around. The most important step is the first one, and if you delay that constantly by trying to be perfect, you’ll never […]

SELL YOUR STORY

The core to any business is selling things. That much is obvious. And when you’re a service company, you’ve got to sell yourself. Or, at least, sell a story about yourself. “Hi! Do you have X problem? Then we have X solutions!” Solving for X is the hard part. Finding a story, an identity, that […]
