If there is something that you simply don’t know how to do. Accounting, photographing, programming, sales, marketing, whatever. The advice you should probably considering following are: hire the best you can find, even it means that you can’t afford them, and then get out of the way.

A friend sent me this video today and said, “Watch this. He is good.” And indeed, he is (over-15-million-hits-on-YouTube good). If you (or your product or your marketing or your business) are good, then you will be noticed and talked about in this hyper-connected Internet world.

You should have a vision of where your business, marketing or personal life is going. And it must be crazy and spectacular. You should get excited just thinking about it. It might even be world-changing. You don’t have to shout it out to the entire world just yet, although it doesn’t hurt if you do so. I have [...] January 19th, 2010 |
I have some “friends” who only talk to me when they need some favors. When that happens, my first thought usually is: “how much trouble do I need to go through in order to help?” Based on that, I would then make the decision of whether I could help or not. I have some other friends who [...] January 17th, 2010 |
…not if you are a small website/business anyway. To use automation or lack thereof as an excuse for not doing something is flat-out being lazy. Example: if your website isn’t capable of allowing your users to change some status on their own, post your email/phone number on your website and make it clear that there is a [...] January 15th, 2010 |

Courage is hard to find these days, especially when it involves millions and millions of dollars.

Here is my advice on a “Coming Soon” page: Don’t have one. There really isn’t any reason to have such a page. After all, you are not Google or Apple. There aren’t really people lining up waiting for the next big thing to be released by you and your business. Chances are, people who visit your website [...] January 4th, 2010 |
2010 is here — a brand new decade! I hate to be cynical here, but do you still remember 2000? The start of a new millennium? Things haven’t changed much since then for you, have they?
