When you’re just starting out, most new entrepreneurs think it’s counterproductive to cater to a smaller audience because you will be turning away people that potentially could have become clients. I have an answer for that! When you’re just starting out, or if business is slow, you’re basically starting with nothing to very little. So, what’s the difference? Online businesses …
I often wonder how some people planned on making their business work. It seems that online businesses fail to work because they weren’t designed too. Because the entrepreneur did not understand what really makes it work. There are so many online businesses starting up and shutting down every day. It’s just as easy to fail as it is to start. …
Some of you might enjoy unexpected company, but it’s likely you don’t. These days uninvited guests are considered to be intrusive most of the time. But the kind I’m referring too can make growing your business a real struggle. The root cause of all of this of course is the niche you do business in. Even though we are trying …
Anyone can look at the title of this blog and with very little effort, think of some of the rewards of being consistent. But you know what the problem is?

In most copy or advertisements you can see the questions being asked of the consumer, “Do you suffer from (blank)?” and “Why are you paying …
I think short cuts and detours are two great terms/categories we should consider using more. They are exactly as described and I’m sure there are several things that could easily be filed in either one. Advice we may get from some business coaches might be marketed as a shortcut, but ultimately ends up being a detour. Unfortunately, some of our …
If there is one thing we consistently fail to do, it’s clean up after ourselves. We do our worst maintenance online. Even though it’s really easy to do, we still act like hoarders.
