[with audio] Asking For Help Before You Hit Zero
Recently my wife fractured her pelvis, and yes, she’s still laid up in bed for a few more weeks, my poor sweetheart. It’s a hairline fracture, and she’s mostly not in pain, but she can’t do much, even so. Oy gevult! If you have any prayers and good thoughts to send our way, we’ll receive […]

Time to Stop Getting Ready
Last week we sent out an “I’m curious” email to the 1000 or so folks who had joined our Expand Your Reach mini-series but who had not enrolled in our six-month program asking a simple question: “You joined the mini-series, what keeps you from jumping into the full program?” We received over 200 responses, and […]

What it *really* means to reach more people

Video- A Tale of Two Clients
When I talk with clients about expanding their reach, it’s easy for them to -freeze- and feel overwhelmed by what they *think* that means. How do you even approach people? Should you approach people who are really influential with lots of followers? How does it really work? In this short video, I want to talk […]

We’re Hiring! With A Lesson…
Two announcements and something to learn. The first announcement is a reminder that the Foundations2: Expand Your Reach mini series is in full swing. The simple concept here is that if you reached enough people, then your business would be much more consistently full. We’ve had about 700 people jump into the series already. If […]
We’re Hiring! Are you our next Marketing Director?

The Full-Stop Problem Solver
