Have you ever heard of crowd-sourcing? I’m willing to bet you have at least seen it. You are in a group on social media and you see people asking questions about different things. It might be tech related, business related, or sometimes even something like time management related. Well today I’m going to do something a little bit different. I am going COMPLETELY unscripted. I’m going to be answeri...

Content: text, images, graphics, and vi...

I have to say...I know there are so many things that might stand in your way of outsourcing your tech. You may some assumptions about what happens with you get out of the realm of DIY and into the realm of Done-For-You. BUT… are those assumptions true? Today we’re going to deb...

Have you ever launched a product and said to yourself, “I really hope someone buys this.”?  I think we all have at some point in time.

Sure this is a podcast about the tech of business but so much of what we need to work through is the strategies in the business – the tech fulfills the strategy not the other way around. And that leads into my new offering and why it came to being in the way that it did. As of about 10 days ago as of the time of this release, I started selling website hosting. So, over on the resources page at htt...

This episode is covering an important topic: how to know when you’ve outgrown the way you’re currently using the technology in your business.
