Does This Heart of Money Thing Really Work?
We’ve taught the Heart of Money Transformational Journey well over 25 times in the past decade or more to thousands of people. Plus, many more have taken the home study version. There’s already a whole shebang of a sales page that explains the details (see links above). I just wanted to put this post up […]
Heart of Money Pre-release Mistake! Oy!
We made a big mistake yesterday. Actually, we made a second mistake recently, but one at a time. The $155 Mistake Kate and I were putting the finishing touches on the Heart of Money Homestudy promotion by doing the Right Price exercise. That’s where we use our hearts to land on what I call the […]
Getting Comments on Your Blog
A while ago our blog was in the same boat as many other blogger’s–posts, but no comments. If you look back at 2006 and into 2007, nada. No one responding, it seemed. I’m thinking about this, because the wonderful Corrina Gordon-Barnes wrote in (by email, not in a comment :)) with this question: Amazing Mark… […]
How a Bigger Small Business Avoids Overwhelm
I have something to confess: Heart of Business is a bigger business. It’s still teeny-weeny compared to the Big Guys. Even an average “small” business, like my family’s business was, does a few million dollars a year. However, when I think about where we were, actually I was, a few years back, that place many […]

How Many People Do You Really Need to Reach?
In my recent journeys on Twitter I’ve seen the extremes from “Get 20,000 followers in 30 days” to “it doesn’t matter how many people you have, what matters is the quality of the connection.” No, I don’t want to sleazily grab 20,000 people on Twitter, my blog, or email list. Yet it’s totally untrue that […]
Cool Kids, Nerds, and Content-Driven Momentum
“So what was the leap you made, Mark, from having a just-okay private practice to really experiencing momentum?” Kate Williams, my collaboratrix at Heart of Business, had put the question to me. She had admitted that although she had years of experience in small business, and although she had helped a university bookstore quadruple sales, […]

Is Tithing the Road to Abundance or New Age Nonsense?
You may be familiar with the principle of tithing–giving a certain percentage of your earnings to those in need. You may have also heard that what you give will come back to you twice-over, three-times over, seven-fold, or ten-fold. Different traditions have different formulas. Some people swear by it. Others just end up swearing as […]
