I noticed a lot of people were posting content a certain way on LinkedIn that generated a ton of views. There was no gimmick like post parties or manipulating the LinkedIn algorithm. Good content in an easy-to-view format. The other day I came across some software that let me create carousels on LinkedIn. In case you’re not familiar, carousels More…

The Mastermind Book Club’s book of the month is They Ask, You Answer by Marcus Sheridan. I read a lot of books and I’m often surprised when a book becomes mega-popular by stating the obvious. As I read the book, I think to myself “This is so easy and effective but for some reason, I don’t do More…
Be honest with me. You invested in more than one Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal, didn’t you? What was your favorite deal? What grabbed your attention and made you feel like you had to pull the trigger? Did you really need it or was it a pure impulse buy? Deadlines work, don’t they? If you’re into creating great offers for your business, More…
I bet your inbox is full of Black Friday/Cyber Monday offers. How many “I’m grateful for you” Thanksgiving emails did you receive? Most of those gratitude emails sound like a sappy, impersonal Hallmark card. “We’re grateful for your support and the opportunity to serve you as a valued client. Thank you for choosing us and for giving us More…

That argument never flew with my Mother. I’m still wondering how my mother always knew when I was doing something wrong. I see this in the business world More…

I ran into an old friend on a webinar last week. Tommy and I met about 10 years ago in a mastermind. We were pretty close while we were in the mastermind. For years, we watched each other on social media, but haven’t spoken in a few years. We jumped on a call after the webinar and talked for More…
I haven’t done a webinar in over a year. I stopped doing online classes and videos. My weekly Tuesdays with Ted LinkedIn Live interviews came to a screeching halt. I turned down numerous in-person speaking engagements. I turned down all interviews and guest appearances. I stopped doing one-on-one consulting. Other than writing emails, I’ve gone silent. I didn’t plan to crawl under More…
I write every day. Some days ideas flow from me like Niagara Falls. Other days, ideas are as elusive as water in the Sahara Desert. You can Google “How to overcome writer’s block” and a million techniques will appear. I’ve tried many techniques. Some work. Some don’t. Some days nothing seems to spark an idea. Legendary copywriter, Eugene Schwartz, claims he never had More…
