I was watching a YouTube video about the new Model Y Tesla has introduced. I have had a Model S for two years. Tesla’s are simply amazing cars. My curiosity about the newest model wasn’t the reason I was on YouTube, and I might be in the market for one (don’t tell my wife!), so […]
For many businesses, sales are hard to get. It’s hard to nail down what’s working with your marketing and resonating with customers. If you’re like many businesses, customers come and go without any rhythm or reason. This is frustrating because you’re probably getting enough sales to keep things going, but never enough to get things […]
If you’ve never eaten a Low Country Boil, you are truly missing out. They’re Heaven on a plastic tablecloth that I devour every chance I get invited to a Southern back-yard party or family summertime event. A Low Country Boil is to me what you want your postcard campaigns are to your prospects and clients: […]
Don Alan Schlitz, Jr., is the inspiration for this article. The platinum-selling singer/songwriter and the story behind his most famous song tells you all you need to know about my most favorite subject: testing.

What I find most positive about of being ‘down’ is the view back to the top. It is often a path littered with great ideas and promise. Just as fans will be back in the stands before we know it, clients will be calling and walking through your doors again. They’ll be ready to take […]
In any business which operates every day, there is only a dotted line connecting you to your existing clients. Unless you’ve found a way to commit them to buying your goods and services exclusively, there is nothing stopping them from taking it upon themselves to do a little research into things like price, terms, customer […]
It’s finally time to acknowledge that there is another side of the pandemic coming. Some businesses have fast-tracked that mindset and are already seeing traction. We’re going to come out of this, and we’re going to have to get back to work. If you’re lucky enough to have found a way through this pandemic, the […]
COVID-19 has so many people in a twist. That’s one way to start an article, right? Well, today in my back yard I was inspired by weeds of all things, because they keep me in a twist. I’d sprayed my landscaping the day before and I was checking on my handiwork to make sure I […]
