A rule that I follow when it comes to the online space
There's a rule of thumb that I stick to while navigating the online world: Assume that everyone is full of crap … until they prove otherwise! Anyone who's online can bestow "expert" status on themselves, regardless of how long they've been around or how good they...

With Tom Poland’s “Marketing With Webinars” bootcamp starting next week, here are more details for what he's doing - and why it matters more now than ever. Online marketing is the easiest way for any business to thrive in a post-COVID landscape and prepare for success...
No, webinars aren’t dead!
I laugh when I hear people in the online space declare that something is dead. I've heard it for years about email marketing, and it's said all of the time about webinars! Well, webinars aren't dead … but there's a right way, and a wrong way, to do them. Tom Poland...
Last call for Tom Poland’s “Marketing With Webinars” book!
One of my favourite past guests on my podcast is Tom Poland. He was on Natural Born Coaches back in 2019, and he was nice enough to snail mail me a copy of his book - which still holds a prominent position on my bookshelf. So I was excited to hear that Tom released a...
Business coaches wanted!

A “business coaching practice in a box”
A tweet that I stumbled across: "No two businesses are the same. Don’t do something just because it worked for someone on Quora" While I get the point that the author is trying to make, I'd argue that business is business and there's no point reinventing the wheel....

How to protect yourself against time change wackiness!
Daylight saving time hit my neck of the woods (Canada) last night, and here's a quick PSA for those doing business online: Don't assume that everyone in the world made the same time shift! I once had a call scheduled with a client in the United Kingdom during this...
Entrepreneurial evolution
Every business evolves. Those that don't will suffer. Plenty of coaches think that once they choose a niche/target market that they're tied to that for years (or decades!) They think that it's like marriage, and it's 'til death do us part. Not true. The business...
Is Brian Campbell the coaching world’s Jim Bouton?
I recently started reading "Ball Four" by Jim Bouton, since it came highly recommended from a coaching friend of mine. As a baseball fan, I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't read it before now, but better late than never, right? If you don't know the book, Bouton...
