4 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Domain Name

When there’s more than 284 million registered domain names online, you’re going to want yours to stand out. But you also want to be easily remembered, have a URL that accurately describes your business, and it would help if it ranks well in Google. Right? Right. It’s very easy to buy a domain name that you come to regret later. What was useful and fashionable years ago suddenly is unwieldy and a pain in the butt to describe now. You might take what you can get if your favoured domain is already taken, only for that to expire later on and you’re stuck with one you don’t like. Even worse, you could pay a great deal more for it later, or even spend

Ok Udemy Doesn’t Suck After All (for me)

A couple years ago my good friend,  Dan Martell, told me he was investing in a new site called Udemy.  A marketplace type site where you can upload your courses and sell them to people.  They handle customer support, refunds, merchanting and all of that. There seems to be a couple of these that come along every year and they all reach out to me (and im sure anyone who has training products online for sale) and I ignore them. I HATE THESE BUSINESS MODELS Why? You basically build their business for them.  You upload all your content,  promote it to your people/family/friends whatever,  send them a bunch of buyers, take your cut,  but now they have your list of buyers.  And they proceed to

Goals in One Word

That’s right, pick one word for your goals! Goals are something I do every day all year long. I know a lot about goals because I achieved all the important ones in my life. I know that sounds a little arrogant, but it is true. I was not my high school valedictorian nor did I graduate college phi beta kappa either. I was just the most determined person in the room and it worked! Impossible is just an opinion (Paulo Coelho). This is my mantra for dealing with difficult situations. I have achieved the impossible many times and continue to work on a number of impossible projects.  When I was thirty-one (31) years old, I wanted to achieve financial freedom before I reached forty years

Never make Excuses!

Excuses avoids responsibility! When you fail, do you make excuses?  Do you take responsibility for your actions or blame others?  What is your excuse for poor performance?  Excuses keep you from looking at the real problem!  Excuses will make you give up!  Do you start out with good intentions and tolerate poor results?
