How High Performing Founders Get More Done in Less Time and STILL Grow Faster Than the “Hustlers”
If you’re a busy founder and have a ton going on and you feel like you’re completely overwhelmed, I’ve got a great strategy for you. When we start working with founders, one of the first things we do is look at time management— how to free up some time to get more important things done. […]
The Time I Refunded a Client 5K
Today is going to be a treat! For you. Not for me. I’m going to share an embarrassing story. Thankfully it’s not so embarrassing anymore, but at the time I wanted to melt into the floor. Anyway. Here it goes. Once upon a time, I was first starting out in SaaS software as a service. […]
Falling in Love with “NO”!
“Why Hearing “NO!” is Music To My Ears (And Why YOU Should Love NO too) Previously, I talked a little about what we were working on with our one on one clients. Something called Dream Client Catcher, which is how to get your perfect prospects attention, how to reach out to them, and how to […]
The Worst Advice I Ever Got
The worst advice I ever got when I started my business was: “Just tell your prospective client that you can do it, then come back and figure out how you’re going to deliver! You can always hire someone or ask someone who’s done it and they’ll show you how.” I can’t tell you how much […]
Where’s your focus?
The reason we don’t get what we want is because, far too often, we are focused on the wrong thing. A lot of folks want more money, so they focus on every which way they can get more money… Shady business deals, taking advantage of others and even breaking the law. Other folks want more […]
Three things I wish I knew
Someone recently asked me: What are three things you know now that you wish you knew? Here are my answers: 1. Focus on providing value instead of making more profit.

They wake up […]
What do you want?
What do you want? What do you really, REALLY want?! So tell me what you want… (zigazig ah?) There’s nothing like a little Spice Girls to get you movin’ in the morning I’m about to head out with @natalie and the doggies on a little road trip, but before I left I wanted to […]
What did you fail at today?
“What did you fail at today?” My wife Natalie Krall and I are going to ask our future kids this question, and often. We don’t want them to be afraid of failure… Because not failing means that they aren’t making progress, moving forward or taking action. It means they aren’t trying…it means they’re playin’ it […]
The Resistance
The more important a call to action is to our soul’s evolution, the more resistance we will feel when we pursue it.” – Steven Pressman There’s a reason there aren’t more Musks, Jobs, Bezos, and Gates in the world. There’s a reason you and I struggle to do great, wonderful things. It’s all because of […]
If I could send a letter to myself 20 years ago, here’s a few things I would tell myself
If I could send a letter to myself 20 years ago (knowing what I know now) this is what I would say: – You don’t have to be great at everything. While it’s good to know about a lot of things and try new things, pick a few that really make you happy and focus […]
