Going Into Labor
7 Sep 2010No, my wife isn’t going into labor 13 weeks early. Instead, it’s time for me to truly get down to work. As I mentioned in my post yesterday, Labor Day in my eyes is viewed as a fresh start. It’s the first day of the rest of your working life, regardless of what happened yesterday. [...]
Learning To Swim
3 Sep 2010Have you ever bought a product from someone that promised something like instant wealth and business success in a short period of time? We’re willing to invest insane amounts of money into products and training programs that promise immediate and instant results. This is the reason the entire late-night infomercial world exists. It’s the reason [...]
Time & Money
In: Business
28 Aug 2010Most advertisements focus on saving us money. They say things like 10% off – or buy one get one free. And some ads tell us they’ll save us both time and money. And while we all love to save money, most of us are actually far more interested in saving time. It’s the one thing [...]
The Big Bad Wolf
26 Aug 2010There’s a common scenario played out over and over again in effective marketing and advertising campaigns, and it’s a neat little trick to have in your marketing arsenal. The trick is to position yourself as the underdog against the big bad wolf. Great copywriters have been using this trick for a long time, now it’s [...]
The products we remember, or the reasons we return to the same restaurant time after time, or why we chose someone to do our taxes instead of the other guy, or why we return to the same auto mechanic repair shop for our repairs. Many times, it’s not because they have better service , or cheaper prices. [...]
The Foghorn
23 Aug 2010During our trip to Newfoundland last summer, we heard the most beautiful and magnificent foghorns along the coast that warned incoming ships of potential danger. If you’re the captain of a ship in the midst of a dense fog and you hear a foghorn, you need to realize that it’s being blown for a reason. [...]
French Toast
In: Business|Time & Money
18 Aug 2010I take around four to six eggs and crack them into a bowl. Next, I add a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of salt, and one cup of milk. Then I add my secret ingredient that is one, or sometimes two, fresh vanilla beans. I split the vanilla bean down the middle, and scrape out [...]
Who says you can’t do that? It’s becoming clear to me that one of the greatest secrets to a successful business, and success in every other aspect of life for that matter, is doing things that don’t just go against the grain, but doing things that totally disrupt the status-quo. The biggest successes, the ones [...]
Your A-Team
In: Business
11 Aug 2010In the old days, if you wanted to increase your business, all you had to do was hire and pay a handful of salesmen and build a sales team. Your salesman would go door-to-door, or cold-call, or create direct mail pieces to mail out to your mailing list. They would work 9-5 and attempt to [...]
On the Side
10 Aug 2010A question I’m often asked is, “How did I go from being a jobless university graduate, to an employee in the marketing field working for two great organizations, to successfully working for myself for the past five years?” The answer is simple. Instead of waiting for the right opportunity, or the best time in my [...]
