I have at least 10 posts to finish up and publish.  What I’m realizing lately and especially since I don’t keep this blog up-to-date is that you only have so much time to get everything handled.  I don’t do this for you, the reader.  I do it for me.  Honestly, I don’t care if anyone [...]

I said it once and I’ll say it again, businesses fail because they either have a crappy manager or a flawed business plan that should have been discovered before the first “brick” was layed.  However, businesses also fail becuase they are not sufficiently capitalized. The capitalization costs associated with your startup are something that should [...]

All the good ones are gone, right?  Not exactly.  A buddy of mine makes $200/day with an absolutely ridiculous domain name.  He registered it years ago, threw up some CJ links and just left it alone.  Now, he is the exception for sure.  He has some really amazing one word domains from 1995 or so.

I’ve been ranting to anyone who’ll listen for years that I absolutely hate voice mail.  For the past couple of years, I have actually waited as long as possible or until my mailbox was full before I’d listen to my messages.  Interestingly, my mom is the only one who realizes she can call me and [...]

I just watched one of the funniest videos I’ve seen on the Internet in years.  Check out TheWebsiteIsDown.com for Web Dude vs. Sales Guy to get an idea of what the hell goes on when you call tech support.  Note there is some fould language and a possibly offensive graphic near the end.  Enjoy!

I feel like I’ve written a lot about legal issues.  Again, I am not a lawyer so when confronted with these issues be sure to consult one.  However, I deal with this stuff so often, I feel compelled to share.  Ultimately, lawyers help us define business terms in a way that protects us from all [...]

Wow.  I completely forgot how much effort writing all the time can be.  That said, I need to manage my time between my day job, my startup and my family better. This week is off to a roaring start on all fronts.  I’m juggling three different initiatives and all have substantial momentum.  I wish I [...]

This is day job stuff, but it’s good advice.  If you are trading documents between a couple parties, it pays to check the document properties.  This can be especially true if one of those parties is unnamed. Today, I was looking through a contract from an agency that would not disclose their partner prior to [...]

So, I’ve loaded up my first campaign and have some early results.  Actually, I loaded it up a few weeks ago and got a little gun shy before pulling the Adwords trigger.  Basically, I was distracted and came back to it.  Interestingly, I’m actually seeing some organic traffic right in my keyword wheelhouse and it’s converting at about [...]

Amit over at SuperAffiliateMindset is authoring a three part series titled “Why 2% of Affiliates Rake in 95% of the Profit…“.  I just finished reading the first installment.  The series is free (as in beer) and the first installment offers some great insight into creating the right mindset to ignite your business growth.
