Rebooting your coaching business
When the Spider-Man movie franchise was rebooted (again) recently, there were some groans from people who've seen several different reboots in a relatively short period of time. There were the Tobey Maguire films (2002-2007, which were my favourite), then Andrew...
Throw the baby out with the bathwater?
A trend has hit the online world lately: Facebook group owners closing their groups. It seems like it's the cool thing to do nowadays - make a big announcement about closing your group, then ride off into the sunset. Personally, I think it's crazy. I've heard the...
And then there were none …
I've been getting into fiction books lately, and I really enjoyed one I just finished by Agatha Christie called And Then There Were None. The book follows the troubles experienced by 10 strangers who are summoned by a mysterious person to a remote island. One by one...
Find out how Ryan Michler built his crazy successful business here
I've been following Ryan Michler (Order of Man) for a few years now ... Not in a creepy, stalker-ish way, but more of the "how-the-heck-did-he-do-that?" way. I'd been hearing his name around a lot because of his Order of Man stuff - he has a huge following (including...

Five frogs are sitting on a log …
Riddle me this: Five frogs are sitting on a log. Four decide to jump off. How many are left? Most people would answer "one". But there's an M.Night Shyamalan-like twist with this riddle ... The answer is actually "five" - since deciding to do something and actually...
It’s “about” time you checked out this page
A few years ago I sent out an email that led to a number of subscribers emailing me back to thank me for sending it ... In a nutshell, I gave one piece of advice in that email: Review your "About" page! The About page is one of the most-visited pages on any website....
