If online courses are on your mind
Last week, I spread the word about a survey that Christian Gasper put out re: coaches and online programs. Thanks to everyone who completed it, and as promised, Christian has put together a training to help with the most common issues facing coaches around the topic....
How idiots track success
Life isn't all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows for online influencers. You'd think that having a bunch of YouTube subscribers or Instagram followers would automatically mean that they're millionaires and living the high life, but a lot of those people are struggling...
How Eddie spent his Friday nights
I once read a story about Eddie Van Halen that stuck with me: When Eddie was a teenager, his brother always tried to get him to go out with him and his friends on Friday nights. But Eddie wanted to become the greatest guitarist in the world, so he always declined and...
Don’t go pulling a Richard Simmons
A few years back, I listened to a podcast series called "Missing Richard Simmons". It was hosted by his former friend, and it was an investigation to find out what happened to the fitness guru since he completely withdrew from the public eye and had been hiding away...
Why “Batching On Steriods” is a bad way to create content

I was ready to throw in the email towel
Once upon a time, in the spring of 2016, I was ready to give up on email marketing. For two years I'd been doing it like most people do: I was sending out an email once a week, or twice a week, or sometimes every two weeks. It wasn't consistent. And I censored what I...
If your Facebook group is on life support …
A lot of coaches have Facebook groups, but they admit that there's not much going on in them. They usually have 50,100, or maybe a few hundred members - but the owner is the only one posting, and there's little engagement. That can be frustrating and leads to the...
