Every Meeting You’ve Ever Been To In 2 Minutes [Video]

Random Chats

Do you take meetings? In person or virtual, how many meetings do you take a day, a week, a month? Maybe a better question is, how much time do you waste in meetings? Here's the thing, I love a good meeting. Whether working in person writing on whiteboards and eating a boxed lunch, or virtually with a national team working toward a common goal, nothing gets me fired up like a really productive meeting. However... too many meetings are a waste of time that you can't get back.

3 Key Ways to Partner with Influencers in Your Niche

Marketing Strategy

Many new business owners get so excited at the thought of starting their own profitable company online that they do not look before they leap. They come up with what they think is a great new idea. Then they try to sell it without doing any homework. This lack of prep includes doing the proper market research to figure out demand for their new idea. This research should also include finding out what customers in the niche are willing to pay for products. Other new business owners go to the opposite extreme. They steer clear of certain top-earning niches because they think there is too much competition. Have you fallen into either one of these camps on your entrepreneurial journey? I'm a planner and researcher by nature so I'll typically fall into…

A Crash Course in Creating Effective Slide Shows

Marketing Strategy

In an earlier post, we introduced slide shows and how you can use them in your content marketing. Slide shows have a conservative, boring stigma attached to them, but they shouldn’t!

Tips and Tools

Slideshows can be a powerful presentation tool, if you consider the needs of your audience before you start up PowerPoint. Have you used slides in your presentations, either in person or virtual?
